Why 'Bro-Science' Doesn't Work

A picture of a bible verse that says `` my people perish from a lack of knowledge . ''

If you have been reading my emails lately, you'll notice they all incorporate a Bible passage meaningful to me. I was recently ordained as a minister and I believe in the power of scripture in every aspect of life. This is why I start my emails with a message for you.


Today's message is "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge." Hosea 4:6


I have knowledge. As a matter of fact, I have years and years of knowledge when it comes to the health and fitness industry.


However, when it comes to my family...ie, 'my people'...it doesn't seem to be enough knowledge for them to listen.


They love to tell me about their latest 'awesome plan' or fad diet they are going to embark on to lose weight. (It takes every ounce of self control to not roll my eyes.)


These plans never work and certainly never last. The proof is in the pudding - every time I see 'my people' they get bigger and bigger...and I'm not talking about muscle. They are truly being destroyed for lack of knowledge.


Unfortunately, people are going to do what they are going to do. 


Most of the time their program is based on what they think will work and not on what will actually work - what science and education has shown us to work.


Let's face it, losing fat is hard. But trying to do it on feelings rather than facts leads to the "hamster wheel" effect of going on and off diets all while getting fatter and fatter and fatter over time.


It's common knowledge that being overweight carries a plethora of health risks.


People's health is literally perishing because they lack the knowledge, time, and energy to put together a solid program that actually works and keeps them seeing progress which keeps motivation high.


What about you Tracy?


What's your plan? Do you have a plan that's based on education and knowledge? Or is it based on 'bro-science'?


Is it working?


Our team has over 50 years of combined knowledge getting people results. Go here to see just what I'm talking about.


We are ready and willing to share our knowledge with you. In fact, we are starting a special 4-WEEK RAPID FAT LOSS PROGRAM. This plan is based on actual knowledge

and uses the real science of your body's hormones to help you create a fat burning vs. fat storing environment.


It also helps you gain back "lost territory" with your waistline quicker than 'bro-science' programs.


We are kicking it off today but you can still jump in. Check it out right here and register here.


Dedicated to keeping you from "perishing" with real knowledge.

A group of people are running a marathon on a city street.
By Puravida Fitness October 30, 2024
Yesterday was the 40th running of the Twin Cities Marathon - The Most Beautiful Urban Marathon in America! If you are like me, you stop everything to take it all in. Marathon Day is one of my favorite days of the year! A happy place! So much goodness packed into one perfect fall day! And yesterday was no exception! 34 years ago my friend and I were curious. What is the marathon anyway? It was hard to visualize people running 26.2 miles from the Metrodome in Minneapolis to the Capitol in St. Paul. So without the assistance of Google maps, runner tracking apps or cell phones, we headed to St. Paul to "find the marathon." We rolled down our windows, drove up the Snelling Avenue hill and listened for people cheering. Sure enough we found it!

This is a sign that hung in my college football weight room. It meant a lot to me. It's what motivated me to put in extra work and ultimately become a scholarship athlete and starting offensive guard on the football team. It wasn't always like that though. My life could have been drastically different - and not for the better.
