Falling Down

We all fall down in life. Figuratively and literally.

BMX has taught me to always get up and try again.

This becomes subconscious when the DESIRE to succeed is so strong that you don’t see “failure” as an opportunity to quit, rather it becomes an opportunity to learn and grow.

Hitting the ground like this hurts but the feeling of fulfillment and satisfaction for accomplishing the goal you set out for is a like no other.

The cool part about non physical times we “fall down” is that they don’t physically harm us.

I’ve proven to myself every day I’m strong enough to pick myself up and keep at it for the life I envision, no matter how much it hurts.

Are you proving yourself?

Identity

I feared “losing” my identity by choosing to retire from BMX competition for a new passion that consumed me.

I still made the decision to do so and battled for a while until about 6 months ago when I accepted my truth and that who I chose to be every day in that single moment was my identity.

Not my past!

Our past doesn’t define us, it molds us.

It teaches us and helps us get to where we are today.

It gives up experience and perspective.

Today, I’ve dedicated my life to serving others.

My identity is love, purpose, and serving.

What’s your mindset?

Gratitude = Abundance

At a loss for words for receiving so much love and gratitude from everyone here at @justpruvit KetoKademy in Orlando, Florida!

You guys are amazing and I’m beyond grateful for the response after sharing my life with all of you.

I can’t stress enough the importance of perspective and how gratitude leads to abundance in our lives.

Love you all!

We NEED Adversity

3 years ago I got dropped from my bike sponsor halfway through ACL recovery with no notice.

That was my main source of income that I risked my life to obtain and represent the brand. It was $600/month but it paid my rent, utilities, and phone bill.

Thankfully, my mom taught me how to save and budget from an early age so I was fine. Fueled by spite, anger and rejection, I worked my butt off and placed top 3 in my first contest back.

That is one of many adversities I’ve used for my advantage.

It fueled my drive for success and challenged me to think of ways to replace that $600/month.

It put me on a new path where that’s not even 1/10 of my income per month today. I find the reason I live with so much abundance and success today is that I’m 100% on PURPOSE to serve and support.

I realize all the “problems” and “bad things happening to me” back then was a result of my choices in life and not having accountability for my reality.

Also, because I was solely on self and not grateful for the “little” I had, which could be seen as “much” to others.

Point of this story is to share how necessary adversity is for us to grow and progress past our current reality. Not just financially, but spiritually, personally, creatively, etc.

What adversity have you experienced and used for your?

NO Hacks or Shortcuts

When someone starts their keto journey with me, we focus on simplicity: begin with whole foods, cut out the starches, sugars, alcohol, grains and processed food, add in high levels and variety of fats, and make sure to salt food and use electrolytes!

My favorite salt is @redmondrealsalt and my favorite electrolyte supplement thus far is @drinklmnt.

When people look for hacks, shortcuts and quick fixes, they run into problems because they overlook simple steps mentioned above.

My role is to guide my clients, and share with all of you, how to implement e ketogenic diet/lifestyle the most efficient, effective, and healthy way possible.

Subconscious Programming

I hear “fine” more times than not when I ask others how they are doing.

I love asking “what would it take to feel GREAT and how would that improve all aspects of your life?”

Ask @kerwinrae how he feels and he’ll say “UNSTOPPABLE”.

WHY?

Because, one, he truly feels that and, two, it’s a subconscious tool called “subconscious programming” that combats external suggestions to our subconscious thinking.

What’s important to remember is that all of our CHOICES are incredibly powerful and that includes choices in food, actions, thoughts, words, and beliefs.

When you audit your choices, where do you feel you NEED to become more conciliatory and make some changes?

“No”

Hearing “no” has always motivated to prove others wrong and that served me well most my life.

I find, today, that I’m motivated by my purpose, my vision and gratitude for my life and all that’s in it.

This new path has led me to surrounding myself with those that believe in what I believe and support me 100%.

What have you been told can’t be obtained but you don’t care because you’re going to make it happen anyways?

Steak Dinner

@jciake crushed dinner last night.

Steak from @butcher_box and a Brussels sprout salad she made with shredded Brussels, sun dried tomatoes and cherry tomatoes, bacon, ranch, and some spices / @redmondrealsalt.

An example of how easy and delicious a keto aligned meal can be while implementing a ketogenic strategy to improve your brains health and performance while also improving body composition, energy levels, and disease risk.

K2

2 years ago I hopped on a plane, flew across the country and walked into a hotel room in Santa Monica, California to record one of the first episodes of the “Unstoppable” podcast with @kerwinrae and that’s when I met @mattiasholmbom.

2 years later, Mattias gave me a tour of Kerwin’s office and showed me the podcast studio.

This was after attending Kerwin’s “Nail It & Scale It” 3-day workshop on how to grow your business and fulfill your purpose even further with social media.

Crazy what can come from non-stop action, a belief, and staying in integrity with you purpose every step of the way.

The fact I got to meet these two guys and record a podcast was an honor in itself. To be invited to Kerwin’s event as a guest, bring 2 friends to tag along, and get a tour of the office was a whole other level.

It meant the world to me to hang out with both @mattiasholmbom and @kerwinrae and to be able to share that I’ve been putting their advice into action, observing their actions, and manifesting my goals.

I look forward to the next time (2 months away) I’m in Sydney with the K2 herd!

Keto Choices

Choices people, CHOICES.

Keto is NOT hard, unsustainable, or unhealthy.

You know what’s hard?

Suffering from a disease. Having your skull cut open to remove a tumor trying to kill you. Dealing with cancer. Loosing someone in your life. Feeling physical pain from things that could be avoided.

The list goes on.

That said, there’s a ton of context involved around those statements and it’s why I do all I do. From coaching to speaking, to investing my time, money, and energy into creating content that brings you all value.

All my efforts are context based and I believe we all have potential the become as healthy, happy, and successful as we believe we can become.

It’s all in our choices.

If anyone wants to prioritize the health of their brain and allow it to perform better and become more resilient to disease, utilizing the power of ketones as a tool and/or lifestyle can be a game changer.

There’s also a ton of support for body composition, energy, recovery, inflammation, oxidative stress, and so much more from ketones themselves along with the consciousness of all areas of life that keto has shown me.

Here’s an example of a dialed keto meal taken from Eastern: lamb, Brussels, and a zucchini boat stuffed with an artichoke spinach dip.

Some clean protein, non-starchy veggies, and plenty of fats.
