Yes - you read that title right.....this is the final episode of the Coach Taylor Podcast. 

After 148 amazing episodes I have made the decision to end this podcast. 

Obviously I go into ALL the details in the episode.  AND..........

I end with something VERY important - Coach Taylor's Top 6 Tips for a Great Life. 

These 6 tips are the culmination of my entire career and all of my learning and work to date. If you listen to them and incorporate them into your life - I promise - you WILL have a great life, one that when you look back on it from the end, you will be proud to have had this opportunity to be alive! 

Much Love Coach Taylor 

Welcome to episode 147 of the Coach Taylor Podcast! 

This episode is all about calories.

Everyone tells me they want to be free of diet culture and calorie counting. OK! It IS possible! I am going to show you exactly how you can get that freedom and NEVER count calories or weight and measure your food EVER again. 

The truth is that counting calories is useless. And it is COMPLETELY the wrong thing to focus on if you truly want to change your diet and your ENTIRE association with food. 

To understand how that is possible we must first understand what calories are and how they affect us. 

**LINK** as promised....to my summer nutrition challenge!

Coach Taylor's Summer Nutrition Challenge

I know - this one is probably going to earn me some harsh feedback. (Also - if you're going to tell me how wrong I am - make sure to listen to this episode first, deal?)

But it is the truth. When we look at the health and fitness of MOST people the gym and gym culture has a far more negative impact than positive impact. 

If you want to understand why you have probably had a hard time sticking to a regular exercise routine....THIS is the episode for you!!!!! 

If we continue to define fitness through the lens of gyms we are going to stay on the same path we have been on the last few decades - increased obesity, decreased strength, and poorer movement of most of us.

This started as a chat about why when intermittent fasting people tend to get hungry and ended up in a deep rant into why 'hunger' is a totally messed up concept and why your 'blood sugar' is about the stupidest thing you could ever worry about. 

And as always a few other odds and ends and golden nuggets!!!

I published a blog last week: You're Doing Fat Loss Wrong. 

And I mean it! I get that you have goals and want to change what your body looks like, fit different clothes, like what you see in the mirror etc., and I am ok with that. 

With summer coming you are probably planning on starting a 'diet' or 'going on a program'. SO......I want to make sure that you aren't making some basic mistakes that are going to get in the way of your goals. 

In fact - these four things are most likely going to make you fail.

Coach Taylor's BODY DESIGN

Welcome to episode 143!! 

A brief hiatus, which I talk about in the episode, but I am back! Weekly posting here we go! 

This week I am talking about fat loss. We all think about it, that is why there is a multi-billion dollar 'diet' industry! 

It all seems so confusing but really that is just a belief that is built into us over time. The truth is that there are only two things you need to do if your goal is fat loss. And they are simple. 

-Coach Taylor

Sometimes I don't need 45 minutes to get my thoughts out there. The truth is that the fitness industry itself has forgotten basic physiology and has become so fixated on minute details that it has driven people away. 

Honestly I believe that the industry itself does more harm than good but that is a topic for another day. 

Today I chat about what fitness you rally need, how your muscles respond to it all, and how much fitness you really need in your life! 

-Coach Taylor 

I was worried I didn't have enough content for todays episode and then ended up on a bit of a sermon with a 15 minute introduction. So you can guess how the rest of the episode went!!!! 

What is the perfect diet? What are you striving for? What is THE key to your long term health? 

The modern world makes it so hard to just...LIKE ourselves...and this is what is truly holding you back from achieving your health goals. 

-Coach Taylor 

This episode is some cold, hard truth. I don't make apologies for it. 

The truth is that you will most likely never get a 6-pack. There are many reasons for this and the conversation leads us to some really, really, important discussions. So while it seems uber negative this episode is actually designed to be truly motivating. 

Or you'll just disagree with everything and keep hopping from fad to fad to fad. 

Your choice. 

-Coach Taylor

This is a deep dive into theory. You may think, oh that sounds dry. Maybe. But understanding the WHY of things allows us to truly embrace the things in life that we want. 

On episode 138 I busted apart some of the biggest beliefs in the health and fitness industry. This episode I am going to give you the reasoning and the evidence for everything I said. 

HIGHLY recommend you listen to episode 138 before listening to this episode. 

THEN, do your best to go into 139 with an open mind. Give me a chance to back it all up.
