Asystem Superhuman Supplements

My journey with supplements feels as though its been long, challenging and expensive. It was after my first ACL tear that I began trying specific foods, supplements and superfoods to help with recovery, then performance and then recovery. In recent years I’ve scaled back drastically on supplements, but for the next 30 days I’d decided to try Asystem’s Superhuman Supplement program. Packing an incredible punch with a daily dose of 5 capsules in the morning, it includes DHEA, Omega-3, Q-10, Iodine, KSM-66 Ashwagandha and more. I’ll be sharing weekly videos and a more in-depth article about the supplements and the experience as the month unfolds | Link

Why I Run: Ultrarunner Germain Grangier

Germain Grangier takes a Mr Porter film crew deep into the French Alps to explore the iconic landscape and share why it is he runs. On runner and 9th place finisher at the 2019 UTMB, Grangier speaks about playing music, yoga and the value of time as it is the, “most precious thing because it allows me to grow and learn new things. I think that running is the easiest way to move in the mountains and it gives me that time. That is why I run, first because I get the time and the mountain lifestyle, but also because it allows me to grow.” | Link

Ojai Energetics CBD Sports Gel

I recently wrote a longer article about my experience with CBD products and how I found Ojai Energetics, but as my home workout regimen continues to evolve and I have been pushing my legs further and faster with a mix of hill sprints and longer runs, I’ve been using their CBD Sports Gel a fair bit. I am really enjoying this project a lot, it feels soothing, smells good and I notice a difference the next day when I use it right after a hard run | Link

“Becoming Nobody is the quintessential portal to Ram Dass' life and teachings. His ability to entertain and his sense of humor are abundantly evident in a conversation that brings us around to address the vast question of ultimate freedom.

The film represents the core are of Ram Dass' teachings and life. He served as a bridge between Eastern and Western philosophies and defined a generation of inner explorers and seekers of truth and wisdom. Through his turns as scion of an eminent Jewish family from Boston, rock-star Harvard psychologist, counter-culture rascally adventurer, Eastern holy man, stroke survivor and compassionate caregiver, Ram Dass has worn many hats on his journey, the narrative of which is revealed in the inspiring documentary.” | Link
