Is Obesity Comparable to Cancer? -

I spent last Sunday watching NASCAR like a strongly-opinionated divorced uncle, and a commercial for a weight loss drug opened up with the line “for adults with obesity.” I didn’t know exactly how I felt about that wording at first, other than it didn’t sit well with me. Yes, it’s grammati...

Which candy bar caused the conflict in the recent “Jurassic World” movie?
Wanted to pretend I made this for my kids and our friends’ children—but I mostly made it for me. Also, i’d rather you skip arm day than leg day.

Midpoint sponsors my daughter’s lemonade stand, and they home-make lemonade with my own mother—making this a 3 generation lemonade stand. It’s top-shelf citrus squeeze & sugar.
If you are diabetic or insulin resistant…who cares. Ride the lightning. Look at those faces!
Will we see ya tonight @6:30!?

Helped one of my closest friends finish his first nonstop causeway 5K! Always a good time & Monday runclub (and always a free beer 😉)
We’re there every week with friends, clients, kids, and some Ospreys. Open invite to anyone who wants to walk, interval run, or improve their 5k pace.
Proud of ya, “bruv”

One commonality of most people who struggle with their weight?
The amount of these “hyperpalatable foods” they consume.
These foods are manufactured deliciousness—and everyone knows it. The combination of fats and carbohydrates means they’re chock full of calories, yet free of providing a feeling of fullness. And their convenient eat-ability means you can eat and overeat while your attention is elsewhere.
It’s insanity to think you’ll exclude these foods forever—it’s 2025. But if you want to improve your health across the board, it’s necessary to only eat them rarely.
Which is your favorite?⬇️ (ours is the pictured blueberry muffin 🤤)

The Insufferable Fit Person -

As empowering as improving your health and fitness is—it should humble you. For some, they become unbearable. And they’re the ones that usually speak the loudest and most often—which usually attaches a stigma of being healthy which repels normal, real people. Fitness and bettering themselves b...

Is having a job the biggest contributor to what you don’t like in the mirror?
I asked a client who constantly struggles with junk food at work,
“Why do you always give in?” He said, “All my coworkers are fat and don’t care.”
He’s frustrated, sure. But is he wrong? Not entirely.
Yes, he’s still responsible for eating the Lays, the Mini-Snickers, and the donuts. But he’s also in an environment which can be stressful at times (work), and that is when that dopamine-driven “reward seeking” behavior kicks in. As soon as he peaks his head up, there’s junk-food aplenty. That combination would break most of us.
Discipline matters, but so does your environment.
Most jobs don’t support a healthy environment, but that’s not necessarily on purpose.
Communicate to your p*ers that you’re not snacking and eating junk anymore because you don’t want to. Bring your own lunch (one you want to eat). Prep some snacks. Prepare for it to be difficult, but the delayed gratification is sweeter than the nougat.
Comment or DM “work” if your job is your downfall😵‍💫

Are your supplements actually helping you absorb more nutrients… or just making expensive p*e?
💊
Here’s part 2 of our easy-to-digest absorption series—this time focused on supplements that actually help your body break down and use the food you’re eating ➡️🔸
From enzymes to probiotics to stomach acid boosters, these are the real players when it comes to digestion and absorption. As always, we kept this brief for viewability—but if you want to dive deeper (like when NOT to take Betaine HCl—if you’ve got ulcers or reflux 🚫), shoot us a DM 😎

Intermittent Fasting (IF) is a modern take on the ancient practices of spiritual or religious fasting (even clinical fasting to a degree). To many it might sound like a FAD of the 2010s, but IF is still in full force and I’m either asked about it regularly, or have a client practicing it to some d...

Are you actually absorbing the nutrients from your food?
Here’s an easy-to-digest post on how to make sure your healthy habits are actually paying off ➡️🔸
From chewing to meal timing to food pairings—small tweaks can make a big impact on how well you absorb nutrients. I kept this brief for viewability, but if you want to dive deeper (like why beef+spinach+your fruit of choice is a force multiplier), or how unwashed beans could be your downfall), DM us your questions 😎
