The whole reason we got into this business was to change lives. Not improve someone's deadlift numbers, not improve the 2-mile run time- those are secondary benefits to the greater mission. We cover some scary stuff today - things most folks don't want to talk about but NEED to hear. 🔥

If your doctor has called you average you should be FREAKED OUT. Average today is fat, with high blood pressure, low insulin sensitivity, hormone imbalances, and according to a recent study, rapidly decreasing libido.

Committing to your health is the only way to NOT be average.

To be different you must behave differently. 

To have a fit life with longevity there must be a sacrifice.

We dig into all this and more with episode 14 - you're going to love this one.

Low libido could be the least of your problems in the big picture of your overall health. Overexposure to toxins can lead to endocrine disruption, weight gain, brain fog, digestive issues, inflammation, low libido, fertility issues, developmental issues in your kids, illness, and even worse. You can minimize your exposure though and you might even be able to undo some of the damage.  

But only if you know what you're looking for and how to mitigate it once it's there.

Management and leadership challenges exist everywhere - even more so in the small business space.

While a bad boss can wreck corporate culture being a bad employee can wreck the company's bottom line. There are some small tweaks that can be made to improve your work relationships. It starts by developing clear and concise expectations, leading by example, executing your duties to the best of your ability, serving everyone else's interests before your own, and being a team player.

The last key components to having awesome work relationships are initiative and integrity. Unfortunately, initiative is a rare commodity and integrity cannot be taught. Be sure your employee/boss has both before committing to working with them 👊🏼

We get into the reasoning behind why so many folks lose their results after working so hard to get them. What may be surprising is that it has nothing to do with your gym or your trainer. If you've lost the weight there is a responsibility shift that many miss out on.

The reason you're fat ... and it might not entirely be your fault. While there are some conditions we can (and should) control there are some things that are working against us. Food addictions (not eating disorders) is a real thing that most overlook. What science has done to make food abundantly available is great BUT... they are largely to blame for metabolic disorders, endocrine system disruption, sleep disorders, weight issues, and the list goes on. We cover some tactics and approaches to getting to the bottom of it all on this show. 👊🏼

“Lifestyle” has become a heavily overused term in the health and fitness space. Because there is so much psychology, persuasion, and influence required to truly inspire change in others it’s no wonder progress appears to have stalled.

While some people may see an “uptick” in behavior modification, maintaining a resolute position is only maintained as long as adhering to those behaviors is convenient.

In this episode, we’re going to review some of the most common lifestyle-sabotaging behaviors and give some strategies on how to implement long-term change for you and your family.

As always, the human head interferes with seemingly simple guidance. One of the bedrock commonalities among those that are able to maintain a healthy posture in life and those that don’t is honesty and discipline.
