Your fitness tracker can tell you what happened. Only you can feel what's happening right now. In this week's piece, we explore interoception, presence in training, and why "train by feel, verify by data" might be the most useful approach to your fitness routine. Link in comments below

Dried Fruit and Cheese Intake Linked to Lower Stroke Risk.
New research suggests that dried fruit and cheese intake were associated with a 50% and 27% lower risk of stroke, respectively. Researchers speculate that compounds in these foods may influence inflammation, circulation, and metabolic health in ways that support brain and blood vessel health.

Texas Goes After Glyphosate
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton issued Civil Investigative Demands (CIDs) to pesticide and food manufacturers, including Bayer and PepsiCo, as part of efforts to examine health risks from glyphosate residues—particularly in oat-based cereals, snacks, and other products marketed to children, where the herbicide is often used as a desiccant shortly before harvest.
The probe aims to determine if companies have misled consumers about product safety and compliance.

New post on Movement-Strength-Mind — and this one gets at something I see every week in practice.

We talk a lot about physical conditioning — aerobic fitness, strength, mobility. But the conditioning that shapes how we train, rest, and move goes much deeper than any workout program.

In this post, I explore both sides of that word: what your body needs to stay strong and capable, and how the beliefs you carry about exercise either support or undermine the work you’re putting in.

Whether you’re an athlete managing the edges of overtraining, someone rebuilding after time away from movement, or somewhere in between — this one is for you.

Read it at the link below. And if you’re ready to take a more intentional look at how you train, recover, and move through the years ahead, one-on-one coaching is available at activetahoe.com.

WHAT YOUR BODY DOES — AND WHAT YOUR MIND BELIEVES — ARE BOTH HABITS

After nearly 40 years in practice, one pattern I see more than any other: stress doesn't destroy the body evenly. It finds the weak points and concentrates there — physically, chemically, and emotionally. In my latest article I break down exactly how this works and what you can do to spread the load and build resilience instead of wearing it down. Whether you're an athlete, an active adult, or just someone who wants to stay ahead of the curve — this is worth a read. 🔗 Link below

Stress builds you or breaks you. It all depends on the focus.

Most people focus on movement and strength—but overlook the one system that drives them both:

Breath.

• Nervous system balance
• Recovery and circulation

Tapping Into Your Innate Healing Potential

Staying active is essential—but how you move matters just as much as how often.

Many people develop stiffness or discomfort not from inactivity, but from repeating the same movement patterns over time.

In this article, we explore a simple concept inspired by the Traditional Chinese Medicine Five Phase Theory:

Movement has seasons—daily, weekly, and throughout the year.

Learning to recognize and adapt to these phases can help improve mobility, reduce irritation, and support long-term strength.

If you’re looking to move better and stay active for life, this is a great place to start.

Strong bodies and confident minds are built the same way—through clear intention, emotional readiness, and consistent action.

This article uses a mountain metaphor to explore how real confidence is earned, not given, and how stepping thoughtfully beyond the ordinary builds resilience, awareness, and mastery—on the slopes and in everyday life.

If staying active, capable, and confident matters to you, this perspective may resonate.

These three patterns show up in daily life—not the gym—and they matter more than most exercises.
