What’s better than counting calories and grams of protein, carbs, and fat? The freedom to eat what makes you feel good, look good, and perform well!

In part of 2 of our 2-part discussion on Nutrition, Gregg covers eating for your workout and wellness goals, portion size, good sources of carbohydrates and the skinny on fasting (punny). Then he examines and dismantles some well-known Nutrition “facts”. Finally, he makes the case for being a great parent for our kids and for ourselves at mealtime, and the importance of finding a professional whose advice and knowledge works for you.

Perhaps the most talked about, prickliest, and exhaustively researched, topic in terms of health and wellness is Nutrition. So, what have we learned about how to eat right? Well…as you probably know the answer isn’t so easy. In fact, most of us don’t know what’s ‘right' anymore. Some might say, that everything we thought we knew was wrong. Others might argue that we’ve always known how to fuel our bodies properly if we just look to our primal ancestors. A recent article on Grubstreet.com says it very well:

“It’s beyond strange that so many humans are clueless about how they should feed themselves. Every wild species on the planet knows how to do it; presumably ours did, too, before our oversized brains found new ways to complicate things. Now, we’re the only species that can be baffled about the “right” way to eat…

...Eating well remains difficult not because it’s complicated but because the choices are hard even when they’re clear."

In this first part of a 2-part episode, Gregg covers nutrition basics, some of the obstacles to eating well, and where to start in terms of figuring out what works best for each of us.

There are few things better than waking up from a night of blissful uninterrupted sleep. Yet for many of us, getting enough sleep is more challenging than running a marathon. While we may be well acquainted with the effects of being sleep-deprived, you may be surprised to learn that there are consequences that go well beyond the short term effects of being foggy and irritable. In fact, even if you’re dialing in your nutrition and exercise, it could very well be sleeplessness that’s making you fat!

In this first part of a 2-part episode, Gregg explains sleep’s vital role in weight loss and overall health and its importance for staving off chronic medical conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and Alzheimer’s. Finally, think you know why you’re so sleep deprived? Gregg lays out several surprising factors that are probably keeping you up at night. Get ready to start and end your day on the right foot!

Next week in Part 2, Gregg brings us lots of great ways to get the rest we all need.
