###**(click the picture for more pix!)** TOM: Tom Talks is the first partnered fitness streamer on Twitch. Circa 2007 (10~ years ago) Tom was so crippled with back pain he could barely walk. Sometimes his sciatica was so bad he had to crawl to the bathroom in the middle of the night with the help of Helen. When his back did get better and he was able to lift weights, his body didn’t change very much and he didn’t know what he was doing. Tom’s learned how simple diet and training can be and is helping others through online coaching. You don’t need to kill yourself with cardio or eat an awful diet that is not sustainable. You can achieve a healthy, fit lifestyle while still having time for the things you love. Stop by the Twitch Stream when it’s live and we’ll will help you get started with free Q&A! NASM CPT, CNC, VCS, COEE Building your own home gym can be affordable and simple. Even if you have very little space and money, there are options for you. [Home Gym Page](http://www.tominationtime.com/gym/) For those wondering about my back issues, I have piriformis syndrome (similar to sciatica) made worse by Ankylosing Spondylitis. AS is a life long incurable disease where my immune system will keep attacking my spine, making all back issues worse. I also have SI joint degeneration and two small disk herniations in my L4-L5-S1 disks. It sounds bad, but I believe we can all find purpose and focus in any defeating event. What’s your purpose? What’s your focus? Mine is to fight AS the rest of my life through exercise to stay strong. If you need a place for motivation to find your focus in life, come here to feed your brain and feed your body! Tom is also COEE certified for office ergonomics.

Never took steroids, SARMs, SERMs, or any kind of PEDs before. Had medically low T and TRT did not help resolve symptoms (except libido). Technically I am no longer natty.

We don't always take supplements, but when we do, we prefer Legion. We have followed the owner (Mike Matthews) for years and he pushes for quality science to select proven ingredients. He is turning the supplement world upside down by pushing for non-proprietary formulas (he shows his exact formulas and dosages) and he uses solid evidence based research for HUMANS. You don't need supplements, but if you buy any, purchase from Legion to get your money's worth. Tom’s personally enjoyed their Forge/Phoenix fat burners for a few % increase on fat loss. Ask Tom live to explain how to take them! Use the affiliate code below!

LF Gaming chairs is a truly high end build that is an investment for your health. They're custom made in Canada (instead of mass produced in China) with a 30 day money back guarantee. Don't settle for cheap aesthetic gaming chairs. If you're in a chair for HOURS every day, then seriously consider investing in a truly ergonomic chair for your health and life. I believe in these chairs so much that I WILL PAY FOR YOUR RETURN SHIPPING IF YOU DON'T LIKE THEM. TRULY ZERO $ RISK TO GET IT.
