Starting a New Health Protocol

 Had a call yesterday with a new health coach. Cool dude. I'm liking the plan of action he is suggesting, which I'll be following. 

Introducing some new supplements, 5 in total. Tweaking my diet a bit to be more protein focused, and to eat 3 filling meals and not really snack much at all. He did say snacking in the evening before bed would be the best time because having some cards with protein tends to support sleep. 

My goal is 160g of daily protein. I'll be eating lots of grass fed beef, pasture-raised chicken, with some other meat mixed in. Implementing more free range eggs into my day, probably having 3 each morning for breakfast with some meat. Will probably do lots of grilled chicken salad for lunch and then beef and veggie, sometimes with a carb for dinner.

Also going to start trying to do some super light resistance training. Any type of physical exertion has been quite problematic for me since getting really sick over 6 years ago. But, part of it has been my fault with trying to go too hard, too fast. I'm going to really easy into it: 3x/week, 3 workouts, 10-12 reps with weight that doesn't tax my body to lift. And never doing it two days in a row, he said. Will continue doing my yin yoga and nature walks throughout the week. Workouts to start will be: rows, dumbbell press, and air squats.

Here's his plan straight from an email...

"Our 6–12 Week Focus

1. Reset your energy systems (mitochondria, nervous system, circadian rhythm)
2. Ease your body back into movement without triggering crashes
3. Stabilize your mood and focus through nervous system regulation and methylation support
4. Reduce inflammation and toxic load so you stop hitting walls"

Here's to looking forward to healthier and happier days ahead!
