Think about it: missing a workout, a healthy meal, or a productive routine isn’t the end of the world—it’s just a slip. But missing twice? That’s when it starts becoming something else entirely. When we allow a habit to slide, even for a day, it can be easy to think, “I’ll just skip today, and I’ll get back on track tomorrow.” But as Clear says, missing a habit twice can be the start of a new habit—one ....

  • Not All Food Is Created Equal: Why Digestive Enzymes Matter for Your Health

    We all know that processed foods aren’t doing us any favors. From bloating and gas to more subtle, long-term effects, the impacts of a diet heavy in low-quality foods can add up—and can make weight loss or fat burning much harder than necessary. One surprising effect of eating poor-quality food is the reduction in natural digestive enzymes that your body produces. But what exactly are digestive enzymes, and why do they matter? What Are Digestive Enzymes and Why Are They Important? Digestive enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts, breaking down the food we eat into smaller, more absorbable nutrients. Different enzymes are secreted by various parts of the digestive ....

  • A Simple Mindset Shift Changed Everything

    Back in 2018 I suffered from an abdominal hernia, and at the time we didn't have enough employees, so I couldn't take time off and get it fixed. It progressed to the point where I couldn't lift weights without significant pain.

I ended up hiring a bodyweight training coach, and started learning new things and started to get a different perspective on training. These are skills and principles that I still use today and that have become a part of our ....
