Morning Routines: How, Why, and Avoiding the Dramatic Versions.

This is the first of a new general series that I am calling the ‘Dramatic Fitness Industry’. In these episodes we will walk through various topics that social media tends to over-complicate, to the point there is no longer benefit. We will take these usually beneficial topics and bring simplicity back, so you can learn how to really help yourself. In todays episode we discuss the idea of Morning Routines, and what actually must be involved for them to be successful. And, by successful, what I mean is a morning routine that leads to high energy, a good mood, and better decisions the rest of the day. Listen in and I hope this helps!

Detoxification of your body: Truths and Myths, Why and How.

In this episode I dig into the topic of detoxification. Detoxing, as an industry, is projected to reach a valuation of $88 BILLION dollars by 2033. That’s right, a near 100 billion dollar industry. And here is the ironic part: we are spending unfathomable amounts of money on a system that is near free. The actual cost? Groceries. That’s it. So what is the detox system? How does it actually work? Why have certain myths come about, and what can we do to avoid continuing to waste our time and money doing what the body already does so well. You will leave this episode with some very clear strategies on what to do to detoxify your system in the only way that actually helps with decreased risk of disease, feeling better daily, and possibly even losing weight.

You will hear today why it is crucial for your brain health, executive function and longevity to keep specific types of athletic exercises in your routines.

8 Categories of Nutrition: Fat loss vs. weight loss and feeling energetic.

This has been a passion topic of mine for as long as I’ve been a trainer. And it stems from the disconnect between what we are hoping to achieve and what we read on the internet will get us there. The goal of this episode is to provide some clarity for you. Clarity of why you aren’t achieving the outcomes you hope. Clarity of the specific changes you need to make. And clarity of how to decrease your frustrations with nutrition. We will cover: * The actual difference between fat loss and weight loss * How feeling more energetic ties into each. * The 8 categories of nutrition (we all fall into one). * A quick touch point of how your cardio efforts might be misleading.
