The Doctor Is In

The Doctor Is In

For those of you who have followed this blog long, or closely enough, you know all to well that I am a massive supporter of Doug and Body by Science — the #1 best seller of all time at The Dream Lounge global headquarters.

With that said, there are three points I want to make in regards to this speech.

1. This was one of, if not the proudest moment of my life.

While I did not think of it in these terms at the time, this was the emotion I was experiencing when Doug took the stage at The 21 Convention.

Pride, to the furthest extent possible — to the full degree.

Why is this?

Because I correctly recognized the “weight” Doug brought to my greatest achievement — the stage of The 21 Convention. In recognizing that tremendous weight — and for the first time in my life — I properly valued the strength of my achievement.

First time in my life because while there have…

Parts of the Paleo Community That Creep Me Out

Parts of the Paleo Community That Creep Me Out

There are a number of ideas and even people that take place and part in the blogging sum of the “paleo community” that outright creep me out.

I typically don’t take the time to unravel what it is I’m seeing, if I am certain that what I am seeing is in fact not an error of observation — that I have a reason I cannot yet or choose to not yet fully explain to myself, or anyone else.

Well I found a blog yesterday that pushed me closer to — as a starting point — listing out a few of these websites. (And as I just found out, I had actually visited this site previously when it’s forum sent some traffic to The Dream Lounge a few months back).

When I initially found the forum, I had a chill go up my spine when I read a comment from the author of another blog that I am also familiar with — that ironically, was the…

How Government Ruins Your Life Part 1 — Nutrition

How Government Ruins Your Life Part 1 — Nutrition

The purpose of government in the American States — indeed, the proper, and only legitimate purpose of every government on this earth — as inscribed in the Declaration of Independence, is to secure the individual rights of man.

Every man.

Not groups.

Not some men at the exclusion and expense of others.

Not one gender at the expense of another.

Not one race at the expense of another.

Every man on this earth.

~

The general government between the American States — what we call the federal government — was never delegated the power to use it’s voice as a loud speaker  – such function funded today by worthless IOUs, forced upon the people with and then collected by the barrel of a gun – an illegal act in and of itself unless and until an individual has initiated force against another.

As such, it is not only improper for such government to exercise such function, but illegal, both by the nature of the united States Constitution in…

Kurt Harris at The 21 Convention?

Kurt Harris at The 21 Convention?

 

I invited Dr. Kurt Harris to T21C last year. From memory, he seemed mildly interested, but not nearly enough to spend the time to fly down to Orlando, regardless of covered travel and lodging expenses.

From what I understand, he is in the process of retiring. Hopefully come Summer, he will have the time to speak. ‘Hopefully’ because he is by far one of my top picks when it comes to nutrition.

And hopefully, considering what I imagine to be a very large influx of e-mail, this video is enough to push his interest over the tipping point if and when he comes across it.

Proper Exercise & Nutrition: Now on Youtube

Proper Exercise & Nutrition: Now on Youtube

 
All (past) convention footage will be on Youtube in full within the next few days. I know a lot of TDL readers liked this speech. Enjoy first, share second.

– Anthony Dream Johnson

ps — I still find it fascinating that Doug, Bill, and Mark spoke the following year — the authors of the books I recommended so highly in this video. The quote “I make my own luck” comes to mind.

2 Spots Left for Next Round of Dream Vitality

2 Spots Left for Next Round of Dream Vitality

Click the image to view full res.

I’m not a salesman, so interpret this as an announcement — not a sales pitch, which I am not capable of.

Dream Vitality is a 12 week coaching program I started back in August. Essentially, over the course of 12 weeks, you and I work to overhaul your exercise, dietary, and other health habits.

You have 12 weeks to pick my brain — mostly via e-mail, and a bit of phone as well.

I have 12 weeks to cram your head with knowledge that’s taken me over 2 years to find, interpret, and understand.

During this time I create a custom workout routine for you — based on available equipment and any specific needs — and provide private demonstration videos when applicable.

I also critique up to 6 video workouts of yours.

Minus videos of you chowing down, the same applies for a nutrition plan. (You’re welcome to send me videos of you eating, but I will not be…

Thoughts on My Grandmother’s Death

Thoughts on My Grandmother’s Death



My maternal grandmother died at 91 years of age last night. While this is considered a “long” life by conventional standards, I believe she could have lived well over 100 years.

This is aside the point though, because her physiological headroom, as men like Arthur De Vany and Doug McGuff MD discuss from time to time, slowly and agonizingly declined over the last third of her life.

This is not the way humans beings are meant to live. Nor are we meant to die a slow, painful death, with a slowly decomposing quality of life.

Our quality of life should be ever rising, or at the very least (and end), a flat line, that suddenly drops off due to physical injury of some kind.

This was not the case for my grandmother who died barely conscious, with multiple organs failing, a great deal of pain, and more cancer than most would think possible in one person – not to mention diabetes, muscular atrophy, and obesity.

With that said,…

Four Hour Body Mini Review

Four Hour Body Mini Review

This is titled a “mini review” since it is (A) not a full review, and (B) my thoughts on the book as the content applies to me and me only.

First things first, I have enjoyed the book very much. Tim is the ultimate geek for the human body, and this monster of a book proves it.

Second, I found the following chapters and ideas most useful. The rest I either didn’t care about, or simply disagreed with [disclaimer for those who haven't bought it yet: Tim knew many of his readers would be in the same boat before publishing the book, so far as I am aware].

  • Ice Age: Mastering Temperature to Manipulate Weight
  • Six-Minute Abs: Two Exercises That Actually Work
    • Note: I do not perform direct work for my abs, nor will I start doing any. I like this chapter because Drew is in it and I think Drew is awesome. I also have a monopoly on Drew Baye Youtube…
