The Pillars of long lasting change are: Mindset, Recovery, Nutrition/Hydration, and Movement. Click here to learn about the UpRight Movement Principles.

Sleep: 8 – 10 hrs. per night

Deep Wave Sleep – Physical Regeneration

  • Hormone Management – anabolic (GH) vs. stress (cortisol)
  • Tissue repair

REM Sleep – Mental Regeneration

  • Focus, alertness
  • Synapses are ingrained

Awake with the sun, and get sun exposure in the morning for 15 minutes and again later in the afternoon

Make your bedroom like a cave – dark and cool, with cell phone, computer, TV off, and asleep by 10PM

Breathing to Balance the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS)

  • While performing breathing exercises, inhale through nostrils and exhale through pursed lips.
  • To achieve high levels of performance all day, it is important to balance the ANS by breathing, sleeping and eating properly.
EVENT Breathing Tempo • IN – HOLD – EXHALE (Seconds) X = Explode
Wake Up Tired 6 – 2 – X
Wake Up Anxious 6 – 4 – 10
Periodically During Day 4 – 2 – 6
Moments of Anxiety 6 – 4 – 10
Moments of Tiredness 4 – 0 – X
Meditating 8 – 4 – 12
Before Meals 4 – 2 – 6
Bedtime 6 – 4 – 12

Primitive Postures of Restoration/Recommended Routines/Self-Massage – To Be Performed Daily

To improve muscle tissue health, the Primitive Postures of Restoration, Recommended Routines and Self-Massage should be practiced daily. This can help promote improved tissue repair, muscle length-tension relationships, physical stability, and athletic performance. Optional: Hydrotherapy: The use of water for recovery, pain relief, is used to increase circulation, decrease inflammation, calm the nervous system, decrease stress, and help with regeneration.

  • Cold Plunge: 50 – 55 °F for 6 min. for 200 lbs. or less. 15 min. for 300 lbs. or more
  • Contrast Plunge/Shower: 3 min. Cold showering alternating with 3 – 5 min. of Hot showering
  • Hot Mineral Salts Bath: 97 – 104 °F

**Avoid long, slow, distance running – it causes stiffness, overuse injuries, and decreases power.

FUEL – BUILD – PROTECT – PREVENT – HYDRATE

Protein: .5 – 1 gram per lb. of body weight (Choose Organic Pasture Raised)

  • Amino acids found in protein are the building blocks of muscle.
  • If protein is not the primary macro – nutrient, then it does not count as a quality source of protein.
  • Best choices: Turkey, Chicken, Fish, Beef, other meats, and Whole Eggs
  • Other good options: Low fat/whole fat cottage cheese and Greek yogurt
  • It is very difficult to get 1g / lb. – it is important to get a good breakfast, and plan quality snacks.

Vegetables: Quantity – 8 servings / day Variety – 5 to 6 different colors (Choose Certified Organic)

  • Great source of nutrients, antioxidants, and fiber.
  • Help to buffer blood pH – acidic environments break down tissue, basic environments are good for rebuilding tissue.

Healthy Fats:

  • Fish Oil: Men = 3g EPA + DHA / Day Women = 1g EPA + DHA / Day
  • Avocados, Olive Oil, Coconut Oil, Almonds, Walnuts, Macadamia nuts

Hydration: .5 – 1 oz. of Water per lb. of body weight

  • Water that is filtered is best. Tea and coffee do not count. Avoid liquid calories (juice, soda, alcohol, etc.)

*Time-Restricted Eating – eat majority of food during the first half of the day, and less closer to sunset.

*Avoid “White” Foods – protein and veggies are nutrient dense. “White foods” such as bread, pasta, rice, potatoes have very little nutritional value, and are converted to sugar very quickly. Minimize consumption of processed-grains, sugars and artificial sweeteners.

BONE BROTH

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF BONE BROTH?

Broth is considered to be both a food and a medicine! It’s known to heal the skin, gut, GI tract, aid in digestion or help you beat that cold you’ve been suffering from. Because broth is an extract of connective tissue, it is great for ailments affecting, joints, bones, lungs, muscle and blood. Incorporating bone broth into your established eating patterns can yield tremendous medicinal effects. A cup a day keeps the doctor away!

“Stock contains minerals in a form the body can absorb easily—not just calcium but also magnesium, phosphorus, silicon, sulphur and trace minerals. It contains the broken down material from cartilage and tendons–stuff like chondroitin sulphates and glucosamine, now sold as expensive supplements for arthritis and joint pain.” Sally Fallon, Weston A. Price Foundation

Shop Pete's Paleo For those who are short on time, and want great tasting high quality healthy meals. Buy Pete’s Paleo ready-to-eat Paleo meals!

Pete is a classically trained chef from Le Cordon Bleu and has worked in the restaurant industry for over 15 years. He is an artist and food is his medium. Given that Pete’s Paleo puts a high importance on using seasonal ingredients, Pete takes pride in ensuring that each time that specific ingredient makes an appearance on our menu during the season, it’s treated differently each time – different spices and cooking methods – so that you’re not bored and everything tastes different each week! Pete’s Paleo has direct relationships with our farms and ranches. We believe it’s important to know who is responsible for providing the food that we cook for each of you. We are cooking produce that was harvested out of the ground that day (sometimes the day before). Produce at the pinnacle of freshness means more nutrients for you! And yes of course, all of our meals are completely gluten free, dairy free, soy free and we don’t use sweeteners of any kind (even natural).
Shop Whether you’re injured, need to heal your gut fast, build muscle, need more natural sources of minerals and electrolytes in your diet, or simply want to drink, sip and cook with some the most nourishing liquid food on the face of the planet, this organic bone broth is the ultimate done-for-you solution. Creator of The Brothery bone broth and Executive Chef Lance Roll puts his 20-year diverse culinary career and education as a health and nutrition professional into each special batch of bone broth to create the healthiest broth on the face of the planet – which is then quickly frozen and shipped to your door for the ultimate, easy bone broth experience.

Each batch of flavorful, nourishing, bone-growing, muscle-building and body and gut-healing organic bone broth from The Brothery is made in small batches using locally-grown, organic produce and free-range, humanely-raised meats and poultry – so you get no harmful hormones or toxins in your nourishing broth.

All-natural collagen source

Kettle & Fire bone broth is made with bones from organically raised chickens or cattle, then slow simmered for a solid 24 hours with organic vegetables, sea salt and herbs. All that simmer-time extracts insane amounts of protein, not to mention glycine, glucosamine, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium. That’s a long list of goodness, all of which your body converts into energy, stronger muscles, and a more effective immune system. Bone broth is also an amazing source of collagen, which is great for your skin, hair, nails and bones.

Shop US Wellness Meats Founded by lifelong farmer John Wood, U.S. Wellness Meats grew out of John’s realization that there was a unique way of raising cattle for a growing niche of U.S. consumers who were beginning to understand the health benefits of CLA and omega-3s from free-range meat. A fifth-generation farmer, John was used to thinking like his ancestors and his neighbors when it came to raising animals. In a nutshell, this old method meant growing the animal on pasture, feeding them grain in confinement for the final four months, and then selling them off to a big animal processor when it was time for them to be harvested. But with a little experimentation, he discovered the old method might not be the only method. In 1997, 1998 and 1999, John raised animals on a 100% forage diet and had the proof he needed: there was another way to get tender and exquisite-tasting beef, lamb, bison, goat and dairy products. One of the key secrets of the new model? Keeping the best quality forage in front of animals on a daily basis with a rotation grazing sequence. This traditional method mimics how buffalo grazed in North America for centuries, and it is the critical difference between 21st-century grass-fed and the old 1950’s model.

WellnessFX BASELINE: Improve What You Can Measure

WellnessFX Baseline

Our flagship Baseline package empowers you to understand and improve your underlying health by combining advanced biomarker analysis with an intuitive health dashboard to track your results. Include a 20-minute nutritionist consultation for personalized recommendations you can implement immediately. 

Notable Markers

Vitamin D:

Over 50% of people are deficient in vitamin D, which can hinder calcium absorption, compromise the immune system and increase the risk for chronic diseases such as heart disease and cancer.

HbA1c:

Considered one of the best indicators for pre-diabetes, HbA1c measures your average blood sugar over the last few months, instead of the last few days.

ApoB:

Apolipoprotein B is the protein in bad LDL cholesterol that helps particles bind to and clog blood vessels. Apo B increases this clogging, so your Apo B level may be a better indicator of cardiovascular risk than even LDL cholesterol.

WellnessFX PREMIUM: The Deluxe Deep Dive

WellnessFX Premium

WellnessFX Premium, our most comprehensive and exclusive diagnostic package yet, gives you VIP-level access to every biomarker we offer, including Performance, Advanced Heart Health, Advanced Thyroid, Omegas, systemic inflammation, and male/female complete reproductive health hormones.* Add a 40-minute consultation with a certified physician for an in-depth assessment of what’s happening inside your body, including concierge-level recommendations for optimizing your unique biochemistry. 

Notable Markers

Omega-3 Fatty Acids:

Higher levels of omega-3s are reported to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, and depression.

Free T4:

Going beyond TSH, this test indicates abnormal levels of free thyroxine in the bloodstream, which can have a negative effect on the body’s function.

Fibrinogen:

A protein produced by the liver, fibrinogen helps stop bleeding by promoting clotting in the blood. However, increased levels of fibrinogen can indicate inflammation and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.

This extensive package of women’s health biomarkers is available outside of a doctor’s office for less than you’d pay at a specialty clinic. Not ready for baby?

Notable Markers

Progesterone:

Progesterone is primarily a female sex hormone that, like other hormones, influences mood, fertility, and metabolism.

Folate:

This is an essential vitamin in the production of many cells, including red and white blood cells. Healthy folate levels support nerve function, bone and brain health, and helps prevent serious birth defects of the spinal cord and brain.

Ferritin:

Ferritin is an important protein that binds to iron before its used to make new red blood cells. The amount of ferritin in the blood shows how much iron is stored in the body; too much is a sign of inflammation and disease, too little suggest iron deficiency.

WellnessFX ADVANCED HEART HEALTH: Assess Your Cardiovascular Health

WellnessFX Advanced Heart

We now offer an even deeper look into your overall heart health: Our new Advanced Heart Health specialty package. This comprehensive deep dive includes Cardio IQ™ Lipoprotein Profile and a series of advanced lipid and inflammatory diagnostics. Not only will you see all particle sizes and counts, but you’ll get a basic overview of other cardiovascular health indicators including fatty acids, inflammation, and more.

Why is this important?

Knowing total LDL only shows part of the picture. When it comes to cardiovascular risk, higher numbers of smaller, more dense particles increase your cardiovascular risk, compared to lower numbers of larger, less dense particles. Therefore, those with patterns of higher counts of smaller particles have a more concerning lipoprotein profile than those with less particles with greater size.

Notable Markers

Cardio IQ™ Lipoprotein Profile:

This panel identifies various lipid particle numbers and sizes through ion mobility fractionation. Ion mobility offers the only direct measurement of lipoprotein particle size and number.

Notable Markers

Glucose:

A blood glucose test measures the amount of glucose, or sugar, in the blood. While glucose is the primary source of the body’s energy, chronically elevated levels can lead to diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone):

The most common and officially recognized test to evaluate your thyroid. This overall measure of thyroid stimulation measures imbalances that could affect metabolism, weight, mood and temperature control.

Notable Markers

Testosterone:

Testosterone deficiency has numerous effects on muscle growth, fat storage, mood and libido.

Magnesium:

Magnesium is required for muscle contraction, energy use, protein production, enzyme function and bone strength, but is not made by the body itself.

Folate:

Folate deficiency can hinder cellular and tissue development and can affect several aspects of performance, like decreased energy.

IGF-1:

IGF-1 encourages the body to build muscle and burn fat. It plays a key role in promoting and maintaining muscle mass and brain function.

LEGACY: 

What the All Blacks Can Teach Us About the Business of Life

By John Kerr

The All Blacks are the world’s most successful sporting outfit, undefeated in over 75% of their international matches over the last 100 years. What is the secret of their success? And what can we – as individuals, companies and teams – learn from them?

A values-based, purpose driven culture is a foundation of the All Blacks’ approach and sustained success… In fact, in answer to the question, “What is the All Blacks’ competitive advantage?” key is the ability to manage their culture and central narrative by attaching the players” personal meanings to a higher purpose. It is the identity of the of the team that matters – not so much what the All Blacks do, but who they are, what they stand for, and why they exist.”

Revealing the winning secrets of the All Blacks, LEGACY tackles a number of fundamental issues facing leaders in all fields: How do you create a high performance culture? How do you maintain world-class standards, day after day, week after week, year after year? How do you handle pressure? What is the secret of sustained success? How do you deal with the pressure? And what do you leave behind you after you’re gone? What’s your legacy?

The 15 Lessons in LEGACY are:

  1. Sweep the Sheds: Never be too big to do the small things that need to be done
  2. Go for the Gap: When you’re on top of your game, change your game
  3. Play with Purpose: Ask “Why?”
  4. Pass the Ball: Leaders create leaders
  5. Create a Learning Environment: Leaders are teachers
  6. No Dickheads: Follow the spearhead
  7. Embrace Expectations: Aim for the highest cloud
  8. Train to Win: Practice under pressure
  9. Keep a Blue Head: Control your attention
  10. Know Thyself: Keep it real
  11. Sacrifice: Find something you would die for and give your life to it
  12. Invent a Language: Sing your world into existence
  13. Ritualize to Actualize: Create a culture
  14. Be a Good Ancestor: Plant trees you’ll never see
  15. Write Your Legacy: This is your time

In LEGACY, best-selling author James Kerr goes deep into the heart of the world’s most successful sporting team, the legendary All Blacks of New Zealand, to reveal 15 powerful and practical lessons for leadership and the business of life.
