Spent the day today at one of our favorite places in the state of Maine, Nuble lighthouse York Beach.
It was one of my mothers favorite places as well as my grandmothers. My mom passed in 1998 and with the passing of my grandmother in 2010 my dad had a ring made with both my grandmothers and my mothers engagement diamonds. He wore it regularly until his passing a couple of weeks ago. I now have the family heirloom and I know my mother and my grandmother as well as my dad would be smiling today seeing the ring on my finger at nuble light. The last couple of family pictures were taken in 2009 at Nuble light when my grandmother was still with us. unfortunately with my mom‘s passing in 1998 I could not find a picture with us there together. #familyiseverything

Sometimes you have to go back to the past to fully comprehend what this country was built upon. today, some are trying to erase the past to rewrite the future, but not so fast! this granite statue which is one of the largest in this country, reminds us and honors our forefathers and their journey in the pursuit of civil and religious liberty. The 102 brave souls along with 30 crewmembers boarded The mayflower for an 80 day journey to establish a country based on freedom, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. it is when we realize the sacrifice of those before us that we can truly continue to fight for and protect the future that they envisioned. #freedom

Never forget the past, it makes us who we are today. I know some are trying to erase the past to rewrite the future of this country, but not so fast! This country was built on a foundation of civil liberty and religious freedom. One of the tallest Granite statues in this country was erected in 1869 in Plymouth Massachusetts As a reminder of why our forefathers left England. To pursue their right to civil and religious liberty. The 102 brave souls and 30 crewmembers who boarded the mayflower and set sail to land in Plymouth Massachusetts some 80 days later so that they could exercise their Free right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It’s only by looking back to see the sacrifices of others that motivate us even more to fight for the freedoms that we can enjoy today.

Great meal with this great young man. Garrett reminds us every day to live in the present. Forget about the past, it’s gone. Don’t worry about tomorrow, it may never come. Be happy and grateful for today! Thanks buddy❤️

Beyond 50 training
The battle between mature muscle and age related muscle and strength loss.
The enemy: anabolic resistance
in simple terms it takes more dietary protein to build the same amount of muscle as we age because our body’s sensitivity to protein diminishes with age.
The solution:
To overcome this decreased dietary protein sensitivity, include the ingestion of rapidly digested proteins such as essential amino acid (EAA) supplements and or greater protein ingestion with each main meal to maximally stimulate muscle proteins synthesis.

Training beyond 50
A recent 4 week research study showed a 10% increased strength improvement while also increasing lean body mass by 5% And decreasing subcutaneous fat by 8% utilizing blood flow restriction training. Win the battle against age related muscle and strength loss! #BStrong#bstrongtraining Training. code drpeter

Had a killer blood flow restriction (BFR) training session today! As a 58 year young natural for life athlete I’m constantly studying cutting edge research to maximize not only my health span but the health span of my patient base. In an upcoming article in Ironman Magazine I will be discussing the battle between mature muscle and age related muscle and strength loss and how to be a warrior in that battle. Stay tuned…

Goodbye 2020, let’s B strong in 2021. As a health care practitioner there is a distinct difference between a Health span of 90 years and a life span of 90 years. maintaining strength as you age maximizes your health span. Your quality of life depends on your ability to maintain strength. The opposite of strength is fragility, the longer you maintain your strength the less fragile you are and maintain your abilities to do the things you love to do. As a 58-year-old professional Natural Bodybuilder I rely on the B strong blood flow restriction training system to maintain my strength. Check out my article in the latest issue of Ironman magazine and you will understand why I feel the B strong training system could actually be the closest thing to the fountain of youth.

Wishing everyone a healthy and successful 2021. Spent the day watching the sunset on 2020 at the Hotel Del Coronado. What will 2021 bring? I guess that depends on what group you’re part of. There’s those that make things happen, there’s those that watch things happen and there’s those that wonder what the hell just happened?
what group are you part of?

As modern day Indiana Jones Dan Buettner discovered the people that live the longest in different regions of the world have numerous things in common. As we enter a new year one commonality the longest lived humans have is they follow the 80% rule and regularly engage in fasting. In one of the blue zones Okinawa, they referred to the 80% rule as “hara Hachi bu” which means stop eating when you feel 80% full rather than 100% full.
Since the hormones that make you feel full only reach their maximum blood levels 20 minutes after you’ve finished eating really means you should’ve stopped eating 20 minutes sooner than you probably did.
Fasting also plays a role in the enhanced health and Longevity of these regions. #fitover40 #fitover50

When modern day Indiana Jones explorer Dan Buettner made it his mission to find the regions of the earth where humans live the longest, he identified four characteristics that all five regions have in common. I’d like to start with the lowest hanging fruit for the first characteristic.

MODERATE REGULAR PHYSICAL ACTIVITY

The health benefits of regular exercise and physical activity are countless, according to numerous researchers regulating exercise and keeping a healthy diet is the number one thing to do in order to prevent most diseases such as cardiovascular problems, cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes, depression, anxiety, arthritis, obesity and accidents. When people exercise daily their bodies release chemicals Known as Neurotransmitters. These natural chemicals can help prevent pain, depression, and manage emotions. This does not just mean going to the gym, it means being constantly moving and trying to exercise your body while doing daily tasks. In blue zones, longevity is not something that is pursued, it’s something that ensues by making the right choices on a regular daily basis.
