What I eat in a day while in Florida?

My most common protein sources are egg, beef, & collagen peptides. Here is the protein count for common servings sizes:

Protein Guide

Egg
1 = 6 grams of protein

Beef
4 ounces = 20 grams of protein

Collagen peptides
2 scoops = 11 grams protein

What I have eaten so far today 5:15 PM
2 eggs = 12 grams protein
8 ounces beef = 40 grams protein
2 scoops collagen peptides = 11 grams protein

Total: 63 grams protein

42 grams still needed for goal of 105 grams protein!

I did not start eating early enough (noon) because I am full. So I may or may not get
42 grams more in today.

I want to stop eating at 7PM to avoid eating 3 hours before bed and to go watch the 🌅 sunset.

Every few days, I will share a variety of protein sources and the protein count. These are just some of my most common go-to’s and today’s tally at 5PM.

Prioritize Protein!!!

10:23 Invitation to Join the Oral Systemic Revolution

Well, if you've been waiting for the Oral Systemic Movement to take on, it is happening now. This is the 1st time we have a university. hosting an oral systemic event. We have Lincoln Memorial University reconnecting medicine and dentistry.

Yes, you heard me right. You can reverse that, but I'm going to say it again. We have them co-hosting us at the IDM Scholar Society, and they're going to be hosting it at the medical school with, in partnership, the dental school. So, that's right. We're bringing the two entities back together and it's going to be amazing. You're going to hear speakers that you have not heard before and that you can't hear just anywhere else.

We're going to have a lot of fun, but I think this is a really unique experience because people kind of sit back and like, well, I'm kind of waiting to see how this oral systemic takes off.

Yeah, or like, happened to me, I kept going to courses on oral systemic year after year, literally for years, and we come back and maybe try a thing or two, but it never took off like implementation.

We have it built up to be something difficult and now that you and I are working together, Lora, on patients real time, it's not hard. It's easy, it's enjoyable, better patient outcomes like we can't say enough about it. And we don't want everybody to struggle the way that we've struggled to figure this out because it's simple.

And it's, well, we know it's not, I'm sorry to say the wave of the future, but it's the future here now. In fact, if you're not implementing it into your practice, then you're not really doing the very best for your patients. It's just the truth, and you could have a better bottom line, improve your bottom line.

We're going to talk about all of that at the symposium, bringing together several different disciplines, and several different specialties within dentistry, several different specialties within medicine, to come together and actually talk about cases and talk about boots on the ground. How did we do this? How are we doing this? What did we learn? Don't do it that way because it doesn't work. So what does work? What doesn't work? How to make money at it. And most importantly, how to save lives.

And, there's no other symposium like it. And as everyone knows probably that's listening to this. And if you don't, I'll tell you that we had the 1st IDM annual symposium last year, and it was a huge success. Rave reviews, and everyone said, "We'll be back." And now, it's even better. We're doing all of that and more, combining it with the university and with both the medical school and the dental school. It's going to be very exciting and you're going to be so glad you came.

And I say so glad you came, but Lora, I'm even more excited that for those who absolutely cannot, there's a virtual option. So, we're going to have an equally engaging online live streaming with an active chat and live access to the support team, etc. So, even if you can't get away, get this on demand course.

We hope you can come because, of course, everything's always better when you're actually there and networking and in the room and meeting with people and and visiting all of our fabulous sponsors, which we'll talk more about later, our partners, if you will. And that list is still growing of the partnership involved.
Anyway, it's going to be a symposium. You don't want to miss whether you can come, first choice, or join us online. It's going to be well worth your time and money. And I'm sure that the recordings will be available too.
And it's really about networking people who are already doing this. So, hearing the strategies, hearing what works, what doesn't work, and just what I'm talking about, this whole trend that we have a university that is taking oral systemic and putting it into practice and be able to see what is happening on the cutting edge of what is taking place.
So, I hope everyone will join us May 17th and 18th. It will be held at the Lincoln Memorial University right there in Knoxville, Tennessee.

The 7 Benefits Of My Journey So Far in Intermittent Fasting

This post is a wrap-up of the benefits of my Intermittent Fasting journey so far and why it works so well. Definitely better than any other eating regime I have tried.

It is the easiest one to stick with by a long shot, and from everything I have researched, it seems to have the most long-term and short-term benefits as well. Not by just a little bit, but by an overwhelming amount. This is also evidenced by my own results as well with this experiment.

It is is still early on yet, although at this time, behaviorally it is the greatest single impactful change I have ever made in my life. The enormity of this is still sinking in because it impacts every area of my life.

I am going to list them from the start of my day.

1. I wake up without morning fog, and my brain is fully engaged. Usually I will wake up in the middle of a thought process. Which is totally new for me. I will be aware of my surroundings, be in the middle of thinking about something, and be able to recall the rest of the previous chain of thoughts from when I was still sleeping. Now, this is separate from dreams, which I can recall more vividly as well. I have never heard of this before, nor experienced this and it is now a regular thing.

2. I wake up in a good mood full of energy.

3. I do not wake up thinking about breakfast or food.

4. I am able to get into 6th gear right away and tackle high-level problem solving right out of the gate.

5. Physically I feel and look so much better. Just the overall sense of well being is at least 50% higher the pre-iF. My skin looks better, I am a lot leaner, and my stamina has increased.

6. Emotional stability. I would say the baseline level of my sense of well-being is much higher than pre-iF. I just don’t get bummed out about things anymore. This is in part due to the higher levels of good hormones brought about by iF.

7. My income has gone up, and my sense of enjoyment from my work is way, way, way up. I am having a blast doing my work. Not that I did not before, but I wake up excited and can’t wait to work on my projects and help my customers. The only downside is that because I have become the energizer bunny, I have a tendency to push it past optimal times of work because I am so excited, but I am curbing that and making sure I get enough sleep because I know I am that much better at serving my clients with more sleep.

So all in all, Intermittent Fasting really has been a life changer and that pretty much covers it.
Go 6th Gear!
Cheers,
Andrew

OK, you have to watch the Sales, but Aldi's has boneless prime rib for $8.99 a pound. Depending on where you live, this can easily be $10 less per pound.
If you have never cut them up before, here is how you do it from start to finish. Do not cut any fat off kids!

If You Know What Day It Is, You Are Not Busy Enough. Day #46 Update. | #intermittent Fasting # Health # Making Money #6th Gear

Back to SQUATS! Why squats? We know building muscle is critically important for the future we all desire: for life span, health span, and your personal "fill in the blank" span. Performing squats in our daily exercise routine or at various times through-out the day will give us the ability to play with or speak with children (like the woman in this pic), garden, clean, organize, get something out of the bottom drawer or cabinet, change a tire, get in and out of a chair or off the floor EVEN WHEN WE ARE 90, 100, and BEYOND. Squats are a great way to build those larger leg, thigh, and glute muscles to protect us from breaking a hip and maintain the mobility and independence we want for our ENTIRE life. We must start now! I have done 20 to 60 squats daily for the past 7 days. My goal for this week, starting today, is 100 squats per day. If you are with me, start with a set of 5 or 10 at one time, (or more, whatever is comfortable for you) and perform these "sets" of 5, 10, 20 or more several times through-out the day.

Good video here exposing click bait pseudoscience studies that I thought I’d share. The study “claims” there’s a 91% increase of heart attack when doing intermittent fasting.

Day 2,996
Ribeye for lunch,
200 Squats and taking a break with the rest today.
Who knew doing zooms all day could wear you out?

1# hamburger, 6 eggs, some mushrooms mixed with 1/4 cup HalfnHalf so far and some salami. Feeling good and was in 6th gear pretty much all day. Got a press release out and another website and finished up another Ai Certification. So good day.

The Inflammation Triad: Airway

0: 00 We’re Exposed to Toxins Everyday
1:15 How Dangerous is The Mouth?
3:36 Periodontal Treatment is Vital
8: 01 How Do We Develop Periodontal Disease?
10:18 Myths About Periodontal Disease

There are so many things that are toxic to us, but yet we're allowing ourselves to be exposed every day and then not testing for some of the things there that can be tested for. We first need to remove the toxins, but that's not good enough.

Let's look at how dangerous the mouth is. In fact, oral cancer ranks as the 13th most common cancer worldwide. And so we have to understand that many of these triggers of causation are from the oral bacteria.

Oral bacteria can actually cross the placental barrier. And so they are named in many things like infertility, intrauterine infections, preterm birth, low term birth rate, and unfortunately, even fetal death.

How about brain health? Dr. Pritchard explained that vascularly, how that can cross over, but these oral pathogens have been deeply studied and shown to kill off brain cells. They help in the creation of those amyloid plaques and they can even induce brain inflammation.

All of us should be well versed in diabetes and insulin resistance because of the statistic around this. It's very startling that if you have been diagnosed with diabetes, you're about 90 percent more likely to get periodontal disease.

These are my five children. And I'm going to ask you, which one is a diabetic? I'm going to let you know from a mother's point of view. Yes, it's my little guy, my youngest there. He is a type one diabetic and it's really opened my eyes into this correlation of infection and inflammation.
But what I want dental colleagues to hear, and even my physicians and MDs, that just treating the periodontal disease, we don't even have to talk about how good the treatment is, just actually doing some level of treatment can help our diabetics, whether type one or type two, lower their A1Cs by 1%. That is more than many times what our lifestyle and diet can do. Also treating periodontal disease can decrease the related deaths by 21% and we will save an average diabetic patient about $5,000 a year.
Our airway to these pathogens to these plaques. Look at the highway there that is so easily accessible. And so we have all these statistics. You are 70% more likely to develop Alzheimer's if you've been struggling with any level of periodontal disease for 10 years or more.

95% of Americans with diabetes also have periodontal disease. We can increase our premature death rate by 12% higher risk. We've heard today how 50% of heart attacks and strokes are triggered by these oral pathogens. And as far as our fertility and infertility, we have a 7x increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Look what it resulted in lower medical costs for our diabetics, for coronary artery disease and our cerebral vascular disease. How big of a lower what I'm going to say lower costs and lower risk.

Let's look at risk first look at these percentages. They are from 29% here. all the way to 24%. This is a greater reduction than what many patients can get with medication. We need to be aware of that. How about the medical cost reduction? Look at these numbers. These are huge. We're talking double digits here, thousands of dollars. And look at the percentages.
You can have a huge impact on your patient's life because some of the most stressful things that we deal with are these inflammatory diseases, but the cost associated with that. So we can track this, that we're not only reducing risk, but reducing those health costs. Let's understand we're talking about early treatment. We have to look for disease early.

How do we even develop periodontal disease? I want you to understand this three step process that happens. The first thing is what we've been talking about. We have to get pathogens. They have to colonize. They have to show up. That is that first phase of dysbiosis.

Once we have the pathogens there, then they start the host response of this chronic inflammatory response. That response doesn't go away. It is called chronic inflammation. All these inflammatory processes that we're talking about, that inflammatory process then ignites that bone loss. It's actually attacking itself because we don't stop the inflammatory process and that byproduct is we lose bone.

We lose bone in the jaw and mainly around the teeth. When that happens, we call it periodontal disease because that's the name of when you have bone loss. So how do you actually get these pathogens? I want you to understand the bacterial shift to health, to dysbiosis. And so as you're looking here in "healthy", we have these early colonizers. All these in this green section are called early colonizers or considered healthy species. It's not until they are not removed on a regular basis and have to start over.
