Welcome back to The Betty Rocker Show! In today's episode, I'm talking about the the actions we can take to create an optimal state in our bodies for fat loss and muscular strength to occur.

Sometimes, people give up too soon on an exercise program thinking "it's not working" because they haven't really given themselves time to build the other important habits around their workouts that contribute to their body composition goals.

Exercise is important, there's no question. But we have to put it into perspective with our other health practices that impact our hormones and metabolic processes. After listening to this episode, you'll have some great practical tips to apply the 4 pillars approach to your training right away!
