the Origin Health and Fitness Podcast

Joey Salgado, co-founder of Progressive Motion, returns to the podcast Joey has been instrumental in empowering me with the tools and skills to navigate various physical demands that my life requires, such as hitting a golf ball 300+ yards, constructing two gyms from scratch, deadlifting 500 pounds, and parenting two energetic toddler boys. As I've taken on these new roles, my priorities have shifted, and time constraints have become... more constrained. Through it all, Joey has equipped me with the knowledge to do everything I want to do at a high level,  On this episode, Joey shares the Origin story of PM, and we discuss how our personal growth journeys and dedication to self-improvement have shaped our business ethos and approach to life. Stay tuned for part two, where we will cover the ABCs of recovering from an injury by sharing a framework for both the mental and physical aspects of recovery.

Today, we got into the meat and potatoes of how to make this the LAST time you need to do a hard reset on your health and start from scratch. Full transparency... the title of this pod is not the full focus... the real focus is: Unpacking Your Life and Starting From Scratch - With Health as the Focal Point ... But I feel like the phone thing is going to resonate more than that long/boring title.

This week's episode is kicked off by a health-centered travelogue from my recent trip, and then we jump straight into the juiciest Q&A questions of the season so far. Part 1 Travelogue Healthy airport eating Getting out in front of water, protein, and fiber on travel days Fully enjoying the trip without feeling guilty about health decisions Part 2 Q&A: What are general ways to improve sleep?  How do you instill healthy food habits in kids while balancing things like sweet treats?  How does your day look when you are unmotivated / brain-fried?  What is your why? 

This week's episode was a vulnerable but important discussion (one-man-discussion). I pulled back the curtain and let our listeners in on how to be coachable and where I see people kill their progress by being un-coachable - and what frustrates/confuses us most as coaches. Part 1 Q&A: How to maintain healthy habits during travel How many calories should I burn per workout? Bouncing back from a "cheat meal" the next day Part 2 Monologue: How to be coachable and get the most out of coaching

How Diamonds are made: Diamond formation occurs when carbon deposits deep within the earth(approximately 90 to 125 miles below the surface) are subject to high temperature and pressure. Some stones take shape in a matter of days or months, while others take millions of years to materialize. Notable Quotes: "What is most alarming to me is that we're willing to absorb so much pressure from outside forces like work but shy away from the pressure needed to be successful in our health." "We put health on the back burner while the other pressures in life subside - which it never will, by the way, meanwhile life passes us by." "The rent of your health and fitness is due every day." "If it feels like you're going in circles, it's probably because you're cutting corners." "A positive cycle of self-motivation and results starts with you owning your health." "When you go all in, it actually becomes easier and all of the things that used to hold you back - are no longer an issue." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
