In Episode 2.01 of The Macro Perspective, Seamus and Marcos dive into health documentaries, different diets and how they affect your body, getting access to healthy foods, the environmental impact of what we eat, and the psychological side of food choices. They also chat about sustainability, understanding your cravings, and the idea of doing less. The talk stresses the need for personalized nutrition, making sustainable choices that match your values and goals, and delves into various dietary approaches and the impact of documentaries. The key takeaway is about questioning norms, tailoring your diet to you, and dealing with conflicting info by thinking for yourself. Marcos and Seamus also talk about the challenge of maintaining a sustainable diet and mindset, finding that sweet balance, and finishing up with a reminder for everyone to own their health for a long and happy life!

Takeaways

• Health documentaries can have a significant influence on public perception and behavior.

• There is no one-size-fits-all approach to nutrition, and individualized approaches are necessary.

• Access to healthy foods and the preparation of those foods play a crucial role in making sustainable dietary choices.

• The environmental impact of food production should be considered when making dietary decisions.

• Understanding cravings and rewiring habits can help individuals make healthier choices.

• The concept of doing less and subtracting certain elements from one's diet or lifestyle can lead to better outcomes. Challenge your thinking and personalize your diet to meet your specific needs.

• Navigate conflicting information by critically evaluating sources and considering your own health indicators.

• Focus on sustainable dieting and mindset, finding approaches that are both effective and maintainable.

• Strive for balance and maintenance in your diet, allowing for occasional indulgences while staying mindful of your goals.

• Take ownership of your health and make informed decisions based on your own experiences and research.

Recently, our hosts Marcos and Seamus had the immense privilege of sitting down with  Matt Vincent (athlete, podcaster, entrepreneur, author, adventurer, and motivator).

Matt knows that failure is the best teacher, and he isn’t afraid to fail…as long as it brings growth. Matt doesn’t just want growth for himself…he is a natural coach who brings out the best in anyone he has contact with. Tune in and hear Matt speak about the importance of being honest with yourself, being present with your loved ones, and creating an impact.

More about Matt, (as seen on his website, www.notdeadyet.com) 

Matt Vincent is a traveling strength athlete, two-time Highland Games World Champion, and founder of HVIII Brand Goods. Through his travels, Matt was lucky enough to spend time with exceptional people who were chasing strength, fulfillment, and personal growth in every imaginable way. In Matt's first book, Training Lab, he spelled out the philosophy of “The HVIII,” and tried to capture the spirit of self-improvement through self-loathing. This idea would serve as the spark that led to HVIII Brand Goods and a ton of adventures afterwards. Matt chronicles his travels and conversations with people in the strength game and beyond on his podcast UMSO.

Check in with Marcos and Seamus as they chat about staying on track during the holidays. It’s not always easy, but going in with a game plan will keep you from losing all of the gains you have made (while still enjoying the holiday season!)

This episode is from the coaching calls in our Athlete 2.0 Facebook Group, a community of like-minded people who are finding their place in the post-collegiate/post-pro sporting world to the new life of work, family and other responsibilities.

More about Jonathan in his own words:

As a sophomore in high school, I decided I wanted to play college football, and I decided I would do whatever it took to make that happen.

I went all in on learning everything I could training and nutrition in order to separate myself from other athletes. ​ As I began to get results and ultimately acquire a scholarship to play college football I dove deeper and deeper into the health and fitness space. ​

During the process of learning I fell in love with the work that was required to get results and the change that health and fitness were having on my life/mindset.

Fast forward a few years and I decided I wanted to share the life-changing knowledge I had attained in hopes that I could change the lives of countless people.​ ​

And now, here we are. ​
