Ep. 117 Are You Setting Yourself Up For Success?

May 01, 2023 04:00 - 14 minutes - 13.6 MB

Intention is the difference between stumbling upon success and deliberately creating it...

You see, true results are delayed by 60-90 days, especially when it comes to our health and fitness. We all love instant gratification but the work you're putting into your workouts, your nutrition, your sleep, and your recovery won't show up the first few days. We need to keep...

April 17, 2023 04:00 - 40 minutes - 37.1 MB

It’s that time of year coming out of the winter months that we all want to look & feel good and that starts with... Your habits.

Our guest and good friend is going to take us thro...

Ep.98 These Are The Foods That Make Fat Loss Easier

December 19, 2022 05:00 - 33 minutes - 30.6 MB

Fat loss isn’t about eating specific “fat-burning” foods... Going into a fat loss phase is pretty simple (as long as you're not metabolically adapted or dealing with hormone issues)... It just takes eating in a modest calorie deficit, eating plenty of protein and whole foods, staying active daily, managing stress, and sleeping 7-9 hrs/night. But just because a fat loss phase is SIMPLE, it isn’t EASY. Understanding WHAT to do is easier than knowing HOW to do it. You need ...

Ep.94 Why Your Calorie Deficit Isn't Working

November 21, 2022 05:00 - 21 minutes - 19.6 MB

Sometimes people get confused in thinking that losing weight is all about “calories in vs calories out”... So they think… as long as I’m eating less than I’m burning, I’ll lose weight. And definitely makes them think, “if I’m eating WAY less than I’m burning, then I’ll lose MORE weight” But I can’t tell you how many times women come to me saying they can’t even get themselves to eat more than 1300, 1400, 1500 calories… yet they are also saying that their clothes dont fit and they wan...
