IT’S MY BIRTHDAY!!! And I’m the ripe ol’ age of 28 ;) And trust me… there’s a lot of ways I thought my life would look by the age of 28 and well… it doesn’t really look like ANY of them. 

And I think we can probably all relate to that. We spend so much of our teenage years and young adult life thinking about when we will get married, have kids, buy a house, the job we’ll have, etc and… no matter how much you plan, it typically will never go that way. 

And man have I learned that. In many ways, for the very very best. 

So today we’re reflecting on all the ways my life looks nothing like I thought it would by the age of 28. 

And if things go this well when it’s not what I plan, cheers to another year of me getting it wrong :)

Can you believe it’s already August? WTF! This year has flown by, but it’s been a good one so far if I do say so myself. We’re halfway through Q3 too, and I figured what better time than to do a fun little episode on my Q3 favs - maybe you want to pick a few of them up for the rest of the year!

The gut health craze has taken the health and fitness world, and it seems the entirety of social media, by storm. 

People are beginning to care about fiber, digestion, probiotics… These all seem like good things. But it can beg the question… Why now?? Why is taking care of our gut health all of a sudden popular? 

Did we all just suddenly start having bad guts at once? Or is it an easy way for products and companies to market and make sales…

Maybe a little bit of both! Today’s episode we’re joined by registered dietician, gut health specialist, and head coach of Excelerate Athletics, Megan Shelley! She breaks down her thoughts on if the gut health era is worth the hype, and what parts of it are legit vs. what part of it are well… bullsh*t! 

Probiotics:

The dating culture these days is not for the faint of heart let me tell ya… except I probably don’t have to, because you’re probably right there with me.

But I do believe staying positive, continuing to show up, learn from your experiences, and just living your best life is the best thing to do - keep doing life and don’t lose hope. 

In today’s podcast episode… I’m really just getting honest AF and letting you in on my life in an area and way that I haven’t before. I might regret this but… I think we all just need some solidarity in this space right now. 

And honestly, I do feel the most optimistic I ever have. I believe everyone enters your life for a reason, and I detail each reason/lesson I think I found in each of my relationships. Hopefully, it’ll help you reflect and do the same!

I hope you enjoy, and remember…let it be late, but let it be right!

Today we're diving deep into a real life client case study and how in our two years together, she went from overtraining, undereating, and having a horrible relationship with food to absolutely THRIVING, looking amazing, and enjoying her favorite foods guilt-free.

This is such a relateable scenario for many. Hannah went from thinking she had to eat 1300 calories a day (and then of course, would spiral and binge on the weekends), to now maintaining an even better body composition at over 2000 calories per day. 

I'd highly recommend watching this podcast episode on YouTube, as I share my screen with the explicit details of Hannah's protocol, and you can also see her progress photos and the actual body composition changes throughout the journey.

You can find the YouTube video here: https://youtu.be/TsAf2z-gQWw

Please remember everyone is different - these exact macros and protocols likely won't work the same for you!

At first glance this episode might not seem super health and fitness related but... think again! 

First of all, this is the EXCELerate Your LIFE podcast - and truly, this was one of the best experiences of my entire life.

Second, health goes well beyond just working out and eating right. Health includes being mentally healthy, having fun, living to your full potential, and squeezing all of the lemonade out of the lemons of life.

And that's exactly what this weekend was for me. I have never had a more beautiful experience that left me with the fullest cup - and it was so extraordinary that I felt we needed a podcast episode recap about it.

So whether you're just curious about the experience, or getting ready to go yourself in a following year, buckle in and enjoy my magical experience of Electric Forest 2024!

“SUCCESS LEAVES CLUES”

And that’s facts.

Successful people - they have routines. Strategic routines. There’s a purpose to them. They’re not random.

The same should go for your training. You want success? Results? A certain output? There needs to be strategy to what you’re doing - random actions produce random results.

Today’s podcast episode is all about WHY strategic exercise matters - and why the “something is better than nothing” mentality might actually do more harm than good.
