Today’s blog is probably long overdue, it just took a question from one of our clients that triggered me to get it out to you guys. I was talking with a client this morning who mentioned to me that she really likes following our blogs, she asked if I had any idea where she could get more information like the stuff we put out. Of course! Just as our clients are always learning new things, we’re striving to do the same! With this in mind I put together a short list of blogs I myself (and many AFS staff) follow for inspiriation, education, and even a little entertainment. Check them out!
Dr. David Katz
I know what you’re thinking, but no, this guy did not work as an extra on Grey’s Anatomy. He’s actually a really practical, intelligent, and inspiring influencer in the world of nutrition and preventative medicine. He has a social media following of over 500,000 which is 499,950 more than I have. Check out his bio if you’re curious!
Follow him for:

Bret Contreras
Bret Contreras, or as he’s more commonly known: “The Glute Guy,” is a great resource for info on exercise technique, biomechanics, and strength and conditioning. As you can see in the photo, he’s really serious about maximal glute activation..He even invented his own piece of equipment that aids with the hip thrust movement you see above. For great info on how to build a butt and so much more, he’s the guy.
Follow him for:
- Tweaks to technique
- Biomechanics

Stephan is constantly involved in ongoing conversations about the great carbohydrate debate. Low Carb? No Carb? High Carb? He’ll probably be the one to definitively answer that question one day.
