Last week’s email, ‘Who Should You Listen To?’, got 5X more clicks than any of my previous emails.
You wanted to see who I follow on Instagram!
That got me thinking.
I wasn’t following those people at the beginning of my Journey.
Who played a part early in my Journey?

The Big Picture 🖼
My first milestone nutritional mentor was Robb Wolf.
His book The Paleo Solution came out in 2010.
After reading it, I took his 30-day Paleo Challenge, and a few things happened:
I ate whole, unprocessed, home-cooked food 100% of the time.
I removed all gluten, grains, & dairy for the whole month.
I learned how to cook.
I felt and looked better than I ever had previously.
This was a significant milestone … but I didn’t start there.
You Have To Be Ready
I was not ready to do that Challenge in 2000 or 2005.
In 2000, I had recently failed college and was in the worst shape of my life.
In 2005, I was rebuilding my work, personal life, and relationships.
I had significant milestones in other areas of health before 2010.
I’m talking about Deep Health.

Today’s topic, as simply as possible:
“Start where you are.”
Deep Health Is Everything. 🌟
This is what Deep Health looks like:
From Dark To Light ⚡️
When I thought about that list of Instagram accounts, I wondered:
Where do I fit in there as a Nutrition Coach?
The answer was obvious. It’s in the story of my Journey.
In 2000, I was so low that I had zero hope.
I had given up.
It took a very clever doctor to convince me to take my first step towards healing - a significant mental milestone.
Having come a long way, I firmly believe that:
No matter how dark things seem, there is always a path to light.
The more difficult the challenge, the greater the opportunity for transformation.
There is almost always a change you can make.
So that’s my thing: change.
As much as I love talking about food, fitness, philosophy, chess, and soccer …
… I’m all about helping you make a deep, personal transformation.
To readers in the US: enjoy Memorial Day weekend!
Quality time off is a big part of Deep Health.
This weekend, there’s a big sale on the one brand of supplements I take daily:
I’ve been using Kion products daily for years; they are the best!

A simple word, phrase, or thought to take with you:
When you invest in Deep Health, the returns last a lifetime.
Be well,
Coach Matt
