We truly believe that everyone needs a coach at certain times in their life to push through plateaus, learn and grow as a person.

Both Meghan and I use coaches when we need that accountability to push to our next level of health and fitness and ultimately become better coaches in the process.

If you are not sure if hiring a coach is for you, take a listen and learn why NOT having a coach could be the one thing that is holding you back from what it is you are trying to achieve.

Has anyone every told you getting old sucks? Guaranteed it is because they are not handling life's stress very well, maybe haven't had a good night sleep in weeks or months, don't move their body consistently and eat like they are still in there 20's.

As we go through the decades, how we live needs to change and adapt as well. As we get older we do not handle stress the same as we did in our 20's, we need to put more emphasis on recovery, sleep and strength training while hitting our protein targets to maintain that calorie burning lean muscle.

If you are still doing what you have always done, but cannot figure out why you are not longer able to lose the extra fat, or why you are starting to gain body fat or just feel exhausted day in and day out, learn what we now do differently so that we stay strong.

I don't know about you, but snacking is one of my downfalls when it comes staying on track with my nutrition.

When my husband pulls out cheese and crackers, or a salami, or anything really, I feel the need to have some when in reality I don't need it.

Snacking is one of those habits that can push you out of a deficit very easily into either maintenance or surplus calories and then clients wonder why they are not seeing changes.

So why do we feel the need to snack? Keep listening for our take on why this habit is so hard to break.

I promise we do not ask for weekly check-ins to annoy you and have one more thing for you to do each week. But checking in with your coach is vital to your success.

Weekly check-ins are a way for us as coaches to make sure any and all questions or concerns are addressed ASAP, to measure non-scale victories like sleep, recovery, performance in the gym, digestion and hunger level.

Its in these check ins that the magic happens with client progress and success.

So when we ask for your weekly check-in it is because we care and we want to see you succeed!

This is a quick life bite episode as I still get use to talking solo :) Today I am chatting about how your nutrition and training plans affect your body composition and why having a coach to help assess these areas is the fast track to success.

This quick 6+ min chat will hopefully leave you thinking about your current nutrition and training strategies and how to go about making some tweaks.

Ill admit is it weird talking by myself even though I talk to myself all the time :)

On the podcast I chat about burnout and overwhelm as I have been in that space for a couple of weeks as I am finishing up a 12 week nutrition cert course so that I can better serve my clients and add a new branch to the business. But what I have learned about burnout and feeling overwhelmed is that is how we are conditioned to react to stressful situations - its our behaviours and habits.

I talk about 5 behaviours, all of which I am guilty of, to simply bring awareness so that it can be corrected over time.

1. the need to prove yourself

2. the human doing

3. completion addict

4. the perfectionist

5. the people pleaser

Maybe one or more of these behaviours resonate with you? Take a listen and let me know what you think or if I missed a possible behaviour or habit that leads to burnout and overwhelm for you let me know

Think about consuming the life you WANT vs the life you have.

When making a change in your life be it career, health, relationships, nutrition, there are sacrifices that will happen in order for you to change who you are.

Becoming unhealthy to healthy requires sacrifices in time to workout, prep and cook homemade meals.  Becoming broke to financially stable requires sacrifice in your current spending habits or taking the time to find a different job or career path.  Getting out of an unhealthy relationship requires sacrifice in how you think about what you deserve in a relationship to have the confidence to move on.

Change requires give and take and you must be ok with that in order to move into a different version of you.  It will not be easy and you will fail, but as long as you keep taking those steps forward the change or shift will happen.

As always, we love being social on our socials, so be sure to hang out with us on our social media platforms.  We love meeting new people, answering your questions AND keeping you in the loop of any programs or projects we have going on that can help you on your wellness journey.

In this short but I think insightful episode we chat about keeping it real with your food.  Today's society is very convenient and processed and it shows in our high rates of lifestyle diseases and obesity.  

We talk about 5 real food basics that you can use to start turning your nutrition around if you are overwhelmed by where to start and what will make the biggest impact without a ton of effort.

1. drink water

2. eat your protein

3. limit your sugar

4. limit your alcohol

5. track your food

Basically if it run, swims, flys or grows from the ground eat it.

Hind sight is a beautiful thing isn't it.  You look back at the decisions you made, the actions you took or didn't take and wish you had maybe done a few things differently.

Fitness journeys are no different as we talk about nutrition, training ideas and training mindset and things we wish we knew then that would have helped us in our fitness journeys today.

What things do you wish you knew before you started?  What would you have changed or done differently?  Leave us a comment we would love to know.

And as always, we love being social on our socials, so be sure to hang out with us on our social media platforms.  We love meeting new people, answering your questions AND keeping you in the loop of any programs or projects we have going on that can help you on your wellness journey.
