I recently shared with you guys that episode 240 was one of my favorites - we were talking about how your body allows or disallows fat burning and what you can do to control this cellular & hormonal signaling. Understanding these concepts is really the key to figuring out wh...

I'm coming at you with another Motivational Minisode, tough love style! We're talking about indulgences - the repetitive food & drink choices that are keeping you from your goals. Here's the thing: despite the fact that you keep choosing them, they're almost never worth it. Sure, you're in the habit of giving in to temptation, cravings & social pressure so it's easy to say "yes" than "no". But it'...

There is a difference between a food allergy and a food intolerance. You might have unidentified food intolerances that are impacting your health and your progress towards your goals and not even know it! And, just because you've tolerated a food before doesn't mean you do now. Plus, you can overcome your food intolerances! If you continue to consume a food to which you are even mildly intolerant,...

I think we all want to be more productive. We want to be less stressed while making more progress towards our goals. That can be a tricky thing to balance because we see the pursuit of our goals as demanding that more get done. We see being more productive as getting more done. In both cases, we feel overwhelmed before we even start because we just don't have enough time to get more done! However,...
