The Live Well With Em Podcast

Today we're talking about one of the major things keeping you “stuck” in your goals... and that's quite literally what's going on between your ears - AKA YOUR MINDSET! I'm going to break down two different mindset blocks that I so often see keeping us complacent or not moving forward in our goals and things we want to do or accomplish. These are things that I've worked through myself and that I help many of my personal clients to as well. I also break down simple things you can do to start working through them yourself so that you can finally kick your fear, limiting beliefs and excuses to the side and get after the life that you really want and your healthiest, most vibrant self. 

Today's topic is one of my favorites - and that's metabolic health.   More specifically, we're going to be talking about simple things that everyone can and should be doing on a daily basis to create and support a healthier metabolism. And I think everyone can benefit from this message in some way because the fact of the matter is, statistics show that 88% of Americans have metabolic issues - meaning that ONLY 12% of us are considered metabolically healthy. That is insane you guys… and an epidemic in itself you ask me.

So excited to be back here and to kick off the New Year with you guys. With the New Year, I know that so many of us are in the mindset of self improvement, setting goals, taking back control in different areas of our lives and while no there's no magic in the New Year, I do love the extra push that it can give so many people to really start or restart in their goals - especially from a health and fitness perspective.  My goal with today's episode and those to come through the rest of this month (stay tuned!) is to help you be successful not in just reaching those goals but to do so in a way that finally sticks, that becomes your lifestyle to where you don't find yourself back here AGAIN next January and starting over for the umteenth time. We'll get to more strategic things in the episodes to come around macros, metabolic supportive habits and all the things but first I want to dive into something that's deeper than that and it's what you actually focus on day in and day out as you're working towards these goals - specifically if those goals are that of fat loss or weight loss. And that's what you focus on

It's Thanksgiving week and we are officially in the holiday season! In this week's episode, I am giving you some of my top tips and things to take with you this week and through the holiday season. I personally don't believe in restricting yourself or obsessing over your tracking/macros on Thanksgiving but I do believe in making choices that help you feel your best - and that's what I want to help you with in this episode. It's meant to help you not go too overboard so that you end the day feeling great and you wake up the next day feeling just as good - if not better!   

We're back and thank you for being here with us! In today' episode, I dive into one of the questions that I get asked SO OFTEN. And that is always some version of “What is the best diet?”    "Emily, what nutrition plan should I follow?" “Do I need to cut carbs?” “Should I not eat anything processed?” “Do you recommend that I do paleo?” “So and so loves their vegan diet - should I do that?” And my answer is simple - it depends. I break down what I mean by that and why there's several nutritional approaches that work really well + what they all have in common as well as some nutritional red flags you can keep an eye out for too.

Since starting my own journey in 2018, I've thankfully been able to gain invaluable lessons through my education, personal experience and working with clients… so today, I've taken some of that and put together a few things I know now that I only wish I knew then. I hope you can take what you need from this episode to make the absolute most of your journey because it truly is such a sweet and life changing road to be on. There's inevitably going to be ups and downs along the way but hopefully these tips can save you some time, mistakes and frustration along the way. And always know, YOU GOT THIS!

Welcome to episode 1, friends! My goal for this podcast is to empower and encourage you to make the shifts in your life to feel + be your very best - inside and out. I personally spent years struggling to do so and being caught up in the corporate grind, neglecting my own health, lacking any real knowledge in how to actually take care of my body and just feeling like a shell of myself most days. Since then though, through several ups and downs + trials and errors, I've been able to get to the other side of that and step into what's truly the healthiest, happiest and most authentic me that I've ever been. I've been able to heal my body from years of terrible eating choices, chronic dieting, living off of stress 90% of the time and all of the things that we all know too well and have created a thriving coaching business where I help women do the same. I'm so excited to bring some of that support, guidance and encouragement to you through this podcast as well because life sure is beautiful when it's one that you THRIVE in.

I'm so happy you are here!
