How you live you day is how you live your life.  So, if you want to live your best life in your second of your life then we need to approach our fueling, training and daily performance in life slightly differently that we used to do in our previous years.

Let’s work on creating our FUTURE SELF today instead of waiting until we are burned out, broken and struggling each day.

Join me in training for the biggest endurance event we can compete for… its called LIFE.

Listen to the podcast interview I recently recorded with my friend Peter Defty- the creator of OFM:  Optimal Fat Metabolism.  See video at end of blog post.

“Let’s not have a suffer fest at our finish line!”

Are  you feeling as an aging, burned out, and broken down athlete who is struggling to get the desired results even when trying to do all the right things you hear or read about?

I have a suggestion for you.

We are all aging up each day but we have a choice how we want to feel, look and act each day.

Yes, we have choices and we need to make those choices everyday that enhance the aging process and improve our longevity.  That may include adjusting how you fuel up each day, how you prioritize your sleep, how you approach your scheduled workout that day, and how you train for an event or big race.

We should adjust our fueling and training plans in our 40’s, 50’s and up different that how we would in our 20’s and 30’s.  In other words, fuel and train each day to improve your FUTURE self, rather than your past self.  Or as I say daily, STRIVE to THRIVE each day as an aging athlete, rather than just SURVIVING the day.

That brings me to the three step process I coach my clients how to become a fat adapted athlete then work on providing the tools (The WHOLESTIC Method coaching program) how to become a more INTUITIVE athlete on how they approach their fueling, training and performance in life and sports.

I didn’t know I was unhappy, until I changed my entire life in spring of 2020 (yes, right in the middle of the pandemic).

What are you doing today to take care of your self today to set up yourself for success in your later years of life?

Take action now.

Don’t wait until you are a burned out, broken athlete with “METABOLIC CHAOS” in your body as I did from “Living Life as a Race” for some many years!

The WHOLESTIC Method Coaching program was born from my experience, journey and education.  I coach up athletes to look their best, feel their best and perform their best in life – as an aging athlete who loves to exercise, be active and play outside as I do each day.

Find out in a complimentary discovery call with me here if you relate to my story, my purpose and my passion- as I am on a mission to help other driven athletes dig themselves out of the sinking hole before it is too late!

Watch and learn what the ketogenic diet may look like for you is different for me!  Plus I am prioritizing my protein intake over eating high fat!  You are an individual.  What does your body need as you age up as an athlete?  Female athletes are different than male athlete guidelines!

Link to my podcast interview chat with Peter Defty on OFM: Fat Adaptation to get your body to BURN FAT over eating fat.  We want to BURN FAT – which doesn’t mean to over consume FAT to burn your own stored body fat.  As an athlete- our guidelines to keto endurance, fat adaptation and strategic carbohydrates (real food vs. processed food) is different when you are metabolically fit athlete!  Aerobic capacity in increased, energy production, mitochondria (Fat Metabolism) – improves our ability to burn fat at higher levels.  We still want to have the back up reserve of CARBS for back up “rocket fuel” on race day as we race to the finish line or need to do a major high intensity surge to get ahead.

I am on a mission to help coach up the burned out, broken aging athlete who is doing too much in life and ends up struggling with unexplained weight gain, fatigue, poor recovery and METABOLIC CHAOS.

I coach both men and women over 40 (I just turned 5-0) that are similar to myself…driven, ambitious, high performing individuals who thrive with “more is better” and need to learn about “less is more”!

In 2016, so long ago now, I shared my personal story in a book called “LIFE IS NOT A RACE- It is a Journey”.  I am now finally able to focus on sharing my journey to help other driven athletes avoid going through what I did to myself.

Let’s chat soon,
