I'm sure there are many differing levels of “super human” and many differing opinions of what the phrase even means. Since we are all on a personal journey, we can only know what the phrase means to us. I can only know what becoming super human means to me. If you want to read a book on it, you can find about a hundred different opinions of how to become super human. Do a google search and you can find blogs, guidelines, and advice. And yes, “super human” sounds like such an arrogant, snooty phrase, but once you make a shift in your life, and improve yourself in ways that you never thought possible, “super human” sounds just about right.
If the current version of you is better than some past version of you, and the difference is night and day, you are now super human. If you look back at that past version of you and see only some frail, withered worm of a human, and you laugh at how foolish, and weak, and naive you were back then, and how you couldn't imagine living like that now, you are now super human.
And if you can foresee some better version of you when you clench your eyes closed and visualize a better life, better circumstance, better you, then it's there, the potential is there to become super human. You just need that spark that ignites and engulfs those pathetic past versions, and burns them away, and as ash and dust dance on ribbons of wind behind you, the new you is unveiled, the perfect version of you. You are now super human.
Now live in this moment, and exist as this version of you, but know that it is an ever-changing process. Even as you are now, somewhere inside of you is an even better version of you, a more perfect version of you, better in every way. Always improve. Always grow. Always be inspired.
Am I super human now? Undoubtedly, yes. If I compare myself in any way to the version of me who lived three years ago, or five, or ten years ago, then yes, I am without a doubt super human.
And just what does being super human entail for me?
I don't get sick. I don't feel tired. I have endless energy. I'm 31 years old, and feel and look better than I did when I was 20. I have 7.7% body fat. Seven years ago, while attending the Ottawa Senators training camp before my rookie season, I tested in at 13% body fat, and thought I was in the best shape of my life. Actually, that was the best shape of my life at that point. That was before I found out how to become super human. These external appearances are the most noticeable, but they are only surface accolades. The real metamorphosis is within. The real super human is on the inside, and that is the secret.
Yes, I am better in every way than I was three years ago, when the shift first started, and I can explain it in three ways.
Healthy Body.
Healthy Mind.
Healthy Spirit.
Let's start with the Body and go back three years to that non super human version of me. I think about what I was putting into my body back then, three years ago, when I was a withered worm, lost and void of meaning. The most obvious thing I put into my body back then was chewing tobacco. I was consumed by it, and flooded by it. Sometimes I think about how many pounds of that demon dust I stuck into my lip over the course of 11 years.

11 years. At least one can a day. One can is 40 grams.
40 grams x 365 days= 14, 600 grams per year
x 11 years= 160, 600 grams
That is equal to 354 lbs of chewing tobacco that I put into my mouth over the course of my addiction.
I can't lift 354 pounds. It weighed me down, had me pinned. Use whatever metaphor you need to drive the point home. My chewing tobacco “habit” was heavy.
Find out what is weighing you down, and make the cut. Make a clean break. Break free from it.
Once I broke free and got clean, the changes started to happen. I needed to replace those 354 pounds of worm shit with something else.
So instead of tobacco, I started putting all sorts of different things into my mouth. I started putting in vegetables, water, kale, brown rice, black beans, lentils, sweet potatoes, whey protein, vitamins, supplements, chicken, steak, coconut water, grapeseed oil, hemp hearts, hemp seeds, hemp protein, raw cacao, rice protein, pea protein.
I must have eaten at lease 354 pounds of kale alone. I started looking up “super foods” and only eating those foods. I went crazy with it. But I felt so good. I didn't know my body could feel so good. I didn't think it as possible, because I had been poisoning it for years and years.
I did more research and found out things that I should keep out of my mouth.
I eliminated high fructose corn syrup and vegetable oil right off the bat, and avoid those two substances like the plague. No more soda or pop. Now I only drink water, coconut water, almond milk, black coffee, and green tea. No more refined carbs. Only brown rice, potatoes, oats, and quinoa. My body feels alive! It all started making sense. I saw food as fuel, and decided that I was going to put the best fuel into my body.
But don't get me wrong, I'm no saint. If you eat like a super human 95% of the time, you can have cheat days and cheat meals. I love chocolate and candy bars, and when the time is right, I crush about 354 peanut butter cups, but I made sure to check the label to make sure there was no high fructose corn syrup or vegetable oil. I enjoy a jet black pint of Guinness, but everyone already knows that Guinness makes you stronger. I let myself have a greasy cheat meal or cheat day once a week, usually after the hockey games on the weekend. I enjoy what I earned, and then its back to kale shakes and chicken breasts and brown rice and kitchen monotony. You learn to love it. You love the discipline, but more importantly, you love the result. You love how you look and feel because of it. Believe me, you start to feel super human.
This is what I have to do as a pro hockey player, but knowing how I feel now, I would do it anyway. It just makes sense. I'm no nutritionist, and I'm not writing a nutrition Blog. This is a Blog about metamorphosis. It is a Blog about improvement, and making yourself the best version of you that can exist today, and being prepared to take it to the next level and be even better tomorrow. And it all starts with nutrition. It is the most important aspect in becoming super human, and lucky for you, it's the easiest part. Start now.
