Description

Where did the Pillars of Health come from? After seeing a picture of myself at my wedding, I was not impressed with how I looked. I had let myself go. I thought I understood health and nutrition. I was strong and I was able to pass the Army's Fitness Test, but I was nowhere near healthy. I was nowhere near the person I knew I could be. How do we reach our goals? What is health? How can I navigate the health and wellness landscape?These days, there is so much (mis)information that we can easily get lost in the confusion. This book aims to answer those questions above and more. Many people get too caught up in the type of diet they need, the one food, the one trick, or the magic supplement to get the results they want. Most successful nutritional interventions actually have more in common than we might think - they cut out processed foods and focus on quality, nutrient dense foods. Plus, they are often coupled with some sort of consistent exercise regimen.If we all committed to this, we would likely see a drastic shift in health. But is that enough? I would argue that it is not which is why we many of us have a hard time maintaining our ideal weight. There are other factors we must master if we truly wish to be healthy and reach our potential, and the habits presented here can help you do just that. It is my hope that this book will help you balance the Four Pillars so that you may perform at your highest potential. Every elite coach and athlete out there knows that success comes from mastering the fundamentals, and the habits presented here are the fundamental habits essential to health.
