Boost Health: Wellness Balance, Fitness, Plant-based Diet, Biohacking, Weight Training

This another one that I really recommend listening to the podcast episode as there was too much great stuff to capture in blog form.  Click below to listen on your favorite podcast app.  Below is an outline of what we cover. A Virtual Wellness Community I wrote the outline for […]

I am excited as I just had Dr. Chris Zaino join me on Episode 18 of The BOOST Health Podcast!  If you normally just read the blog, you will want to tune in for this episode for sure.  There was too much great content to capture in blog form. If you […]

I am going to have some professional pictures taken for BOOST Health later this month. This may come as a surprise but I may not have my shirt on in some of them. Those of you who follow myboosthealth on Instagram and Facebook probably know that is a joke! The fact is […]

I just got done putting some KT tape on my left knee.  It is pretty sore and I am not exactly certain what the culprit is. There is not a lot of research backing the use of these therapeutic tapes but there is some evidence of increased proprioception.  I feel […]

(Left to Right) Bo Kratz, Paul Sandburg, Sheel Kohli More info on SIRs      More info on Dragons For those of you who just read the blog version of each episode…this is one where you really should listen to the podcast!  There was just too much good discussion to […]

Since I started this plant-based adventure, I have had lots of requests to share my daily nutrition plan and recipes that I enjoy. Those of you who have been following along with the BOOST Health Blog and Podcast, are probably aware that I have been on a plant-based nutrition plan […]

I love listening to music when I exercise if I am by myself.  I also really enjoy chatting with a buddy when riding a bike or going on a run.  I am not a fan, however, of exercising in silence.  I have mentioned previously that inside my brain is a […]

It is difficult, but I have decided I don’t want to be so special. I want to be more generalized. I don’t want to be a triathlete, playground gymnast, cyclist, cross-fitter, obstacle course dude, yogi, or gym rat. I think I will just dabble a little in each. What do […]

Confession I have a confession. I panic when I am training sometimes. It is a bit taboo for athletes, even amateurs like myself, to admit to weakness in their mental toughness. For some reason it is no big deal to talk about any issue below the neck, like a muscle […]

Partnering with Cuore I am very excited to have Yann Kai Oh with me today from Cuore. She has been helping me immensely the last few months as we have worked on strategy and design for the BOOST Health Performance Apparel line that is now live at the website shop. […]

It has been almost exactly one year since I put my foam rollers in the corner of my home gym to collect dust.  In March of 2017 I listened to an episode of the Ben Greenfield Fitness Podcast and Jacob Schoen, of SHIFT Sport and Wellness, was a guest.  They discussed […]

I will admit I get excited about lots of “P words”. Processes, procedures, protocols, project management, and productivity are all wonderful! I like spreadsheets, organization, order, and systems.  I like things I can control and improve with knowledge and practice.  I get a little restless when things are out of […]

Defining the Wellness Dimensions Finding wellness balance is something I talk about a lot here at Boost Health.  It is certainly somewhat intangible and most definitely very individualistic.  Since it is so individualistic you can’t really put hard numbers in areas of wellness for folks to achieve, but we can […]

Food Journaling Keeping a food journal is one of the simplest, yet most powerful, methods of gaining insight to your overall health.  If done properly, it can uncover nutrition habits that may be negatively affecting your health, or possibly point to a particular food or tactic that is working in […]

Maybe Just A Little Passionate Those who have taken my fitness classes, done personal training with me, or attended some of my wellness presentations, are already aware how passionate I am about proper warm up.  The passion comes from my desire to rid society of the incorrect assumption that static […]

I Did Not Hear You Sometimes I don’t listen to my body.  Sometimes I push through pain that I shouldn’t push through to get that last rep done in the weight room or finish that last mile on a run.  Sometimes I finish a big workout and don’t save time […]

Split or Full? Is full body strength training or split muscle group strength training better?  This is a question as old as time, or at least as old as body building.  If strength training is a new concept for you than these 2 different training methodologies are probably pretty foreign, […]

            Fear of the Unknown “I feel like I have a basketball in my stomach”, I said to my friend Tanner as we jogged down the road.  We were on the second run of a bike, run, bike, run, double brick session.  It was the […]

The Game I was sitting at a table in a meeting room with four other work colleagues and we were tearing our hair out trying to solve a problem.  It was not a job related issue though and we were not working as a team.  Instead, we were individually trying […]
