My book “The Five Levers of PTSD” is available on Amazon again after some modifications. This is equal parts autobiography and neurology. You can find it through the menu on my site Averagetoelite.com

Another reason why doing breathing work and maintaining a baseline of conditioning is crucial for any athlete.

Getting rid of fat can be exhausting, but it’s as natural as breathing.

If you’re an athlete (or want to be) getting sick can feel like someone just threw up a giant blockade in your road to success. I don’t get sick very often. In fact, I get sick at a rate of about once every 2-3 years. The problem is that when I do get sick I get taken down, and I mean hard. That...

New blog post up on Average To Elite! Part 2 in a series on my daily routine and how it's improving my mindset, health and body composition.

This is a blog post on a new fitness tracker I've been using called the Whoop Band. Most fitness trackers don't actually do very much aside from count your steps and maybe read your heart rate. The few that capture HRV (in my opinion) don't actually do that much with the information aside from spit a vague number back at you. The Whoop Band takes information from your heart rate, HRV and sleep cycles and distills it down into usable data that can change the way you train.

Let’s take a look at a new wearable fitness tracker that has a lot more under the hood than you might think. I’ll be the first to admit: I’m super easy to sell to. You could probably sell me world war two era su***de pills. It’s that bad. Over the last few years I’ve gotten a lot better ab...
