As with everything in life, when you look back, there are always little things that could have made a big difference had you known about them earlier. Today, we’re diving into some of the things Chrystal wishes she knew when she started her fitness journey, and hopefully if you are just starting out on your fitness journey, they can help you too. Firstly, progress isn’t linear, the goalposts are always changing. Secondly, nutrition is everything. There is a lot of conflicting information out there, so find something that works for you. Similarly, find a training program you enjoy and stick with it. If you have very specific goals, you might have to enjoy training a little less, but for most of us, exercise should be fun! Lastly, supplements are just that, supplemental to your diet, so don’t use them to replace food, and please, stop comparing yourself to others. Your effort, and your consistency, and your progress is your own and no one else’s, so do what works for you. Tune in to find out more!

Self-care doesn’t always mean manicures, massages, bubble baths, and spa days. Sometimes it means meal prepping, going to the doctor, and getting some proper sleep.

She runs a world-famous blog and is the Co-Founder and CEO of Paragon Training Methods. LCK has been a guest on the show before when we talked about all things nutrition and hormones. In today’s episode, LCK shares her experience with burn out, self-care, and what it is like to run businesses and pour into other people’s cups while trying to look after her mental, physical, and nutritional health at the same time.

In today’s episode, we are taking a walk on the spiritual side. This isn’t wishy-washy spirituality, it is about the real energy work and healing that many of us are craving. There are so many mindset coaches out there, who are focused on inspirational quotes and affirmations, but we all have deep internal wounds, beliefs, and stories that are ingrained within us, and just changing our mindset is not always going to help us. Today’s guest is Elena Visionary, a transformation coach and energy healer who is all about bridging the gap between personal development and spirituality, striving to awaken people to their fullest potential and their unique genius. She offers coaching, workshops, retreats, and online courses, to help us raise that vibrational frequency and live a purposeful, abundant, and beautiful life.

Chrystal discusses some past damaging behaviors and her current struggle with time.

As you know, in today’s world there are a number of different diets out there. Some trending for a few months, others hanging around for a few years, and we can be sure to find a plethora of different new diet gimmicks every year. Diets don’t fail because we aren’t disciplined enough, or mentally strong enough — diets fail because they are not right for us from the get-go. Today’s podcast is titled Eight Reasons Your Diet Failed. A failed diet isn’t just being unable to stick to it, a failed diet is seeing success through a diet and then not being able to sustain or maintain it and re-gaining all the weight back. The definition of diet should be — and not what society has made it — the kinds of foods a person, animal, or community habitually eat.
