When Dr. Lisa Lewis and her husband, Tony Gentilcore, joined me last year for their debut on the show (episode #157) I knew they would be returning again. Having just returned from the 2019 Fitness Summit, Lisa was one of the presenters there. She gave a fantastic presentation on what we know regarding motivation and how to coach our clients to success. There was one slide in particular which I felt deserved an episode all on it's own. So, I welcome back Dr. Lisa this week to talk about the stages of motivation. We use actual client scenarios to describe where motivation can be in our lives and how it's serving to get us closer to our goals.

As many of my fellow trainers know, sometimes we have to refer out to other health and wellness practitioners to get more in-depth care when issues arise beyond our scope of practice. Locally, I've been fortunate to have chiropractors, massage therapists, physical therapists, etc. to refer out to when needed. I am joined today by Colorado based chiropractor, Dr. Ann Barter to talk about this type of collaborative care. She recognized in her own field where different approaches could be complementary and effective. Using professionals like I mentioned above as well as medical doctors to work in unison to help patients thrive, Dr. Barter has been extremely successful in understanding how several parties can work together for the same end goal of the patient.

I am joined this week by nutrition coach, Briana Theroux and nutrition researcher, Alex Leaf, on the topics of body acceptance, fat shaming and health at every size. Several months ago, Alex made a post on social media with regard to body acceptance and it got a lot of feedback both positive and negative. We dive into the nuance of these topics in today's episode. There are so many different avenues we could have taken these ideas and I think you'll find the perspectives here worth diving further into.

I very nearly let too much time elapse since Dan John had debuted on the show back at Episode 100. He has just released yet another in a long line of excellent books, this one called "40 Years With A Whistle." I had some points in the book that I wanted to talk to him about and we even got to touch on some more personal subjects that the book didn't go into as great of detail on. It is always an honor to share time with Dan and I can assure you he will be on again in the future. To order your copy of his new one, please go to www.otpbooks.com/product/40_years_with_a_whistle To sign up for his weekly newsletter, please go to www.danjohn.net and click on the tab for Wandering Weights.
