Sleep, energy, stress, weight. It usually starts with what you eat.
I build diets people can actually sustain. Food you like, at times that fit your day. It holds up through travel and weeks that get away from you. My goal is to teach you how this all works without the noise.
If your days are dragging or you're leaning on coffee to get through it, start here.
I'm an ACE Certified Nutrition Specialist. What you eat, and when, is the input I work on most.
§ Who's talking
I used to weigh 240 pounds and drove a truck full time. I lost about 50 of it, left the truck, built a following, and burned my nervous system out keeping it all going. I got certified in nutrition and nobody taught me how the nervous system actually works, so I learned it myself. What I found was food and timing matter most. Put the right sources in at the right time and your energy comes back, your sleep quality improves, and stress settles down. That’s food’s purpose. I’m a trainer and a certified nutrition specialist, and this is what we work on.
Five daily inputs run your sleep, your energy, your stress and your weight. The quiz tells you which one is first.
01
NUTRITION
Odds are you're running the day on empty and making up for it at night.
02
STRUCTURE
Your days probably don't repeat, so your body never knows when the next real meal is coming.
03
RECOVERY
You may be draining all day and you're supposed to be recharging overnight, you're not. So you wake up already behind.
04
STIMULATION
Caffeine may be doing the job your food should be doing. That energy's borrowed, so it runs out by mid-afternoon.
05
STRESS
Maybe the pressure never really lets up, and you can't come down even when the day's over.
§ 02 / WHY YOU FEEL THIS WAY
Think about a bodybuilder before a show. They stress their nervous system so hard they look flat, and the second the food goes in they look the best they ever will. That’s exactly how your body works. Put the right sources in at the right time and that’s when you feel your best, your energy comes back, your sleep improves. Stress is about regulating and stabilizing, and that’s food’s job.
§ 03 / WHAT FIXES IT
We fix your diet, and we build it to last. Food you like, at times your day actually allows. It has to be sustainable or you will never maintain it.
§ 04 / HOW I'D HELP YOU
I look at your last few weeks the way they actually went.
We confirm and pick the one input that's currently the issue first.
We build the fix around your real schedule. I teach you, until it holds, even on a bad week.
When my meniscus tore he coached me through the entire thing. Honestly trust him more than the doctor.

Thirty minutes. I read your answers before we get on, we go through what your weeks actually look like, and you leave with the plan. At the end, if you want help running it, ask and I'll lay out what that looks like. If not, you keep the plan and run it yourself.
Right after the quiz: your read, which input is first, all five ranked, and the Effin Week so you can log the next seven days against it. After the call: your first move, you can start it that day.
§ 07 / IF YOU'D RATHER RUN IT YOURSELF
Join the family.
If you're the type to run it yourself, get into EFFINCUT Mafia: there's protocols in there for whatever you're struggling with and I'm always adding something new. This is the same stuff I walk clients through, and you get your own account, free. Morning Stabilization protocol is a gift from me to you, and so is your first built session. Just type in what's going on and if anything is hurting and a workout is built from the library. Your email gets you in.
