We often talk about our disdain for the diet industry and how poorly the fitness industry often addresses nutrition. We lean in on what needs to change and what's wrong but I've heard the question a million times...."So I'm not supposed to go on a restrictive diet, now what do I do?" Because the truth is we've been conditioned to think we need to be on or off some "plan" for us to be healthy and that's just not the case. 

In this episode, Tyler and I focus not on what's wrong with the industry, but instead, the small tangible steps you can take to help discover health & food freedom.

"It's time to do the hard S#!T!"- Whether most of us like it or not there comes a time in health and fitness where we have to battle, we have to push past the point we feel comfortable and do the hard s#!t to make a change and come out the other side a better version of ourselves. Today Heidi and I brought on a guest speaker- Tyler Whitmer- Olympic Sports Performance Director from Boise State to help us find the best approach to getting this done. Tyler has worked with 1000's of athletes at elite levels and knows the best way and mindset to accomplish your goals. Not only does he provide amazing insight into the physical and mental understanding of fitness and health, but he also gives great insight into how to make these principles last for a lifetime, not just a short motivational moment. You are going to love this episode and really enjoy his insight on taking what he learned from elite athletes and applying it to your fitness goals.

Importance of Knowing Your Numbers- we all know we need to do, we should do it and even some of us actually get around to doing it.....what exactly, our yearly physical. On this episode of the pod Heidi and I bring on Travis Smith- PA from Phoenix AZ to talk about the importance of the yearly physical. He goes over from head to toe the importance of getting a physical every year and how to find a doctor/PA that works best for you. We also ask questions to get to the bottom of all things that can come up during a physical and try to outline the importance of you getting yours on the books this year!
