Better Body Academy Podcast

A lot of people start a transformation in Better Body Academy with the purpose of changing their body. Yet what many don't realise until they get deep into their journey, is that the mind is often a lot harder to overhaul than the body. In this episode, Jase explores how so many of us live in lack, caused by fear and what we should actually do to move through it. 

Sitting there, watching the passing traffic, wishing for a better life? This will resonate with so many people that are just stuck. In this episode, Jase takes us through how a simple experience he had in Italy serves as a metaphor for life and procrastination. Cross the FKIN road!

In this short episode, we have a discussion around finding one reason for change!

"Just do what FEELS right" - that's the conventional wisdom, right? The problem is, what feels good rarely aligns with what IS good and beneficial. In this episode, we discuss the problem with becoming attached to your feelings in any transformation and why they are usually the reason for falling off the wagon. 

"You can't put a price on your health" - well then why do our actions not align that belief? With two-thirds of the western world now classed as overweight, why are we not doing more to address it? In this episode, I'm going to give you the straight up mindset shifts you need to get yourself into momentum. 

Most clients come to us with the goal of weight loss and they have in their mind some long held ideas on what that will involve. A diet and copious amounts of cardio, right? WRONG! In this episode, we're going to discuss some ideas on the most efficient long term fat loss strategies.

This episode comes with a trigger warning. I'm expecting a number of listeners to turn off because the content can be somewhat confronting. That is perhaps our biggest fear and in this episode I want to encourage you to look it in the face, and use it to create leverage while you are alive. Are your limitations real or imagined? What life experiences are they stopping you from indulging? Let's dis...

Most people assume that the journey to your perfect body is mostly to do with the hard work in a gym or on your nutrition.

We're moving away from the super-serious episodes around lockdown mentality and prosecuting an argument around having more sex! Sure, first and foremost, there's the pleasure. But research is now showing a link between more sex and better mental and physical health and in this episode, we pull it all apart.

Do you ever feel like you start your journey, make progress, but then end up back where you started when you fall off the wagon? I see this over and over again, because that's part of the process of overcoming yourself. But it's when you fail and then go into self-destruction mode, that things get ugly. In this episode, we discuss what self-sabotage is and how we all operate by a program supported...

As we continue to navigate the COVID challenges, I wanted to address the fact that lockdown is an amplifier of whatever you were feeling prior.

But we also have a decision to make about what type of li...

This is a BIG episode. Fear is the number one reason we men and women hold back from achieving our goals. And the number one fear - fear of failure and judgement. In this episode, we pull apart what fear actually is and how stepping out of your comfort zone will help you in liberating yourself.  

With the current lockdowns in Australia, it's very easy to start blaming the world around you for your state of mind. However, those that are in control, do not react to external circumstances.

This episode may trigger a few people, particularly if you've been breaking your word for a long time now. It's the reason why so few of us have the self-belief to execute on our goals and find our next level of success.

Specifically, we'll address the 'clean eating' movement for fat loss and why as a standalone strategy, it is ineffective.  

Look, we all have times when our attitude goes to shit. It's part of being a human and being overly hard on ourselves does not help.

Why does keto grind my gears? Well, unless you are thinking of giving up carbohydrates for the rest of your life, then why start it in the first place?

In this episode, Jase discussed why following meal plans and coaching programs that pigeon-hole you into rigid structures only serves to...

There's no argument from Better Body Academy Coach Nikki - in her mid-30's, she was very stuck!
