125: Questions to ask yourself if/when you hit a 'plateau'

Friday, January 31, 2025 • Duration 49:35

For all my people who are in a fat loss phase (or are planning to start sometime in the near future) let’s talk about how you can get out of a weight loss plateau.

Usually, it just means you’re not being consistent enough to see progress.. Or that maybe you’re missing the mark with a handful of things.

Once some adjustments are made - there’s a good chance you’ll be back on track and seeing the progressions you’re hoping for.

The main areas we'll talk about on this episode: Nutrition, Movement, Exercise, Lifestyle, Sleep and Stress Management.

Make adjustments as needed and continue to be patient.

35: Reasons why you feel bloated all the time + what to do about it (that have nothing to do with food sensitivities). Gut health + strategies to improve your digestion

Monday, February 27, 2023 • Duration 43:01

Gut health has been a huge topic as of recent (and it should be).

The gut is at the root of everything you do nutritionally so if your gut isn't working well.. everything else is going to be a challenge.

But just because you're bloated, doesn't always mean you have a gut based issue or a 'food sensitivity'.

Let's talk about some common things that you might be able to identify with that can lead to bloating as a side effect + how to change it.

31: Health and fitness industry marketing tricks

Tuesday, January 10, 2023 • Duration 31:04

There's a lot BS that gets sold to you this time of year (or literally any time of the year). A lot of people, companies, brands, books... etc prey on peoples emotions and sell them on their insecurities.

Which pisses me off.

Let's talk about five things I hate about a lot of fitness and diet marketing.

Consider these as ‘red flags’ you should look out for:

1. Overblown results-based promises

2. Promising you revolutionary information or 'secrets'

3. Over-promoting one individual method

4. Over-emphasising the short-term

5. Neglecting other aspects of your overall well-being

Plus a ton of other stuff in between.

TIA for listening.

Don't fall for the BS and keep making the best decisions for you.
