Changing Health Exponentially

At 44 years old, I can say I’ve learned the hard way on what the human male body responds to, when it comes to activity and health patterns. I’ve tried soooo many “hacks” and have come to the simple realization that our biology dominates the equation.

  1. Walk outside in the sun
  2. Bend down, get up, carry stuff often
  3. Eat like humans did 200 years ago
  4. Hug other humans frequently
  5. Find a peer group with similar interests and be consistent
  6. Put a priority on sleep over ANYTHING in life
  7. Set the smart phone down (big one for me)

Embracing Balance: My Journey to Strength and Longevity

Image
As I swing my kettlebell towards the morning sky on this pristine beach, I’m not just working out.  I’m making a statement—a commitment to my health, for myself and for my family.  This isn’t just exercise; it’s a reflection of my life philosophy.  Every lift, every squat is a step toward being there for my beautiful wife and our three wonderful daughters for as long as I possibly can. Here at VibinLife , we believe in living a balanced life, and today, I want to share with you what that looks like for me.  It’s about more than staying fit; it’s about filling my cup so that I can be there for those I love.  If I’m not at my best, how can I give my best to my family? “You can’t take care of anyone else if your cup is not full.” This saying drives everything I do.  From each morning’s workout to every decision I make throughout the day, I’m focused on maintaining a strong foundation of health and happiness.  It’s about making a conscious choice eve...

Finding Balance: Being a Stay-at-Home Mom Who Also Wants to Work (Sometimes

Image
  Let’s be real—motherhood is a whirlwind. One moment, you're soaking in the joy of being with your kids, and the next, you're dreaming of the quiet escape of working just a little to feel like yourself again. It's a constant balancing act between living in the moment and longing for a sliver of time where you can contribute to something beyond the walls of your home. We all want to be present with our kids 24/7—after all, those precious moments pass by so quickly! But at the same time, there’s that inner tug, that voice whispering, “You want to contribute financially... and, hey, maybe do something just for you!” Oh, and let’s not forget the simple craving for a break now and then (a full cup of coffee without interruptions would be nice). 🌪️ Does this sound familiar? If you're nodding along, it's fine—really, we’re all fine! 🤣♥️ The Mom-Life Struggle is Real : But You’re Not Alone Every stay-at-home mom feels this pull—wanting to be everything for their kids and...

The Importance of Patience and Understanding for New Moms: A Two-Year Journey

Image
Did you know it can take a woman up to two full years after giving birth to feel like herself again?  It’s not just about the physical recovery—it’s about the time it takes for her hormones to return to normal, and for her brain chemistry to fully balance out. During this two-year period, many relationships struggle.  The lack of patience and understanding often leads to unnecessary stress and even separation, as both partners adjust to the significant changes in their lives.  This is a time when a new mother needs the most support and empathy. Speaking from personal experience, I’ve had three children spaced five years apart.  So, if I look at it this way, out of the last 15 years, I’ve only really been “myself” for about nine of them. That’s a long stretch of time spent recovering, adjusting, and finding balance again. The message here is simple: Be kind and patient with new moms.  The changes they’re going through are deep, and it takes time to feel whole aga...
