Let’s Make Health Rebellious (And Tell the Stories That Matter)

There’s a quiet group of people out there who feel it.

They know something is off.

They look around and see a world getting sicker, more tired, more medicated, more anxious — and they can’t shake the feeling that this cannot be the best we can do.

If that’s you, this post is for you.

And if you’ve already walked this path — even better. I want to hear your story.

Appealing to a Nobler Motive: How to Unlock Real Motivation for Lasting Change

Most people say they want to lose weight, get healthy, or exercise more. But here’s the truth: just saying you want something isn’t enough to carry you through the hard days. Motivation fizzles. Habits slip. And before long, you’re back where you started.

So what’s missing?

The key is what I call appealing to a nobler motive — a concept inspired by the classic book How to Win Friends and Influence People. Instead of relying on surface-level motivation (“I want to look good” or “I should probably eat better”), you find the deeper reason that ties directly to your soul, your values, and what you stand for in life.

This is where true intrinsic motivation comes from — the kind of drive that doesn’t fade when life gets hard.


Why Most Motivation Doesn’t Stick

For most people, a goal like “lose weight” or “exercise more” is abstract. It doesn’t fully connect to who they are. It’s more of a wish than a force that can anchor new habits.

Let’s take an example:
A man realizes he’s gaining weight every year. His father had diabetes and spent the last decade of his life dealing with insulin shots, poor circulation, and limited mobility. On the surface, this man might say: “I don’t want to end up like my dad, so I should make some changes.”

And while that sounds reasonable, it often isn’t strong enough to fuel consistent behavior change.


How a Nobler Motive Changes Everything

Now, let’s appeal to a nobler motive.

That same man could instead write on a sticky note:

  • “If I don’t change my ways, my children will feel obligated to take care of me when I can’t take care of myself.”
  • Or: “I don’t want my kids to follow in the same unhealthy footsteps. I’m making the decision to rewrite our story.”

Do you see the difference?

The first version was about him. The second is about something bigger — his children, his family’s future, his legacy. That nobler motive lights a fire inside because it’s tied to love, responsibility, and who he is as a person.


How to Find Your Nobler Motive

Every tough goal or challenge has a deeper purpose behind it. The trick is asking the right questions:

  • Who else is affected if I don’t change?
  • What kind of example do I want to set?
  • How do I want my children (or future grandchildren) to remember me?
  • What legacy am I building right now with my daily choices?

Your nobler motive should always be ethical, empowering, and for the greater good — never negative or harmful.

When you find that anchor, the “hard” things like exercising, eating better, fasting, or saying no to toxic foods become worth it. They stop feeling like sacrifices and start feeling like acts of love and responsibility.


Examples of Nobler Motives to Anchor Your Health Goals

If you’re struggling to find your “why,” here are a few examples of nobler motives that can help you uncover your own:

For Generational Impact“By changing today, I’m setting an example that my kids — and their kids — can follow. I’m breaking the cycle.”

For Your Children“I don’t want my kids to grow up thinking sickness and disease are just part of life. I want them to see strength, resilience, and health as normal.”

For Your Legacy“My parents and grandparents didn’t know what I know now. I owe it to them — and myself — to rewrite our family’s story.”

For Your Freedom“I don’t want to spend my later years trapped in hospitals, pills, and doctor’s offices. I want to live with energy, strength, and independence.”

For Peace of Mind“I want to go to bed each night knowing I’m tipping the odds in my favor and defending my future.”


Start Defending Your Future Today

Appealing to a nobler motive is about more than just motivation — it’s about rewiring your future. It’s about building a body that cancer hates, tipping the odds in your favor, and stacking up years of strength and resilience.

So, what’s your nobler motive?

Write it down. Say it out loud. Let it guide your actions. And remember — you’re not just changing for yourself. You’re defending your future and shaping the legacy your family will live with tomorrow.

The Hidden Cause of Most Cancers

👉 In just 2 minutes, find out if you’re protecting your future or gambling with it: Take the Defend Your Future Quiz

Most people believe cancer is mainly genetic — that if it runs in your family, it’s just a matter of time. But the truth is very different. Research shows that less than 5% of cancers are genetic. The rest? Around 70–75% are caused by toxins we’re exposed to every day, and 20–25% are linked to viruses and infections.

This is actually good news — because it means you have more control than you’ve been led to believe. The real question is: how do we protect our bodies so they’re less inviting to cancer in the first place?

How to Build a Body Cancer Hates — No Matter Your Family History

If you ask a group of people about cancer, you’ll usually hear two very different voices.

On one hand, you have younger people who just repeat what they’ve heard from someone else: “Well, cancer just runs in my family.” For them, it’s an identity they’ve adopted before they’ve really had to face many hardships.

On the other hand, I hear older folks—people who have already lived through real health struggles—say the same thing: “It’s just in my genes. Nothing I can do about it.”

But here’s the truth: that belief couldn’t be further from reality.


The Turning Point: What Changed Everything for Me

My perspective flipped the day I picked up The Primal Blueprint. Inside those pages, I learned something shocking: about 95% of cancers are metabolically driven—not genetic fate.

Let that sink in for a second.

That means only about 5% of cancers are truly tied to inherited genetic mutations. The rest? They’re influenced by the way we live, eat, move, rest, and handle stress.

In other words: we actually have far more control than we’ve been led to believe. By building strong, resilient mitochondria (your body’s energy powerhouses), we can create robust metabolic health—which is the ultimate prevention against cancer.


The Big 4 Levers That Tip the Odds in Your Favor

So how do you actually do that? I like to keep it simple: pull the Big 4 Levers that move the needle most when it comes to cancer prevention:

  1. Toxin Removal. Identify and remove the main culprits that are bogging down your body’s immune system.
  2. Movement and Exercise. Learn why movement and exercise is not just about building muscle and burning calories.
  3. Eating Window and Fasting. Learn how to train your body to fight illness and disease when you’re not eating.
  4. Nutrient Dense Foods and Lifestyle. Learn how to take control and source great tasting, nutrient dense foods that starve out illness and disease.

When you learn these habits and become metabolically healthy, something incredible happens: you can actually enjoy life with freedom. That’s where the 80/20 principle comes in. Build your metabolic machinery strong, and the occasional treat won’t derail you.


A Vision for Old Age (And Why This Matters Now)

For me, it’s not just about avoiding disease. It’s about imagining the kind of life I want when I’m 80, 90, even 100.

My ideal day of old age? Waking up with purpose, walking or even jogging (hopefully even sprinting once in a while) around the farm, hunting, gardening, cooking my own food, sweating often, laughing a lot, and falling asleep at night knowing I’m strong, useful, and disease-free.

That’s the payoff of defending your future now.


Your First Steps: From Fear to Action

If cancer runs in your family and you’ve been living under the shadow of “it’s all genetic,” I want you to know this: you are not powerless.

The very first step I recommend is simple:
✅ Take my Defend Your Future Quiz. It’ll show you where you currently stand and which levers you need to start pulling.

Step two? Let’s set up a call and see if your goals are aligned with what I help my clients achieve. Because if you’re ready to stack the odds in your favor and build a body cancer hates, there’s no better time than now.


Closing Thought

Your health story isn’t written in stone by your DNA. You get to write the chapters ahead. The sooner you start, the more control you gain.

Now, get to chiseling out a body that cancer hates, and start defending your future!!

The Silent Health Trap: Why “Skinny Fat” Might Be More Dangerous Than You Think

You’ve probably heard people say, “Just eat what you want, we’re all going to die someday anyway.” Maybe you’ve even said it yourself — I know I used to. And if you’re young, or naturally lean, your body might even let you get away with that for a while. Eat the pizza, slam the energy drinks, hit Taco Bell at 2 AM… and somehow, you’re still fitting in the same jeans.

But here’s the thing: just because your body isn’t showing you the consequences on the outside doesn’t mean the damage isn’t happening on the inside.

Top 5 Everyday Habits That Make Your Body Less Inviting to Cancer

When cancer shows up in the family, fear usually follows. Many people start wondering if they’re doomed to the same fate, as if their genetics have already written the story of their future. That kind of thinking not only creates anxiety, but often leads people to put their faith in drugs, medications, or “quick fixes” instead of realizing that the strongest form of disease prevention actually begins at home—in your kitchen, in your daily choices, and even in the way you think about health.

Is Cancer Really Genetic? What Science Says About Your Family Risk

When I was a kid, I watched my great-grandma fall into the deep sea of Alzheimer’s disease. Later, my great aunt did the same. In my 30s, my mom was diagnosed with melanoma. A few years later, my grandma died of pancreatic cancer. Four years after that, my dad also died of pancreatic cancer. And most recently, in 2025, my grandpa passed away after battling colon cancer.

It felt like cancer was written into my family tree—and for a long time, I thought I was destined for the same.

But I refused to accept that answer. Instead, I set out to learn everything I could about natural healing, disease prevention, and how to create a body that cancer doesn’t want to live in. Along the way, I discovered something that changed everything: most cancers aren’t purely genetic.

Family History of Cancer? Here’s How to Reduce Your Risk Naturally

If cancer has touched your family, you know the concern isn’t just about your own health—it’s about your kids, your siblings, your future. I’ve seen it firsthand in my own family, with multiple relatives diagnosed or lost to cancer, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, lupus, and heart disease. And like many, I was told, “it’s genetic, there’s nothing you can do.”
