I’m an author of three books, and host of the Adversity Advantage Podcast on a crusade to inspire others to overcome adversity and become the best version of themselves. I’m a former convicted felon and drug addict who spent time in jail for “possession with intent to sell.” While locked in a cell, I slayed my personal demons, kicked addiction, and reinvented myself. As a matter of fact, I haven’t touched drugs since the day I was incarcerated in 2008.
You can't out run a bad diet. But you can do carnivore & lose 15lbs in 3 weeks like me. All fat. No diarrhea. Not water weight. Best decision ever. I feel satiated after every meal. Wo knew red meat & fat could heal the body?
Not sure what 'European' studies have been done, but they just legalized it in Germany. Spain I'm sure it's legal, or getting there anyway. UK you can get flower on prescription as long as it's vaped, for a whole range of qualifying conditions
I LOVE THIS!! I went through 3 years of upper graduate work to become psychotherapist, and never once did I learn about anything other than a brief talk about PTSD. But like he said, I never learned anything about trauma, not a single thing. Fortunately, the fourth year was practicum and internships, and that started right as the world shut down in 2020, and I ended up quitting the program. As I learned more and more about trauma, I realized I did not want to be a psychotherapist. I was in therapy for years and years and felt like I was more neurotic after. And I finally understood. We never addressed those triggers and traumas, we just talked about how to manage the symptoms. I’m so glad that more information is coming out about this!
Healthy eating starts with healthy shopping. It helps to know that the grocery industry only gives you the illusion of choice. In reality they want to control everything you eat. I only buy single ingredient foods and I do all my food preparation myself. Well, OK, I allow myself some splurges but, for the most part, I never buy processed foods or even foods with more than one ingredient. The quickest easiest way to improve your shopping health is to avoid anything in a brightly coloured package.
I am wanting to quit… I’ve been smoking for 6 years pretty heavy. I definitely feel the socially awkward effects. I choose not to smoke before going out with friends or family. Smoking weed has affected my confidence a lot. And it feels crazy because I used to be extremely confident. Giving Speeches, presentations, the whole 9. Now, I sweat even thinking about having to do that. I wana be the best version of myself.

If the person is healthy if they follow all the advice they can lose weight from 255lbs to 205 to 195 lbs in a year or in 10 months ( males ) be patient don't rush. Good luck
I was thinking the exact same thing...he spoke about food and nutrition like it's so simple..the things we're having to deal with nowadays is far different to the simple unadulterated foods our grandparents had at our disposal
Weed is dependent on the smoker , some can handle it and some can't and that's with everything in life . I've smoked for 35 years and I don't have any issues . What a load of rubbish , why don't they talk about pharmaceutical drugs that people take for anxiety. There are those in our communities who have underlying mental health issues and when they smoke weed oh! It's the weed that's the problem , no it's the person . If its not for you and you have mental health problems then give it up or don't start .
Just heard this, but it's what I've been doing the past 2 months. I fast M/W/F, then aim for 220 grams of protein the days I eat, while limiting carbs. With the goal of 220g of protein and my stomach being smaller from fasting, hitting that is a chore, and you won't have any need to eat bullshit. So I don't track calories just protein and kind track carbs. I workout 5 days a week. I've lost 17 lbs, with a noticeable change in the mirror and I'm feeling better everyday.
So true! I have figured this out by myself, but the way I deal with my "IDIOT FRIEND" is by creating a perimeter inside me, where my raw emotions (the idiot friend) can do pretty much anything they want, I don't judge them, I only try to understand. The important thing is, that perimeter is in a safe distance from the CONTROL PANEL. So my emotions simply don't control me. They can scream at the top of their lungs inside me, but I won't move or make a sound. I will simply try to understand them. The way I keep them inside the "perimeter" ( away from the CONTROL PANEL ) is by telling them with a very firm voice. I will take care of it, you have to trust me. You will have to DEAL with the problem, otherwise the emotions will lose trust in you. Be warned: "NEVER JUDGE YOUR EMOTIONS". They are like little children, they don't mean nothing bad, they are just hurt and expressing their pain.
vipassana meditation is the only sweet tool (free) plus my ongoing research...work in process I seem to be...and Dr Mate's books, videos re trauma. Anapana helps me,immediately breathing really has worked wonders...attending my first course, helped me realise and learn to breathe...i never hold my breath, I was not breathing to benefit my mind/body. I can now, support myself in anxious moments immediately with focusing with breathing. Eckhart Tolle also his work,books, awesome...oh I could renshaw ramble, but I shan't. there are Vipassana meditation centres all over our world, always no cost but I chose to donate for I felt good to offer some funds. Dhamma Dipa Hereford UK I used to attend a 10 day silent course once a year for a decade. outstanding.
I track macros granularly and weigh/measure everything whenever I fall off the wagon and put on 5-10 pounds. Within 2-3 months months I'm right back to my ideal weight. No diet, just fit the macros. I always eat mostly clean, whole foods anyway so I don't need to be on a diet to eat healthy. Tracking allows me to recalibrate portion sizes and to reduce the high calorie snacks.
I love sugar. Hersheys chocolate is the best. winco sells milk chocolate in bulk chunks. yumm. ice cream. I've eaten sugar raw, what is he talking about? I had low sugar and was feeling light headed and wanting to puke, so I ate a sugar packet and sucked on it under my tongue. Works like a charm
I had mental health issues as a child, crippling social anxiety. School was torture for me. I spent 21 years of my life like this. I started using weed regularly as a natural anti-depressant. I now have a career, my own home, and I'm raising a family of my own. I still smoke weed EVERY day without fail, and it serves me well. All things in moderation ! Coffee is harmless until you drink 1 cup per hour and it keeps you up at night, which in turn makes you irritable and less productive, impacting your life. It really pains me to see people passing off the blame to the substance. Her problem is she is an addict, for one reason or another. Don't blame weed for your problems.
One of the best fat loss hacks of all time is daily walking. To make it even easier, you spread 10-20K steps over the whole day. I'll do three 30 min walks over the first 8hrs I'm awake. Then I'll do a 15 min walk every few hrs. This gets me around 20K steps every day and it never feels like a grind. Combining this "walking snacks" strategy with full body lifting 3x per week and a high protein diet has been really effective over the years for me.
This guy and all gym coaches , can't seem to understand. We don't want to get stronger. We have uneducated people to do heavy stuff for us. We don't need to build muscle , we just want to wear clothes without looking ridiculous in them. hypertrophy shmypertrophy. Who even cares about looking like that ?
