What I Wish I Knew About Health 30 Years Ago
It’s easy to look back and identify those pivotal moments that altered the course of your life.
For me, one of those turning points came when I began waking up every morning feeling exhausted - plagued by neck and back pain, overwhelming anxiety, and struggling to maintain a positive outlook.
It wasn’t just the occasional rough day; this was my new normal.
I thought feeling this way was inevitable, something beyond my control.
I was only 21...
Back then, I didn’t realize how much power I truly had over my own health.
I didn't understand that my diet, physical activity, sleep quality, and especially my gut health directly influenced my daily well-being.
I didn’t know that making intentional, consistent changes could profoundly transform both my body and mind.
This realization launched a 30-year journey of researching health, during which I invested over a million dollars in discovering how to reclaim health—and how to help others do the same.
If I Could Go Back, Here’s the Advice I’d Give Myself:
-
Move Every Day: Even a simple walk has significant benefits. Daily movement supports physical strength, joint flexibility, and mental clarity.
-
Prioritize Gut Health: Gut health is about more than digestion—it impacts mood, immunity, and overall vitality. A balanced microbiome is essential.
-
Get Complete Proteins & Essential Amino Acids: These are the building blocks for muscle, energy, and immune health. Ensuring sufficient intake is transformative.
- Quality Sleep Is Non-Negotiable: Sleep is crucial for physical and mental recovery, hormone regulation, and immune strength. Without quality sleep, overall health deteriorates rapidly.
Gut Health - The Most Overlooked Factor
This became clear after reading Super Gut by best-selling author Dr. William Davis, who explained that the health issues I'd experienced were deeply tied to my gut health—and easily fixable.
Dr. Davis emphasizes creating a "Super Gut" through homemade probiotic yogurt.
This revelation inspired me to create the Ultimate Probiotic Yogurt Maker, now widely used by many to significantly improve gut health.
If only I had known about making my own probiotic-rich "Super Gut" yogurt 30 years ago...
