Ozempic & Ozempic Alternatives: Is It a Game Changer for Weight Loss?
Ozempic and Ozempic alternatives are getting more and more popular by the day. That probably won’t slow down anytime soon as the medication originally developed for managing type 2 diabetes is continued to be marketed as a miracle weight loss solution. However, this off-label use may come with significant risks and drawbacks. Before we get into our skeptical take on the subject, it’s important to acknowledge that science, research, and technology have cured countless diseases and improved our lives. Could Ozempic and Ozempic alternatives be a safe and effective game-changer? Potentially, but, as responsible consumers, we should always be very…

Get into a Flow State — Faster
Ever finish up a run, workout, or work project and think to yourself, “Wow, where did the time go?” You were definitely in a flow state — one of the most best places to be. “Flow state” refers to a mental state where you’re fully immersed in an activity and experience with a sense of energized focus, complete absorption, and enjoyment in the process. It’s also known as being “in the zone.” This state of mind was first identified by psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi in the 1970s, who found that people experiencing flow state described feeling a deep sense of satisfaction…

The Perfect Morning Routine for Peak Performance
The early morning hours my favorite time of day. It’s usually when I’m most clear minded, inspired, and eager to get to work. I believe that much of that is because I’ve fine-tuned what my perfect morning routine looks like and have been consistent with it over the years. It’s never exactly on point because life is life and things change (travel, events, etc.), but I do my best to be regimented on this morning routine. I picked up a couple of these from different sources, but some of them have been things I’ve experimented with over the years and…

I WILL ALWAYS CHASE THE PAIN
CHASE THE PAIN has been one of the most exciting projects I’ve had the opportunity to work on with the team at SPARTAN in collaboration with Craft Sportswear. First and for most, we’re not talking about debilitating physical pain here.

Sure, if it’s a physical feat then some “pain” may involved, but we were actually talking about the mental struggle. You want to drop 20 pounds? You better believe it’s going to be…

How I Came Back From Shoulder Surgery — Twice!
Here we go again, a blast back to 2013/2014. Another shoulder surgery! This time on the other side. I had some shoulder instability and general weirdness starting around September 2020. I think I might have pushed it over the edge doing PVC overhead squats. One of the things I would do to prevent injury! I think I might have dropped down into the squat too quickly before my shoulders were warm and loose enough. I felt a pop, but nothing painful. I could have also done it doing a rockstar yoga pose or crab. Both times I felt a pop.…
