  • 016 The only one strategy you need to lose weight, get rid of belly fat and keep it off forever

    95% of people who successfully follow a diet put the weight back on.

    The reason for that?

    A diet provides a temporary solution. But if you put the weight back and some, it’s a failing solution.

    And this is how too many of us are lifetime dieters: trying every diet under the sun, as if it was a matter of finding the right one.

    Spoiler: it is not.

    You don’t need another diet,

    You don’t need to beat yourself up until you reach perfect adherence to the perfect diet, 

    You don’t need to count and measure and restrict for the rest of your life,

    And you are not the problem.

    Today I want to help you escape this approach that is failing you and give you some keys to create the one thing you need to lose weight for good, especially belly fat, AND KEEP IT OFF.

    This ONE THING you need is a LIFESTYLE that is geared towards health and fitness.

    What does that mean and what does it look like to have a lifestyle for a lean body, a lower body fat and stronger muscle?

    What is a longevity lifestyle?

    In this episode I give you the framework to create a lifestyle so you can lose weight for good, get rid of body fat and keep it off.

  • 014 Can Christians focus on longevity? 7 rules I follow for a longevity lifestyle in line with biblical principles

    Believing in God and engaging with faith prolongs life. 

    The research now shows that it adds an extra 4 year in lifespan, cut by 30% the risk of death, and brings a host of health benefits from psychological to physical.

    And yet the leading experts in the field of longevity never mention God.

    As a follower of Christ, I also see some very questionable practices done in the attempt to outlive others, and even trying to live forever. 

    In today's episode, I share the 7 rules I follow to make sure my longevity lifestyle is not a self-serving, ego-driven attempt to escape God's will and God's perfect design, and how I make this pursuit of losing fat and building muscle something that gives him glory.

    This is a bonus episode, because less tactical than usual.

  • 013 Eight foods to ADD - yes add ! - to your diet to specifically burn belly fat

    Why is belly fat so hard to lose?

    Because visceral fat is a different beast.

    But that means we can use the specific biological properties of this fat to work for us.

    Burning belly fat is not all about a restrictive diet and it takes more than simply counting calories.

    Burning belly fat has a lot more to do with the QUALITIES of calories.

    What you eat matters more than how much you eat. 

    So today, I am giving you a list of 8 superfoods that will boost your fat loss and some that have been scientifically proven to target visceral belly fat.

  • 011 Fundamental mindset shifts to break the cycle of starting over and stay consistent with weight loss

    Have you ever wondered why some people bounce so quickly after setbacks, but you just can’t seem to stick to the plan?

     Do you believe that things are happening TO you or happening FOR you?

    Do you see setbacks as part of the process, things that you can learn from? Or insurmountable obstacles

    If you feel stuck in a never-ending loop of starting on Mondays, going strong for 2 weeks only to end up where you started, this episode is for you.

    We’re going to look at beliefs that are holding you back and my goal for this episode is to provide a powerful reframe that will help you to never see things the same.


    Here's what you will hear:

    Mindset shift #1 : Your age is not a doom sentence

    Mindset shift #2: It's not failure, it's a data point
    Mindset shift #3: Your weight is an indicator, not a dictator
    Mindset shift #4: The bleep on the radar

    If you are a lifetime dieter, and have tried all the diets under the sun, these mindset shifts will get you out of the rut.

    You’re in a strange head space because of what dieting is doing to your emotions.

    Dieting trains you to follow rules.

    Dieting trains you to expect perfect adherence.

    Dieting trains you to focus on the outcome instead of the process.

    Everything will change when you work with a coach like me, someone who partners with you, problem-solves with you when you struggle and helps you repeat what works when you succeed.

  • 008 Your body, your edge. Five ways your body composition help you win big in life, from the boardroom to the bedroom

    Body composition - the balance of muscle mass and body fat - is a strong predictor of how long and how well you live.

    In today's episode you will discover:


    - 5 ways burning fat and building muscle helps you win in life

    - How your age has nothing to do with you losing your sharp, that constant nagging pain, disappointing erections or low libido and how your body composition can give these back to you

    - Signs that it's time to focus on you muscle-to-fat ratio

    - The two simple habits to burn fat and build muscle and feel amazing in your 40s

    - How improving your body composition is a libido booster for women

  • 007 Exhausted and out of breath over 40? How VO2 max is the key metric to boost energy, supercharge work & family and live longer.

    If you’re over 40, huffing and puffing while going up the stairs, you’re out of breath walking up the hills or you don’t have as much in the tank as you used to, this episode has the key number you need to track.

    You've noticed that you no longer have the energy for your family after a work day, and you miss being able to do fun things together.

    Before you write this off to the fact that you’re getting older, and give up on living to the full, let me tell you about the number you can track that will change the game.


    Because this isn’t just a marker more powerful than knowing your cholesterol level, it is also easy to improve so you can recover your stamina.

    This number is VO2 max: the metric of life.

    VO2 max is a measure of our overall fitness. It tells us how well our engine is running so it can carry us for longer. VO2 max is directly correlated with longevity.

    A high VO2 max also means you can burn more calories, and enhances fat oxidation, directly targeting visceral belly fat.

    Tracking and improving your VO2 max boosts metabolism and helps burn stubborn fat.
    Improving  VO2 max adds days to your life and energy to your days.
    Which means you get more out of life.

    Since improving my VO2 max from top 25 to top 6% for women my age, I have more energy than the moms who are 10 years younger than me!

    In this episode, you will hear

    • 5 reasons why VO2 max is the metric of life
    • Signs that your VO2 max may be declining and that it’s time to measure it
    • How to measure it
    • How you can improve your VO2 max in just 15 minutes per week to live longer and get more out of life.
    • Investing in our fitness makes the difference between becoming a burden and growing in impact as we age. Which one will you choose?

       

      ****

      Notes to perform the Cooper test to measure VO2 max:

      Measure the distance ran in 12 minutes, then use the formula:

      In Kilometers: VO2max = (22.351 x kilometers) - 11.288

      In Miles: VO2max = (35.97 x miles) - 11.29

      After you complete the test, you can compare your results to the norms and recommendations for your age and gender.
