Here at @Walmart helping you find lean protein sources.

You need some fat in your diet, but too much saturated fat can increase LDL (bad cholesterol) and A1C levels. So what actually qualifies as a lean protein source?

✅ 10g or less of total fat per serving
✅ 4g or less of saturated fat per serving

This applies to all animal proteins—whether it’s chicken, turkey, beef, pork, or fish.

This is different from The Protein Test where we aim for 10g of protein per 100 calories. While hitting that protein ratio is important, you also want to ensure the source is lean, because you’ll naturally get enough fat from other foods in your diet.

Deadlifts are a stupid movement. Who needs to pick something up off the ground? Why is a strong lower back necessary? They don’t even work your legs.

This is something I legitimately saw when scrolling my Instagram the other day…

Let’s set the record straight. Deadlifts are about as foundational as it gets.

We pick things up off the ground all the time—whether it’s moving boxes, lifting your kid, or simply bending down to grab your dropped phone. This is not some rare, unnecessary movement; it’s part of everyday life.

As for needing a strong lower back, think about it: your lower back supports almost every movement you make throughout the day. Without it, you wouldn’t be able to function properly.

And yes, deadlifts absolutely work your legs. They target your posterior chain—hamstrings, glutes, lower back—key muscle groups that are crucial for proper body mechanics.

To claim deadlifts are pointless is just… ridiculous. Some people say things just to get attention and go viral, but it’s pure nonsense.

Deadlifts are as foundational as it gets. As long as you’re using good form and the right load, they should absolutely be part of your routine.

Most people struggle with breakfast – either due to time constraints or choosing unhealthy options.

These Sheet Pan Eggs are a recipe I’m loving recently. Easy to make, decent portion sizes, and bonkers macros.

Each serving size is roughly ⅓ of this pan (massive portions!) and at 300g (cooked weight) is 372 calories and 41g protein the macros are awesome.

🥚Ingredients:

1️⃣ Cooking spray
2️⃣ 18 eggs
3️⃣ ⅓ cup of Fairlife fat-free milk
4️⃣ Salt and pepper
5️⃣ ½ cup sliced mushrooms
6️⃣ ¼ cup sliced red peppers
7️⃣ 1 cup low-fat shredded cheddar cheese

⏲️Instructions:

1️⃣ Preheat oven to 350 and grease a 12×17 rimmed sheet pan with cooking spray, line with parchment paper, and spray again.
2️⃣ Blend eggs with milk and season with salt and pepper to taste.
3️⃣ Pour the egg mixture in the sheet pan and top with veggies and cheese.
4️⃣ Bake for about 15-18 minutes until eggs are set.
5️⃣ Allow eggs to cool, cut into 3 equal pieces, and serve.

Insurance companies are winning—but that doesn’t mean you should lose.

Let’s be real: insurance companies are raking in record profits while jacking up premiums and offering us less in return. Nothing new, right?

I constantly talk about the importance of getting your bloodwork done. I’ve shared which labs I typically request and tried to give you the confidence to advocate for yourself with your doctor.

Remember: You are an asset.

Getting lab work might feel excessive or unnecessary, but it’s one of the best investments in your long-term health. One of the biggest objections I hear is cost. If the additional panels I recommend aren’t in your budget, start with the basics—something is always better than nothing.

Another common concern? That too much testing is “harmful.” I think that’s complete nonsense. Before doing additional testing, inquire about any possible side effects and see if they pertain to you. In the case of my CCTA scan, contrast can sometimes elevate kidney function. So I spoke to my primary care physician and my concierge doctor and neither of them had concerns about going forward with the Executive Scan.

Another concern is anxiety from false-positives. As an example, from my own life, my AST and ALT have always been slightly elevated. The first step is to retest your labs which I went ahead and did. I had multiple panels coming back with my liver functions slightly elevated. At this point, I talked to my doctor about getting a sonogram on my liver. The results of this additional testing via sonogram came back perfectly normal. Now, I have peace of mind that my liver is fine and have increased confidence that my AST and ALT are elevated due to working out so intensely.

It’s always important to defer to expertise, your doctor; however, don’t be afraid to advocate for yourself or to get a second opinion. More information isn’t dangerous but ignorance can be. Yes, excessive testing can lead to anxiety, but it can also catch something early. And when it comes to your health, the risk is almost always worth the reward—especially if you have the means to do so.

Be proactive. Get tested. Take control of your health.
