An honest first-person reflection drawn from my own life experience about this project, my daily philosophy, and the diverse topics that shape Trebellos.
Welcome to Trebellos! This is my personal space for general knowledge, outreach, opinion, and reflection. A digital corner where I write both thorough guides and personal reflections, lessons learned, and everyday experiences across the areas that shape how I understand and navigate life on my own terms.
How I View This Space
I do not claim to preach, sell miracle formulas, or offer guru advice. I firmly believe that life is learned by living it: experimenting with habits, making mistakes, adjusting your course, and building your own critical judgment over the years. This project brings together two complementary perspectives: on one hand, objective guides and analyses grounded in scientific evidence and practical data; on the other, opinion pieces and personal experiences born from my own daily journey.
The Seven Subject Areas I Write About
Across the site’s various sections, I explore the aspects I consider essential for building a balanced, mindful, and meaningful life:
- 🥗 Nutrition: Informative analyses of evidence-based diets and nutrition, alongside reflections on cultivating a healthy, dogma-free relationship with real food.
- 🏃 Fitness & Sports: Guides on various physical disciplines (strength, functional training, running, swimming, yoga, Pilates…), consistency, and exercise as a tool for long-term discipline and vitality.
- 🩺 Health: Active prevention, postural health and workplace ergonomics, sleep quality, regular blood work, and cellular hydration approached with physiological rigor.
- 🧠 Mental Health: The neurobiology of stress and cortisol regulation, restorative rest, reclaiming focus amidst digital fatigue, and the value of silence in the face of constant noise.
- 📈 Personal Finance: My perspective on money: systematic saving, clear taxation in Spain (IRPF income tax, tax filings, corporate structures, self-employment), and sensible investing to gain peace of mind, freedom, and time of your own.
- ✈️ Travel: Comprehensive guides to international destinations and comparisons between travel styles (independent, backpacking, or all-inclusive) to explore the world with genuine curiosity and light luggage.
- 💻 Technology: Practical analyses of everyday consumer electronics (computers, monitors, televisions, efficient automotive tech) and purposeful tools serving personal sovereignty and productivity.
Opinion & Personal Reflections Section
Beyond the technical guides and specialized analyses in each category, in the Opinion Articles section I share firsthand my most direct, real experiences: from my body recomposition journey going from 97 to 72 kg and how I stopped obsessing over counting calories, to insights on setting healthy boundaries and finding everyday calm.
“Observe, experiment, learn, and share with honesty. If any of these pages offers a useful perspective for your own path, it will have been well worth it.”
