May 18, 2025 – Wellness Check-In

 Woke up a little stiff, but not nearly as bad as last week. The HOKA Bondis continue to be a game changer—Achilles insertional tendinitis is still 99% improved. That's a huge win.

Morning Metrics:

  • HRV: slightly up from yesterday

  • Glucose: steady within preferred range

  • Energy: stable throughout the morning

  • Stress: low









Compared to earlier this morning, my post-lunch Welltory metrics showed a slight dip in energy but bounced back by dinner. Glucose continued trending smooth. By evening, metrics indicated balanced recovery.

Nutrition & Macros:

  • Calories: 1,804 kcal

  • Protein: 132g

  • Carbs: 128g

  • Fat: 76g

  • Fiber: 18g

Macros were dialed in. High-protein, low-glycemic foods throughout the day. No gut upset, and I alternated Coke Zero with Poland Spring water with IQmix

Movement: Hit my 22-minute goal for the day. Light walk mid day and after dinner, keeping pace and form consistent. New sneakers helped tremendously. Bought Morton’s extension insoles to help with L Hallux limitus

Medication & Supplement Stack:

  • NP Thyroid

  • Lopressor

  • 2 pieces Neuro Gum

  • CataKor NAD+ precursors

  • Triquetra 7.5 mg L-methylfolate

  • Triquetra GLP Activate

  • Physician’s Choice Digestive Enzymes (taken today)

Zepbound was Saturday: 12.5 mg). GI symptoms under control—no bloating or sulfur burps. Felt focused, resilient, and even with some stressors, my mood held steady all day.

Summary: Overall, this was a successful day. My metrics and macros aligned, energy stayed steady, and my movement goals were met. I’m ending the night feeling grounded and ready for Monday.

💩 From Bloated to Balanced: How These Enzymes Saved Me Mid-Tirzepatide Constipation

Image
 I don’t usually write about what happens  after  dinner… but let’s just say yesterday deserved a post. I’m on  week 147 of tirzepatide  (shoutout to my Friday night injection crew), and despite having my routine mostly dialed in, I got hit hard with  brick wall  constipation this week. No warning. Just... 💥 stuck. So I did what I regularly do: I reached for my  Physician’s Choice Digestive Enzymes . I bought them a while back for “just in case” moments. Yesterday? It was the  case . And y’all — they worked. But this post isn’t just about relief. It’s about understanding what you’re actually putting in your body — especially when you're navigating the layered effects of GLP-1s like tirzepatide. Let’s unpack the  ingredient blend  and why it matters: 🧪 What’s Inside These Capsules — And Why It Works These enzymes go way beyond the basics. Here’s what you’re really getting in every serving: 1. Protease Blend (5 Types) Breaks down pr...

🌀 Sunday Check-In: Rainy Walks, Superhero Dreams & Nervous System Wins

Image
  📅 Date:  June 15, 2025 📍 Location:  Central New Jersey 🌧️ Weather:  Cool, rainy, peaceful 🧠 Mood:  Grounded, calm, and fully content ☀️ Morning Reflection I spent the day in Central Jersey, where I stay about half the week. The weather was moody—cool and rainy—but that didn’t stop me from getting out for  two walks , including a peaceful loop through  Colonial Park , which always resets me mentally. Last night’s sleep was solid, but the  dreams were something else . I’m in  week 147 on Tirzepatide , and I’ve definitely noticed a trend with increasingly vivid REM cycles. Last night’s were full-on  superhero mode —not bad dreams, just chaotic, detailed, and fast-paced. My subconscious was on a mission. 📊 Morning vs. Evening Metrics What started as a lower-energy, high-stress morning completely reversed by early evening. My body flipped into full parasympathetic recovery, and the numbers backed it up: I didn’t nap, overdo it, or stre...

June 18 – Metrics Blog: From Burnout to Recovery Mode 💥➡️🌿

Image
 Woke up this morning knowing something was off—and my metrics confirmed it. At  7:47 AM , stress was already at  59% 😬 , energy was dragging at  35% 🪫 , and although my  health resilience was 100% 🟢 , my  HRV was only 24% 📉 , which explained the low stamina. I chalked it up to cumulative system strain, probably from trying to push through earlier in the week without giving myself enough recovery time. By  1:44 PM , things had taken a sharper turn. My  stress spiked to 97% 🔥 , energy dropped to  12% ⚠️ , and coherence took a hit at  35% 🤯 . HRV tanked at  1% 🧨 , and my nervous system was stuck in full sympathetic overdrive 🏃‍♀️💨. Brain fog kicked in, and I knew right away that decision-making and mental focus were compromised. Welltory even warned me to postpone anything important—and it wasn’t wrong. But the twist? Despite that crash,  my health resilience stayed rock solid at 100% 🧬  all day. That’s not nothing...
