The list of my favorite things
Here you’ll find my favorite resources, brands I trust (and personally use), and the products I recommend most often to coaching clients.
Supplements & Good Eats
BEST COLLAGEN RESOURCE
I’m a huge fan of collagen for tendon and ligament health. If you’ve had any previous tendon/ligament injuries or tendinitis I highly encourage getting yourself a quality collagen and taking it regularly. Even if you haven’t had any issues in the past it can help prevent them in the future. The reason I like Vital Proteins is that they have Vitamin C added into their product which is vital (pun intended) to being effective which most products don’t have.
TOP QUALITY SUPPLEMENTS
Thorne uses great ingredients with their supplements and has fantastic formulations of them as well to ensure your money is actually going towards a good quality product. They also offer a great amount of NSF certified products for my clients who are athletes to ensure no banned substances are in their supplements. I’ve used Thorne with many of the teams and athletes I’ve work with in my career, as well as personally, with great success.
#1 SOURCE FOR AFFORDABLE, HIGH QUALITY MEAT
Quality meat is one thing I always encourage and tell my clients is worth the extra cost. If you are in an area where you have access to locally raised meat, perfect! For many of us though it can be challenging to get grass fed, wild caught and free range meat products. Butcher Box takes the hassle out of that and is able to deliver it straight to your door at a very reasonable price. If looking to upgrade your meals, I recommend starting with the meat.
#1 SOURCE FOR AFFORDABLE, ORGANIC GROCERIES
Great one-stop-shop for quality groceries. Most products these days in stores are unfortunately highly processed full of a lot preservatives. Thrive has great quality snacks, cooking ingredients, pantry items and hydration products (LMNT is easily my favorite) to be delivered straight to your door. It has great discounts regularly on various products which quickly and easily offsets the subscription cost and then some.
Performance and Fitness
THE BEST AT HOME WORKOUT
Big Peloton guy here! I was hesitant at first but quickly became a huge fan. With a pretty hectic and ever changing schedule, the convenience of having this right at home for some quick intense cardio is a game changer. Being able to pull up some quick workouts on the phone is great as well whether I’m home with some weights or traveling and need to still get a workout in at the hotel. My wife even had me get into yoga with it! But join me at: JayShort. Get $100 off accessories as well if you purchase a bike or treadmill using the referral code: YGQG82.
THE BEST FITNESS TRACKER FOR WELLNESS
One of my all-time favorite purchases ever. Easily. Our recovery is so vital in every aspect of our lives from performing optimally out on the field to simply ensuring we are living a long healthy life. Whoop allows you to track your recovery stats in comparison to your own personal baseline to best monitor how you are trending and responding to physical strain and other lifestyle choices. I haven’t found anything else that best balances the monitoring of the strain you put on your body with how well you are recovering. This is something I recommend and use with many of my clients.
