Hey Heart & Soil Tribe,
After helping thousands of people transform their health, we’ve learned something powerful: radical health is built on the fundamentals.
When motivation fails (and it will), the fundamentals keep us strong.
When life gets crazy (and it will), the fundamentals keep us strong.
When you’re facing stress, indecision, and fatigue, the fundamentals keep us strong.
This week, we’ve hand-picked 5 fundamentals that will transform your health in 2025.
Embrace these fundamentals until they become second nature.
Integrate them into your life – even if it’s just a little bit at first – and watch how they guide you toward radical health.
1. Rely On Discipline, Not Motivation
Right now, most people are riding high on motivation.
They got that ‘New Year’ buzz.
But we all know that only lasts so long.
Then what do you do?
Motivation is doing what you want when you want to do it.
Discipline is doing what needs to be done, even when you’d rather stay in bed.
Make 2025 the year you become the disciplined person who shows up for themselves, rain or shine.
2. Re-evaluate Your Relationship With Your Phone
Look at your screen time right now. Be honest. Do the math – what does that mean per week? Per month? Per year?
Now think about how you could use that time in 2025 to improve your health or quality of life instead.
More time with your kids or spouse? ✅
More time preparing nutritious meals? ✅
More time walking barefoot through a grassy pasture among the cows? ✅
Make 2025 the year you take back your focus. Leave your phone in a different room.
Get it out of your bedroom.
Use your phone as the tool it was meant to be, instead of letting it use you.
3. Prioritize Protein
No matter what your health goals are – building muscle, losing fat, fixing an autoimmune issue – prioritizing protein will always help you.
There’s magic in protein – it’s literally the cheat code for optimal health.
The more quality protein you eat, the leaner you’ll likely become, the more satisfied you’ll feel after meals, and the less room you’ll have for junk food.
Aim for about a gram per pound of your ideal body weight, focusing on nutrient-dense sources like grass-fed ruminant meats.
Get Animal-Based Protein if you need some help hitting your protein goals.
Your body, mind, and waistline will thank you.
4. Make Home Cooking Non-Negotiable
Want a simple rule that cuts through most diet confusion?
Cook 90% of your meals at home.
When you prepare your own food using real, animal-based ingredients, you automatically eliminate most of the junk that derails your health goals.
Plus, you’ll save money and build a deeper connection with your food.

5. Get Outside for 1 Hour Daily
Yes, even in winter.
Yes, even when it’s cold.
Your cells are literally starving for sunlight and connection with nature.
Make it non-negotiable – your health depends on it.
Break it up into smaller chunks if you need to, but get outside every single day.
Remember, radical health is your birthright. Let’s make 2025 the year you claim it.
