May is here and I want to be honest with you about what showing up really looks like for me ππ½
Everything I wear and use in my workouts is linked in one place so it is easy to find π https://beacons.ai/takilove
I have sciatica and endometriosis. Both of them have the ability to completely pull me off track and some days they do. But this month I made myself a promise. I am going to keep showing up in whatever capacity my body will allow. Not pushing through pain recklessly but staying as consistent as I possibly can because my health and my goals matter to me πͺπ½
Isaiah 53:5 has been on my heart this month. By his wounds we are healed β€οΈβπ₯ I say it before I train. I say it when I am getting dressed and filling up my water bottle and trying to talk myself into not cancelling the session. It keeps me anchored. It reminds me that my body is not my enemy even on the days it feels that way. If you are a person of faith you will understand what it means to hold onto something bigger than your circumstances and let it carry you when your own strength is not quite enough ποΈ
Chronic conditions change how we train. They do not have to stop us entirely. Here is what has genuinely helped me stay consistent π―
Listening to my body and not my ego. On hard days a slow walk is still a session. Getting there is the win π’
Staying hydrated throughout every single workout. I keep my WaterH BOOST water bottle with me every time I train and making hydration non-negotiable has made a real difference to how I feel during and after each session π§
Wearing something comfortable that actually moves with me. On the days when everything feels heavy, wearing a gym outfit that fits properly and feels good genuinely changes the energy. Mine is linked below π₯
Treating rest as part of the programme. Chronic pain does not respond well to constant pushing. Recovery is not laziness. It is strategy β¨
One more thing I want to say to anyone training with a chronic condition. Please speak with your GP or physiotherapist about what movement looks like for you specifically. There is no one size fits all and the right professional support can make all the difference to how safely and sustainably you are able to train.
If any of this resonates, whether you are managing a chronic condition, going through a difficult season or just struggling to stay consistent right now, please know that your effort counts π«Άπ½ All of it. The messy sessions, the shortened workouts, the days you showed up when you really did not want to. All of it counts.
You are not failing. You are fighting. Keep going π«

The source matters. Not just about how many grams.
Eggs β 10/10. DIAAS above 1.0. All 9 essential aminos. Choline, selenium, B12, fat-soluble vitamins. Highest bioavailability of any whole food. Hard to beat.
Ground beef β 12/10. Same profile as steak but the connective tissue adds glycine and proline. That supports glutathione production, gut lining, and collagen turnover. Plus heme iron, zinc, and creatine. This oneβs underrated.
Wild salmon β 10/10. Complete protein plus 1.5-2g EPA/DHA per serving. Farmed drops to 5/10 β omega-6 to omega-3 ratio shifts from 1:1 to as high as 1:11. Not the same food.
Whey β 9/10. Highest leucine content of any protein source at ~11%. Drives MPS like nothing else. Would be a 10 but itβs a supplement not a whole food.
Collagen β 6/10. Lacks tryptophan entirely. Low in BCAAs. Not useful for muscle protein synthesis. But for connective tissue and skin repair itβs in a class of its own.
Lentils β 5/10. DIAAS around 0.5-0.6. Limiting amino acid is methionine. Antinutrients reduce mineral absorption unless properly prepared.
Plant protein powder β 4/10. Pea/rice blends help the amino acid profile but bioavailability still runs 20-30% lower than animal sources. You can make it work. Just know the tradeoff.
