Average To Elite Performance

It's been a rocky couple of months but there's a lot on the way from Average To Elite! Our service delivery method has changed but the level of quality has not.

We've come a long way in 3 years and still going strong!

My book The Five Levers of PTSD is available on Amazon again after some modifications. This is equal parts autobiography and neurology. You can find it through the menu on my site Averagetoelite.com #neuroscience #ptsd #ptsdawareness #concussion #concussionrecovery #veteran #veterans #marines #tbisurvivor #neuro #neurology #zhealth #zhealthperformance

Coming soon I'll have a free ebook available that will help those of you entering (or already firmly entrenched in) middle age trouble shoot common problems we run into.

Another reason why doing breathing work and maintaining a baseline of conditioning is crucial for any athlete.

New blog post up on Average To Elite! Part 2 in a series on my daily routine and how it's improving my mindset, health and body composition.

Habit development is a lifelong process. It can be a positive habit like getting regular exercise or a negative one like staring at your phone during mealtime. So why is the latter such a problem? If you want to get the most out of your food in terms of fueling your workouts, you want to be in a more parasympathetic nervous system dominant state, which means rest and digest. If I'm looking at a screen (particularly stressful news or social media) it can up-regulate the sympathetic nervous systsem (fight or flight) and actually interfere with my digestion and nutrient absorption, which in turn impedes recovery and diminishes training performance.

This is a blog post on a new fitness tracker I've been using called the Whoop Band. Most fitness trackers don't actually do very much aside from count your steps and maybe read your heart rate. The few that capture HRV (in my opinion) don't actually do that much with the information aside from spit a vague number back at you. The Whoop Band takes information from your heart rate, HRV and sleep cycles and distills it down into usable data that can change the way you train.

Beef heart, seared in the pan. More organ meats lately, paired with bone broth for balance. #organmeat #organmeats #offal #bonebroth #primal #paleo #paleorecipes

It's important to not be afraid to ask questions.
