Just wanted to post a quick plug for a small business that I had the pleasure of discovering in Sarasota, Florida. This was a coffee roaster and shop that sells organic coffee. I am always telling my patients that coffee is one of the most heavily sprayed crops in the world. owner- Gary- travels the world to meet the families and farms that produce the coffee beans that he roasts. These farms are either organic certified or practice as close to organic as possible. The coffee was amazing, but more importantly I was impressed by the sourcing and attention to detail that yields a healthy cup of coffee. If you love coffee, give black gold coffee roasters a try.

Whenever I go away on vacation I try to find a local, independent gym to support. I was thrilled to find in Sarasota. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Nate who was incredibly friendly and helpful. This is a true power lifters gym with all the right equipment to get a great workout in. Kettlebells, sleds, specialty bars and other fun stuff to stay strong. Highly recommended checking them out if you visit Sarasota.

Went for my first Christmas ruck in Delaware. Rucking is great exercise but it can be fun too, especially when you participate with others. We rucked 3.5 miles, put decorations on a tree and dressed as festive and silly as we could. What a great day!

Here at the Underground strength con in Orangeburg New York. Put on by who was one of my coaches and a source of incredible inspiration. The speakers have been amazing and Joe Riggio and the folks at have been incredible hosts. One of the highlights was Joe Desena, founder of Lots of great information to bring back to the patients on Monday.

Very excited to be in Dallas for the Dave Asprey Biohacking conference. Hoping for lots of knowledge bombs to bring back to my patients on Monday.

Absolutely stoked to hear Gary Brecka at the American Academy of Ozonotherapy. The folks at this conference are awesome and the knowledge is overwhelming. So much to bring back to my patients on Monday.

Just had a chance to meet . A great guy who has tremendous knowledge regarding health, hormones and optimization. He is here with a lot of other great folks at the A4M conference in West Palm Beach. Good times!

Here at the Age management medical conference in Miami. I am still so excited at the beginning of any educational experience- it amazes me that after all these years nothing has changed. Looking forward to bringing new solutions to my patients come Monday.

Its 0900 in Arizona. Just finished my 3rd ruck- 2 gym workouts and 62450 steps all in 48 hours. The beautiful weather and amazing scenery helps a lot. So great to get outside and reconnect with nature.

Rucked the Turkey trot this morning with my family. A great way to start the holiday, and made sure to earn my carbs for the rest of the day. Hoping all had a wonderful thanksgiving!

Race finished! Took about an hour. Keith was an awesome race partner as always. This was tough, and we need to challenge ourselves from time to time to prevent us from getting to comfortable. A wonderful weekend in Boston and now it is time to relax and celebrate.

Participated in a 9/11 event today for the Travis Manion foundation. His phrase was “If not me, then who?” He gave the ultimate sacrifice and today’s charity event honored that sacrifice. The ruck was a 5k in the rain- perfect to capture the sober nature of 9/11 and the charity event. The sun came out at the end:). My load out was 53 pounds and we completed the 5k in about 51 minutes. It was a good day spent with friends and participants.
