Three Levels to Master to Live a Long and Healthy Life

If you’ve been struggling to become healthier or are aspiring to, then today, I’m going to share the 3 categories of health and exactly how to improve all three categories for maximized well-being.

Category #1:

The looks aspect. This category is the bodybuilders with big muscles, but typically doesn’t feel good in their own bodies. Which leads me to my next point…

Category #2:

How you feel in your own body. Having high energy levels. This is also where the woo-woo crowd is, with the super spiritual people that lacks a good physique.  

Category #3:

Performance. These are the athletes. They perform fantastic, but oftentimes, they’re burning the candle in both ends to perform at that level.

Now, I know that there are some people who only have the aesthetics and performance, then there are some people who feel great and have the performance, and some who have the aesthetics and feel great, but I want YOU to have all three categories unlocked so you can feel great, look good AND also perform at an elite level mentally & physically.

To make this happen, I’ve created a 3-layer pyramid with each layer of its importance to maximizing those 3 categories for optimal well-being.

At the foundation of the pyramid is energy because without it you can’t even get yourself out of bed in the morning, play with your kids, or work properly. So, we have to understand what gives us energy, which are:

#1 : Movement - I’m not talking about lifting heavy weights in the gym, but about natural and rhythmic movements like gardening, walking, or dancing.

#2: Water - Specifically, structured water

#3: Sunenergy

#4: Air - How we breath and interact with air

#5: Food - Specifically, the minerals that keep us going

#6: Laughter - Our love & connection to people

#7: Sleep - Getting proper rest

Now, we also have to be aware of credit energy, which are things that steal energy from the future and is given to us now on credit so we have to pay for it later. These are things like caffeine, alcohol, and processed sugar. They give us energy now, but it’s on credit, so we gotta pay for it later by becoming very tired.

The second layer of the pyramid is consumption… and I’m not talking about the food you eat, because we already covered that in the last step. It’s about what you see, speak, touch, hear and most importantly, our self-talk (the voice in ourselves) because that’s what constructs our self-image and self-believe.

Now, we’ve reached the top of the pyramid which is movement optimization. This is where most people jump to without mastering the first 2 fundamental steps. The worst part is that they don’t even jump to the top of the pyramid correctly. They just start doing all kinds of sports or working out like a little kid high on sugar.

So what optimization of movement really means is…

• How you hold you posture

• And how you run, throw, and jump

In a nutshell, it’s about your alignment with physics and gravity.

If you’ve made it this far, then you might be a bit overwhelmed or confused about where to even start. The point where all my students inside the CTN Health & Wealth Academy start is with a process called ‘The Gut Right System’ that works regardless if you’re a pro athlete, entrepreneur, or grandma.

This process gives your whole system a proper vacation where you can reset, refresh, repair, rewire, reground and remove. It helps reestablish the gut-brain connection, which are the two gods inside you that will show you the path to improve your well-being because regardless of how perfect your health is, chances are that you’ve believed in certain things that an indoctrinated doctor or so-called “expert” has told you.

So we do this process to get out of our own way and cut the noise.

Now, I want to make it crystal clear that I’m not your typical health guru prescribing what should work the best for you, because we’re all unique. What I’m prescribing is a process to reconnect that gut-brain connection, so YOU know what is best for YOU.

Trust me, when you cut the noise and remove the junk in the system on all levels, you’ll actually become super-clear on what the next step is for you to improve your vitality, look and performance.

I break this down in more detail on my latest YouTube video so go check it out on my channel for more info on mastering these three levels to live a long and happy life.

The Worst Health Tips for Men to Listen to in 2024

If you think pumping iron in the gym is the equivalent to good health, then I’m about to drop a truth bomb on you that might change your perspective on health forever.

Let me ask you a question: Do you think I felt great in this picture? (picture of you with the abs in the gym)

If you said yes, then you’re completely wrong.

See, I followed the traditional advice about health, fitness and wellness:

• Eat 1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight

• Lift heavy weights, do supersets, and drop sets till your joints snap

• Take BCAA, creatine, protein powder, and casein

And it left me with:

• Serious chronic back pain that made it hard to even stand straight

• Gut issues that left me with a bloated gut

• Mental struggles like anxiety, depression, and feeling like shit when I woke up

But the worst part is that you might think that I was able to do backflips, run 100 miles, or climb mountains because of the way I looked, but this traditional fitness advice made me super unathletic.So for a few years I went to several doctors, and specialists, and here is what I have learned that skyrocketed my energy, resolved my back pain, and improved my mental and physcial performance.

You see, health, fitness, and wellness are divided into three categories.

• Performance - mental sharpness, and great physical performance

• Vitality - high energy, longevity, dis-ease free

• Aesthetics - your ideal physique for your preferred activities and being happy with the way you look in the mirror
  
  

I only had the look, but was heavily lacking with my vitality and performance. In fact, it’s very rare to find someone who’s good in all 3 categories. Usually, you will see many pro athletes and CEO’s who are high performers, but lack vitality and good body image.

And then there’s also the ones who have great vitality but are weak performers and look scrawny. These are also the type of people you never want to have on your side in a fight.

So if I were to give you one thing that would help you improve in all three categories, that most of the health community rarely even talks about then it would be to give your system, not just the body, but also the mind and spirit (mind, body, spirit) a vacation.

Now, I’m not talking about the type of vacation where you’re drinking in Cancun, sightseeing in Rome, or skiing in the alps. I’m talking about giving the system time and resources to recharge, repair, and replenish inside out. But before I reveal how to reset your system to improve your health…

Consider that we:

• Eat an average of 70 tons of dehydrated food in our lifetime, which can produce a lot of cellular waste and lead to many diseases

• We are constantly on the move and under stress, (you don’t need a PHd to know what stress does to the body)

• We eat about a creditcard worth of microplastics every week

• Then we follow traditional advice to become healthy by beating ourselves up in a fake environment called a gym

If this is the modern environment most people live in, then it’s almost impossible to improve your health at all.

And that’s why we have to learn how to make our body more resilient and that starts with learning how to give our system a proper vacation to reset, recharge, and replenish.

Personally, I do this regularly to maintain great health and I’ve documented my simple process inside The Gut Right Handbook that I would be happy to give to you for free.

Remember, true well-being doesn’t come from the gym, it begins by giving your mind, body, and spirit the vacation they deserve.

How to Start a Healthy Lifestyle You Won’t Need a Break From

Today's blog is for people wanting to make more out of life and if you read until the end, you will gain specific action steps to live life to its fullest extent. 

At some point, we all get the feeling that “there must be more to life than being born, going to school, family, and then death. So today I'm going to share the 9 things I wish I knew in my 20s to get the most out of life that you can use too. I wrote my first-ever blog article about this topic...

Remember the bat man movie, where the only difference between a hero and a villain is the decision they make after experiencing childhood pain/adversity/trauma and how they use power. When I realized there was more to life than to simply exist and then eventually dying, I made it into “I want to design a life I don’t need a break from and help others do the same” while making a living.” 

This is also why productivity is bullshit, (you don’t need more productivity apps or productivity planners, because the real secret lies in doing less while doing it very well, and not more. That’s how you can enjoy the little time we have here while fulfilling your purpose. 

If you want to unlock your life’s fullest potential, answer this question ....When you experienced trauma/pain as a child or even as a teen, what decisions did you make about life and people? 

As a helpful framework, to get a better understanding of yourself and your aspirations, I found the seven areas of life and created a list of them, which includes:

1. Physical health 

2. Mental and spiritual health 

3. Personal growth 

4. Finances/Resources 

5. Relationships 

6. Contribution to society 

7. Time/career 

Most lists that I saw and the ones that I created can be broken down into two major categories; Health and Wealth.

Think about it... when people get asked what they would want the most in life what do you think they usually say? They say that their health is lacking and they wish they prioritized it more.

So let's break down how to achieve good HEALTH, but before we do that, there is a piece of the puzzle I found that not a lot of people talk about; when it comes to achieving both health and wealth... You see, both come down to your daily habits. If we take a look at Pareto’s principle, 20% of your success comes from knowledge or a blueprint and 80% of your success comes from your behavior. So to really achieve elite health, we need to ask ourselves, what drives human behavior?

So let's look at the 6 primal needs that drive human behavior. I got this from Tony Robbins.

You really don’t need monk-like discipline to win, you just need to be honest with yourself about how these 6 needs drive your behavior and then change your environment accordingly. So now that you know how to achieve the 80% that are responsible for your success, let’s look at the remaining 20% that will allow you to truly achieve health and wealth. 

After talking to and coaching hundreds of people, the desires I have come across in the area of health can be divided into 3 categories -

1. Look good,

2. Feel great,

3. Perform at a high level mentally & physically).

On the health side, what affects how we look, feel, and perform? Let's look at it more holistically... 

1. Alignment with nature (Movement, water, sun, fresh air, food, laughter, and sleep)

2. Consumption (hear, see, etc) as it impacts our self-image and belief system 

3. Alignment with natural law (physics, gravity, rip and saw) 

Most people I talk to in their gut know what to do for the most part, maybe not in detail but on a fundamental level, but still don’t do it because their brains are messed up. There is so much noise (addictions, marketing, even considering 7 deadly sins on a non-religious level... pride, envy, anger, sloth, greed, gluttony, lust. Marketers know this and take advantage of it to sell us things we don’t need with promises we don’t get) 

So we have to cut the noise and reset + rewire not the brain but the second brain... the gut. If you want a more visual break down of this with even more insight then check out me latest YouTube video on this!
