PermaFit Live Podcast

Do you actually believe you'll get what you want?

I'll tell you right now that if there's ANY hesitation in your mind that you'll accomplish your health and fitness goals, you will struggle and make things much harder than they need to be, and cause yourself way more pain and suffering along the way.

There's an exercise that I provide in this episode that can help you figure out exactly what you want, why you think you want it, and how to change your beliefs around it so that you can BECOME committed to it.

We also talk about investing in your health, and the fact that no matter what, you will pay to address your health (though it may not be in the form of money).

Give this one a listen and make sure to let me know if it resonated with you.

The 4 Phases of a Fitness Transformation EXPLAINED.

Going through a weight loss, health, or fitness transformation is challenging. No one has actually gone through it will tell you it's easy. There's also MANY emotions and feelings that come up through the process that make it very difficult to recall the tale.

But...having gone through this process myself (down 85 lbs 11 years ago, kept it off while adding lean muscle every since), and coaching people through this process, I have seen many recurring patterns. In this session, I will be talking about those and painting that picture for you.

Give this one a listen and make sure to let me know if it resonated with you.

I like to keep things simple as often as possible.

When it comes to weight loss and fitness, it's really easy to over-complicate things very quickly. What I've found is the less people know what to do, the more they over-complicate it. This is normal because it's a byproduct of not knowing exactly what to do.

An expert is an expert for a reason: they simply know what to do, when to change gears, how exactly to change them, etc.

I've been able to simplify my process over the last 10 years to a simple 2-step formula of:

1) Energy Expenditure Restructuring

2) Body Recomposition

There's a lot of details underneath each of these, but this is the high level overview. In this episode I dive into each of these things, what they mean, and how we go about achieving them in the Mind Body Academy.

I've found over the years that most people will easily spend money on their health & fitness; however, they won't actually invest in it.

They'll quickly spend money on products or cheap services that are low cost, with no real tangible value associated with it...but they won't invest in the areas that actually help them move forward and lose the weight, get into amazing shape and transform their lives.

This behavior has often confused but I know now why people do it, and I break it down in this episode. If you're struggling to lose weight and transform your health, this episode is 100% for you.

Give this one a listen and make sure to let me know if it resonated with you.

Maybe you thought traditional cardio was the best method, or HIIT cardio, or CrossFIT, or Weightlifting, or Bootcamps.

In this episode, I dive deep into several methods of exercise and working out that provide a myriad of results. Chances are, this content will go against the conventional wisdom that you've spent your whole life being told and/or believing.

Ever wonder how it is that people build muscle?

This can be functional muscle for athletic purposes, your job, moving things around the house, etc. OR this can be "show muscle" like aesthetics for bodybuilding.

Either way, there are some major misconceptions around what it takes to build muscle, and chances are that YOU believe some of these myths that I'm going to bust right here on this episode.

I've seen many people (who previously believed these myths), be able to turn their mindset around, approach things DIFFERENTLY, and create massive strides in their fitness, weight loss, and yes...muscle & strength development.

Why did I quit 1-on-1 in-person personal training?

So many reasons!

The truth is, 1-on-1 personal training is not what people think it is. This model exists to get people familiar with exercising the right way, and MAYBE providing a little extra motivation and positive energy. However, that is not enough to really get people results.

There are far too many people that flounder with a personal trainer, paying the gym thousands of dollars, only to receive mediocre results AT BEST.

What people really need is: training programming, nutrition programming, accountability, mindset work...and they need ALL of that coming from the same, unified team or person. When it's pieced together like a frankenstein model, the results resemble that.

Do you struggle with portion control?

Do you find yourself eating more per meal than you probably should?

If you're like most busy professionals and high performers, you're short on time, and you can't dedicate every second of the day to thinking about portions of food. As a result, you may sit down to eat and end up OVEREATING, without even thinking about it.

The problem isn't really portion control...that's the good news!

It's actually a mis-understanding of energy balance, which really means calories in/calories out.

I dive deep into this topic on this podcast and explore the facets of portion control, energy balance, and calories.
