Just about all of us will eventually engage in some type of self-sabotaging behavior.

Most of the time though, you don’t know when you’re doing it.

Self-sabotage is often confused with failure, being stuck, or even laziness.

It’s actually pretty subtle sometimes, but knowing what it looks like is the important first step in eliminating it from your life.

So in this episode of the podcast, I’m going to answer the question, “How do I know if I’m self-sabotaging?” so you can start making progress toward your goals again.

This past weekend I had the privilege to be a part of the 49th annual Marine Corps Marathon.

Just to be clear, I did not run the race, instead, I was able to be a part of this amazing event from a very different perspective, one that most people don’t ever get to experience.

It was a very emotional experience for me.

I came away from the race feeling all the feelings and it really renewed my love of the sport of running.

There were several other big takeaways too so I decided to organize my thoughts a little and share all of this with you here on the podcast.

In this episode of the podcast, I share some of the big lessons learned at Marine Corps Marathon and how this event has changed my life for the better.

When you think of discipline, what comes to mind?

For some, it conjures up images of obeying rules and doling out punishment for anyone who disobeys.

But when I think of discipline I think of training myself to do something day in and day out, usually something I don’t feel like doing.

I never think of discipline as punishment, but rather a method of achieving whatever worthwhile goal that I want for myself.

If there’s something big that you want for yourself, I’m telling you, there’s no magic formula, it just takes practicing the art of discipline to get it.

So in this episode of the podcast, I’ll be exploring what it means to be practicing the art of discipline so that you can achieve everything you want in your life.

If you’re a runner and you’ve ever dealt with a running-related injury, then this episode is especially for you.

I recently sat down with Brodie Sharpe, a physiotherapist from Melbourne, Australia and host of the popular Run Smarter Podcast.

In this informative conversation, Brodie shares his thoughts on a wide variety of topics related to running injuries and injury prevention.

We discuss whether or not you should be stretching, the benefits of dry needling and shockwave therapies, when to use heat vs. cold, what causes cramping, and so much more.

If you are a runner, this episode – How to Run Smarter with Brodie Sharpe – is going to be extremely helpful.

Losing weight is never a linear process, there will always be ups, downs, and even stalls in your weight loss journey.

All of this is perfectly normal.

But if you’re really struggling to get the weight moving in the right direction again, you might want to consider whether or not you are eating too much.

So in this episode of the podcast, I answer the question, “How do I know if I’m overeating?” and offer some practical tips to help you stop overeating.

Lots of factors go into whether or not you will successfully achieve a goal.

How bad you want it, where you are in your life, your physical limitations just to name a few.

But one of the most powerful indicators of success is a shift in your mindset.

Most people do not consider their mindset when they set out to accomplish a goal like losing weight.

They just start with, “what should I eat and not eat?”

So in this episode, I want to talk about the mindset shift required in order to succeed and accomplish everything you want in your life.

I talk a lot about carbs here on the podcast, mainly why it’s advised to keep your carbs low if you’re a runner who wants to lose weight and use body fat as fuel for running.

I realized I haven’t spent much time talking about the other macronutrients – fat and protein.

Fat and protein are essential nutrients that often get overlooked when it comes to low-carb diets and fat-adapted running.

I’m hoping to remedy that here today.

So this episode is all about the macronutrient that matters most for runners and how it benefits your overall health and fitness.
