The EveryCalorieCounts Podcast

Welcome back every one!

In this week's episode, Tim and Alex go over 3 tips that can improve day-to-day gut health. 
these tips are not in any particular order just some important factors that can impact gut health:

1. Sleep 
2. Movement
3. Chewing your food

we spent a great deal of time going over the first one on the list which is sleep, it may seem like we harp on it a lot but it truly is one of the easiest things to take control of when it comes to improving our overall health but in the context of this episode more particularly your gut health.

Social Media can be a great tool, a great asset to those who use it to promote wellness and better being.
There are those who post valuable content and genuinely want to help.

Then there are those who only care about metrics and the $$ that comes after their posts influence thousands of individuals in younger generations, ultimately leaving them high and dry because they are not able to live up to the false expectations of these icons on social media.

There is a pandemic across all social media platforms where celebrities and influencers alike hide behind a facade of the perfect lives which they are far from. Through manipulations and alterations of their appearance to appear perfect online they cause harmful ripple effects throughout society.

It is important for us to understand what this means and how we can effectively use social media to genuinely improve the world and the times ahead of us.

This was a great episode as the entire ECC crew came onboard to discuss this topic and shed light on the false realities of some of the most well-known internet and social media personalities.

After a couple of weeks away we are back!

the duo of Tim and Alex get back to chatting about what they've been up to and Tim goes off on those of you who "want to get ready for the summer"

It's a great thing that we have seasons all these seasons here in the northeast but sometimes it pushes us to want things that might be a little further away than where reality currently is.

Tim brings up an important topic, the topic of expectations and not allowing the summer to make us take shortcuts, the process of building a great physique, in many cases is further away than j just a few weeks, it's further away than just a few months. In many cases, the process can take over a year so it is important that we become comfortable with being uncomfortable.

It's a great listen as we're a few weeks into spring and summer is around the corner.

This week we have our special guest Lindsay O'Reilly on to talk to us about the importance of the thyroid in general day-to-day life, and will also share with us her experience with her own hypo diagnosis.

Lauren has a background in dietetics from Missouri State University, Lindsay began her career working as a community dietitian for WIC in the Kansas City metro area and has since transitioned to helping clients 1:1 with issues like Thyroiditis, Hyperthyroidism, and Hashimoto’s.

It seems like the more we learn at the everycaloriecounts podcast, the more it always relates back to that word "stress" this episode is no exception stress will always find its way into the cause of something, in this week you'll learn how stress can amplify things in terms of thyroid health.

If you are interested in what the thyroid is its functions and how it affects the weight loss process then this is a great episode to listen to. It was a huge privilege to have Lauren on and share her insight as she's been doing this for over 18 years.

Welcome back to this week's episode of the ECC podcast. 

We had the pleasure of having Anthony Spada a young 24-year-old up-and-coming coach in the industry who also just happens to be an intelligence analyst just like our host Alex, what are the odds?!

Two episodes ago Tim and Alex were chatting about the right and wrong ways to break into the industry and how the current climate promotes a lot of misinformation. 

For this reason, we wanted to have Anthony on the episode as he will share with us his journey of becoming a respected coach he's doing things the right way and has his mindset correct and aligned with goals that he knows he will achieve in due time. 

Anthony has: 

• Committed to mentorship under the guidance of Austin Stout 
• Kept his integrity by not overcharging
• Committed to the long game, he is willing to continue to learn to expand on his practice 
• Humble

Anthony truly just wants to help, be involved in the community, and offer a great service.

This is a great episode for all of those who are looking to break into the industry! and even for those who don't, it's great to hear the story from a different perspective.

This week on the Every Calorie Counts podcast we had the pleasure of having Laura Goldstein on the show.

Laura joined us to speak on her experience with Hypothalamic Amenorrhea (HA)
which is essentially when a female loses their period based on downregulation of hormones or proper signaling. This is an issue that affects many women,  competitors, the general population, etc.

Listen to her story on this week's episode to learn more about HA

Welcome back everyone, today's episode is a good ol' rant.

Tim lets us on in a few things that are happening within the fitness industry that might not be 100% true.

Is the Online Fitness Training and coaching industry a giant bubble that's ready to burst any moment now?

What's your take, how do you prepare yourself to work with someone online if everyone and their dog says that they are an online coach?

In this current climate, we as consumers must do our due diligence and we as coaches must work in an ethical manner that is truly in the best interest of our client.
