(repost from my Travel Blog at https://www.travelblog.org/Bloggers/Nicholas-John-Nakis/) In 2007, I learned about this thing the Rastas call “Ital”. Ital is an Iyaric (Rasta talk) word that means “vital”, but with the connotation of “I” (as in, “I am vital”, or “my vitality”). It can also mean, “I-Tall,” as in, “these are the things that makeContinue reading “Ital Food & Tsom Food”

What is “Health & Fitness Coaching”?
My business cards say, “Health & Fitness Coaching.” But, what exactly does that mean? What do I really do? The services I provide are Individual Design Coaching programs, One-on-One Training, and At-Home Training. That just tells you what’s on the menu, though, it doesn’t really tell you what I DO. In order to understand that,Continue reading “What is “Health & Fitness Coaching”?”
CrossFit History Lessons, Pt. 6

Here are the 5 blog posts leading up to this one, if you want to catch up: CrossFit History Lessons, Pt. 1 CrossFit History Lessons, Pt. 2 CrossFit HistoryContinue reading “CrossFit History Lessons, Pt. 6”
CrossFit History Lessons, Pt. 1
CrossFit hasn’t changed their core message in 18 years, but we who’ve been through it know better now. Here is the first in a series of blogs about it. This is a photo of a care package I sent to my brother in Iraq in the autumn of 2003. I had recently discovered this websiteContinue reading “CrossFit History Lessons, Pt. 1”
Food Pictures, Some More
Two food picture posts in one week? I must be getting lazy! No, I just don’t have it in me to write a lot today and I’ve been piling up these food photos. So, here you go.
Nourishment
This week, I’m posting collections of my 130+ blogs. I’m collecting them into topics so that they’re easier for readers to locate. Today, it’s nourishment: blogs about nutrition.

Individual Design Coaching: Design Your Program
Program Design There’s that picture again. I like to show that picture. It’s the “health house” that I’ve expounded upon numerous times. This time, it’s in the context of explaining Individual Design Coaching. Earlier, I wrote about the Consultation, and then the Assessment. The next step is cooperative: designing your program. When WE go toContinue reading “Individual Design Coaching: Design Your Program”
Personalized Nutrition: Hydration
Wait… hydration again? I’ve been talking about personalized nutrition, and I already addressed hydration a couple of days ago in a bullet point under “Basic Lifestyle Guidelines.” Well, hydration is important enough to talk about more than once. I talk to clients about hydration first when we’re working on the ‘foundation’ that is their healthyContinue reading “Personalized Nutrition: Hydration”
Personalized Nutrition: BLGs
This is the second blog in a series I’m writing about personalized nutrition. The whole idea behind personalized nutrition is that you eat what is right for you, NOT what is right for someone else (or what sells the most of a particular product, pays lobbyists’ salaries, or is trending on Twitter right now). PersonalizedContinue reading “Personalized Nutrition: BLGs”
All Power to All the People
This week, I’ve been talking about 3 big problems that face us as individuals, and hurt our collective well-being: Many people are living meaningless and dishonest lives. Many people are moving minimally and insufficiently. Many people are eating only for emotions and mouth pleasure. In answer to these, I have proposed 3 solutions: Be yourContinue reading “All Power to All the People”
