But, Fat Makes Us Fat

Not. Fat does NOT make us fat. If we’re talking the right context.

Here is an easy filling dinner consisting of a bunch of non-starchy & fibrous veggies, quality protein, and lots of delicious fats.

If you want to burn body fat, you gotta eat healthy fats while getting rid of the crap foods.

I was conditioned by mainstream media and education to think fat was bad for our heart health and would make us fat.

What I had to dig deep to learn on my own was far from what I was being told and sold.

In the pretense of whole foods, lowering carbohydrate and sugar consumption, and eliminating toxins and stress as much as we can, fat is an integral part of brain and overall health.

Fat is critical for brain health in general.

Where fat gets a bad wrap is when people confuse dietary fat with the following:

1. unhealthy body fat as a result from poor lifestyle choices.

2. the combination of excessive fat consumption along with excessive carbohydrate and sugar consumption.

3. fat combined with processed food and sugar intake, which the latter is toxic no matter what its combined with or not.

4. tom foolery marketing backed by sugar companies claiming that fat is bad.

5. false propaganda for different dietary theories claiming that fat and cholesterol destroy our health and they we need “heart healthy” whole grains.

Can you name any more reasons why people believe fat to be evil?

Financial Stories

This trip meant the world to me to have documented.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwwnbdmho93/?igshid=4kisibv1ee62

In the past, I would make decisions by the short term gain vs loss.

I used to be crippled to the lack of money I had and my choices would be dictated by the fear of “not having enough”. That meant I missed out on seeing a lot of my family and friends a lot of the time because although I was laser focused on my BMX career, and successful, I wasn’t making much more money than my basic needs.

I’ve learned that was a simple perspective piece based on past subconscious programming that manifested this past relationship with money.

Today, I’ve thrown out the mentality of being limited by what’s in my bank account, not being to manifest more than “average”, and have swapped it out for the belief we live based on the limits we believe in for ourselves.

I’ve taken massive risks over the years, gone all in on what I believe in today, and made choices based on what’s best for my long game and my soul.

Taking the money I have after basic living needs is usually saved up to reinvest back in my business.

This time, I wanted to use that money for the people I love, now that my belief system is one of love, health, happiness, success, and abundance.

It’s always been a dream of mine to fly in with no notice to surprise my family and best friend (Brandon) and take Brandon and my dad to a Celtics game.

I was able to do that a few weeks ago and it was a byproduct of my belief and hard work for the life I envision.

Nothing more.

Post-SPECT Scan Supplements

Part 2 of my trip to @doc_amen with @ryanplowery for SPECT scans of our brains drops tomorrow at 330pm EST.

The post-SPECT scan supplement line up, until we get the results of all the blood work that was ordered, is pictured here. UPDATED list next week.

Just a quality DHA/EPA Omega supplement can do wonders for anyone’s 🧠 health, let alone someone with past trauma (mental or physical) and/or toxicity (sugar, alcohol, mold, drugs, alcohol, etc.) to their brain.

Mixing that up with @doc_amen @brainmdhealth Brain & Memory Power Boost supplement to promote blood flow in the 🧠 can be very powerful along with a healthy lifestyle of a low-glycemic diet, healthy mental practice, and living a regular active lifestyle.

Check out my vlog part 1 from visiting @doc_amen for a SPECT scan on my IGtv and get ready for part 2 tomorrow sharing all the data and results with a deep dive into the 🧠 and how all the above mention information really plays out on the 🧠 based on imaging rather than opinion.

I’m really proud to join my brother @ryanplowery in becoming the first to look at the brain under SPECT with @justpruvit exogenous ketones in an effort to help all of YOU even further with hard facts and sound evidence that you can see in real time.

BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE and stop talking about it. TAKE ACTION and back up your words.

I want to make a difference and I’m investing everything I have emotionally, financially, spiritually, and

physically to see that change manifest in my reality.

Our Eyes Are Projectors

“Our eyes are not only viewers, they’re projectors.” -Jim Carrey

I love Jim and have always been a fan of him since I was a kid.

His statement is so true and anyone that’s accomplish a goal, no matter how big or small, can confirm this.

Why?

Because, it took some level of focus and visualization to make that goal manifest into your reality.

It can be clearer for making dreams come true, or things beyond what we ever fathomed becoming our reality, as I have during my BMX career.

All I did was think about BMX, dream BMX, watch BMX contest and videos, talk about BMX, and TAKE ACTION on my BMX bike.

Not only was the emotional and psychological aspect of manifesting a goal or dream there, I also took non stop action every single day possible.

We can create the realities we want or don’t want. It all comes back to what we see in our minds.

All the greatest in sports focus on visualizing their actions, especially when it comes time to compete and test all the “homework” done at home when no ones watching.

Think back to any “good” or “bad” experience in your life and really audit your mindset, actions, beliefs, words spoken, and how it resulted. Was it aligned with those mindsets, actions, beliefs, and words spoken, even if it wasn’t the desired result?

If it’s a yes, then think of how you could spin it for what you want.

My biggest problem along my journey with manifestation the life I desired was the patience piece and I find that’s way more prevalent in today’s society with everything being so instant.

It won’t happen over night but you’ll be surprised how quickly changes are made in your life when you audit and change your mindset, words, and actions.

It’s All Perspective

Perspective is essential to life. “Life is 10% of what happened to us and 90% of how we respond.” “Life doesn’t happen to us, life happens for us.” Both quotes come from different people but underline the same choice & that’s a choice in perspective that we have every single day, no matter what. We all face this choice with every part of our lives.

This choice can not be taken from us unless we decided to give it up.

We can choose how we decide to see the world, see our lives & we see the events that place one way over another, good or bad, with the simple act of thought.

Glass half full over glass half empty. “Failure” over an opportunity to learn and grow.

It’s all perspective.

Now, I could have given up on more than 2 handful of occasions but good would that have done for me & my vision for my life?

It wouldn’t have done any good & would have actually put me further back from reaching my goals & potential to help others.

I also can’t stress enough how gratitude fuels the shift in perspective & leads to abundance.

When I was faced with a death sentence at the pinnacle of my dream BMX career & just turned 21, I first went to fear, worry, & what I call “victimville” but my family, the BMX community, learning of @lancearmstrong, & my own desire to live my life on my own terms wouldn’t allow that choice in fear.

My perspective quickly shifted to that of gratitude to still be alive, have the love & support of many around the world, & most importantly, a chance to fight to make my tomorrow better & continue living my life.

I often hear friends, family, & strangers complaining of how “hard” life is, how much life “sucks”, or “it must be nice” when in reality, every single person that is conscious & breathing has something to be grateful for.

I challenge you all to focus on just ONE thing you’re grateful for each day & really feel it deep down. That emotional state you find yourself in can change you life as it’s changed mine.

Josh P. 💚🧠✌️

You Are Not Alone.

You’re not alone.

You’re not broken.

You’re not weird.

You have nothing to feel embarrassed about.

You have no reason not to attack each day with the same enthusiasm as before any bit of adversity faced you head on.

No one can take away the same choice we all have within us and that’s our mindset.

We choose what to believe in, what to focus our thoughts on, and what mental exercising we choose to participate in each day.

For me, the choice of gratitude to still be alive and have the opportunity to make my tomorrow better keeps me going. To believe in the fact that our mind and eyes are much more than viewers but how they’re also projectors for our lives.

To believe shit could always be worse if we’re alive, breathing, and have the luxuries of walking, talking, seeing, having clean running water, not being hungry, having clean clothing and a bed to sleep in, having a device in which we’re reading this post, and all the other things we tend to take for granted as living human beings.

No matter what hardship you’re facing, you’re not alone. Others, like myself, can relate to many forms of hardship and are here to support you however we can.

YOU just have to CHOOSE to find the courage to reach out for support and keep moving forward for what you want in your life.

I Am More Than Yesterday

BMX was something I did for more than half my life.

BMX is not what defines me because we’re not defined by what we do. We’re defined by who we are and how we show up in life today.

Today, I’ve dedicated my life to serving and supporting others, and sharing the following concepts about life I’ve learned in my 30 years:

1) perspective is essential and gratitude create abundance.

2) health is internal, not solely numbers on the scale or what’s on the outside.

3) our reality is a manifestations or our choices. Choices in thoughts, food, action, sleep, perspectives, etc.

I strive to I inspire new perspectives that leads to new action being taken to create a new reality. I also share all I’ve learned and experienced so others can become empowered to love as healthy, happy, and successful as possible.

I’m just a kid who dropped out of high school for a wild dream of becoming a pro BMX athlete with no upper hand other than a mindset to take action and never give up, no matter how much mental or physical pain I was in.

I decided to learn how to accomplish my goals and surround myself with what I call virtual mentors and connect with those that were successful in my everyday life. That meant being alone more often, doing the uncomfortable, and reaching out to those I aspired to be like and ask for help or guidance.

If I can succeed, I believe others can too. It just takes a vision, taking action, self-awareness, perspective, a plan, and a support system.

Inflammation

“Did you know that the ketogenic diet can fight inflammation?

Ketone bodies, are more than just an energy metabolite, they also act as potent signalling molecules, similarly to how hormones do!

Within the last few years, it was discovered that beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) inhibits the assembly of something called the NLRP3 inflammasome. When over-activated, it triggers the release of a whole cascade of pro-inflammatory molecules in the body, promoting inflammation.

While acute inflammation is a good thing and part of a normal functioning immune system, chronic inflammation is associated with various diseases. Therefore, finding mitigation strategies against chronic inflammation is incredibly useful for overall health!

Simply having circulating BHB may be one of these strategies, and eating a well-formulated ketogenic diet makes this possible!

Learn more about the ketogenic diet and the latest science behind how it’s being used in human disease and performance at The 3rd Annual Metabolic Health Summit! Tomorrow is the last day to take advantage of Early Bird pricing! Get your tickets at www.metabolichealthsummit.com 🥑🎉! #MHS2019”

Simplicity & Consistency

Keep it simple and consistent. That’s how you create sustainable success.

Doesn’t matter if it’s Keto, sports, career, relationships, etc.

We as human beings love over analyzing things because we’ve been conditioned to think it’s gotta be complicated in order to achieve our goals.

Fact of the matter is, and this is from my personal experience in all areas mentioned above, it’s really damn simple.

Set a goal, put the work in, foster the believe YOU CAN do it, don’t give up, be patient, learn what’s working or not working, become self-aware of what you’re good at, find your tribe of support, and stay focused on your WHY!

That’s it. If you have that equation, you’ll succeed.

When I began my nutrition and holistic health journey, even before Keto was as a passion or on my radar for that matter, I got too wrapped up in the complexity of it all.

As anyone who’s looking into health if any kind knows, it’s complex!

As time has gone on and I’ve experimented and coached others as I continue to educate myself, I’ve connected with some of the best Keto experts in the world. They all have an immense depth of knowledge for Keto, nutritional science, and health, and all same the same thing.

Kermit simple!

Simple can taste delicious, be efficient for your time, and nourish your body at the same time letting you crush your goals while feeling and looking the best ever.
