He ate MORE. Lost the weight. Not because of a deficit. Because he finally ate for his physiology. Most guys are still following someone else’s plan they read on social media. Quiz in bio. Find out how you should actually eat.

Well, looks like I’m training for something in April.

Young men, if you want to be successful in life here’s how you do it: Surround yourself with good men who love God and their families who will push you to grow and be better. I am where I am because of good men and I am profoundly blessed.

If you woke up, got out of the shower, didn’t like what you saw, and feel like nothings working and you’ll always be stuck this way, let me tell you, you can change. Anyone can. Take 3 min and take this quiz in my bio. I’ll send you a really cool resource that will help you understand why you feel stuck and what to do.

Big wellness can be just as much of a scam as big pharma and it’s maddening. “I don’t trust the FDA!” Fair enough. Me either. “But check out these supplements my buddy sells.” You mean supplements with zero research, no third party testing, and no longitudinal data? At the end of the day, your health is your responsibility. Research, dive deep, make informed decisions, but just know both camps are out to drive a profit and neither are above slimy tactics to get that profit.

You cleaned up your diet.
You’re lifting. And your cholesterol is still high, or weirdly low. 
You still feel cold by noon, foggy by 2, and wiped by dinner like your body’s running on a dimmer switch. There’s a number on your labs we need to look at. 
Your thyroid is one of the body’s master dials for blood cholesterol. High thyroid hormone activity → cholesterol often runs low.
Low thyroid hormone activity → cholesterol often runs high. 
That link is old, mapped, and boringly consistent. It’s basic physiology no one has taught you. Let me help you make sense of this. Think of your bloodstream as a delivery network and LDL particles as trucks carrying cholesterol cargo. The liver is the warehouse that has to unload those trucks. LDL receptors on liver cells are the loading docks. More docks = trucks get cleared faster = fewer cholesterol trucks circling in your blood. Thyroid hormone, especially the active form T3, turns up those docks. It binds thyroid hormone receptors in the liver (TRβ) and turns on the LDL receptor gene. It also pushes SREBP-2, a transcription factor that drives even more receptor production. When thyroid activity runs high, more docks open, clearance speeds up, blood cholesterol falls. 
When thyroid activity runs low (and TSH climbs), fewer docks are available. High TSH can also bump PCSK9, a protein that tags LDL receptors for destruction, so the docks get torn down faster. Result: trucks linger. Numbers climb. And that’s only the clearance side. 
Thyroid hormone also ramps conversion of cholesterol into bile acids through CYP7A1, the gut exit route for cholesterol your body doesn’t need hanging around. So if your LDL keeps climbing while you’re “doing everything right,” or it sits strangely low while you feel wired and wiped, the question isn’t only “what am I eating.” 
It’s “what dial is set wrong upstream.” Now layer how that actually feels day to day, because labs don’t capture the whole story: Cold hands and feet when everyone else is fine. 
Morning temp that is low when you wake up.
Hair getting thinner, including the outer eyebrows.
Dry skin, nails that snap.
Dragging fatigue sleep doesn’t fix.
Brain fog that makes simple decisions feel heavy.
Weight that won’t move, or soft weight that showed up without a lifestyle crash.
Constipation / sluggish gut.
A resting pulse that feels slow and sleepy.
Puffy face or hands that don’t match your training. We need to look at your labs, and not the standard work up from your doctor that misses the critical elements. We aren’t after a number. Here’s what we’re after.
It’s waking up warm.
Thinking clear by lunch.
Having energy left after work for your kids, your wife, your training.
Walking into your next blood draw with a real plan instead of another shrug and another statin conversation that never asks about the dial. I’ll leave you with one open loop on purpose: 
If thyroid hormone controls how many LDL docks your liver builds, what happens when conversion from storage hormone (T4) to active hormone (T3) is the part that’s stuck… even when TSH looks “fine”? That’s a different conversation than “eat less fat.” Take the free quiz at the link in my bio. It helps you map why you might be feeling off and unlocks a free resource based on your answers.

If your power goes out and the stores stay empty for 90 days, would your family make it? If you’re a husband or a dad, this isn’t hobby prep. 
It’s your job. 1 Timothy 5:8 doesn’t play: if a man won’t provide for his own household, he’s denied the faith. 
Proverbs 27:12: the prudent man sees danger coming and gets ready. The simple keep walking and pay for it. You’re not called to panic. 
You’re called to protect and provide before the crisis hits. Agencies talk days to 2 weeks as the baseline. 
90 days is advanced. It takes space, rotation, and practice. 
Start with 2 weeks. Then build to 90. Scale everything to YOUR household. Here’s the checklist for a family of about 4–5 sheltering in place: WATER (highest priority)
1 gallon per person per day
Family of 4 → ~360 gallons / 90 days
Family of 5 → ~450 gallons
You probably can’t store it all. Hybrid plan:
• At least 2 weeks sealed (56 gal for 4)
• Food-grade jugs / bricks / barrels
• Filters (Sawyer, gravity) + ability to boil
• Unscented bleach for clear water (follow CDC directions)
• Know sources: water heater, rain, filtered outdoor water
• Tub bladder when a storm is coming FOOD
~2,000 calories per person per day
Stuff you’ll actually eat. Little cooking. Little water.
Family of 4 starter (scale up):
• White rice 50–100+ lbs, oats, pasta, crackers
• Canned meats, dried beans, peanut butter
• Canned/dried fruit & veg
• Oil, honey/sugar, salt, spices
• Shelf-stable milk, bars, kid snacks for morale
Manual can opener. Cool dry storage. Rotate what you buy. MEDICAL
• 90-day supply of prescriptions (ask your doctor/pharmacist early)
• Real first-aid kit: bandages, gauze, antiseptic, gloves, thermometer
• OTC: pain, anti-diarrhea, antacids, allergy, vitamins
• Hygiene: soap, sanitizer, feminine products, dental
• Glasses / contacts / inhalers / family-specific gear
• Waterproof copies of scripts + insurance
Sanitation prevents more casualties than heroics. SANITATION
• Toilet paper (several rolls per person per month)
• Wet wipes + heavy trash bags with ties
• Bucket toilet with liner + seat (or portable toilet)
• Bleach / disinfectant for surfaces
• Diapers / pet waste if needed
• Soap + a way to wash hands and dishes
Dirty hands end 90-day plans fast. SHELTER & WARMTH (cold winters matter)
• Sleeping bags / blankets rated for your cold
• Layers, boots, rain gear, hats, gloves
• Plastic sheeting + duct tape for repairs
• Backup heat you can vent safely (never CO indoors)
• Camp stove / grill fuel for cooking
• Tarp or tent as backup
Cold kills quieter than hunger. LIGHT • POWER • COMMS • TOOLS
• Flashlights / headlamps + batteries (or solar recharge)
• Hand-crank or battery NOAA weather radio
• Phone power bank + solar charger
• Multi-tool, knife, duct tape, wrench/pliers (utility shutoff)
• Waterproof matches / lighter, work gloves
• Whistle, local maps, out-of-area contact plan DOCS • CASH • MORALE
• Cash in small bills (cards and ATMs can die)
• IDs, insurance, bank info, birth certificates in a waterproof go-pouch
• Paper, pens, books, games for kids
• Fire extinguisher
• Pet food + water + supplies
Panic is a plan failing in public. Calm is practiced. HOW TO BUILD IT Build a solid 2-week kit first Expand month by month toward 90 days Label bins. Everyone in the house knows where they are. Practice: cook from stores, purify water, run a short drill. Plan for stay-home AND evacuate
Know YOUR hazards: winter storms, flooding, long outages. You’re not waiting on a rescue.
You’re the one keeping the people under your roof alive. The scary part is waiting until the shelves are empty. 
The practical part is starting tonight. Sources: Ready.gov + CDC water-storage guidance.

99% of social media marketing courses by females are a scam. “I can help you grow by X% with my xyz framework.” The framework is showing your boobs and being a hoe, Becky. You don’t actually know anything, and your followers are unaccomplished basement dwellers and guys named Sandeep.

He’s right you know.

You can just do things.

Nov 6th go see my friend @scot.teller21 play uncle Paulie in “I play Rocky.” Thanks to @peterzook and his wife @roxyzook for opening their home to celebrate with friends. I’m blessed to know some truly incredible people with hearts of gold.

Stolen from @resisfertile Socialism is laziness and theft.

When we repeal the 19th it should apply to any man under 600ng/dl of testosterone. Women of both sexes are equally dangerous.

This is where the leftists push gun control while missing the actual problem, bad or absent fathers. This is what happens when boys are raised with no fathers and no consequences. One in four kids in America, so about 18 million, grow up with no father in the home. And we wonder why the streets are raising our sons. A boy with no father looks for one somewhere. If he doesn’t find him at home, he’ll find him on the corner with some gang or group of fools. Men weren’t made to be alone. We run in tribes and if the father doesn’t build that good tribe for his sons or model what good is, it’s no wonder his son becomes a fool. You want fewer shootings? Start in the home. Fathers: be present. Be the standard. Lead before you lose your son to the street.

I changed my mind. Liberal white women are not the biggest threat to this country. It’s low T men, particular Christian men of the Big Eva stripe who white knight for liberal white women. They know the truth but lack the testicular fortitude to do the right thing. They are the biggest threat.

Traitor

Have the courage to be disliked.

I won’t put words in their mouth, but I’m assuming positive intent, I think some men on here like @aaron_renn and @willspencer who have come out against TRT have valid concerns, but because this isn’t their lane and they aren’t educated about it, they’re confusing categories. I don’t think either of them is against a man having optimal T levels. (900-1100ng/dl) These are high normal of what a man can produce naturally. That said, what guys call TRT is really just a full blown steroid cycle. Before anyone argues with me, I know more than you. This is my area of expertise and I have run full blown cycles before. TRT is not a specific dose, because every man is different, the highest I have ever seen a man run is 250mg a week just to get his levels to 1000ng/dl. For most men 250mg a week is steroid cycle. Thats not TRT. Your levels will be 1300-1500 or more. Just be honest at that point, you’re running a steroid cycle. That does have risks… ask me how I know. I’m personally a hyper responder. I can stay at 1000ng/dl on 150mg a week. TRT is the dose required to get you to optimal. (900-1100ng/dl) Young dudes like to say, “I’m on TRT” but they’re running 3-400mg test. My dude, you’re on steroids. Just be honest. Aaron and Will aren’t dumb dudes so im going to assume theyre anti the effect steroid cycles have. They would be entirely wrong on every level to castigate true TRT, especially for men who need it. Low T (under 350) significantly increases cardiac risk as testosterone helps to clear ldl cholesterol from the liver. Let me tell a quick story. I’m working with a pastor friend who has familial hyper cholesterolemia. Docs wanted him on a statin and he refused. ApoB is the most important marker to check for cardiac health and his was 145… should be under 80, and after a year of dialing in diet and lifestyle, we really didn’t move the needle there even though he got fitter and stronger. His test was under 350 so I told him he needed to consider TRT. In 10 weeks ApoB dropped 45 points. He has more energy and drive to lead his family, his wife, and his people and we reduced cardiac risk. TRT is a wonderful gift and writing it off without being educated on what it is and why is not a smart move. I have a testosterone quiz in my bio. It takes 2 min and goes through the symptoms of low T. Check it out.
