We've spent billions on veteran suicide prevention. Suicide rates are getting worse. Maybe we're solving the wrong problem. I spent 15 years in the Army. 6 years building an audience around veteran health. And I'm a biochemist. It took me embarrassingly long to connect those dots. Veterans don't have a mental health problem. They have a biology problem. → 650% increase in insomnia since 2003 → 78% have chronic stress issues → 70x more likely to have low testosterone → 65% experience chronic pain When your cells can't produce energy, your brain — which burns 20% of it — is the first casualty. No amount of awareness campaigns fixes that. So I built something that might. The Biology of Service Symposium is a free, one-day online event bringing together experts in mTBI, trauma recovery, men's health, plant medicine, and veteran transition. Not to raise awareness. To actually fix things. Free to attend. Tomorrow afternoon. Hurry, doors close soon. Lock in your replay access and prize giveaways. https://site.hardtokill.org/biologyofservice

Alright team — Monday Moment of Health is getting an upgrade. I’m running a full-day online event called Biology of Service on March 21st and it’s built for one thing: Helping veterans stop feeling like garbage in a way that actually makes sense. Not “manifest harder.” Not “just be positive.” Not “here’s a 97-step morning routine, good luck.” 👨‍🔬This is the science + lived experience version. The kind you can actually use. ❓What Is It ❓ Biology of Service (Symposium) = a lineup of experts tackling the stuff most vets are quietly dealing with: - Identity & moral injury (the “who the hell am I now?” problem) - Brain health / concussion legacy (fog, mood swings, irritability, fatigue) - Sexual health as a health signal (yes, we’re going there — because grown-ups do) - Nervous system regulation & embodied healing (how to get your body out of red alert) - Transition & advocacy (agency, ownership, rebuilding after service) - Neuroplasticity & rewiring (how change actually happens — safely, intelligently) ❓Why this matters (especially for our community)❓ A lot of vets treat their health like an administrative task they’ll “get to later.”And then later shows up with chronic pain, low energy, bad sleep, extra weight, short fuse… and a whole lot of “I don’t feel like myself.” This event is designed to help you connect the dots: What you’re feeling → why it’s happening → what to do next. Here’s the deal This isn’t a motivation party. This is a mission brief for your body and brain. 👇You’ll leave with: - practical actions you can start that same day - better questions to ask your doc / care team - a clearer sense of what’s “normal,” what’s fixable, and what needs attention - a plan that doesn’t require you to become a monk who eats quinoa in silence ❗Register today ❗ READ ABOUT THE PRESENTERS If you’ve been telling yourself: - “I’m fine” (while your sleep is trash) - “I just need more discipline” (while your nervous system is smoked) - “It’s probably nothing” (while your body keeps waving red flags)

I've been quietly building something that hasn't been done in the veteran space before. It's going to be educational and level up your health and you might win some cool home gym gear (maybe some hot sauce too). Do you want to know what it is?

Last push! I’ve been riding the carb wagon a bit more lately since I got back to my BJJ program. However, to avoid a painful cut in March, I’m going to casually lose body fat one spoonful of Meat 🍖 at a time. Who’s ready to do a weekend fast to finish strong?💪🏻

Back at it with my coach Marc Ste Marie. This pic is pre roll. I’m posting this while patching up my wounds. Anyone here a lover of the homoerotic, autistic sport we call BJJ? New episode of the podcast dropping about it today 👀
