Product Information

BUT if you’re in this situation of being chronically dehydrated (don’t beat yourself up, I find that 85% of people are) then HIGH FIVES because you can completely turn your energy around in the next 24-48 hours. I recently had to opportunity to spend some time with Christopher and we discussed his process of researching and writing Natural Born Heroes, and how Phil came to play a central role in his story. In the final analysis, Christopher had put to words the diet and workouts used by the many natural born heroes — both modern and historical — in his new book. He said he had consumed mostly grain products and water during his odd transcontinental tour. And now? "A beer and a steak," he said. "And I probably won't run again until, oh, maybe tomorrow."

Life is a marathon, not a sprint, and you must prepare accordingly. Unlike sprinters, who focus on how fast they can get to the finish line no matter the cost, endurance athletes have no finish line. There is only the present moment, in which they must remain connected to their body, in tune with their every move, in a place that feels comfortable and productive and that they are able to maintain indefinitely.” -Stu Mittleman, Slow Burn When we warm up slowly for a workout, we’re using aerobic metabolism and are able to burn fat. If we then continue to move at a slow to moderate pace during our workout, we can keep burning fat. But when we suddenly move fast—like when sprinting or in HIIT workouts—we shift into anaerobic metabolism, deplete our glycogen stores, get out of breath, and feel the burn of lactic acid that’s produced by anaerobic metabolism. While you’re taking the in breath, with each breath you will want to tap your fingers to your thumb in this pattern: on the in breaths tap your right thumb on each of your fingers, one at a time from your first finger through to your little finger; then on the out breaths do the same with your left hand – starting on your first finger, then index, middle and then little finger In the book, Stu Mittleman shares a story about an ultra event (six day race where he averaged over 70 miles per day). He was truly in ‘the dip’– he was feeling tired, everything hurt and the prospect of giving up was really alluring. More interesting, though, was that his head was saying ‘this will never end’ and despair was setting in.

When you start consuming healthy fats, the body not only loves you for the many beneficial effects the fats bring (increased metabolism, support for the liver and kidneys, brain health, skin health, digestive health and so on) but the body is also able to directly use this for energy production. Without a doubt, the most important thread has to do with “going the distance” and being productive, effective and energetic over a long period of time. I’ve worked with racecar drivers and Wall Street people who simply want to get by on less sleep, be more active and have less downtime during the day. Of the people who come to me with no intention of doing a marathon, about one in three end up doing one and shattering limiting beliefs about themselves. How do you start working with people?

This aside, however, I would like to draw your attention to three specific lessons that apply equally to endurance running and to money management (apart from the fact that the former results in physical health and the latter in financial health).Eating fructose is the only way these two types of harmful saturated fats appear in the bloodstream. It’s SUGAR not FAT that makes you fat. The first step is to understand how that person is organized in terms of the physiological and structural components, as well as his or her thought processes. I want to learn what his or her core assumptions are of what it means to be healthy and fit. This process is important to develop and gain trust and rapport. What does it take for people to stay on your program? Add it to smoothies – just blend in your daily requirement when you’re making a smoothie (or soup for that matter).

It’s quite possible that the proportion of types of muscle fibers we’re born with may influence the type of exercise we enjoy. For example, if you’re born with a greater percentage of slow-twitch fibers, you may naturally prefer long-distance running over power lifting, because it feels easier and is therefore more enjoyable. When you’re dehydrated you are starving your body of one of, if not THE, most important tool it needs to do it’s job. Structure is the fundament of life. Regularity is in the basis of paying off debt, building immense wealth, writing books, building a successful career, developing skills and competencies, sports…you name it.Holding foods next to you and go through the test will allow you to know which foods will make you stronger. Study: Association of dietary, circulating, and supplementary fatty acids with coronary risk: a systematic review and meta-analysis; Chowdhury R, Warnakula S, Kunutsor S, et al; Annuls of Internal Medicine, 2014; March 18; 160(6):398-406. ( source here) Reflex points for the key organ groups of adrenals, liver, kidney, colon, and stomach are located above and approximately one inch to the left and right of the navel. Closest to the navel and below the other two are the kidney pressure points (or reflexes). One inch above the kidney reflex points are the adrenal points (one inch to the left and right and two inches above the navel). Three inches above and one inch to the left and right of the navel are the reflex points for the liver. Stimulation of tender accupressure points for twenty to thirty seconds two to three times a day activates lymphatic (the body’s sewage system), blood, and energy flow to the muscles, organs, and glands. For daily maintenance, stimulate all the reflexes identified in the following illustration for three to five seconds. If a spot is especially tender, continue to “work” the spot for sixty seconds or until the tenderness is reduced. During athletic competition, stimulation can continue for two to three minutes.”
