Environmental Adaptation

Have you heard of it?

You adapt to your environment, sometimes it’s good adaption and sometimes not so good which is what I’m talking about here

So here’s how this relates to you…

If you’re experiencing symptoms like being overweight, body pain, PCOS, Hoshimotos, no energy, low T, skin issues, bloating, whatever it may be

It’s because your body has adapted to you’re environment

You had to go through a process to get those symptoms or diagnosis

So to heal, your priority should be nothing other than fixing your environment FIRST

YOU CAN’T HEAL IN THE SAME ENVIRONMENT THAT FORCED YOU TO MALADAPT 🗣️

Where most coaches go wrong is they imply strategies to your already inflamed system which will only lead to more inflammation which is the root of what?

ALL disease

They chase your symptoms

They don’t deal with your primary issue first… how you maladapted to your environment!

They use the same program to treat everyone, even though YOU adapted completely differently than the next person they’re working with

As your coach, it is vital for me to know how your body adapted because this is more important than your condition itself 🤯

That’s more important than “chasing symptoms”

Once I know this THEN I can help you back out of it

Think of it like like a dead end road

How do you get back to the main road? You turn around and backtrack…

This is why lifestyle changes are crucial!

The more you live your life in a crazy, unmanageable fashion, the more maladaptive you get and the worse your symptoms are

The 4F Process at @nutrition_dynamic is extremely effective at helping you heal because it deals with the adaptive nature of your environment and walks you out of it

Until your body is in balance, you can’t achieve your goals, or at least KEEP IT

I hope this helps! taken in Mountain Bridge by @thenathanbright

Life Update!

I’m excited to announce 🗣️ that I’m one of the newest Functional Health Coaches @vidal_coaching !

I discovered Vidal Coaching back in December ’22 when the founder @vince_pitstick spoke on stage at a business event

I'm attracted to their passion to help clients heal with their proven systems inspired by the foundations of Functional Medicine

Working with Vidal Coaching allows me to use their next level education, specific protocols, community of other amazing professionals, support, and functional lab testing to get you answers and help you heal

I’m looking forward to continue educating you on how to truly heal your body and overcome your health struggles so you can feel like a rockstar

With that being said, in the near future I’m going to be working with both men and women who have a general understanding of health and fitness

You find yourself being mostly consistent with the basics and have built a decent foundation, but you feel stuck and want to get to the next level

You've developed a growth mindset, you're coachable, have overcome challenges, and are willing to do the work that's required to get results

I specifically enjoy working with parents that have an athletic background, are self motivated, disciplined, and aren't afraid to speak your mind or ask questions

I love working with clients who have kids that rely on them because they tend to have a stronger "why" for optimizing their health

I appreciate y’all being on this ride with me and looking forward to what the future holds 💪 taken in Octotillo, Chandler, Arizona by @thenathanbright

Overcome this and you’ll be healthier…

You're afraid of what you're going to have to cut back or even give up completely when thinking about being healthier

I’m not talking about just food (alcohol, processed, etc)

That’s a given am I right?

I’m talking about things you’re addicted to like:

❌ Lack of sleep

❌ Your current way of being

❌ Being an over achiever for someone else

❌ Not having a schedule that keeps your time in check

❌ Netflix binges to watch a series everyone is raving about

❌ Endless hours scrolling on social media watching others live their life

❌ The inability to say “NO” to people and events that drain your energy

It’s SO important to not allow the fear of giving something up

Overcome the reward of being disciplined

More often than not, the things you need to give up aren’t serving you anyway taken in Octotillo, Chandler, Arizona by @thenathanbright

This one simple question changed everything for us

It was 𝐒𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐀𝐮𝐠𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝟖, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟎, a beautiful summer day under the Arizona sun ☀️

Little did we know we were about to embark on one of our greatest adventures together

We ascended 3,300 feet, an uphill battle that unfolded over 8 hours, a true test of our physical and mental strength

We both considered ourselves to be in decent shape before this – boy we were wrong

Even through the exhaustion, this hike has been etched in our memories forever

Side by side, we scaled the mountain together, getting caught in changing weather conditions and captivating conversation

A combination of Nathan’s humor, calves and the changes in elevation quite literally left me breathless 😮‍💨

As we summited the final peak, I had a moment of profound clarity

I thought to myself…𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘺 𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘴 𝘢𝘵 𝘮𝘺 𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘥𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘤𝘭𝘪𝘮𝘣 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘭𝘦𝘵 𝘮𝘦 𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘵 𝘰𝘯 𝘮𝘺𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧, 𝘩𝘦’𝘴 𝘥𝘦𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘢 𝘬𝘦𝘦𝘱𝘦𝘳

So as we stood atop Mount Humphreys peak, almost 𝟏𝟑,𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡 overlooking the majestic Grand Canyon, I took a leap of faith and asked Nathan this one question that has forever changed the trajectory of our relationship

With a soft smile, I turned to him and popped the question…

"𝘞𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘣𝘦 𝘮𝘺 𝘣𝘰𝘺𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘥?"

Time paused as he held my gaze, and finally sealed the deal with a kiss

Three years have swept by since that epic day

Nathan, you have been nothing but a bright light and constant pillar of strength in my life

You make me laugh when I want to cry

You help me see the bright side of life

I knew I had to follow the pull in my heart to move to Arizona three years ago

You were the reason

Happy 3 years of loving you 🤍

I look forward to many more epic adventures together ⛰️ taken in Mount Humphrey's Peak by @thenathanbright

It’s a win-win for everyone…

You're super busy so I've made it EASY, here is what you'll need to do...

Comment below or DM me and I'll send you a short video to send to your referrals.

Let me ask you this:

Who do you know who wants to be a healthier version of themselves?

Maybe it's your partner, parents, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, colleagues, friends, basically anyone who could use support and accountability on their health journey.

Think about it like this… if you don’t encourage them to take action or they work with someone else, it’s actually COSTING you money!

If you’re thinking to yourself "I don't want to bother them", "they're private about their health", or maybe you're private about your health and haven't shared with anyone what you're doing...

I want you to consider a different perspective: Most people want to be healthier. They want to feel better, fit into their clothes better and be around longer for their families.

And most people don't have anyone in their corner to point them in the right direction and hold them accountable to making the changes they know they need to make.

So, you’re doing them a disservice if you don’t share.

How good would you feel knowing you were the catalyst to helping someone you love change their life? taken in Octotillo, Chandler, Arizona by @thenathanbright

I just about said fuck it and joined them

It was one of those days as an entrepreneur

If you own a business, you know what I’m talking about

I saw these men digging that ditch and thought to myself "manual labor is hard ass work”

It’s 110 degrees and they are out there sweating and battling fatigue

But to me manual labor is easy

Why?

Because I’ve been there done that

It’s familiar

Growing up in the country repairing stuff with my parents, building fence, hauling hay, wrestling, crappy jobs as a teenager

It all conditioned my mind if I ever had to do it again

I know what to expect and how to overcome the mental struggle of hard labor

What I’m about to say is by no means supposed to disrespect those who do hard labor for a living

However most of the time it’s mindless work

HARD, but mindless

This whole concept is so relatable to living a healthy lifestyle it’s crazy

I mean think about it…

Consistently following a healthy lifestyle is unfamiliar

It’s can be hard and takes a lot of mental real estate

While on the flip side it’s really familiar to keep unhealthy habits because you’ve done it for so long, it’s mindless

So I encourage you to keep pushing through

Keep finding a way to progress

Because you’re not going to be happy with “familiarity"

You’ll be happy discovering that living the life you want will soon be your familiar taken in Octotillo, Chandler, Arizona by @thenathanbright

Are you looking for an edge? 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️

It’s been awhile since I’ve used multiple workout performance supplements partly because most on the market are bullshit 😒

Great workout performance supplements use a combination of various clinically proven ingredients that specifically help improve your training and recovery

Ingredients like creatine, citrulline, protein, salt, caffeine, etc

They are supplements intended to be used before, during, and/or after your workout 🏋️

A question you may be wondering and one I’ve asked myself…

Do workout performance supplements REALLY work?

Yes, they really do!

Are they necessary to reach your goals?

No, they are not

Their intention is to give you an edge…

More energy, focus, blood flow, delay muscle fatigue, increase strength and improve recovery to name a few

I’m excited to be the newest @transparentlabs Athlete!

Their name says it all and is a major reason why I feel good using their supplements as well as recommending them to you

They don’t use things I can’t stand like artificial colors and flavors, proprietary blends, fillers, and weak dosages 🚫

They are 3rd party tested with clinical studies to back their formulations ✅

They also use patented ingredients which is a plus IMO

Supplement costs can add up fast depending what you use and where you buy them

So if you’ve never tried these types of supplements or currently use them from shitty brands and want something BETTER

Shoot me a DM if you have any questions or simply use code NATHAN at checkout for a nice little savings 👊

A lesson from a Navy SEAL 🔱

When was the last time something good in your life happened by accident?

More often than not when we think of an “accident”

We think of something unwanted

“It was an accident!”

Good things in your life don’t happen by accident, they happen by intention

You’re in an amazing relationship… didn’t happen by accident.

You’re financially free… didn’t happen by accident.

You’re in great health… definitely didn’t happen by accident.

Whatever situation you are in now, good or bad

It didn’t happen by accident

Thank you @highgroundlife for teaching us this concept 🤜 taken in Tempe, Arizona by @thenathanbright

What video games taught me about macros ⬇️

Video games like Grand Theft Auto, racing cars, or 1-1 fighting are comparable to macros

In those games, the better you perform the more cash or points you get to build a better car or accumulate powers

In Grand Theft Auto you can use that cash to modify your car so it smokes the cops

Or in a fighting game you can accumulate points to put towards being quicker, stronger, more endurance etc

Dude what are you even talking about?

Macros have an edge over calories

Here’s what I mean

Macros are the cash or points to build a faster car (your body) or gain better powers (more muscle, increased strength, more energy)

If you have the wrong ratio of macros, you’re not going to get the body you want aka the cops will catch your ass or your opponent is going to beat you up

But if your macros are great for YOU, you’re going to get the body you want much quicker

I need to be honest about something…

I LOVE to feel full

And I mean FULL

Just look at my food baby in the photo!🫃

For me, there’s not much more satisfying in life than sitting down to a yummy meal when you are starving

And eating to the point of satisfaction and sometimes even past that haha 🤤

From my experience coaching

You may be afraid of feeling full

It may give you a false sense of feeling fat

It might make you think you've failed, like you did something wrong

Maybe you don’t feel like you deserve to feel full

There's nothing wrong with being full

If you find yourself grazing and snacking all day

You may always feel empty (literally and figuratively)

Almost like you’re chasing a feeling that you’re not letting yourself feel

Try this…

Ditch the limiting beliefs and eat

Eat an entire meal and embrace feeling full

Allow yourself to know that it’s OK

As long as you are below the amount of calories your body needs

You won't gain weight taken in Octotillo, Chandler, Arizona by @thenathanbright
