Hey Fitlifer – If you want to lose weight, gain muscle, increase energy levels, reduce stress or just generally look and feel healthier you’ve come to the right place.
Tanning Mom

I just saw the tanning mom interview and it got me thinking. How can I help my friends and family against the suns harmful rays? Well, just as I as thinking this, I got a text from my friend AJ Yager. (He’s a ginger) like many gingers when summer comes they are stocking up on sunblock, aloe Vera and a few large umbrellas to carry in the day light. Which I often mistake for vampires. These people must get laid a lot. lol. Just kidding Yager. Yager, is actually paddle boarding 21 miles across the river in Austin TX, in the battle against cancer. You can support him here. <—
Aj's text
Well, as many of you Fitlifer’s know I’m all about natural dietary ways to protect you. Why put lotion and ointments on your body when they are laced with 280 chemicals. Instead, you can get certain nutrients in your diet that will assist you in your protection.
If my ginger friend AJ has questions, I’m sure there are a lot of you reading this that would love to know. Further more… if you are reading this you are probably a person that really cares for their family and friends and only want the best for them. You don’t want to end up like the tanning mom. Isn’t that crazy.
When you are trying to solve a complex problem you can often quite your mind and look to nature for the answer. The answer is rarely if ever found in the contemplation of covering something up (sun block)… the truth is always found from within.
Observe the pink flamingo. It spends most if not all of it’s time in some of the most tropical places on the planet. It’s diet consists of blue-green and red algae, diatoms. The super-antioxidant astaxanthin is found in algae, the organisms that eat it, and the organisms that eat those organisms. It has been getting some attention as an “internal sunscreen.” Does it stack up? Well, here’s a study on isolated human skin cells, in which astaxanthin definitely protects against UVA damage. Slow motion photography shows that this awesome bird filters water through their bill 20 times in 1 second to get the food. (I thought using my juicer was a efficient)
Lycopene, is a famous caroteniod found in tomatoes, has been shown to protect humans against sun damage. Remember, cooked tomatoes actually gives you more of the goods then raw or juiced tomatoes.
One of my favorite vitamins has shown that supplementing it increases tolerance and protection against the sun. This recent study seems to confirm that vitamin D is awesome. It’s funny how nature works. Getting sun, can actually protect you against it.
Sun Block
Become friends with my buddy Mr. Walnut and Ms. Flax seed. They have a crush on each-other but Ms. Flax seed is nervous to bring Mr. Walnut into the family. Father Flax has a “little seedling mentality.” Getting past the hesitancy of the relationship these two are very high in Omega 3’s.
Green tea has a ton of antioxidants. If you observe some of the oldest cultures on earth they love their tea. It’s a smart move. How it works isn’t fully understood but we do know that the polyphenols inhibit the development of skin tumors by controlling inflammation and preventing DNA damage. Tropical green tea extracts applied to the skin.
Hopefully you found these ninja tricks helpful. Next time you are in the sun or a tanning bed, you can put down the umbrella and worry less about getting burnt.
Feel free to share this post with your friends and family to help protect them as well.

My first client Kent Clothier called and wanted a system to getting radical results in the most effective way possible. I knew it had to be easy and systematic.
If it could be built into a system he could do it. This goes for all entrepreneurs.
Check out his transformation here <–
The secret to our success is to have laser sharp focus. When I set my clients up with a program it’s setup like a successful business from the start. We develop ways to outsource as much of the work as possible. For example, finding a personal chef or a personal trainer that works well with you ensuring you get the maximum results.
Otherwise your health much like a new business will fail, because you will lose passion and become bored. Fitness and health has to be fun and you have to get results right away. Most successful CEO’s and entrepreneurs I work with need to almost see results in real time. It’s almost obsessive. Which is why, when I create an individualized plan for them it supercharges their fat loss and health goals.
Body Hack
How can entrepreneurs or us “busy people” fit exercise in their life and not have to give up anything?
(I’m going to let you in on a little secret) I’m still tempted by the infomercial guy’s promise of 7 minutes to get abs. How good does that sound? It doesn’t work that way…
Hours and hours of trial and error desperately searching for answers and failing more than succeeding… I have seven body hacks that will get you in the best shape of your life with the…
Least amount of time
Low cost, you don’t need a gym
Little if any motivation to complete
7 Body Hacks
1. First thing in the AM. Take a cold shower. You’re probably thinking I’m crazy for bringing this up. It not only wakes you up immediately, thus letting you skip the coffee, but it also speeds up your metabolism. You feel like you conquered something first thing in the am… building up a rampage of motivation to get more stuff done.
2. Eat low-glycemic foods, like yogurt or an apple, before bedtime. This bedtime snack can combat morning fatigue and headaches from low blood sugar through the night. Adding 1-2 tablespoons of flaxseed oil to the bedtime snack can also help decrease fatigue and increase cel repair. I usually eat 3 brazil nuts before bed to boost my testosterone as well. Plus the saturated fat helps with REM sleep. This is the type of sleep you need for your body to repair effectively.
3. I’ve also been experimenting with an ice bath before bed and then a little bit of melatonin to really knock me out. You will feel like you’ve been hit with an elephant tranquilizer. (I learned this little tip from my friend Tim Ferris.) If you are into understanding your dreams like I am you could even add a little Kava with the melatonin. (Crazy Lucid Dreams.)
4. Get a metabolic type test or a full metabolic blood panel. See how your body processes different types of food. Many of my clients have a different metabolic type to the way they have been eating their whole lives… this can cause chaos inside your body and lots of inflammation in your cells, causing weight gain and a myriad of other health problems.
Healthy Cell
5. Juice! If you find yourself always hungry for no reason you could be starving from a nutrient perspective. Eating a diet high in macro foods leaves little room for micro foods… these are the foods your cells need the most to stay healthy and running effectively. If you give your cells what they need your body will begin to heal and eventually you will get in the best shape internally and externally. Health always starts within. You can get more info for our program here. <—
6. Learn to like nuts. Eating almonds in between each meal will keep your body from going into fat storing state and keep your metabolism running all day.
7. Heat it up: Eat spicy food. I love a diet high in red chili peppers and jalapeño. Research has shown that they raise your metabolism by 30-40 percent for up to 3 hours after eating them.
If I could offer up one piece of advice it would be: to start slowly. Start one of these things and do it for 2 weeks. IF you like the results move onto the next one, this will help you with the formation of a new habit and yield optimal results.

When I first met with him just over 90 days ago, I knew this was going to be one kick ass transformation. Tim, at the age of 47 knew that beyond a shadow of a doubt that he was going to get in the best shape of his life.
I asked him if he wanted to do it to look like he was on the cover of a Mens health magazine…
His response: he saw “that” as a side benefit.
He wanted more energy.
He wanted to feel better.
More alert and awake throught-out the day.
He wanted to lead by example.
We talked about how much these 90 days would change his life forever.
Like many successful entrepreneurs Tim sacrificed his health for the cashola.
“At the end of the day, the most important thing is your health… you could have all the money in the world but if you don’t have your health… you have nothing!” – Tim Taylor
1) Tim did the Alpha Reset and lost 8 pounds of gut bloat in the first week. After the reset he flushed out a lot of the toxins (Xenoestrogens) that were in his body, causing inflammation and fat storage in his cells to dissipate. He turned his body from a fat storing machine into a “fat burning” machine.
2) After the DNA test we were able to figure out that Tim is a carb reducer. Meaning when he eats simple carbs his body doesn’t oxidise the food like protein. We slowly eliminated these types of carbs and started supplementing his diet with more vegetables.
3) We tested a multitude of different workouts and strategies for optimum results and came to the conclusion that the best types of workouts for Tim was mid level cardio in the AM and strength training in the afternoon.
Vision – you have to have vision for whatever you set out to do. An unwavering laser sharp focus in the attainment of your ideal.
Passion – If you are not excited about your vision there is a good chance that you will not stick with it and you will stop doing it. You gotta wake up excited to make things happen!
Massive Action – This is the part where most people fail. They are to busy playing analysis paralysis… Frozen by too many options. Tim, is a firm believer in starting “RIGHT NOW.”
You can tell that he is a man of his word. What’s the saying? “A picture is worth a THOUSAND words”?
Check out Tim’s before and after pic….
Legacy Club Challenge
As Tim’s coach through-out this, it is an honor and a privilege to say that this has been one of the best transformations I’ve been a part of.
Proud of you Tim. To find more information on Tim (Click Here)

Eat to Your Heart’s Content
With heart disease the number one killer of both men and women in this country, you would think a cure that could dramatically reduce these deaths would be big news. And yet the most effective remedy is so simple that most people can’t seem to believe it works. “In traditional societies, where people don’t eat processed foods, heart disease is rare,” says cardiologist Arthur Agatston, MD, author of The South Beach Wake-Up Call. “If you start with a healthy diet in childhood, heart attacks are almost completely preventable.”
Rx Effect: Reduce blood pressure, cholesterol, and heart failure
The Evidence: Oranges contain a pharmacy’s worth of salves for the heart. The soluble fiber pectin 
acts like a giant sponge, sopping up cholesterol in food and blocking its absorption—just like a class of drugs known as bile acid sequestrants. And the potassium in oranges helps counterbalance salt, keeping blood pressure under control. But new research shows something even more startling: Citrus pectin helps neutralize a protein called galectin-3 that causes scarring of heart tissue, leading to congestive heart failure–a condition that is often difficult to treat with drugs. “Twenty percent of Americans over 50 have high galectin-3,” says Pieter Muntendam, MD, CEO of BG Medicine in Waltham, MA. “A 2009 study showed that a diet high in fruits and vegetables decreased the risk of heart failure by 37%.”
Try: Pectin is contained in the pulp and pith. You’ll get more of it in juice with pulp. Or better yet, eat your oranges.
Rx Effect: Prevents atherosclerosis
The Evidence: Your mom was right: You need to consume your dark leafy greens. “Kale has everything you would want in a superfood,” says Joel Fuhrman, MD, the author of the bestseller Eat to Live, who uses diet and exercise to help patients reverse their cardiovascular disease. For starters, kale boasts a bumper crop of heart-healthy antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, folate, potassium, and vitamin E. It’s also rich in lutein, which correlated in the Los Angeles Atherosclerosis Study with protection against early atherosclerosis. Kale even contains an unusual compound, glucoraphanin, that activates a special protective protein called Nrf2. “It creates a sort of Teflon coating in your arteries to keep plaque from adhering,” says Dr. Fuhrman.
Try: For a snack, try Brad’s Raw Leafy Kale—actual kale that is dehydrated, then coated with ground cashews, sunflower seeds, lemon juice, and garlic.
Rx Effect: Reduces blood pressure and plaque
The Evidence: Research suggests that, much like the ACE inhibitor drugs that fight high blood pressure, garlic ratchets down an enzyme called angiotensin, which constricts blood vessels. Though the effect is modest compared with medications, garlic seems to have a significant impact on the buildup of plaque. In three randomized trials, Matthew Budoff, MD, professor of medicine at UCLA, found that plaque progression slowed by more than 50% in people taking garlic extract, compared with the non–vampire slayers—”and the nongarlic group was on standard drugs,” he says.
Try: The trials used 250 mg tablets of Kyolic aged garlic extract to standardize the dose. “But it’s always better to eat the real food,” says Gayl Canfield, PhD, RD, director of nutrition at Pritikin Longevity Center in Miami.
Rx Effect: Boosts HDL, reduces unwanted clotting
The Evidence: Any alcohol nudges up HDL, the “good” cholesterol that helps prevent plaque. But red wine may offer additional benefits, says John Folts, PhD, professor emeritus of cardiovascular medicine and nutrition at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. “The key is not resveratrol—you would need 16 bottles a day,” he says. Instead, compounds called polyphenols help keep blood vessels flexible and reduce the risk of unwanted clotting. “They’re nearly as effective as aspirin,” he claims. But note: More than one glass of vino a day ups the risk of breast cancer for women, and chronic heavy drinking damages the heart, so this is a case where more is not better.
Try: Dark beer such as Guinness stout delivers many of the same beneficial polyphenols.
Rx Effect: Reduces blood pressure
The Evidence: The Kuna Indians off the coast of Panama have enviably low blood pressure—and unlike the rest of us, they don’t develop hypertension as they age. When Harvard cardiologist Norman Hollenberg, MD, set out to unravel their secret, he assumed they carried some rare genetic trait. Instead he found they drink enormous quantities of minimally processed cocoa. It’s rich in compounds called flavanols, which improve blood vessel flexibility. We can all get them from chocolate—a few squares a day. Dark chocolate is likely to have more, because it starts with a higher cocoa content—but that’s no guarantee, since different processing methods can destroy them.
Try: Dove Dark has been shown to have high levels of flavanols.
Rx Effect: Lower triglycerides, raise HDL
The Evidence: The omega-3 fatty acids in cold-water fish are crucial for heart health, and sardines have among the highest levels. These “good fats” lower harmful triglycerides, raise protective HDL, reduce potentially fatal heart arrhythmias, and tamp down inflammation. It’s inflammation that ultimately destabilizes plaque, causing it to rupture and produce a heart-attack-inducing clot. Though you can get omega-3s from plant sources such as flaxseed, the “long chain” omega-3s in fish are far more powerful. A large Danish study last year in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found a 38% reduction in ischemic heart disease among women who consumed the most.
Try: Wild Planet sells wild sardines in extra virgin olive oil with lemon.
Rx Effect: Reduce blood pressure
The Evidence: One international study followed 12,763 people in the United States, Japan, and six European countries for 25 years. When the results were tallied, legumes—such as lentils—were associated with an 82% reduction in the risk of death
from heart disease. The reasons include not only lean vegetable protein and fiber but also folate, magnesium, and potassium. George Mateljan, the author of The World’s Healthiest Foods, calls magnesium “nature’s own calcium channel blocker”—a type of drug that fights hypertension. And by counterbalancing salt, potassium is crucial for keeping blood pressure under control.
Try: TruRoots’s new Sprouted Lentil Trio cooks in just 5 to 7 minutes.
Rx Effect: Reduce LDL and fatal arrhythmias
The Evidence: ”You don’t have to be miserable to bring your cholesterol down,” says David Jenkins, MD, PhD, professor of medicine and nutritional sciences at the University of Toronto. The plant sterols in almonds reduce the absorption of cholesterol from the diet, while the unsaturated oils encourage the liver to make less LDL and more “good” HDL. When Dr. Jenkins gave patients a vegetarian diet including almonds (along with other cholesterol-lowering foods, such as lentils, eggplant, and soy) for a month, he found LDL reductions of 28.6%—comparable to those on 20 mg of lovastatin (Mevacor). Just 22 almonds a day will do. Another study found major declines in fatal arrhythmias with 2 servings of nuts a week.
Try: Don’t limit yourself to almonds. Walnuts, pistachios, and peanuts are also great.
Rx Effect: Reduce atherosclerosis
The Evidence: Bringing down LDL is important, but so is preventing the oxidation of that cholesterol. When LDL is 
oxidized, it tends to get stuck in arterial walls, initiating the formation of plaque. But Michael Aviram, DSc, professor of biochemistry at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa, found that pomegranate juice, with its unique antioxidants, not only blocked the progression of plaque, but actually reversed some of the buildup when patients drank 8 ounces a day for a year. How does it do this? In later studies, Dr. Aviram learned that pomegranates activate an enzyme that breaks down oxidized cholesterol.
Try: For those who love pomegranates but not the messy job of cracking them open, Pom Wonderful now does the work for you. Look for the fruit-covered seeds (or “arils”) in clear plastic cups under the brand name Pom Poms.
Unfortunately, you won’t disease-proof your heart by simply adding chocolate, wine, and nuts to a diet full of doughnuts and bacon. Groundbreaking new studies explain why.
For years, government panels told us that the main villain in heart disease was the saturated fat in meat and dairy. We did the logical thing and cut down on total fat while upping refined carbs.
Bad move. Research now shows that the sugar and refined flour in our bagels, pizzas, cookies, and sodas are even more problematic. Stripped of fiber (and other nutrients), these unhealthy carbs zip-line through the digestive tract and into the bloodstream, where they deliver a triple dose of heart damage—raising harmful triglycerides, lowering protective HDL, and raising blood pressure.
But saturated fat isn’t off the hook. Some studies have appeared to exonerate it—but only because people in these studies replaced the bad fat in their diets with harmful carbs. “When you eat good fats instead of bad ones, cardiac risk goes down,” says Harvard’s Walter Willett, MD. So treat cheese as dessert, not the main course, and favor lean meat such as grass-fed bison.

The ancient Greeks were one of the first people to recognize this oil for its health benefits and medicinal qualities. It is known to be a potent antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, and antiparasitic oil that can reduce pain and inflammation and effectively fight off infections.
Some of the specific benefits of Oil of Oregano are:
Oil of Oregano can be applied directly onto the skin to treat itches, skin infections, and irritated gums, but only if it has been diluted. Always follow the instructions on your particular bottle before applying topically onto the skin, since highly concentrated oils may first need to be mixed with Olive Oil or Coconut Oil before application (usually one teaspoon of Olive Oil or Coconut Oil per one drop of Oil of Oregano).
The high concentrations of thymol and carvacrol in Oil of Oregano have been shown to calm upset stomachs and aid digestion. Therefore, a quick home remedy for mild indigestion is to drink a glass of milk or juice that is mixed with 2 or 3 drops of the oil.
Oil of Oregano is a wonderful natural remedy for sinus congestion. A common solution is to add 3 drops of the oil into a glass of juice and drink this mixture daily for 3 to 5 days.
Oil of Oregano is an excellent early defense mechanism when you feel a cold or sore throat coming on. Simply take 3 drops of the oil once per day (you can mix it into a glass of orange juice) and you should notice results within a few hours. Repeat this once per day for up to 5 days until the symptoms are gone.
While Oil of Oregano has many benefits, there are a few possible side effects:
Oil of Oregano can be found in almost any natural health or nutrition store, or from online retailers such as Amazon.com (see below). It is important to make sure that it is derived from Origanum Vulgare, and that the carvacrol concentration is at least 70%.

Drew is on the beach visualizing the workout before it starts. This is important to do. When we see the workout in our mind first it allows us to have more focus and control when going through it. Try it, and report back to us… let us know how it works or if you are already doing it…
Part of the ab workout you will see when you watch the video. You can either do it with your arms upright like this, I would suggest holding a plank position with your elbows on the ground though.
Side Shuffle Push ups will get your heart rate jacked! For added intensity add a box jump in between. Only the leapers survive.
Here is the workout:
3 rounds of:
* 1 200 meter sprints
*20 mountain climbers
*20 leap frogs
*20 jump lunges
*10 shuffle push-ups
*20 Pistol Squats
*Bounding Lunges
*20 ice skaters
Conclude workout a core workout:
*Get a partner
*remain in plank position
* have your partner do 10 push-ups off you and switch
*Make sure you have the same body weight and size as your partner to get maximum results.
Also, for added core add some Spiderman Push Ups…
Another metabolic exercise to get the heart rate up. These “Bounding Lunges” will do the trick.
Remember, the most important part of any workout is to have FUN! If you are not having fun then you might as well not be doing it. That is our motto at FitLife and it seems to be working well.
Are you ready for the feature presentation?
