The past two weeks have been challenging.
Physically. Mentally. Emotionally.
Ketty and I felt it in ways we didn’t expect. Tension creeping into our bodies. Doubt whispering in the background. Frustration building.
We’re not perfect. Even after eight years of studying, experimenting, and refining everything about movement, training, and rebuilding the body and mind, I’m still learning. Every. Single. Day.
And here’s what I’ve realized:
No matter how much you “know,” stress always finds its way into the body.
When life gets tense, your body locks up. Your nervous system tightens, protects, shields. Your mind follows.
I went to a therapist (body worker). Judah Lyons. A rolfer and craniosacral practitioner. He didn’t “fix” me. He challenged my nervous system — just enough for it to reset itself.
Subtle shifts. Barely noticeable. But the impact? Massive.
Since then, a lot has changed.
More strength. More clarity. More commitment than ever to make The Energy Lab work — for me, for us, for you.
Because when you open something up — tension, perspective, a false belief — things start to shift.
So I’ll ask you: Where is your body holding tension that no longer serves you?
"The more subtle the force, the more powerful the effect."
Beyond Biohacking — The Ancient Secret to Sustainable Energy
Biohacking is sexy. Cold plunges. Wearables. Supplement stacks.
But let’s be honest — most people are chasing shortcuts instead of real solutions.
True, sustainable energy isn’t about short cuts and hacks. It’s about mastering the core systems that regulate your body’s energy at the deepest level.
In this week’s deep dive, we break down:
✅ Why your nervous system — not caffeine — is the real key to sustained energy.
✅ How ancient wisdom outperforms modern “hacks.”
✅ A simple but powerful body-first approach to energy, clarity, and resilience.
Because if you fix the foundation, you won’t need another quick fix.
The Physical Edge
Rewire Your Body’s Operating System (The 2% Rule)
Most people think strength is about big movements, heavy weights, and explosive power.
But real strength? It starts in the smallest places.
Your nervous system controls everything:
Movement. Stability. Recovery. Pain. Resilience.
If it’s dysregulated, you can train all you want, but your body will never feel fully strong, stable, or free.
The 2% Rule: Micro Muscle Activation for Deep Body Control
Try this:
- Engage a muscle at just 2–3% of its max force. Barely perceptible. The goal isn’t effort — it’s precision.
- Hold that micro-engagement and “scan” the body. Notice where tension builds.
- Release it slowly. Or try to shift the force into various directions Feel how your nervous system adapts.
When you engage muscles subtly and intentionally, you’re not just training muscles — you’re training the brain-body connection itself.
This method reprograms movement patterns, reduces pain, and builds deep, lasting strength.
Because strength isn’t just what you can lift. It’s how well you can control your body, down to the smallest fibers.
Sharpen Your Awareness Through Subtle Engagement
Your body and mind aren’t separate. The mind lives in the body. They reflect each other. They are ONE.
If you want to rewire your nervous system through movement, you need to train your awareness just as much as your muscles.
Try This: The Micro-Engagement Scan
- Find a quiet space. Sit or stand in a relaxed position.
- Gently activate a muscle at 2% effort. Could be your hand, foot, or even deep core muscles.
- Hold that micro-activation while scanning your body. Or follow your body into the pull. Where do you feel tension? What shifts?
- Breathe into it. Slowly. Deeply. Let your nervous system adjust.
- Release the engagement and notice how your body reacts.
This isn’t just movement — it’s a direct conversation with your nervous system.
Train this, and you’ll notice:
✅ More control over movement and posture.
✅ Less unnecessary tension in daily life.
✅ A deeper connection between mind and body.
It’s subtle work. But it might just change everything.
Breathe Like This (your neural control switch for sustainable high performance)
Your breath is the remote control for your nervous system.
If you’re stressed, tight, reactive — your breath is probably shallow and fast.
But just like with movement, the real power isn’t in force. It’s in subtlety.
Try This: The 10% Breath Reduction Method (from Pranayama & The Oxygen Advantage)
- Take a normal breath in. Then exhale — but stop 10% earlier than usual.
- Hold at that slight air hunger for 2–3 seconds.
- Inhale lightly (only 10%).
- Try to withstand the full grasp for as long as possible.
- If you really can’t tolerate any longer — let it happen.
- Then start again. That’s the practice.
- Repeat for 1–2 minutes.
- Begin with 1-2 minutes. Gradually increase by one minute when you feel comfortable at your current level.
This subtle restriction stimulates the vagus nerve, relaxes the nervous system, and improves CO2 tolerance.
The result?
✅ A more adaptable nervous system.
✅ More energy with less breath.
✅ Faster recovery.
Your breath isn’t just something that happens. It’s a tool. A lever. A way to take control of your body at the deepest level.
