It’s All about the Inputs
Let's talk about those biomarkers... Cholesterol, Blood Pressure, Fasting Glucose, Resting Heart Rate... People ask "Can they be improved? But how?"
Well yes they can, and it's important to track them and keep checking in with your progress. YOU have more control than you think you do!
How did we decrease my client's resting heart rate by 10 beats, blood pressure and lipid numbers in 5 months? LIFESTYLE.
1. Increased daily movement: added in daily walks, and more zone 2 work (30+ minutes of aerobic work at hard conversation pace multiple times per week)
2. Increased strength training to at least 2x/week
3. Improved breakfast: upgraded a sugar-spiking coffee with maple syrup and toast with jam, to coffee with monk fruit and avocado toast with 2 eggs.
4. Cut out the mid-morning bowl of sugar-spiking granola by eating a larger, savory breakfast and bringing a protein shake for a snack.
5. Lost 5lbs of visceral fat around the waistline through consistently adhering to 1-4 above.
