010 // Take care of yourself to take care of others
010 //
This is a charge to people living in the arena — that place of identity and purpose. I hope this short note helps instill an internal value system in you.
To the creatives, the entrepreneurs, the ones who wake up in pursuit of a worthy cause.
To the artist, the builders, the ones who make ideas come to life.
To the ones who believe— who know deep down that their small life matters greatly:
Don't sacrifice your health for the sake of your work.
Take care of yourself to take care of others.
Be selfish, in order to be selfless.
Train your body for a sound mind.
Train your body for the energy to create.
Train your body for life.
Look yourself in the mirror with a knowing grin,
because there is only one you.
Believe in your heart that what you do matters,
and value yourself enough to show up.
Today.
Whatever that looks like.

It's going to be a good week,
TOMMY

Focus on the Individual Our current health paradigm centers on the individual. Your six-pack abs, your 12-week weight loss program, etc... None of it is...
I've been in the health world for over 12+ years: competing as a pro athlete, working through chronic pain, building a company in the health/supplement space, training people, and working with health influencers. And there is a giant gap in all of it. Working with health influencers, I've noticed many of them are depleted of energy and struggle immensely with body-image issues. The more they obsess over their health, the more they struggle. And in that I realized something. In this endless...
Chances are when you read "fat free" on a label, you assume it's the healthier choice. This is wrong. This is the story of how we got duped into believing we should avoid fat: The story begins in the 1950s with a growing public health problem that needed an answer: heart disease. Journalist Nina Teicholz recounts: "The disease had appeared seemingly out of nowhere and had grown quickly to become the nation's leading cause of death." That all changed when a scientist named Nacel Keys, a...
