“Nutrition can make a good athlete great, or a great athlete good.” Mark Verstegen, Founder and President of EXOS Eat BREAKFAST everyday! COME BACK TO EARTH!!! Try to choose the least processed forms of food. Animal protein, healthy fats, vegetables, minimal nuts, seeds, fruit and whole grains. EAT SMALLER PORTIONS MORE OFTEN spread evenly across the day. INCLUDE A HEALTHY PROTEIN SOURCE with each snack and meal. EAT FATS THAT GIVE SOMETHING BACK: Include healthy fats in your diet like coconut oil, olive oil, avocado, fish, pastured raised beef, pastured eggs, flaxseed, nuts, and seeds. DON’T WASTE YOUR WORKOUT: Drink a pre-workout shooter and/or a post-workout recovery shake or meal immediately after intensive training. ADD a multivitamin with anti-oxidant complex and an omega – 3 fish oil supplement into your daily routine. STAY HYDRATED: (.5 – 1 x body weight = ounces of water per day) by drinking only non-caloric beverages (water/green tea) EAT A RAINBOW OFTEN: Eat vegetables with each meal, and the best quality animal protein. SLEEP: Get some rest!

One man’s meat is another man’s poison. What is Metabolic® Typing? Metabolic® Typing is a system for identifying your optimal starting point for fine-tuning your macronutrient (animal to plant food) ratios. Today, this is not so easily done because in the past 1,000 years there has been an increase in racial mixing as we’ve become progressively more mobile. Only a few hundred years ago, it was normal for an Aboriginal to live his entire life without meeting an Eskimo or any other significantly different race (and therefore, genes). Today, the Eskimo thriving on about 90% animal foods: 10% plant foods could mate with the inland Aboriginal eating the opposite ratio of about 90% plant foods: 10% animal foods. Their offspring could have a phenotype akin to the mother’s, the father’s, or require a range of nutrients far broader than either parent alone! This can create some interesting dietary challenges because of the variances in phenotypes among races with such radically different environmental demands on their genes. To illustrate one example of humans developing within a certain environment/food shed. The below inserted pictures reveal the Bioregion of the Lakota People, and their traditional foods from the land where they also developed. Instead of eating a diet based on modern “foods of commerce”, we can look more closely at the traditional foods eaten by our ancestors in the bio-region where they lived. Their genes, and thus ours, evolved a synergistic relationship with animals and plants that are prepared and eaten within the food culture of their native land. Eating whole foods similar to those your genetic fore-bearers ate can help to provide...

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, “My son, the battle is between two “wolves” inside us all. One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, doubt, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence,empathy, generosity, forgiveness, truth, compassion and faith.” The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: “Which wolf wins?” The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.” Thoughts can become things. The power of your thoughts can go in either direction. The on-going collection of quotes below is intended to inspire you along your life’s journey. A healthy mindset of aligned thoughts, actions, and habits is one of the best tools to manage stress. Thoughts can greatly influence your reality, and they are probably your number one asset when properly utilized. Many diet and exercise programs assume that formulating good eating habits and getting in better shape are all you need, but that only works in the short term. For true health and performance to be realized it’s essential to practice a mindset that is authentic to your values and considers the process just as important as the outcome goals. For long-term success, it’s important to create a practice that will help guide you through the process and keep you motivated toward a big-picture lifestyle change. To optimize health and performance for every individual, it is essential four key areas are exercised in a balanced manner: The Principles...

“A man should look for what is, and not for what he thinks should be.” Albert Einstein Stress was originally coined by Hans Selye in 1956, describing the general adaptation syndrome where the initial response, the alarm stage, is negative, with the physiological state of the organism decreasing following the imposition of stress shown in the image below. A more comprehensive model of the physiological responses to training stimuli is the fitness-fatigue theory. Proposed in 1982 by Banister, the fitness-fatigue model argues that different training stresses result in different physiological responses, particularly using an individual’s baseline of training to better quantify fitness (a positive adaptation) versus fatigue (a negative adaptation). How it works: The framework takes your fitness level and subtracts your fatigue to estimate performance. The fluctuations in your daily performance show your fatigue. See this study published in the Strength and Conditioning Journal for more on the fitness-fatigue model. When quantifying fatigue, it’s importance to look at two different types of data. The first is what you did to recover. UpRight Movement wants to know your mindset, how you are breathing, how you slept, what you ate, how you managed stress, and if you used secondary recovery tools (e.g., cold plunge, massage, etc.). Next we want to measure your readiness by looking at: Outcome-Based Measurements (e.g., CNS (Central Nervous System) Finger Tap Test) Physiological-Based Measurements (e.g., HRV (Heart Rate Variability), Lab Analysis etc.) Subjective-Based Measurements (e.g., Fatigue, Daily Readiness Monitor, Daily Regeneration Monitor, Daily Readiness Index) UpRight Movement is a Force Multiplier supporting your results safely and efficiently through its precision approach, which respects the several essential...
