Episode 79: Reverse Dieting with Laurin Conlin  

Today we had Laurin Conlin, head coach and owner of Team Loco Fit back on our show to discuss the various frameworks, strategies, and applications of reverse dieting.  

Reverse dieting is often thought of as it relates to how to eat post-show, but the concept of reverse dieting is much more robust and has applications in many areas of coaching like hormonal fixes and gut health protocols.  

We discuss where and how to apply a reverse diet, how long to reverse for, and what signs to look out for to know a reverse diet is going well.

Episode 77: How Coaches Can Fail Their Clients  

Today the guys from the Every Calorie Counts podcast took the reins on our podcast and we had a round table discussion about the ways coaches can fail their clients or themselves.  

Coaching is a tough business. 

For every coach who creates an Instagram account there are 10 who quit due to burnout or lack of income. There are an infinite number of ways you can fail quickly or fail over time.  We hope that this episode brings awareness to the ins and outs of this industry for coaches and if you are a client, understand that we are human too, just trying to do our best to make a positive impact.
