This week I had special guest Meredith Delamare, Meredith is an ETP coach and one of the Customer Service Team for ETP so we went through common questions that come up from new members.

What supplements work, which are useful and what can be potentially harmful. These were the topics for this weeks building blocks podcast.

Truthfully this should have been the first Building Blocks because it might be the biggest reason most people struggle reaching their body composition goals.

On 60 minutes there was a piece on childhood trauma and the role that plays in our lives. In this episode Paul and Dr. Brad go over some of the science about how dieting can add layers onto Trauma and personal anecdotes on how to get on the right path.

Where do I even start with this one, this is a new series we are doing where the Eat To Perform staff tackles big ticket items. This week's topic is micronutrients or vitamins. How to get enough of them and which ones are important.

In the first part of the podcast I talk about about sleep and using weighted blankets and talk about my experiences with my daughter related to anxiety and sleep issues. In the last half is the MEAT, I walk you through all 5 phases of the Eat To Perform Method and I would argue that there is no company that will ever be as transparent about their IP as I was in this podcast. I hope you guys enjoy it.

This podcast came about as a result of a thread in the ETP Private community. I thought it would be nice to just run through these ideas off of the top of the dome (admittedly I probably rambled quite a bit, moreso than normal).

It's important to know what causes obesity so that you can then know how to avoid it and also realize that dieting is often an accelerant to the problem rather than the answer.

We covered a lot of ground on this one, the first two topics have a similar idea, dieting too extremely lands you in a worst spot and not a better spot and then I walk through a personal client of mine that is struggling and why I think it's one of my best coaching jobs ever.

This video has a flow chart that accompanies it that walks you through all of the current ETP phases and what to expect from them.
