We are inundated with one message constantly: Rise and grind, try harder. Never give up, never surrender. Well, that's dumb. I'm about to give you (and myself) permission to let go!

Oh, and this is the last call. You don't have to go home but you can't stay here!

Are you a workaholic. You're a few questions away from finding out! I also discuss gambling on your health, how I used to deal with work and how I'm doing it better, additions to the Calm app and why the functional fitness approach is better than what you're doing now!

When dealing with musculoskeletal issues and pain, motion may be  the lotion you need! Today we're talking about changing your perception of pain to decrease it, moving more, managing time better and what is that popping sound when you get a chiropractic adjustment? All on this ep of Excellent Not Perfect!

We're talking about making the transition from intense dieting to real life, being real while keeping the health and good times rolling! Are cheat days or cheat meals on the menu? And what's with that naked guy in the sauna? Find out by listening to this most excellent, not quite perfect podcast!

Media and social media is full of bad news. You probably need to take a break from the fray, but don't allow yourself to withdraw completely. That's not healthy, either. Today we're talking Trump fatigue, weight loss and lots of hacks to combat time poverty (the sense you don't have any time for the things you enjoy.) Yeah, everybody feels that, too.

Don't miss this one! Weight loss update, the Calm app and using cues to get control of your mind, time and body!

This week we're talking about misperceptions about fat people, their self-perception, some quick tips about overcoming ableism and food deserts. That's deserts, not desserts.

Author of Do the Thing, host Robert Chazz Chute invites you to join him on his weight loss journey to a healthier lifestyle. It's all about managing the mind, the body and the ketogenic diet.

Controversy! Angst! What to eat? What to do? When two experts, one Paleo and one vegan, go head to head, you hope for light not heat. It didn't work out that way. I'll tell you what went wrong and what good I took from the Fire Debate of Meat versus Plants. Bonus: books as a shelter from our stress.

On today's Excellent Not Perfect we talk about a quick self-awareness exercise for you to assess your pain, stress and energy. I'll also give you an update on my failure to manage expectations on my weight loss journey while achieving surprising results with circuit training!

Going deep about getting real about health outside our comfort zones. Let's talk new weight loss challenges, facing the scale, the psychological benefits of intermittent fasting and coming out the other side much better for it. You are going to love this episode.
