Two weekends ago, Suzy and I went on a road trip.
But it wasn’t just a road trip, it was a journey.
A journey in which Suzy had a big break through with her faith.
A journey in which I witnessed here metamorph from a caterpillar to a butterfly.
This episode is me, witnessing a beautiful transformation. Enjoy!
Life Lessons from Jiu-Jitsu
It’s hard for me to believe that I have already been going to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for 4 years already.
I remember the nervous, excited energy when I made that decision.
I felt like a fish out of water for the first 3 months, at least!
I figured it would be timely to reflect on some life lessons from BJJ that I feel might benefit you in some way.
It does not matter if you know anything about jiu-jitsu or not, the lessons will be applicable.
I am fortunate enough to study some pretty interesting things.
Things that may have never been studied in conjunction with one another.
And that means, making connections that no one has ever made, at least not through the same route.
If you really stop to think about it, you do the same things or have the potential to do the same thing.
We each have our own unique ‘stack’, something I’ve talked about many times before and something I open the show with.
Sometimes, seemingly intelligent people do things that make zero sense according to logic.
You see that in fitness and nutrition all the time.
Heck, you even see it with everything going on in the world today.
I know that if you listen to today’s episode of my podcast, you’ll connect some dots and become more powerful because of it.
Way back in 2003, when I was first interning with Rutgers Football strength and conditioning, I realized that what I had been taught in college regarding weight loss was completely wrong.
Nearly all of it.
How so?
Well, a good percentage of the football guys were shredded and muscular, despite no long distance cardio nor watching their calories.
They were in their hormonal prime, having intense workouts (remember intensity is relative to the person) and eating as much food as they could get down.
And shredded.
Not that we have to be shredded (trust me, it’s overrated in my humble but accurate opinion).
In today’s episode I explain the nuances of cardio for weight loss and hopefully it will shed some light on you as to what your workouts should be doing for you.
Lessons Learned From Ten Days Without Food
It’s hard for me to believe that it has already come and gone, but my 10 day long experiment without food is behind me.
In this final podcast about my journey, I go over the main lessons I learned regarding my detox and how it applies to you.
Two of the things I talk about are knowing your why and your what.

On September 7th, I began a ten day long trek with something known as the Master Cleanse.
Funny thing is, my energy was superb, even though I didn’t eat food for ten days.
In this episode of ULYIS, my energy hits a new high as I break down common eating myths including:
>Fake Fitness Experts that say One Meal Per day is Wrong
>The fallacy of caloric deficits
>The beauty of dynamic energy
>Transmuting your energy
>Why the internal environment of your body determines how your body will change

I do believe a big part of my destiny is in helping to figure out how to help people eat right through fasting, detox and natural foods to attain purity of health.
In fact, it’s one of the things I pray for guidance with before each meal.
With that in mind, I know that I must first test the theories on myself.
This serves two purposes; one, to see how it works and to have first hand experience. And two, it’s like Roger Bannister running the 4 minute mile, at first, people thought it was impossible and after he did it, multitudes of people did it that very same year.
How?
Their beliefs in what was possible were altered.
Now, I am not saying that I am Roger Bannister, but once someone goes first, the path becomes a little easier for everyone else following, just as I’ve seen with the Panda program.
In today’s episode, I talk about my current 110-day journey without caffeine and the current detox protocol I am doing which sounds crazy, but only time will tell.
Yes, the human body is the human body, so there are those out there that don’t delineate men and women’s training.
But I feel that it is important to examine the principles of training, so you can decipher what to focus on in a workout as a busy dad.
In this episode of ULYIS, I discuss some in depth principles, but don’t worry, I keep it simple.
How Can We Live in Two Different Realities?
A part of what is so great about road trips is that you can have deeper conversations than you would have if you were just passing by each other during a busy week.
I had some great conversations with my bros a few weeks ago that I will recount in today’s episode.
It’s too important not to share and it’s all about creating reality on your terms.
The simplicity of this will leave you shocked.
In ancient Greece, the great thinkers would often fast, not for weight loss but more for higher level thought.
Fasting does a whole bunch of cool things for your brain though certain hormones.
And, it's all based in the science of survival.
Even if you don't have to lose weight, consider the other powers of fasting such as these.
Enjoy!
Your Inner Creates Your Outer
One of the reasons that I fell in love with Mind Mapping was because of the power to know yourself on a deeper level.
Think about it, we have a mind, a brain; one of the most powerful things in the known galaxy, yet many of us don’t acknowledge just how powerful it is.
In today’s episode, I cover some key questions that’ll be useful right away as long as you put them to use.
And more. Enjoy!

Aligning Mind, Body and Spirit for Weight Loss
The hardest part for most people is finding the right way of eating that works physiologically.
For most, they never get past this stage.
However, if you are fortunate enough to get past this stage, you must make sure your mind and spirit align with the path, or your transformation will forever allude you.

The other night, I had a dream about Bigfoot. And I tell you this, so that you can understand that embracing your uniqueness and weirdness is a great thing. It is where life becomes rich and colorful. If, on the other hand, you just want to fit in, then you will always have to suppress your uniqueness. You can't have it both ways. Enjoy the episode!

Two weekends ago, I spent a few hours pulling weeds.
This is something I would have despised doing just a few years ago.
Now, I relish connecting with my hands this way.
Plus, there were many lessons popping into my head as I was pulling.
I am fresh off vacation and had a few thoughts about life I wanted to share in this episode.
Your life is a manifestation of what is going on on the inside.
Your thoughts become words which become actions which become physical reality.
However, most people start with the outside and hope it affects their inside.
Do the opposite of what the majority of people do in life and you will be on the right track.
Enjoy the episode!

I was pondering how I got to where I am at the other day and how funny it is to me that I have people reaching out to me from all over the world, literally, on advice on one thing or another.
That was never my intention.

Combine that with living by my principles and here I am.
In this episode, I talk about some of the things that have gotten me to this point, use this information to best suit yourself.
Included in this episode:
