The leading causes of death in the US are self conflicted diseases! Self conflicted as in "we do this to ourselves"! The biggest thing that will always keep me on my toes is right now you could be creating a tumor or cancer cells within your body all due from a bad lifestyle in nutrition, hydration, sleep, and fitness. One thing for sure is aside from cancer and other major health diseases, there are other major health scares such as: High cholesterol, high blood pressure, and diabetes. 

These three diseases are all self conflicted from lifestyle. To even make things worse, out of these three self conflicted diseases, high cholesterol doesn't have any symptoms and will cause a heart attack or stroke without warning. Now to imagine that these diseases are seriously self conflicted still blows my mind, and still people will rely on medication when the ACTUAL CURE is improved lifestyle.

Sometimes we get so desperate to change our body we're willing to do the extreme to get their. Sometimes we train as the average person or athlete, and we do things that are out of this world and DON'T work with our bodies, but against it. Sometimes we want to change our body & health so bad that we jeopardize the most important thing, our mental insanity & health. The better we get to understand our body (our self) inside and out, then we are able to be in full control of progress, performance, and health.

Today's guest speaker, Nicole Montesanti, has been through her ups & downs. She's been on stage competing and showing off her amazing progress she has well earned, then goes into a mental fog as well as creating an eating disorder. Imagine being in a body you don't recognize, and having to live in it 24/7. Then living in it with total confusion on how to fix it. I know a lot of us go through this daily, which is why Nicole's interview will change your life!

Today we dive in deep inside mindset and self love. This is by far the most important yet most difficult thing to conquer throughout life or a dramatic change in life. Society now a days has painted this picture of how we should look. For females it's, Thin waist, skinny body, thing legs, broad shoulders, and flat tummy. For men it's, big biceps, 6 pack abs, 6% BF year round, ect. Are these realistic for everyone? Are these standards we should live by? Better yet, is this the definition of perfection? The definition of perfect is: having all the required or desirable elements, qualities, or characteristics; as good as it is possible to be.

"As good as it is possible to be". So not even the definition can say perfect means flawless or without imperfections. Your body, health, and life is YOURS. No one knows it, no one has your body, no one struggles like you do, no one is you but YOU! With this being said. strive for progress not perfection. In this episode I touch 3 big topics that create the mindset of "I need to be perfect to be happy". I also share a very inspiring quote within this podcast episode, and it goes like this: "You can not go back and change the beginning, but you can start now and change the ending". Do something today to make a better tomorrow!

Majority of people quit because the pain is to much to handle. Our nervous system is a beautiful thing. It let's us know what to stay away from. It lets us know when we feel uncomfortable and it's time to get somewhere a little more comfortable. One thing for sure is when the body feels pain, the body wants to try and find a way to stop it immediately no matter what is causing the pain. 

Now you as the person in control of your body can decide what pain is good pain. When it comes down to specifically training, fitness, exercise, sports, ect, when we push our bodies to its limits we tend to let pain define our limits. Pain should never be a limit while on the other side lies progress. Things that are hard in life or within your health & fitness journey, will be the things that make you greater for tomorrow and that much closer to your goals. Pain is essential, pain is necessary, pain is progress!

When COVID hit and we were forced to be in our homes, did you take on an extra hobby? Did you set goals to change your health, start a business, or a podcast (like me :D). The guest speaker for today has taken opportunities in life and ran with them. The reason why I ask if you did anything during the whole lockdown is because life is full of lockdowns. There are times where we are forced to do things we don't like, but even in those areas, there are doors of opportunity.

Guest Speaker, Co-founder of RpStrength, and Author of the "Fit to Success", Nick Shaw, comes on the show today to explain a handful of things. I highly recommend you take some notes or give this episode some uninterrupted time to really absorb what Nick has to say. In any health journey, goal journey, career journey, education journey, ect, there will always be struggles and sacrifices. One thing you have total control over is what happens next. Take the things in life and dissect them. Understand them, and get up and continue to push towards whatever your journey is.

Majority of the time we get so focused on our goals (losing 10lbs, losing 20lbs, gaining muscle, getting faster, ect) that we lose sight of who we are and why we even began in the first place. On top of that, we strive to accomplish these goals over night or even in our first month, but in reality this won't happen (well at least in a healthy way). Doing to many changes or going drastic over night will cause a backlash effect that might push you further than where you are now. So how do we consistently move forward towards our progress?

We create small progress to fulfill drastic change towards your goals! In this episode I will explain how you can do this within your nutrition lifestyle, training, and mindset. Little moves can make a huge play, and this is how you must look at your journey. When you have a goal to shred 20lbs of fat and in 2 months all you lose is 5, don't put yourself down. Embrace your small progress and create the drastic change that you want! 

And, if you haven't started your journey yet, it's okay. You can start today by applying one of the many things I share in this episode.
