Have you ever wondered why some people bounce so quickly after setbacks, but you just can’t seem to stick to the plan?
Do you believe that things are happening TO you or happening FOR you?
Do you see setbacks as part of the process, things that you can learn from? Or insurmountable obstacles
If you feel stuck in a never-ending loop of starting on Mondays, going strong for 2 weeks only to end up where you started, this episode is for you.
We’re going to look at beliefs that are holding you back and my goal for this episode is to provide a powerful reframe that will help you to never see things the same.
Here's what you will hear:
Mindset shift #1 : Your age is not a doom sentenceMindset shift #2: It's not failure, it's a data pointMindset shift #3: Your weight is an indicator, not a dictatorMindset shift #4: The bleep on the radar
If you are a lifetime dieter, and have tried all the diets under the sun, these mindset shifts will get you out of the rut.
You’re in a strange head space because of what dieting is doing to your emotions.
Dieting trains you to follow rules.
Dieting trains you to expect perfect adherence.
Dieting trains you to focus on the outcome instead of the process.
Everything will change when you work with a coach like me, someone who partners with you, problem-solves with you when you struggle and helps you repeat what works when you succeed.

Believing in God and engaging with faith prolongs life.
The research now shows that it adds an extra 4 year in lifespan, cut by 30% the risk of death, and brings a host of health benefits from psychological to physical.
And yet the leading experts in the field of longevity never mention God.
As a follower of Christ, I also see some very questionable practices done in the attempt to outlive others, and even trying to live forever.
In today's episode, I share the 7 rules I follow to make sure my longevity lifestyle is not a self-serving, ego-driven attempt to escape God's will and God's perfect design, and how I make this pursuit of losing fat and building muscle something that gives him glory.
This is a bonus episode, because less tactical than usual.

95% of people who successfully follow a diet put the weight back on.
The reason for that?
A diet provides a temporary solution. But if you put the weight back and some, it’s a failing solution.
And this is how too many of us are lifetime dieters: trying every diet under the sun, as if it was a matter of finding the right one.
Spoiler: it is not.
You don’t need another diet,
You don’t need to beat yourself up until you reach perfect adherence to the perfect diet,
You don’t need to count and measure and restrict for the rest of your life,
And you are not the problem.
Today I want to help you escape this approach that is failing you and give you some keys to create the one thing you need to lose weight for good, especially belly fat, AND KEEP IT OFF.
This ONE THING you need is a LIFESTYLE that is geared towards health and fitness.
What does that mean and what does it look like to have a lifestyle for a lean body, a lower body fat and stronger muscle?
What is a longevity lifestyle?
In this episode I give you the framework to create a lifestyle so you can lose weight for good, get rid of body fat and keep it off.

I have said this many time on this podcast: fermented foods are a must-have in your arsenal to reduce belly visceral fat.
So today I am going to give you some science to back this up and share 4 links between your gut health and belly fat:
1. Some populations of bacteria that are unhealthy disrupt the gut barrier, which lets some pieces of bacteria or food in the blood stream, that shouldn’t be there.These particles that enter the circulation are recognized as a threat, which drives inflammation and insulin resistance in belly fat.
2. The bacteria in our gut produce small molecules, called Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) that play a role in reducing visceral belly fatSCFAs stimulate GLP-1 and other peptides that improve metabolism and reduce belly fat accumulation
3. Unhealthy bacteria extract more calories from the diet, which can end up being stored as belly fat
4. Less inflammation means better liver function and better fat burning
How do you nurture a thriving gut microbiome to accelerate belly fat loss and burning belly fat?
There’s something far superior to probiotics in a pill. Something that’s the real deal :
Fermented foods!
Fermented vegetables bring BOTH prebiotics and probiotics.
Listen to the end of this episode and get my tips on incorporating more fermented foods to your diet.

The gut-fat connection could be the secret to you finally getting rid of stubborn belly fat.
To understand how a healthy gut microbiome could hold the key to reduce your waist-line, make sure to go back to episode 17 of this podcast.
In this episode, I chat with Holly Howe, founder of the website MakeSauerkraut.com, author of Mouthwatering Sauerkraut [+Kimchi], and host of the annual Fermentation Summit. Holly is a passionate fermentation teacher dedicated to making the art of sauerkraut and kimchi approachable, foolproof, and life-changing. She empowers home fermenters to turn simple ingredients into probiotic-rich superfoods with confidence.
In the time we spent together, we touched on - The simplicity and cost-efficiency of fermenting food
- How fermenting food boosts nutritional value and unlocks beneficial nutrients for our body- The easy steps anyone can take to start turning their ordinary meals into a 5-star chef experience
I loved learning more about homemade ferments and I hope you join me in taking a shot at it.
