    - Some things to consider when you want to evaluate something for yourself. 

    In the end, you know yourself, your body is sending signals to you. How can you use that to optimize your health?

  • 062 How she went from being scared of the scale to using it to lose 7.1% body fat: the power of body recomposition - Live coaching

    Today I have a treat for you. 

    This is a clip from a live coaching session with one of my clients. In it, we talk about using body fat composition and muscle mass, instead of body weight.

    In this coaching call, you will get to hear:

    - A reframe that helped her to stop avoiding the scale and instead using it daily to motivate her to stay on track with healthy habits to lose belly fat 


    - How staying on track was for her a key to becoming the consistent person she really wanted to be: committed to her habits

    - What it takes to lock in a healthy habit and make it a lifestyle, instead of reverting back to old habits

     

    In 12 weeks of coaching together, this person's waist circumference went down by 1.5 inches, her body fat levels decrease by 7.1% and her visceral fat - stubborn belly fat - went down by 2 points.


    Now here is a major hack for you, if you have been doing weight loss and feeling scared of the scale:

    Stop looking at body weight. 

    Instead, get a body composition scale and start looking at body fat and muscle mass.

    In this episode you will hear how this is key to losing belly fat and finally see some lasting results with weight loss.

     

    PS: I AM GIVING A BODY COMPOSITION SCALE AWAY

  • 061 It only takes 5 habits to see massive results with body recomposition - But it has to come with this

    The health and fitness industry is going through trends that are all the rage for a while, come and go, and only to leave most people more confused than ever.  

    The truth? Weight loss, body recomposition and enjoying health are not complicated.

    It really just comes down to mastering the basics.

    But it has to go with one very special skill that you may be missing now... A skill that is trainable.
    It’s like the ingredient that holds the sauce together.

    Low carb, intermittent fasting, cold plunges, vegan diet, keto, carnivore,...

    They produce results, but are they sustainable?

    Are they right for someone in their 40s, women in perimenopause or busy dads?
    Are these health trends even serving YOUR goals?

    YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES to have reduce visceral belly fat and have a lean body.

    Anybody does.
    Because all it really takes, is paying attention to what you're eating, honing your sleep, moving and lifting.
    And replace social media with social interactions. ❤️

    It’s not rocket science.

    But what most people are missing is the special skill.

    One anyone can master
    The secret ingredient that is the catalyst for transformation:
    Consistency.

    Today I give you the 5 simple habits you need to see the results you want: a strong and lean body.

    I am not talking about weight loss programs, cutting, skipping meals or restricting food groups.

    I am talking about creating a lifestyle that supports your health and longevity, and leads to a body with less body fat, less belly fat and more muscle.

  • 060 Could intermittent fasting in your 40s be causing belly fat? Truth bombs nobody is telling you

    Are you a working mom in her 40s and belly fat is bothering you? Or a you are a busy dad, and finding that fat in your gut area really stubborn?

    If you are also someone who has been practicing intermittent fasting for years, in particular by skipping breakfast, then you really need to be listening to this. 

    You've put on weight that you just can NOT lose

    You are doing intermittent fasting, maybe even OMAD - nothing’s worked.

    Maybe you're considering lipo.

    The very thing you are doing to lose weight, may be the problem.

    What worked at some point, does not work the same in your 40s.

    I am breaking down the research for you and sharing the evidence for the fact that the way you have been doing intermittent fasting could very well be causing belly fat.

    Truth bomb!

    In this episode, I am sharing about the science of why skipping breakfast is :

    - Causing a misalignment with your circadian rhythm
    - Driving insulin resistance
    - Directly linked to storing fat in your belly
    - Causing chronically elevated cortisol
    - Crashing your metabolism

    >>> AND HOW this is all contributing to higher visceral belly fat

    I also share some tips on how to fix this.

    So make sure to tune in and share this episode with someone you know who has been skipping breakfast for years.

  • 058 - 5 hacks to finally be consistent with exercise and show up even when you don't feel like it.

    So many clients come to me saying that they don't have the motivation to exercise.

    If this is you, I share in this episode 5 hacks that will help you to become dangerously consistent without needing motivation.

    1. Find your big "why"

    2. Pick a goal that excites you
    3. Make it ridiculously easy to show up
    4. Just do it
    5. Upgrade your identity

    These are 5 hacks I have used to turn from distracted and irregular at strength training, to focused and disciplined. 

    If I can do this, anyone can.

  • 057 Traveling or in a pinch? How I used AI to find healthy meals at fast-food restaurants

    Whether you are constantly traveling for work, or going to be on the road for vacation with your family this summer, being away from home can make it very challenging to stay consistent with healthy eating.

    Today I share with you how I used AI to analyze menus of fast-food restaurants to find healthy options and low carb meals by looking for high protein diet options for one of my clients who wants to lose belly visceral fat.

    For weight loss, there is nothing like a homemade, whole food meal.

    But I know how life gets in the way.
    Whether it is because of traveling, or you just had a day where you find yourself in a pinch, having a few go-to healthy meals can be a life saver.

    In this episode, you will not only  get the top picks for quick and easy meals from fast-food chains that won't completely derail your body composition goals, for when you are on the go or in a pinch, I actually give you the criteria that I used to find "healthy" options, so you can apply that to the fast-food chains that are in your area.

    So you can use AI to fit your preferences or food sensitivities.

  • 056 Don't hide from the sun. How Sunlight influences belly fat and body recomposition.

    What if I told that sun exposure is one of the most underutilized levers for body composition?

    It is affecting visceral fat, muscle strength and function, and metabolic health through 4 distinct biological system.

    Today we talk about how the sun stimulates the production of vitamin D, Nitric oxide and melatonin, and how sunlight sets our circadian rhythm. 

    You will learn how belly fat, fat and muscle respond to the sun, and you will learn how to harness the life-giving and energy-giving power of the sun.

    This is my encouragement to not hide from the sun this summer and not block your skin from making these amazing signaling molecules, especially if you want to lose weight and have more energy.

    Nerd alert: this is evidence-based advice. 

    Buckle up.
