Summary

In this episode, Chase and Chris dive into common struggles with motivation, food choices, and food noise. They discuss why waiting to "feel ready" can hold you back from making progress and how small actions, even when you're unmotivated, can create long-term success.

The conversation shifts to food decisions—how to choose between whole grain and protein pasta, what to look for in bread and tortillas, and why it’s important to focus on what works for you rather than trendy labels. They also tackle the growing discussion around "food noise," explaining what it is, why it happens, and practical ways to reduce it—without relying solely on therapy.

If you've ever struggled with cravings, emotional eating, or feeling overwhelmed by food choices, this episode is packed with insights to help you take control and stay consistent.
