Sage and I traveled to Switzerland to undergo blood filtration and I wanted to share it with you guys. The procedure itself was completely painless, and every step was monitored with an EEG, heart monitor, and continuous blood pressure tracking. What fascinated me most was seeing my blood before and after the treatment. Before, many of my red blood cells were stacked together in what's called rouleaux formation, which is commonly seen in venous blood. After the filtration, they appeared much more separated, giving each cell more surface area to exchange oxygen, remove waste, and interact with its environment. It's important to remember that looking at blood under a microscope isn't a standalone diagnostic tool, and you can't judge your overall health from a single image alone. But seeing the changes firsthand was an incredible experience and sparked some fascinating conversations about blood health, circulation, and recovery. Would you ever try something like this?

Just because your blood work comes back normal doesn't mean there's nothing going on. Dr. Christina Rahm explains why symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, bloating, poor sleep, and unexplained weight changes deserve a closer look. Routine blood work doesn't test for everything, and persistent symptoms can have causes that require further investigation. The takeaway? Don't ignore what your body is telling you just because your initial labs look fine.

You guys have seen this set-up before 😂 I eat pretty much the same breakfast every day. It might be boring, but it works for me: ✔ 3 farm-fresh eggs ✔ Sourdough toast with grass-fed butter ✔ Sauerkraut, kimchi, or another fermented vegetable ✔ Organic apple slices or berries ✔ Water I focus on protein, healthy fats, fermented foods, fruit, and hydration and keep it consistent. What would you add to this breakfast?👇🏻

If you’re standing in the meat aisle wondering which package to grab, here’s exactly what I look for: organic, grass-fed, grass-finished. Grass-fed beef generally has a more favorable omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acid profile, plus complete protein and all nine essential amino acids your body needs. I also look for meat raised without added hormones and with responsible antibiotic practices. Don’t just look at the cut of meat. Look at how the animal was raised and what it was fed. Quality matters.

This will change how you think about your workout clothes. A lot of performance gear is made from polyester, nylon, and spandex. In other words, synthetic, petroleum-based fibers. Add heat, sweat, and friction, and I personally don’t want those materials sitting against my skin for hours. That’s why I’ve been switching more of my workout clothes to natural fibers like 100% organic cotton and wool. You don’t need to throw out your entire closet. Just start reading the tags and paying attention to what’s actually touching your skin.

This is a typical meal for me when I'm traveling 🙏🏻 When I’m running on less sleep and spending hours on planes, I’m even more intentional about what and when I eat. A few things I do: - Build my meals around protein first - Keep carbs lighter, especially when I’m sitting most of the day - Choose simple whole foods that are easy on my digestion - Keep meals as close to my normal eating schedule as possible - If I’m not hungry, I don’t force a meal. I’ll use fasting as a tool instead Travel already throws your body off. Your food doesn’t have to. Which of these could you try on your next trip?

Jelly Roll asked me one question that I’ll never forget... “Can you help fat people too?” I told him we weren’t going to start with workouts or extremes. We were going to start by walking to the mailbox. Then the next day, one more mailbox. And the next day, another. Watching him commit, show up, and keep promises to himself has been incredible. I’m so proud of all the work he’s done. 💪🏻

I haven’t had a cup of coffee in almost 2 weeks… This is what I use instead, and it wasn’t some “I’m quitting caffeine” decision. I just stopped needing it. What I realized is most people don’t actually need more stimulation in the morning they’re just missing the raw materials their body needs to create energy. Minerals. Amino acids. Proper hydration. If you’re low in minerals, your cells can’t hold onto water the right way. If you’re low in amino acids, your body struggles with recovery, neurotransmitters, and overall function, and when that’s off, you wake up tired… so you reach for coffee to compensate. That used to be me. I’m not saying coffee is bad... but if you feel like you need it just to function, there’s usually something deeper going on.

Most of us have forgotten that fasting is an inherent part of human biology. In just 3 days, your body can trigger autophagy, recycling old cells and replacing them with new ones. That’s what my FREE 3-Day Water Fasting Challenge (Oct 15–17) is all about. What you’ll need: – 3 liters of water daily – H2 Tabs – Perfect Aminos – Mineral salt – Bone broth of your choice I’ll walk you through every step with guests like Dr. Paul Saladino and Taylor Dukes, plus some surprise celebrity guests. Join me here:

If you’re going to copy one thing from my morning routine, make it this. I’ve tried a lot of things over the years, but this is one stack that has stayed consistent. Perfect Amino for all nine essential amino acids, Baja Gold for trace minerals, and H2Tab for molecular hydrogen. I throw it all together first thing in the morning, and that’s it. Nothing complicated, nothing that takes 20 minutes to make. Your routine doesn’t have to be perfect. Find the things that work for you and be consistent with them. 🙌🏻

A single glass of wine at a holiday party shuts down fat metabolism on the spot... your liver won’t burn fat again until the alcohol is gone. Pair that with processed food + bad sleep… and you get the “holiday 5 lbs.” Watch this new episode right here to learn how to prevent this 👇🏻

Most pregnant women are given high-dose folic acid. Many also have the MTHFR gene variant that prevents them from converting it into methylfolate. When that conversion fails, anxiety, depression, and postpartum depression rise, not fall. The FDA just approved prescription folinic acid for postpartum depression and autism. The science is shifting.

I thought I understood recovery. Then Human Garage put his hands on me and changed my flat arch, hip rotation, and a decades-old movement limitation in under 5 minutes. No cracking. No pain. No stretching. We unpack why fascia may be one of the most overlooked systems in the body, why stretching could be making things worse, and how tension patterns may be affecting more than just pain. This one challenged a lot of what I thought I knew. New episode out now, right here on X...
