FHP 547 - Cardio For Fat Loss - Yay Or Nay?

November 28, 2023 15:00 - 38 minutes - 26.6 MB

I talk a lot about strength work for body recomp and fat loss. Because muscle is metabolic magic. It truly stokes our metabolic fire.

November 14, 2023 15:00 - 38 minutes - 26.2 MB

Life is about constant exploration. About constant growth. About constantly challenging ourselves to learn and improve.

October 31, 2023 15:00 - 42 minutes - 29.4 MB

Muscle stokes our metabolic fire. Often if we just focused on building muscle, we would ultimately be leaner and see fat loss results faster.

October 17, 2023 20:00 - 26 minutes - 18.4 MB

You can’t stop getting older. But you can DEFINE HOW YOU AGE. Our body will change. Our needs and goals will evolve. But getting older doesn’t have to mean decline. We can lead our healthiest, happiest lives at any and every age as long as we embrace evolution to meet ourselves where we are at.

FHP 539 - Why Is Nothing Working?!

October 03, 2023 15:00 - 45 minutes - 31.6 MB

Sometimes it feels like nothing is working! No matter how hard we try, we stay stuck in the same spot, asking ourselves, "Why is nothing working?!" A lot of the time, what it takes is going back to those boring basics. As much as it's tempting to search for a magic pill, as much as it's tempting to think we'll set a goal and that motivation will drive us... If we don't take action the right way, we won't progress, and we'll be stuck thinking, "WHY IS NOTHING WORKING?!" That's why in this...

FHP 538 - You're Sabotaging Your Own Success...Here's How

September 26, 2023 18:00 - 39 minutes - 27 MB

We are often our own worst enemy. And it comes back to the fact that whether we believe we can or we can’t we’re right. How we perceive things, dictates our actions - whether we see things as obstacles or opportunities is our choice. That’s why I wanted to discuss some common ways we sabotage ourselves, including what I call our “Selfless Sabotage.”  One of my fabulous coaches Andrea will provide some great tips to help us even learn to be a bit SELFISH!

FHP 535 - Is it Healthy? Busting Food Labels

September 05, 2023 13:00 - 47 minutes - 32.8 MB

Many healthy terms and habits have evolved over time. Keto now is not what keto originally was. Tabata now refers to so many variations of intervals it didn’t originally stand for. And I don’t think the evolution of terms is a bad thing. HOWEVER, these healthy terms can become distorted and misused to market things to us that actually sabotage our results. We can also stop seeing the NUANCE in things which makes us demonize foods or training methods that may actually benefit us. That’s...

FHP 534 - Challenging 'Healthy' Habits and The Truth About Net Carbs

August 26, 2023 03:00 - 29 minutes - 20.1 MB

We all want to get away with whatever we can. What I mean by this is…if something seems like a short cut or a way around what we “should” be doing, we are going to take it.
