Bradley Jarryd primarily works as a health coach to help clients around the world create a healthy and sustainable lifestyle while reaching their fitness goals. He specializes in helping people achieve their weight loss goals and increase their energy levels. "I am a huge advocate of making health and nutrition as enjoyable as possible. It should not be a chore to exercise and eat fruit and veggies. My story is that I always had a sweet tooth (still do) along with a humongous appetite (I easily complete 2 burrito bowls from Chipotle in one sitting) without an athletic background and had to find ways to get the body I have always wanted while working against these factors. Cheating exercise into everyday life, using positive affirmations and psychology and using spices instead of sauces as flavor enhancers are just a dew ways I was able to get there and is something I stress to my clients," Bradley shares. In this podcast interview, Bradley Jarryd teaches us EVERYTHING we need to know about achieving our weight loss goals through smoothies. He also talks about the importance of starting your day off right. "Your first 30 min-hour should be to meditate, listen/read something positive, and speak positive affirmations.  For nutrition: download an app to track your nutrition and do it for a week. Exercise is great and important to overall health, but we will always need food until the day we die and honing in on your diet will do far more than exercise will. Rid yourself of excuses. Excuses are only an attempt to feel ok about not accomplishing something. Whenever an excuse comes up like "I don't have time to exercise today," instead say to yourself "how can I find time to workout today?" This will force your brain to create solutions."
