Every Strong Body (2026)

For people who realize that being fit is important but want more from their body than another tired step on a soul sucking treadmill or another heavy thing to pick up and put down in pursuit of looking better as you pick up more stuff and put it back down.

I might just post sunsets now. Every night is different even if it doesn’t always feel that way

Beach trash or nature? I found this bottle on the beach that 25 live goose barnacles had made a home out of. Felt weird throwing a plastic bottle back in the ocean to protect nature.

This is something I’ve dealt with my entire life. I usually don’t get tired enough to sleep until somewhere between 5-7am. In my 20s this wasn’t much of a problem because I’d work jobs that started in the afternoon or even overnight.

Spending my 30’s as a personal trainer it was a huge problem as I had clients at 6am 5 days per week. This usually meant I didn’t sleep at all during the week save for a couple naps I could sneak in between clients. Many times I’d get less than 8 hours total over the course of mon-Friday and I did this for almost a decade.

When people find this out they assume I’m just not trying hard enough or if I just woke up earlier I’d fall asleep earlier. I was often told not to nap during the day as if my 1 hour of sleep per day was just ruining my sleep appetite at night.

Listening to everyone, I just felt like a degenerate. I was lazy. I needed to do better. Fixing my sleep was on every goal list and it always failed. I listened to stories about the celebrated early bird as I walked through life in a daze just trying to not fall apart as I slept away my weekends trying to catch up and my anxiety became crushing.

I tried medications both over the counter and prescription to ill-effect. It wasn’t until I learned about DSPS that I realized I wasn’t just lazy. Since then I’ve started restructuring my life to deal a little better and for the first time in a decade I feel almost human again. It’s not perfect but if this is you, take note. It might be your natural circadian rhythm. You might not just be a failure who can’t ever seem to get it together.

BUT WHAT IS THE BEST DIET?

Diet is easier than we make it out to be if we remove the dogma.

Here's how and why you should use context to determine the best diet for you.

It's no secret that our modern world is set up to raise the barrier to activity while also increasing access to energy-dense foods.

This has contributed to a crisis of metabolic disease and obesity and that has, in turn, led to blanket advice about what we ALL need to be doing for better health.

To be healthy you MUST:

-Replace higher density foods like fats and meats with low energy foods like fruits and vegetables

and

-Increase activity where ever possible.

For many, who struggle with one or both of these, this is great advice.

Until you actually get good at doing both of them that is.

Very health conscious people are often plagued with health issues even though they "eat healthy" and workout often.

The problem is they are not paying attention to context.

On an energy need basis, they are "eating healthy" for a person who is less active than they are.

SO HOW DO YOU PUT CONTEXT BASED EATING INTO ACTION?.

1. Start with a diet based on fruits and vegetables with some protein and a little fat added each meal.

2. Then adjust by adding more calorie dense foods and carbs to that base.

Here are three examples you can use to get yourself started.

-A 100lb inactive woman might start around 1500 calories.

-An average sized guy who works out with weights 3x per week should add to that enough energy dense protein, fat and carb foods to bring that up to around 2500 calories.

-If you're super active (athletes who train multiple hours daily) depending on your training style and size you may need north of 5000 calories per day. In that case, if you can keep the low energy foods great, but you'll probably need to start replacing those with higher calorie foods and possibly supplementing and even eating some junk foods to keep up with their daily energy need.

Use these examples to figure out where you might be between them. Then adjust based on results. And remember context beats dogma.
