ADVICE

Tailor Diets to Your Goals

Use diet strategies based on your current goal, like ketogenic for better cognitive performance.
Experiment with diets for a week or two to notice effects and adjust accordingly.

INSIGHT

Cutting Calories + High Activity Backfires

Cutting calories drastically while increasing intense activity sends excess stress signals to your body.
This leads to plateaus and muscle loss, sabotaging fat loss and health progress.

ADVICE

Sleep is Ultimate Recovery Tool

Prioritize good, consistent sleep to maximize recovery and body adaptation.
Use tools like temperature-controlled beds to enhance sleep quality and overall performance.
