Food Myth: You Need Carbs To Build Muscle
For Health & Happiness
03/12/25 • 1 min
I often hear how someone thinks they need or being told they need more carbs to grow muscle. When the problem wasn’t the carbs or food but their training. In the same way you can’t outwork a bad diet to lose weight you can’t out diet a bad workout to build muscle. Carbs have their purpose, but if you are truly training to build muscle, look at your training first. I believe in putting 100% in diet and training, but you have to have a proper or at least foundational understanding of both.

"Christianity & Obesity" with Pastor Shannel Burrows
For Health & Happiness
03/21/25 • 35 min
This is an archive episode from an interview with Pastor Shannel Burrows on her Facebook live show, Wednesday's Are For Women. In this episode, we talk about the church's role with obesity and diabetes, the importance of not just changing your habits but changing your mindset, and answer a few of her live guest questions.
I think this is an important conversation to have not just to improve the lives of churchgoers but because I think they would be a great way to keep the church helping its community by being on the first lines on lifestyle illness and being an example.
You can find Paster Shannel Burrows on Facebook

How Heavy Should I Lift?
For Health & Happiness
03/15/25 • 10 min
In this video, I show you how I choose how heavy I lift for an effective, intense, and safer, workout. Unfortunately, too many people focus on weight and not other elements of a training program. From my experience, this limits one's results and/or can lead to injuries over time. Watch or, if you wish, listen on my For Health and Happiness podcast and let me know what you think. Do you agree? Does what I say make sense, leave it in the comments below.
