Defining Dad Bod

"I'm pretty stressed out today"Oh yeah? What's got you stressed?Kids, job, decisions, family, and random acts of entropy -- adulting is hard and the 2nd law of thermodynamics is working! (The universe tends toward disorder, Entrophy is always positive in a reaction. AND whatever might go wrong, usually does)So what to do?What if I told you that exercise can change the structure and function of your brain so that you can DEAL BETTER. AND the effects are lasting?Would that motivate you?I understand, you're stressed, but if you added a 20min run here or there or hit the weights you could end your day feeling accomplished rather than stressed. Excited rather than anxious. Contented rather than upset.Its a powerful mechanism. Lets talk about it!

We are always talking about muscles in the fitness world.Don’t get me wrong. Muscles are great. Their connections across joints to produce movement, the aesthetic appearance of healthy muscularity, and the fact that they actually burn when you exercise…I get it. But are they the only parts that benefit when we move our bodies in a way that creates positive stress?Well, your heart gets stronger and pumps more blood per beat when you exercise. Your lungs become more efficient at exchanging carbon dioxide and oxygen. Resistance training can even elevate almost all of your liver enzymes for up to 7 days! Just to name a couple non-muscles…But what if I told you that exercise’s benefits for muscles, heart, lungs and liver are actually tiny compared to its effect on your most important organ of all? Well, the most impressive studies in the fitness world all agree: exercise changes your brain.Let’s talk about how!Support the movement! www.patreon.com/definingdadbodGet Connected!https://mailchi.mp/190b78fc1d5c/definingdadbodNew Videoswww.definingdadbod.com/videosStart YOUR LIFE TRANSFORMATIONwww.definingdadbod.com/shop==>NEW!!

Are you ready to put the icing on the cake?Part 5 of overcoming obesity is all about supporting and optimizing your thyroid. Simply put, we'll be taking a break from commonly inflammatory foods, getting on a good probiotic, elimintating toxins from household practices, and sweating daily to further support toxin elimination. The truth is, if you've made it this far, you're not eating much cake. But in the last 4 of the 16 week process of optimizing your hormone-system we're going to address the tip-top, strictest portion of the pyramid but don't worry, not for long. If you can follow through on this step along with the previous 3 phases (see https://www.definingdadbod.com/blog/overcomingobesitypart1) you'll be on your way to your BEST YOU and your hormones will be working for you rather than against you.
