Coffee With Kriss

Normal: Eating processed, packaged, fast, fake food. Which then causes disease and sickness. Go to doctor to get a pill only to cause further sickness. Rinse and repeat.  YOU: Understand that the food you eat is either causing wellness, or sickness so you prioritize clean and fresh ingredients which allow your thyroid, blood sugar and weight to remain healthy. - Not normal.   Normal: Drink coffee for breakfast, an energy drink at lunch and preworkout before the gym. Get 5-6 hours of sleep - brag about it.  YOU: Prioritize your health, get enough sleep, limit caffeine to keep your system healthy and alert. - Not Normal   Normal: Go to the lunch room at work seeing people have a pizza and donut party, followed by sodas and dessert.  YOU: Enjoyed date night last night, so you opt for your homemade fresh meal you made in the fridge. People make fun of you because prioritizing your health - not normal.   *** I am not a doctor. I do not recommend NOT going to the doctor.

The biggest hill you will climb in a physical fitness journey, one to regain the control of your health - is the mental one. Sadly, this world does not make it easy. Its EASY to conform. This is the truth that will set you free from the BS of the industry trying to sell quick fixes and gimicks, and the strength to be the outlier in the sick world we live in. The key to your success, starts in your heart and in your mind. To set out and do something that the MAJORITY aren't willing to. Are you ready?

You may hear this a lot in the fitness space "#lifestylenotadiet" but was does it mean and how does it apply to you?   This podcast is for the person who wants to give up on their fitness journey. Who hasn't found anything that works yet. That is frustrated with lack of progress. That thinks dieting is just too hard. That has tried diet after diet but still nothing sticks. Who is frustrated with the process.

Diets don't work. What?! A fitness coach saying diets don't work. They don't. Fitness challenges, weight loss challenges, fad diets, dieting in general - it's all temporary. It's unsustainable. It's not maintainable. So why do we continue doing these things while KNOWING that?! This podcast we talk about the missing link. Not just talking about it... But what you can DO to change it. Enjoy!!  

Embarking in a new fitness journey can be so overwhelming! Some coaches say this. Some experts say that.

And remember, don't wait until you know everything to begin on your journey - JUST BEGIN!

How Keto messed me up, and why I have to rebuild my foundation. What is wrong with America making commercials basically saying water is lame? How to be healthy without all the crap recommendations from the government who really doesn't care. This episode gets a little down and dirty - because I am so sick and tired of all the unqualified, downright ridiculous "health" information being shared. Get a shot - and you get a free donut every day - "I feel like I am taking crazy pills!"

Do you ever wish your life was a little different? Maybe that you were more organized, more carefree, more disciplined.. That you see a trait in a friend, coworker or family member that you truly admire? And you want for yourself but chalk it up to, "this is just me, and that's the way I am." I've said that to myself so many times before. And it's the biggest lie we tell ourselves. In this podcast I dig into how to become the person you want to be.  If that is a healthier you, calmer you, more devout you - whatever it is that you desire - the ball is in your court.

An old Cherokee Parable:   "A fight is going on inside me," he said to the boy. "It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. "One is evil - he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, self-doubt, and ego. "The other is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. "This same fight is going on inside you - and inside every other person, too." The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win?" The old chief simply replied, "The one you feed."   There is no doubt, 2020 has brought some major, unexpected burdens to many aspects of our day-to-day life. September was a month of immense pain, but even more exponential growth. How I was able to apply this intentionally on my COVID brought blues and was able to get out of a "funk" and back to the thriving person I want to be. **Edit - my father died in 2015, not 2005* Coach K

So, part 1 (Episode 11) we talked about the yo-yo diet cycle most women have been stuck in for years. . The truth behind breaking it isn't that you haven't "found" the right diet. . It's that diets simply don't work. . What WORKS are small lifestyle changes, compounding over time that eventually become daily habits. .

To lose weight we all think we have to eat the right foods and do a ton of cardio. As a nutrition coach, yes, those things matter. But the huge part of this that most people miss, and is why they fail, isn't their eyes or their stomach...it's what's upstairs. If you aren't willing to work on your mindset and change it, don't be surprised if you don't have lasting success with weight loss. This podcast is all about mindset, how and why it matters, and how we can alter it to find success in our lives and in our weight loss journies! Coach K

We are in unprecedented times.   Maybe you were making hella progress and now, you are slipping and unsure of what to do. Maybe the stay at home order is stressing you out.

Are any of these habits familiar to you?   These are the most common habits I see with my clients, and what I had to go through myself - that HINDER weight loss. It isn't always about finding the right foods, but finding the habits that are stopping you from reaching our goals. Coach Kriss

So many times, I run into clients who are lacking support from those they love the most.   What to do to get spousal support/family support/friends support.   And what to do if they refuse.    This is YOUR journey.   *if you are in an abusive/toxic relationship - seek professional help* *I am not a psychiatrist, Dr or Therapist - this is from my personal experience*
