Convenience and cost has replaced many of the traditions and cultural practices of our ancestors and our species’ current overall health is reflective by the pain, discomfort and suffering of today’s average Human.  From elite level athletes to corporate employees, and sadly even our youth are not thriving as the most dominant species did and should!  We are a victim to the Human Zoo we unknowingly created and I have the keys out!

Let’s define your personal goals and establish a direct focus to not only become Functionally Competent but to become Functionally Competitive on every level of life!  

Until recently we would have sourced nutrient dense evolutionary consistent foods but we now have options being manufactured in labs or in the form of supplemental ingredients to close gap discrepancies and attempt to mimic what nature already has perfectly accomplished.  These ‘food scientists’ know exactly how to stimulate your dopamine response and harness our addictive behaviours to directly fill their revenue stream.  They even drive marketing campaigns around these concepts, ‘Bet you can’t eat just one…’  Your body’s response to these foods also disrupts the natural response to positive supportive foods cascading with continuous cravings and depletion of available nutrients.  Those empty calories leave your body starving and expecting more in response to the amount of digestion required.  Typically, we look at eliminating damaging seed oils, grains(including whole or otherwise) and refined sugars.  Basically, if it’s in a package with a label then it most likely contains one or all of these ingredients.

Sleep is another critical component to achieving Functional Competence.  If you are not waking up feeling completely restored and ready to begin your day, then something is off with your sleep.  If your mouth is dry when you wake, that’s an issue.  If you watch screens before bed and not cognizant of light sources and how they effect our circadian rhythm, including luminaries in your home and the sun, then we have another problem.  Melatonin and Cortisol are opposing hormones that directly effect this rhythm and your ability to get a proper night’s sleep.  We haven’t even discussed Vitamin D and embracing the sun, sunsets, sunrises and the natural spectrum we see from the sun and how our pineal gland expects these differing spectrums.  If you want to perform optimally both cognitively and athletically you need to grow and recover physically as well as remove the toxin buildup in your brain while you cycle through the different stages of sleep.  I can teach you how!

The people in our network and actions we take influence our decisions and create habits.  It’s important to surround yourself with a community or tribe that always supports and holds you accountable to be your best.  Once you take action to living healthier, living becomes easier and you can focus attention on who and what you genuinely enjoy spending time on as well as building supportive habits that drive positive growth and mindset.  Learn who and what supports you and maybe more importantly what doesn’t!

Standard of care for western allopathic medicine is unfortunately a business, a business that is built on referrals and prescription notes and not actually ‘healing’ a patient.  Obviously, why remove them from the subscription inspired ‘sick’ care system.  If there’s an emergency or acute condition our trained professionals and modern technology are absolutely incredible and have improved and saved countless lives, I have nothing but respect for anyone working in the field of medicine.  But, they’re nowhere near as successful when faced with chronic disease or actually identifying and treating root cause conditions instead of simply treating textbook symptoms.  Making lifestyle adjustments today can help to reduce the potential need for allopathic intervention tomorrow.  

Health: The State of being free from illness or injury; The absence of illness or disease;

Wellness: The state of being in good health, especially as an actively pursued goal;

Functional Competence: Maximally expressing your genetic inheritance.

Two typical mistakes made in life, not starting and not following through!
