Today is Thanksgiving in Canada, and like most holidays, people often talk about the joy of family gatherings and the delicious food.

But if I asked you right now, what are you thankful for, what would your answer be?

Have you ever thought about how being thankful could actually benefit your health?

As I get older, I’ve noticed that my body isn’t quite the same as it was in my 20s. My workouts feel different—I don’t run as fast, I can’t lift as much, and my recovery takes longer than it used to.
What about you?

Have you noticed any changes in your own health or fitness as the years go by?

These changes are a natural part of life, but they’ve also shown me just how much thankfulness can positively impact many areas of my life, including my physical health.

Here’s how gratitude has helped me:

1. Appreciating What You Can Still Do�Aging is inevitable, but it doesn’t have to be negative. Staying active has shown me that I’m still capable of many things I could do 10 or even 20 years ago. Acknowledging what I can do—rather than focusing on what I can’t—keeps me grounded and grateful.

2. Boosting Motivation�Working with clients who have long-term health goals—sometimes taking 3, 6, or more months to achieve—has taught me the power of gratitude for small victories. Celebrating these small wins keeps people motivated on their journey. I believe many people lose motivation because they don’t recognize or celebrate these smaller accomplishments along the way to their bigger goals.

3. Encouraging Better Self-Care�How do you treat something you value? Most of us take better care of things we truly appreciate. When you're thankful for your body and where you are right now, you're more likely to prioritize self-care. This could be in areas like sleep, nutrition, or managing stress.

Whether you’re celebrating Thanksgiving today or not, take a moment to reflect: What are you thankful for?

Let me start by saying that regular visits to your family doctor are essential. Just like your birthday, doctor visits are milestones to track changes and see where adjustments can be made. If you go yearly, you can compare key metrics like blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, weight, etc.

Personally, I was diagnosed a few years ago as pre-diabetic, but I was able to make changes and no longer face that issue.

However, as valuable as yearly check-ups are, I’ve realized that there are certain things your doctor might not tell you.

1. Lifestyle Changes Are Often More Effective Than Medications: While doctors may prescribe medication to manage conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes, many won't emphasize that significant improvements can often be achieved through lifestyle changes such as diet, exercise, and stress management. It’s sometimes quicker or easier to prescribe medication than to delve deeply into long-term lifestyle adjustments.

2. Your Weight on the Scale Only Tells Part of the Story: My doctor, like many others, would often just weigh me and suggest I lose a few pounds (or keep my weight under 200 lbs). What my doctor didn’t fully understand was that I regularly lifted weights. If he had checked my body fat percentage, he would have seen that much of my weight was muscle, not fat.

3. Overprescription Is Common: In certain healthcare systems, there may be pressure to prescribe medications, even when lifestyle changes or more conservative approaches could be just as effective. Some doctors might not stress that not every condition requires a prescription, especially with mild or early-stage illnesses (like my pre-diabetes).

Don't Punt On 2024 Yet

10/01/2024

The unique aspect of aging is that we get to witness ourselves and those around us go through various phases and stages of life.

I can still recall events from primary school—how about you?

While getting older is often seen in a negative light, it doesn’t have to be, especially if you're proactive about your health.

One of the best things about the fall weather is still warm enough if you live in a cold climate but cool enough if you live in hot one, which makes it easier to stay fit and flexible.

But why is this important? Here are 5 key reasons:

1. Reducing Aches and Pains
As the weather cools and we transition into fall, it's common to feel more aches, particularly from arthritis. There's a saying: "Motion is lotion," meaning that staying active helps to keep your joints loose and can ward off those annoying aches and pains.

2. Maintaining Independence
Physical fitness plays a crucial role in maintaining independence, yet it's often underestimated. How often do you find yourself lifting, pushing, or pulling things around the house? And if the elevator is out of service, would you be comfortable climbing a few flights of stairs?

3. Boosting Energy
With shorter days and less sunlight, staying active is essential for maintaining your energy levels. A walk along the street is a fantastic way to feel revitalized as we ease into the fall season.

4. Managing Weight
Staying active is one of the most effective ways to keep your metabolism running efficiently. A faster metabolism helps your body burn calories even when you're at rest. In contrast, hibernating through the winter can quickly lead to unwanted weight gain.

5. Improving Balance
While walking in the summer feels easy, fall and winter bring new challenges. Good balance will help you avoid slips and falls when navigating obstacles like fallen leaves, muddy paths, or icy terrain.

Have you ever felt like you wanted to make working out a regular habit but just can’t seem to find the time?

This morning, I knew I only had 30 minutes to work out before my day started.

What do you normally do in this situation? Work out or push it to tomorrow?

I’ve been in this position many times, and whenever I push it to later, it usually doesn’t get done.

Does this happen to you too?

I’m not perfect, but over the years, I’ve developed a few tricks to make my workouts not just efficient, but effective.

Here are my 3 tricks. (By the way, #3 is what I did today.)

1. Look for small ways to stay active – take the stairs, do quick stretching breaks, or even walk while on phone calls. These little movements add up and can help increase your overall calorie expenditure.

2. Opt for Compound Movements – Exercises that work multiple muscle groups at once, like burpees or kettlebell swings, burn more calories in less time by engaging your whole body.

3. Plan Strength Circuits – Pick 7 exercises and do them one after the other with no rest. Repeat the circuit at least 2 more times with a 2-minute rest between each circuit.

If you’ve struggled with finding time to work out, what are your main reasons why? Let me know 👇

Hey All: I officially decided in the next six months we are going to help more 10 people who are 40+ drop 20 lbs in just four months.

And I’m pretty pumped about it!

We have officially opened 4 spots into our *Upgraded* Vitality program.

And no, this isn’t some marketing BS, there is more 1:1 support, so we’re unwilling to bring on any more than 4.

So, what’s going on inside *Upgraded* Vitality PROGRAM:

I’ll tell you this. If you’re sick and tired of cookie-cutter coaches with ‘workout apps’, generic nutrition advice, and low to no 1:1 support..I get it.

I have built out the blueprint I wish I had when Janet was stuck 20 lbs heavier than she is now, secretly daydreaming of finding the ‘perfect solution’.

And the results I am most proud of in our community:

🏆 People going through job and family changes and still maintaining their weight loss

🏆 Feeling pain free and able to do activities better and easier

🏆 Building confidence, and having more day to day energy

🏆 Dropping two jeans sizes in less than a year

🏆 F**ting back into clothes you wore 10+ years ago

Now after these last four spots are filled, prices are going UP.

And before that happens, you get access to three bonuses (valued at ~$1,000).

👉 Goodbye Binge ($297 value) - a secret framework to end the binging once and for all.

👉Eat out Effortlessly ($147 value) - a simple guide to eat out, lose weight, guilt free.

👉 And the first TWO people to apply and enroll will get a 1-1 Implementation call with me ($500 value).

Sound like something that could help you?

📣 If you want info on how to apply for a spot, DM me “UPGRADE” and I’ll send over details.

I have zero incentive to high-pressure sell.. I’ll be the first to tell you if it’s not a fit.

PS. If you’re looking for a COACH to be your saviour…this is not for you

Need some overused BS guarantee to be a YES? We are not the fit for you.

Need me to sell you on why you should be a YES with us? Again, not the community for you.

Need to “wait for the right time” to afford it? It’s not the right offer for you.

And if the above sounds like the opposite of you, DM me with “UPGRADE”.

Vitality Program *Upgrade* Announcement

I’ve created the roadmap that helped Janet shed over 25 lbs (and build muscle), and maintain that for over a year and counting.

Because I get it..I remember how frustrating it is to be 40+, only to see your body get softer.

She actually told me a few weeks ago “Losing weight was a challenge and there were many times that I didn’t seem up to it.”

Janet felt that she should be able to figure this out on her own!

But couldn’t.

Thankfully, that low point led her to where she is today.

She said a few weeks ago…

Vitality has kept me focused and given me the tools to continue to accomplish over 25lbs since I started

The *Upgraded* Vitality Program is the blueprint Janet used to shed body fat, increase her energy and reduce aches and pains.

And this isn’t just “another course” or “fitness app.”

It’s a proven weight loss system for folks over 40 that is simple and sustainable.

Our most successful clients are:

✅ Coachable - READY to grow

✅ Committed - ALL IN on their goals

✅ Consistent - EXCITED to implement

On the flipside, if you’re lazy and unmotivated, this isn’t for you.

Inside this Method, you’ll learn the:

👉 Vitality Eating Method: We remove ALL the guesswork and teach you what and how much to eat

👉 Foolproof Fitness Plan: A fitness plan so simple, you will not believe how fast the results come

👉 Self Mastery Toolkit: Frameworks to rewire your brain and create a new identity

👉 1% Better Model: The exact blueprint that will teach you how to accomplish MORE in less time

👉 Dietary DNA: Personalizing your nutrition based on your work, family obligations, and stress levels

This is the LOWEST price Vitality will ever be (Price goes UP next week)

Lastly, BONUS TRAININGS I’m stoked about:

Goodbye Binge ($297 value) - a secret framework to end the binging once and for all

Eat out Effortlessly ($147 value) - a simple guide to eat out, lose weight, guilt free

And FINALLY, an incentive to take action if you’re feeling called to it:

The first TWO people to apply and enroll will get a 1-1 Implementation call with me (we normally charge $500 for this)

📣 To apply, comment with Vitality.

P.s. if this isn’t a fit, we will be the first to tell you. We are only willing to work with the right person.

A BIG upgrade coming to Vitality next week!

We’ve never done something like this before.

Details drop on Monday.

How many of you would want to accomplish something significant without having to go through any struggle, pain or drawback?

I know your answer because mine is Me, Me and Me.

While most people, including me, don’t like drawbacks, what I’ve learned is they are necessary not just for the result, but who you become because of them.

On Friday I was speaking to Janet who I’ve helped for over 2 years, focusing on losing weight and I can tell you that it hasn’t always been easy for her.

She actually told me “Losing weight was a challenge and there were many times that I didn’t seem up to it. Meeting with Eric has kept me focused and given me the tools to continue to accomplish over 25 lbs since we started.”

So why is this important to life and weight loss?

1. Sustainability -Going through challenging times on the way to a goal is like a road map. Once you learn how to get there, it’s easier to know how to get back.

2. Confidence -Accomplishing small goals on the way to a bigger one builds confidence. Before I met them, most people I have worked with tried many ways to lose weight that haven’t worked long term. Ultimately, they lacked confidence in trying again.

3. Gratitude - In the midst of any struggle we just want it to be over, but how do you feel once you come out on the other side?

I know everyone’s life struggles are different. However, I believe the challenges we all face are just as important as the final goal.

Based on the response I thought it would be good to do a 5 day Water Drinking Challenge. I will tag all those who were interested in my post from last week (see comments)

We are going to start on this Thursday August 15th and go to the 19th for a minimum of 5 glasses a day (you can drink more if you want)

Here are the Rules

1. Drink a glass when you wake up
2. Drink a glass with or before every meal
3. Find one time other than a meal to have 1 more glass

After each day send me a message here http://m.me/eric.daw.9 to tell me how many glasses you had for the day.

If you would like to take part and didn’t say “ME” below to

At the end of the challenge I will give each person who finishes the challenge 15 minutes of free coaching.

If you could, would you be interested?

The reason I ask is that many people who want to lose weight find it a struggle to get it off and make it sustainable.

What I was thinking requires no fad diets, no starvation, or even having to exercise.

I think real change should be sustainable.

Unfortunately, I have seen many try diets with no success or short-term success coupled with more weight coming back than before.

Once I gave Janet this advice to make this change, she currently is at the lowest weight in years.

What is this change?

Drinking Water!!! And Here’s Why

1. It makes you feel more full.
2. It gets rid of extra calories from other beverages.
3. Boosts your metabolism

Not convinced yet?

Well, I was thinking of starting a 5-day Water Challenge Next Week specifically for people who have at least 5 lbs to lose

If you would like to take part, please put the word “Water” in the comments below and if we have at least 5 people, I will announce the day we start on Monday.

Have you ever felt it was too late to start focusing on your health? Getting Stronger, Losing Weight, Feeling Less Stiff etc …

In all honesty, this is probably one of the most often questions I get asked.

Maybe you are in your 40, 50 or 60+, and you feel resigned to things never changing

In most cases the individual asking is at a point of frustration with their own health with not much hope or optimism.

Possibly you have tried getting healthier and you achieved some short term results but it was always hard to make them sustainable (See most diet plans).

However when I got an email from Mary last week it provided the answer

Mary was someone who I worked with for several years before she moved into a independent residence

This is what she said:

“𝗛𝗶 𝗘𝗿𝗶𝗰

𝗜'𝗺 𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗶𝘀 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘀𝗼 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗮𝘁 𝟭𝟬𝟱 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗜 𝗱𝗼? 𝗜 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝗚𝗖𝗼𝘁𝗛𝗶𝗹𝗹. 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗲𝘅𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗜 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆, 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗖𝗢𝗩𝗜𝗗”

If you are not 105 years old like Mary then there is still time. But what are you going to do with it?

If you fall into the category of needing to make changes and don’t want to feel like it’s too late. Please put “ME” in the comments below
