The Power of Disconnecting to Recharge: 

A Summer Adventure with My Power of 5 Teammate

As a strong advocate for the Power of 5 formula for longevity, I firmly believe in the importance of taking breaks. They’re not just about relaxation. They’re about recharging your commitment to a healthy lifestyle and fostering meaningful connections with loved ones. That’s why my wife Melissa (my incredible Power of 5 Life teammate) and I are embarking on a well-deserved summer adventure!

Lead by Example

We spend a significant amount of time creating content – writing, speaking, consulting, and cooking – all focused on empowering others to make healthy choices. We believe in leading by example, and this summer, we’ll be putting the Power of 5 into action as we travel across the country.

Our itinerary takes us from our sunny home in Tampa to bustling Chicago, the vibrant West Coast of LA, the serene beauty of Fan du Lac (Wisconsin), the heartland of Cleveland, and the picturesque landscapes of New York, Massachusetts, and Vermont, before heading back south. The cooler temperatures will be a welcome change, and we’re excited for opportunities to hike, breathe fresh air, soak up the sun (hello, Vitamin D), and create lasting memories!

Reconnect & Explore

But this trip isn’t just about ticking off locations. It’s about practicing what we preach. While we’re dedicated to maintaining our health and fitness, downtime allows us to reconnect as a couple, explore new places and cultures, and meet new people. We can’t wait to catch up with loved ones and old friends and create new experiences, all while escaping the daily grind for a while.

De-Stress & Foster Connections

This summer adventure embodies the heart of the Power of 5. Healthy eating, exercise, and sleep are crucial, but so is de-stressing and fostering meaningful connections. By incorporating these elements, we’re not just taking a vacation, we’re investing in our overall well-being.

Follow along on our journey! We’ll be sharing snippets of our adventures. We’ll include healthy recipes we discover along the way. And we’ll share tips on how to integrate the Power of 5 formula into your own travel plans. After all, a healthy lifestyle doesn’t have to be confined to your home routine. It’s a journey best shared with loved ones, new and old.

Stay tuned for exciting updates! And remember, prioritizing your well-being is the ultimate key to a long and fulfilling life!

To a long and healthy life,
