Greetings! Today, I’m going to share some of my personal “rules for health.” These aren’t rules in the sense that I never deviate from them or punish myself when I do. Rather, they’re things I try to abide by each day. They’re my health non-negotiables (most of the time). Some of these are evidence-based: formed from research that seemed applicable and likely to lead to positive health or performance outcomes.
