Owners of CrossFit Mountain Island, Coty and Noelle Bradburn deep dive into the CrossFit Nutrition Guide to explain a comprehensive strategy for improving health and fitness through diet. They first establish a theoretical foundation by discussing chronic disease and the crucial role of insulin and its management through nutrition, advocating for a shift from sickness toward wellness and fitness via the Sickness-Wellness-Fitness Continuum. They emphasize eating high-quality, unprocessed foods and provide practical steps for quantifying food intake using specific macronutrient ratios (40% carbs, 30% protein, 30% fat), tracking progress with health markers and benchmarks, and using the Eyeball Method.

The concept of "The Gap & The Gain" is like a masterclass on positive psychology, healthy relationships, mental well-being and high-performance. 

Most people, especially highly ambitious people, are unhappy because of how they measure their progress. In this podcast Noelle & Coty discuss how reframing your mindset can be the difference between being happy and unhappy in every aspect of your life. 

We all have an ideal, a moving target that is always out of reach. When we measure ourselves against that ideal, we're in "The Gap". However, when we measure ourselves against our previous selves, we're in "The Gain".

Joe was tempting fate when he was on the verge of 300#.  He was tempting fate as a friend, as a spouse and as a father.  His wake-up call came in a moment of desperation when his daughter needed him the most, but his health stopped him in his tracks. In this podcast, Joe and I discuss how he found himself in the situation that he was in and what he did to dig his way out of it. What actually worked for him and what kind of mental self-talk he had to implement to stick with his goals.  

Joe is a successful professional and a key player at his company and after trying a handful of different ways to solve his problem, he believes he's found what truly works for him in regard to exercise, nutrition and mindset. At this point in his journey Joe understands how to reframe his mindset and predominantly see food as fuel and his workouts as opportunities to get mentally tougher, physically stronger and more spiritually grounded for himself, his children and his spouse.  What kind of potential do you have in front of you? Take a page out of Joe's book and solve the problem for yourself.  Take action.  Make a decision.  As Joe would say, "Kill the fat between your ears."

We've all heard it before.   

"Eat healthy, workout, don't go out on benders on the weekends and you'll see the change you want."  

Easier said than done when it comes at the expense of your social life and mental / emotional well-being. Or at least our perception of it.
