5. Eating for heart health
More whole foods & healthy fats.
Less processed junk & saturated fat.
Focusing on more oatmeal, avocado, whole grains, and fewer Chick-fil-A runs (sad!)

4. Full blood panels with Function Health
They test 100+ biomarkers, explain results in plain English, and give clear action steps.
It’s how I learned my LDL cholesterol and ApoB are high, and exactly how to fix it.

3. Tracking with Whoop
I track VO₂ Max, resting heart rate, and even my “Whoop Age” to see real progress.
Current VO₂ Max: 49 (above average). Goal: hit “Excellent” at 53.
Data keeps me accountable.

2. Cardio I actually enjoy
I hate running. Always have. Always will. So I get my Zone 2 cardio from Brazilian Jiu Jitsu instead.
It’s fun, skill-based, and still builds endurance. 17% of my training time is in Zone 2.

1. Lifting more
I stopped relying on the gym and built a simple home setup with Bowflex dumbbells + a bench.
An hour a few times a week has:
•Increased my strength
•Boosted my confidence
•Dropped my physiological age by 0.6 years (Whoop stat)

There is not a single area where Ukrainian soldiers are even remotely in danger of being encircled.
Instead, there is one combat area where an encirclement is happening and this in Toretsk, where Russian forces are about to be cut off in the West of the town, if they didn't have left already.
