Unlocking Your Full Potential: Making That One Decision That Changes Your Life Forever

In this episode, we explore the power of making that one decision that can your change your life forever. As a health coach, one of the things I have uncovered is that many clients love to hide behind their issues, their ailments, their weight to protect themselves. We all hide in different ways, and it's amazing that our body weight can often stop us from reaching our full potential. Weight loss is not a physical challenge, it's a mental one. Things start happening once we release the weight, or we let go of the identity of our ailment, other areas in our life start to open. Once we make the decision to drop the weight, it allows us to step into our future and WHAM…the flood gates start to open. Our friends Alan and Angie Thomas join the podcast and share their personal stories and unique approach to weight loss. They do not tell clients what to eat or how to exercise. It does not involve any medication as they are not nutritionists or medical professionals, but they've found a formula for quickly shedding pounds permanently. Alan and Angie and their clients have had miraculous results. Join Alan and Angie for their free training where they share a simple 5-step strategy for permanent weight loss. This was how they personally dropped a total of 192 pounds in 260 days and they have helped countless others do the same thing. You'll learn: * The simple step-by-step game plan to drop hundreds of pounds * Why the "perfect diet" is a myth * How to break out of "food prison" * How to change your eating habits for good * Why excess calories are NEVER the root of obesity You can register for this free training now at transformmyfuture.com/wellandwise [https://transformmyfuture.com/wellandwise] Now is the time to get back your confidence, your energy, and your LIFE!

Dave recently completed a bucket list goal by summitting his 48th and final peak from New Hampshire's 4000-footer list [http://4000footers.com/nh.shtml].

From the challenging ascent of Mt Washington to the beauty of the Bonds, each hike offers its own unique set of obstacles and rewards. Whether you are an experienced hiker or a novice looking to take on a new challenge, the 48, 4000 footers provide an opportunity to expand your limits and discover nature at its finest in the White Mountains of New Hampshire.
