For those of you who are born and want something to watch this week, here’s the last official Red Bull documentary they made of the Tennessee knockout. One of my favorite recaps to watch.

8/30/2026 at Motoland Motocross Park. I still got a bunch of weight to lose before my next Blythe, CA GP race in Nov. I crashed standing up today.

I've always considered myself a pretty healthy "athlete". Even though I certainly feel like I have a lot further to go in the "athlete" department. (We're always growing & progressing!) One thing I've struggled with the last three years is constant fatigue, inconsistent bouts of energy and really awful recovery. The lastest symptom being "poofy". So my brothers convinced me to get a full bloodwork panel done and when I tell you I was SURPRISED. As someone who already focused on Iron intake, Lives in Sunny California, and takes crazy amounts of electrolytes. These markers blew my mind. Which has led me down a rabbit hole of understanding that just because you're doing or consuming the right things, doesn't mean your body can optimize it. For example. Calcium, Caffiene & magnesium block your iron receptors. So if you consume a salad with ranch, blue cheese or other dairy. No dice. Fortified milk in your coffee? Also no good. Beef & cheese? Forget it. Electolytes while taking iron? Not going to work. But on top of that, Vitamin D carries calcium from your blood to your bones. Not enough Vitamin D? Too much Calcium in blood prevents iron absorbtion also. HOWEVER. You need to consume iron with Vitamin C for "optimal absorbtion". It makes me wonder what else are missing in how everything works together in the body? Moral of the story. If you "feel off" and you're convinced it's just "getting older" I learned...it's not. Shingles at 24? Not normal. Turns out my immune system is freaking about something. I would've never known without a blood test. Now more digging to come, but at least now I know, "It's not normal". Have you ever had a bloodwork panel done? DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT A NUTRITIONIST. THIS IS JUST SOME RAMBLINGS I'VE PUT TOGETHER FROM THE INTERNET. CONSULT A DOCTOR YADA YADA YADA.
