Annie is my sister from another mister and misses.  She has been in my life longer than she wasn't and by default is just another Beck girl. We chat today about Annie's journey with her weight, her recent weight loss surgery and her experiences of life beyond. This is raw, unedited, no question left off the table talk. I ask the questions everyone has. I ask the questions I don't know the answer to and Annie gives her humble honest responses. Huge compassion for this goob.. 

Today I interview Tash Corbin, whom I met during her time in Riverton and she became a client. When Tash moved back to Australia, we stayed in touch and I eventually became a client of hers under her Take Off course. A lean business start up course that teaches you the ins and outs of setting up an online business. Tash has been a tremendous help to me but today we chat about what makes Tash tick, her dog Million dollar Munchkin and Davey her partner. Its juicy and enjoyable. So make a cuppa and settle in for the story.  

In today's episode we look into this phrase. What it means and how best to approach it for your nutrition and/or weight loss goals. People are mostly put off losing weight because they think its full of restricting favourite foods and that it's going to be hard and they're going to be miserable. But it certainly doesn't have to be that way. When working with me, you certainly will learn about having your cake and eating it too. 

The phrase "sort out your willpower" really shits me. It is not will power you lack.. we all have it.. in varying amounts. Today's episode explains what will power is, why we all seem to have different amounts or strengths of it and how you can improve it. Because you most certainly do not lack it or don't have it. Like anything, it can be improved, depleted and ignored. 

This last thing you will hear from me when starting your nutrition journey, is that you need to cut things out of your diet. This is not how I roll at all. In fact, you will hear me say that you need to add, add, add things into your daily diet to improve your chances of reaching your goals. Restriction doesn't lead you anywhere but to misery and contempt. Let's hear why.

When people ask me what is the most important aspect of nutrition, I will always say sleep. Shitty sleep leads to shitty decisions, but beyond that, there is science behind why and how a lack of sleep can influence hunger. In this episode I dive into it a little, stay well within my lane and help you to hear how much you may be able to improve your daily, by improving your sleep and how exactly to do that. 

In this episode we look into what it is that you may need to do, to reach your goals. I often say that the science behind nutrition, exercise and weight loss is simple, because it is, but putting it into action is where it turns hard. It is so easy to get lost amongst it all and give up. But it doesn't have to be that way. Not at all.

I hate to break it to you, but anyone telling you that you can reduce body fat in certain areas by x,y and z... is either lying to you or trying to sell you something. In todays episode we look into why that is, and how to combat it. As I always say, we follow a KISS approach here at The Rig, keep it simple stupid, so I won't be overwhelming you with science, just the truth.. and why its a marketers dream.

We dive right in to what behaviour is around dieting and dietary. How we acknowledge what behaviours lead you where and how addressing behaviour management can help you reach your goals. Learning key elements as to why we behave was we do, what we can implement mindfully to help in our journey towards sustainable behaviour and habits.

In today's modern world there is a nuance around weight loss. The health at any size movement has so many believing that they shouldn't want to lose weight. There is no reason why you can or shouldn't aim for weight loss. In this episode I talk about why it is ok to want to lose weight, to have aesthetic goals without losing sight of being well and accepting of ourselves.
