Energy Drinks & calorie loaded Coffee–end the madness
I get it.
You are tired.
At this point, getting more rest isn’t an option–though we can probably do better to set ourselves up for success.
What do we do?
Historically…
Coffee.
If black (not loaded with sugar, cream, etc)–it is not bad for you per say–but it likely will have wavering caffeine amounts and will take time to consume, digest, and process.
IF YOU CONSUME THE SUGAR, SYRUP, CALORIE LOADED COFFEE…just admit that you are not trying to be healthy and you just want a milkshake. Snap–seriously. Stop with this nonsense. This isn’t going to do anything good for you. You are spiking your glycogen (making your body think it is getting nutrition/a meal–but you are only getting sugar and useless calories). SO unless you are using this calorie laden drink as a meal replacement and going 2-4 hours before eating again, this is sabotage. And even if this is the case, this is a very bad choice.
I take 5 hour energy/ Energy Drink…oh you consume ingredients not fit for human consumption? Holy waste of money and gut health! I am not going to expand on this other than to point out that if the proliferation of ENERGY drinks and use of 5 hour energy was a good thing–then we’d be the happiest, healthiest, and most productive society on earth!
But, we are not and we are proportionally worse with the rise of “Energy drinks.”
Start your day with 24-32 ounces of water with a little bit of Celtic or Himalayan salt…wait an hour after waking before introducing caffeine (and ideally utilize what I recommend). So, before you start pounding Energy drinks or other caffeine forms, hydrate and give your body a chance to wake up on its own.
As I stipulate in the video, I only recommend NSF certified supplements and in particular I utilize the practitioner brand, dotFIT. NO OTHER BRANDS OFFER THE EFFICACY, VALUE, CONSISTENCY, OR WIDE RANGE OF SYNERGISTIC PRODUCTS!
What do you take for instant energy?
WORKOUT EXTREME!
1-2 capsules are better than any 5 hour energy or E drink.
Want pre-workout Energy?
NO7 RAGE (I take 1 scoop with 2 capsules of “workout extreme” for 350mg caffeine total).
I highly recommend the rest of the supplement stacks I list out. But, at the least, let’s start by getting off of the crap Energy sources.

There is no way to get all the nutrients vitamins, minerals, proteins, etc. that you need from food alone— especially since the food we get is simply not the highest quality…
Everyone should be on the essential stack. I list below and most of us should be taking more things because we have the nutritional needs for them.
Watch my video and you’ll hear more about my conviction in reasons why I only recommend the one practitioner grade brand that I have been using for myself my clients, my friends and my family for over half a decade now — what would I know I’m only an all natural professional bodybuilder that depends upon the quality of his supplements and authenticity of them being free of contaminants.

How to Ferment your Oats!
Fermented oats? Why?
Phytic acid was discovered in 1903.[16] Phytic acid, mostly as phytate in the form of phytin, is found within the hulls of seeds, including nuts, grains and pulses.[1] In-home food preparation techniques can break down the phytic acid in all of these foods. Simply cooking the food will reduce the phytic acid to some degree. More effective methods are soaking in an acid medium, sprouting and lactic acid fermentation such as in sourdough and pickling.[17] [18] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phytic_acid
So you should ferment your oats before eating them if you want to increase their bioavailability, absorption, and offset the likelihood of distention. These are all good things, especially in terms of bioavailability, since you eat food for the nutrients they contain (though you might tell yourself otherwise).
Read through to the end for my Recipe for the best bowl of oats! –oatmeal with Chocolate protein powder, PBfit, a tiny bit of all natural PB…this is super tasty. Add cocoa nibs and we’re other worldly…
How to make Fermented Oats
- Pour 1 cup of OATS in a glass bowl, and stir in 1 cup of warm FILTERED WATER, and 2 Tablespoons 1.5 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar per cup of oats. Cover loosely, and leave overnight in the oven or a cabinet. Allow to soak for at least 7 hours and up to 24 hours.
- 2nd Step: Pour soaked oats into a mesh strainer and rinse with water. A fine strainer will work fine. This rinse seems to get rid of the ACV taste and additional phytic acid left on the oats.
- Portion into two bowls (or save some for later, ok in the refrigerator for up to a week).
- Why do fermented oats?

Train like a PRO: 8 WEEKS OUT program…designed to prime for peak performance.
WARNING: Completion of this course will likely result in you outperforming your peers, possibly causing jealousy in others because they didn’t do the WORK CONSISTENTLY, COMPETENTLY AND PROPERLY.
SIDE EFFECTS: Confidence, Discipline, Resilience, Self Determination, establish Progressive Strength Habits, Understand How Nutrition Fuels the Body For Success, addiction to self improvement…and more.
You will have to work out consistently, progressively, and follow the sound sports nutritional guide we provide–BUT the results will be undeniable and you will utilize these skills for life!
How did 8 Weeks out get its start?
I first began my journey into the gym as a cherubic 11-year-old with aspirations of becoming a professional soccer player…After 30 years of training (albeit with some massive bumps along the way), I now know so many of the things I WISH I HAD DONE DIFFERENTLY THEN AND ALONG THE WAY TO BECOME A PRO ATHLETE. (notice how I didn’t say, “I know it all.”–I don’t. No one does. I am always striving to understand and expand my knowledge–as are most trainers worth investing in…
Well, the good thing is, I have become a professional athlete. No, not a professional soccer player as I had aspired for from age 11-19. Instead, an all natural, certified, professional bodybuilder. This means I am verified to have produced a professional physique without the use of any PEDs and I complete no less than 3 re-certifications each year at competitions to validate my ALL NATURAL status. This makes me better suited to coach other athletes to compete as ALL NATURAL athletes and to improve their performance without the use of performance enhancing drugs (Pretty important if you care about your health or compete in sports that drug test–NCAA! Hello college athletes!)
My experiences as an athlete, a coach, a teacher, and a professional bodybuilder have brought me a wealth of knowledge for sports performance, nutrition, training, mobility, sport’s philosophy, and an unbridled passion for self improvement that I get to share and a knowledge base that I continually get to grow.
There are ways to utilize strength training and plyometrics to dramatically improve performance, and when coupled with a progressive implementation program, we can maximize individual potential. Complement the physical improvement with a better understanding of nutrition and a relentless sports philosophy and we have a professional training program. I have distilled these principles into the 8 WEEKS OUT program…
8 WEEKS OUT: Optimize Athletic Performance and Training Systems (Youth Athlete)
Are you a youth athlete that wants to improve your ability to perform in your sport?
Are you willing to put in the work to earn the results?
Ready to jump higher, further, faster, and with greater control?
So you want to increase your fast twitch muscles, improve strength and stamina?
Would you like to be in control of improving your PERFORMANCE?
Do you want to train like a pro?
BEEfit’s 8 week out program is the answer for you!
This is a 9 week prep program focused on improving athletic performance.
-WEEK 1: Evaluation, program outline, implementation (Set up App based trainer to support in person lessons and provide guidance if/when training independently).
WEEK 2: Train in person with coach (preferred) for each day of training split to be progressed in the 4 week plan (progresses into 2nd 4 week block of training).
-Daily review of prior days nutrition: Every day of weeks 1 and 2.
Weeks 2-5: progress initial training block of warm ups, motions, movements, and finishers–each area individualized.
WEEK 5: Evaluate progress from 4 weeks of training during last week of phase one and prepare to implement phase 2 of 2–increased focus on explosive movements, footwork, and appropriate progressions to lower and upper body based on needs.
Weeks 6-9: Week 6 it is best to train in person to set the proper expectations for each day of training going into the final phase of the program.
WARNING: WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOU BEING EXPONENTIALLY STRONGER AND FASTER THAN YOUR COMPETITION…

Fitness is an AWESOME PROMISE TO YOURSELF
What prevents you from being awesome AND keeping a promise to yourself?
1-pain: emotional and physical pain
2-forget
3-support
4-what we say to ourselves right before we are successful/talk ourselves into quitting.
Go and do what you promise to do, and it will work out. (4 reasons from Navy Seal Erik Weir)
What can we do to help you keep your promise to yourself?
Firstly: provide a program that outlines the proper route through the pain–it will be emotionally and physically painful–but it will be intentional, meaningful, and necessary to produce the change we are asking for/needing/deserving.
Secondly: Provide consistent reminders and guidance to align you with your why so that you keep your actions consistent with your goals/promise to self.
Thirdly: Prepare and potentiate for progress and consistency. Professional coaching and community support from community of like minded individuals–surround yourself with other driven and goal oriented individuals.
Lastly: By following a coordinated training program, you know where you are at on your journey and you have professional support to wisely navigate the process and work through limiting factors/sabotage/around injuries/ and other problematic variables that pop up in the journey. The only way you lose is if you quit!
Fitness is an AWESOME PROMISE TO YOURSELF.

Childhood obesity is a complex issue with multiple contributing factors. Here are some key reasons why children may become obese:
- Poor Diet: Consuming a diet high in calories, unhealthy fats, sugars, and processed foods can contribute to weight gain. Availability and easy access to sugary drinks, fast food, and snacks, as well as increased portion sizes, can lead to excessive calorie intake.
- Lack of Physical Activity: Sedentary behaviors, such as spending excessive time watching TV, playing video games, or using electronic devices, can lead to a lack of physical activity. Children who don’t engage in regular exercise or participate in sports are more likely to gain weight.
- Genetics and Family History: Some children may be genetically predisposed to obesity due to inherited traits that affect metabolism and fat storage. Additionally, if parents or close family members are overweight or obese, children may be more likely to develop similar eating and lifestyle habits.
- Environmental Factors: The surrounding environment plays a role in childhood obesity. Factors such as limited access to healthy foods, the prevalence of fast food restaurants in neighborhoods, and lack of safe spaces for physical activity can contribute to weight gain.
- Socioeconomic Status: Children from low-income families may face higher risks of obesity due to limited access to nutritious foods and fewer opportunities for physical activity. Healthy foods can be more expensive and less affordable for some families, leading to reliance on cheaper, calorie-dense processed foods.
- Emotional Factors: Emotional and psychological factors can influence a child’s eating habits. Stress, boredom, depression, or anxiety may trigger emotional eating as a coping mechanism, leading to overeating and weight gain.
- Parental Influences: Parents play a crucial role in shaping a child’s eating and exercise habits. Lack of parental knowledge about nutrition, limited time for meal preparation, or reliance on convenience foods can contribute to poor dietary choices. Moreover, parents who are overweight or obese may unintentionally model unhealthy behaviors for their children.
Addressing childhood obesity requires a multi-faceted approach involving education, creating healthier environments, promoting physical activity, and providing access to nutritious foods. It’s important to involve healthcare professionals, schools, families, and communities in efforts to prevent and manage childhood obesity.
BEEfit strives to provide wellness and fitness education, a healthy training environment, access to optimal/possible physical activities, guidance on nutritious foods and access to systems of implementation. Empowering today’s youth with the knowledge and understanding of wellness is essential–as it will improve the quality of their lives more than any other factor–more than IQ, more than “Genetics”, more than “Generational wealth”…Knowledge is power–but understanding is the proper application of power to improve. We are here to foster a better understanding of health, wellness, and how fitness plays a key role in our human development.
We provide numerous ways to access the BEEfit training principles and fully equipped gym. -Upcoming in July we have our youth program–July 10th through September 1st.
-Ongoing we have our Teen Strength Team–this is an app based training program designed by BEEfit for each individual with their goals and needs in place. This program features in person seminar support, encouraged “buddy” training accountability, discounts on personal training, and more.
