A little life update followed by a discussion all about your relationship with food and how to establish a healthier one. Food will always be there, you will always need to eat, so learning how to create a healthier relationship with food is something that can improve your life tremendously. I get into my own relationship with food, what I did to help it, and some tips to help you with yours.

This is not meant to be medical advice, and if you have an eating disorder, or disordered eating, seek out the help of a qualified professional.

Is stress killing your progress? We live in this society that rewards the hustle, the constant grind, the always being "on" but where stress and stress related conditions are also at an all time high.

When you try to be great at everything, you end up being great at nothing. When it comes to your goals and your life you need to figure out what you want and prioritize accordingly. In this episode I go into why balance is BS and what you should do instead. 

Your training doesn't change regardless of your phase. Dieting- train hard. Growing- train hard. Learn more about the importance of training and muscle on this episode of Iron Impact. 

Trying to tone your muscles is like having one foot on the gas and the other on the brake. You can push as hard as you can, but you’re gonna get nowhere

You can’t tone a muscle, and anyone who tries to tell you that you can, has zero clue what they’re talking about.

Having that “toned” look is having more muscle and less body fat. You don’t get “toned” but lifting light weights for high reps, eating clean, and doing a ton of cardio.

You get “toned” by trying to get strong AF, lifting heavy, training hard, and pushing yourself further and further every day

If you’re afraid of getting too big and too bulky, you’re never going to get that physique you want. Sorry. Not sorry.

Maybe you have been told you have IBS, or maybe you just have GI symptoms like gas, bloating, abdominal pain, and thought you should try an elimination diet or low FODMAP diet. 

FODMAPS are fermentable carbohydrates that may be hard for some to digest causing GI symptoms. When these foods are avoided, some people’s symptoms go away.

I cover who may benefit from a low FODMAP diet, what a FODMAP diet is, and other things you can do to help relieve your GI symptoms

Digestion is the most important thing. It's not about what you eat, it's about what you eat, digest, absorb and assimilate.

In this episode I give a general intro to the anatomy and physiology of digestion and get into some of the causes of your digestive issues.

Symptoms such as gas, bloating, constipation and diarrhea are common, but not normal.

Hope you guys learn a lot from this episode and get some takeaways about how you can optimize your digestion right away.

The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know.  I think, especially now, it is easy to sit there and compare your day one to someone's day 500, but honestly we all have a day one, we all start somewhere, and we all restart a hundred times before we continue. I used to be clueless, I did so many "right"things for years that did nothing to help me reach my goals. I held myself back, I limited myself, and I was afraid of doing what I really needed to do. The more I learn now, the more I realize I have no clue what I am doing, but the more mistakes I continue to make, the better I become. I know so many of you can relate.
