Health, fitness, and whatever I'm curious about this week.
I'm Maxx, the guy behind @maxx.vitality. I break down health, fitness, and longevity topic in a way that's easy to understand, without the fear mongering or the supplement pitches. Usually from my desk, sometimes from the gym, and always from North Idaho.
What I'm into
I'm all about nailing the big stuff before worrying about the small stuff. Things like hybrid training (strength training + cardio, ideally with mobility and flexibility work), eating real food, dialing in your sleep, drinking less, staying mindful, and having a sense of purpose. Once those are locked in, then it's fun to play with the smaller levers like sauna, seed oils, cookware, and microplastics. I'm not against any of it, I just think it's easy to get lost in the noise when the basics will do most of the heavy lifting, pun intended.
How I Look at Health
Basics First
Sleep, training, real food, and purpose do most of the work. I'd rather help you nail those than chase the latest trend.
Health should make your life better, not take it over. Some days are dialed in and some aren't, and that's part of it.
If the research is mixed, I'll say so. If I use or recommend something, I'll tell you why and be upfront about it.
