Drinks
Metta Natural Awareness Beverage
This is for hard chargers! It’s full of adaptogenic herbs that will (like I said) adapt to the stressors of your body and give you what you need.
So, if you feel burnt out on caffein, this is for you!
Did you know that too much coffee will burn out your adrenal glands, don’t let it.

Cold Brew Coffee
Because it’s just smoother and more delicious than other types of coffee. And some of my favorite places to get cold brew coffee are Whole Foods Market, Starbucks (yes, Starbucks has good cold brew, even if you don’t like their other coffee).
Gear
Bear Komplex 3-Hole Grips
These guys are grippy, and have protected my hands for years.
WHOOP Strap
Because you need data, data, data! But, this is not the end all be all for deciding to train or not train. It’s just really good data. And the more data you have, for the longer you have it, the better training decisions you’ll be able to make.
If you want to optimize yourself, WHOOP is something you should have.

Garmin Fenix 5S Plus
Holy whoa, I did a LOT of research before buying this watch.
I looked at all of the other watches on the market, and weighed them back and forth for months.
And I went with the Garmin Fenix 5S Plus because of the awesome Topo Maps, small size, and the ability to program individual interval workouts (most can’t actually do this).
But you should know that you give up battery life because they thought you’d want to have Bluetooth music and the ability to pay for things with your Garmin while you’re out hiking or running in the woods. Strange right… I think so too.
That being said, the battery life is still like a week better than the AppleWatch.
Balega Hidden Comfort Socks
These are just the best socks that I know of right now. And I have like 10 pairs of them. They are super soft and cushy, and they stay that way for a long time. In fact, I still have my first pair from over 1.5 years ago. They are still cushy.
Shoes
Nike Metcon Frees
Just to be clear, I have the first edition of these. And I went with the first edition because they had more positive reviews than the second edition.
So, if you’re looking for a CrossFit/fitness shoe that is really great for running… this is the best running/CrossFit shoe that I’ve used.
Reebok Nano 8’s
These are the best All Around CrossFit/fitness shoes that I’ve ever had. And just because I know you’re thinking it… the Nike Metcon 4/5’s look fantastic, but they are too damn narrow. Your toes can’t spread out, and they should be spreading out.
That being said, these aren’t the best shoes for running. So, if your training includes a lot of running… the Nike Metcon Frees (which are wider than the Metcon 4/5’s) would be a better choice. Or buy both.
Supplements
Blonyx HMB+Creatine
This is the best gosh darn creatine product that I’ve ever used. And I’ve come back to it for years! It’s worth the extra price if you want the most gains.

PerfectAmino
Right here you have my favorite recovery product. If you take 8-10 of these pills before training (on empty stomach), or after training (on an empty stomach), you will be less sore than with any other protein powder that I’ve tried.
These are simply the best recovery proteins (yes aminos make up proteins), but you probably will really appreciate them if you’re lactose intolerant, or into not eating animals.
Also, if you’re wondering, my runner up us is Progenex Recovery. Which for some reason seems to be disappearing from CrossFit.

Blonyx Beta Alanine
This stuff simply makes you feel like you can push harder during metabolic conditioning workouts. Enough said? You can test this on an Assault Bike.

Blonyx Egg White Protein
So, eggs are the most complete protein in nature, and Blonyx is one of the smartest supplement companies in the US. And this stuff tastes like chocolate milk. #boom

Grass-Fed Whey Protein Isolate & Colostrum by PNP Supplements
I like to keep this protein powder on hand because it’s the best protein that I’ve had to mix into my coffee. And the Banana Creme is the best flavor. Even though it sounds weird… just go with it!

High Falls Extracts CBD
At this point I’ve tried over a half dozen different CBD oils, and this one has worked the best. Meaning, the best for sleep, relaxation, and inflammation.
If anyone needs help sleeping… CBD is the first thing I recommend. But you need to commit for over a month. Therefor, you might not notice it for a few weeks.
Food
Organic or sourced everything!
If you can afford Organic, you should buy it, it’s just going to be better food for you, period.
Kale, spinach, wheat grass
Eat green leafy veggies often and in boatloads because they will help fulfill your vitamin and mineral needs. And buy organic.
I like to make these into shakes with my NutriBullet Pro. Just make sure you get the Pro because it has more RPM’s and blends the fibrous stuff much better.
Perfect Bars
These are bars that have basic ingredients. Think eggs, honey, nuts, etc. None of that crap that you can’t identify.
Stay away from processed things that you can’t understand being in your products. This simple rule will make you healthier.
