42: The Biggest Change You Need to Make To Lose Weight--Your Mindset

As we've been working with fat loss clients, we've noticed a similar trend between people who get results and people who struggle--their ability to shift their mindset. You mind is a muscle and it also needs to get worked and stretched in order to help you grow and evolve. When you're losing weight and trying to change your body composition, your mind can sometimes work against you. On this episode we talk about why working on your mindset can make such a big difference in your fat loss journey. Some topics we cover is evolving your identity, focusing on process versus outcomes, self talk, and thinking longer term versus short term fixes.

41: Fitness Wearables and Data- Are We Evolving or Distracted?

It seems that our social media feeds are being filled with ads for all the new fitness trends. Wearables like WHOOP, Oura Ring, even Apple Watch give us a slew of unique and interesting data about our bodies. But how accurate is that data and can we trust it? When do you draw the line between the data and the device telling you how you should feel and workout versus tuning into how your body feels and your intuition. It begs the question: are we truly getting healthier with all this data or is it just making us more stressed, obsessed, and disconnected. We answer this question and also take a deep dive into our own experiences with these devices and what we've learned with our clients and ourselves.
