Located to Texas in 1995 where I played football with James Allred. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m the National Sales Manager for a finance company. We finance recreational vehicles so that entails me traveling across the country a lot of times throughout the year and it kind of takes a toll on you after a while. I\u2019ve been doing that, in the sales aspect, for over 10 years. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I was out entertaining clients so I may be out late, I may not sleep properly\u2014things of that nature. I would feel kind of sluggish and tired at times. I didn\u2019t know what optimal was, to be honest with you. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, I knew that I was putting forth a good effort and I ate fairly decent\u2014at least I thought I did\u2014and I wasn\u2019t seeing the results in terms of my weight. I was kind of stagnant here and there. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most important thing is to make sure I\u2019m around for my kids, first and foremost. That was a big thing. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another thing was, I hadn\u2019t played football in over 15 years, so I didn\u2019t want to be just a big, stocky guy walking around. I wanted my flexibility to be better. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I just wanted to be leaner and healthier. I still wanted to have that look like I could still play even if that\u2019s not the case. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thirdly, I saw you and was like, \u201cMan, what have you been doing?\u201d and that made me ask. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019ve always known that you were in the health profession and I always had a lot of respect for you so I wanted to see what you were doing. If what I was doing was so far off, what could I do to maximize my health and getting to a better healthy situation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If I could be preventive and proactive about things, those are what I wanted to do because I didn\u2019t want to wait until it was all bad and then I had to be forced to try to correct things. I wanted to get ahead of it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When I got all of my information back and started going through it thoroughly, it was able to break down from A to Z where I was deficient or where I was over efficient and how I could streamline those things to maximize my health. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was catered to my body. It wasn\u2019t based on anybody\u2019s diet or anybody\u2019s recommendation. It was all based on me. With my Lab-Based Nutrition and my results, one thing that was brought to my attention very quickly was the food sensitivities\u2014like dairy. I had been a high consumer of cheese and things of that particular nature. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019d work out and come home from workout and drink a protein shake. It was a grass-fed, whey-based protein. Finding out I had the sensitivity to that, it was like, \u201cWow!\u201d I went and did all this work and I came back and just put stuff right back in my body that counter reacted that. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That was immediate, for me, where I could say, \u201cOkay, I can make a change right then and there on this and I think that would be beneficial to me in the long run.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Those aren\u2019t regular tests that you get from your doctor. As many times as you can do physicals, et cetera, your doctor just doesn\u2019t cover that stuff so this was an in-depth way for me to get in tune with what was going on with me. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I leaned out a lot more. My energy levels were a lot higher. I recovered better from the supplements and things like that that I was utilizing for my nutritional aspect. I started sleeping better. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I wasn\u2019t as groggy or foggy in terms of my concentration during the days or when I was traveling. I just felt better. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I thought I was healthy but then I saw the difference between what I thought was good health to where I am now in terms of really understanding and feeling like I\u2019m at an optimal level. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You pay for oil changes on your car. When your shoes wear out, you go buy new shoes. Why wouldn\u2019t you invest the same amount of money, if not more, into yourself to make sure you\u2019re taken care of? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you don\u2019t, you\u2019re going to pay for it one way or another. The question is, do you want to pay for it now or do you want to pay for it later?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Do you want to feel not just great&#8230;but optimal?
