We often talk about our disdain for the diet industry and how poorly the fitness industry often addresses nutrition. We lean in on what needs to change and what's wrong but I've heard the question a million times...."So I'm not supposed to go on a restrictive diet, now what do I do?" Because the truth is we've been conditioned to think we need to be on or off some "plan" for us to be healthy and that's just not the case. In this episode, Tyler and I focus not on what's wrong with the industry, but instead, the small tangible steps you can take to help discover health & food freedom.
"It's time to do the hard S#!T!"- Whether most of us like it or not there comes a time in health and fitness where we have to battle, we have to push past the point we feel comfortable and do the hard s#!t to make a change and come out the other side a better version of ourselves. Today Heidi and I brought on a guest speaker- Tyler Whitmer- Olympic Sports Performance Director from Boise State to help us find the best approach to getting this done. Tyler has worked with 1000's of athletes at elite levels and knows the best way and mindset to accomplish your goals. Not only does he provide amazing insight into the physical and mental understanding of fitness and health, but he also gives great insight into how to make these principles last for a lifetime, not just a short motivational moment.
