A fundamental part of health is your relationships and who you choose to invite into your life.

You can eat healthy food, sleep well, and work towards financial independence.

However, if you choose a romantic partner who inhibits your growth, peace, and the foundation you’ve spent years building, you may face challenges.

In the past few months, I’ve unfortunately known of three previous coworkers who are men of all ages working in the restaurant industry having a stroke, and the passing of one who died of a heart attack before his morning shift.

It’s becoming increasingly common that it’s something I can’t look past and not discuss.

If you want to sustain energy as a hospitality professional, then eating an adequate amount of protein is essential to staying fueled throughout the shift.

Long hours on your feet, irregular meal times, and high physical and mental demands can quickly deplete energy stores, leading to fatigue, brain fog, and intense cravings later in the night.

In 2020, I would often wake up in the middle of the night with numbness in both of my arms, which was a terrifying feeling.

My doctor suggested I should try massage therapy, but a few months later, while out for a run, I experienced a painful tightening in my back and left arm. After seeing a chiropractor, he discovered a lump under my left armpit and advised me to have it examined further.
