“Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become.” – James Clear In this episode of Stronger U Radio, Manager of Nutrition Education and Innovation, Gianna Masi RDN, CISSN, is joined by Tim Landicho. Tim has been a trainer for the last six years, currently serving as a coach for the digital fitness platform, Tonal. He's also a former Stronger U member and briefly touches on his experience with us! Tim's mission is for people to fall in love with the process, and his mantra is “showing up imperfectly but relentlessly.” He views fitness as a vehicle for people to stop being so afraid and disconnected from their bodies and to increase their capacity to live a bigger life. During this episode, Gianna and Tim focus on the process instead of the outcome when achieving your goals. This upbeat and multifaceted conversation includes: A recap of Tim's journey to arrive at this point in his career in fitness after initially setting out on a different pathHis upbringing, culture, the food he grew up and how they've inspired him to help people build a healthy life around the things that matter to themThe powerful alternative to asking yourself what your “why” isHow values and priorities dictate the pace of how quickly you achieve your goalsWhy consistency is all about bite-sized action, which may look different from day to day depending on what's going on in your lifeThe importance of checking in with your coachThe impact of taking on the identity of the person you want to becomeThe need to normalize fitness as being challenging and a long-term, lifelong practiceUsing pauses and moments of mindfulness as a tool for building awareness around foodRegardless of where you are on your health and fitness journey, this episode will leave you with many great takeaways that will inspire you to get clear on what you want and whom you want to become and then give you the nudge to take action to become that person.     Listen to the full episode, then head to the Stronger U Community to share your thoughts and takeaways.      Subscribe to Stronger U Radio     Follow us on Instagram  

Nervous system dysregulation can cause many mental health symptoms such as depression, anxiety, and insomnia, to name a few. During this episode of Stronger U Radio, Manager of Nutrition Education and Innovation Gianna Masi, RD sat down with Jordan Dann, licensed psychoanalyst, relationship coach, and author of Somatic Therapy for Healing Trauma. The two discuss how having an awareness of how our body holds information about our attachment needs from moment to moment (also known as somatic experience) can be helpful in bringing the body back to a state of balance and results in healthier relationships. During their conversation, you'll hear how boundaries play a role in navigating a relationship with a partner, family member or friend who is unsupportive of your nutritional and lifestyle changes, as well as the importance of differentiation in this scenario. “So often people choose not to make a different choice that is in service of their better health because it's going to create a relational disturbance. They'd rather be confluent than to differentiate and navigate the discomfort,” states Jordan. She goes over some questions to ask yourself, such as: “what's uncomfortable for me about you not joining me?” “What's preventing me from being able to make those choices that I feel are best for myself even if you aren't going to be on board.” “What's going to be required for me to differentiate enough to set up habits that are going to be good for me.” Relational support is essential when moving into something new, so being able to lean on a coach and supportive community, such as we have at Stronger U, to help give us the internal strength to meet the dissatisfaction or discomfort of the people in our lives who want to challenge us, so we go back to the status quo. Throughout this thought-provoking talk, Gianna and Jordan also discuss:The definition of dysregulation and how emotional eating can be a resultTips on identifying when you are dysregulated or triggered, beginning with the importance of being aware of how you feel.How food, movement, and rest impact the nervous system regulationJordan's own experience of how exercise and food affect her moodListen to the full episode and then head over to the Stronger U Community to share your thoughts and takeaways.

During our annual Stronger U Summit in Nashville, our team had the pleasure of hosting Dr. Lisa Lewis as this year's keynote speaker for coach education in counseling and sports psychology. She's worked in college mental health centers before opening a private practice. Dr. Lisa has been practicing counseling and psychotherapy since 2003 across a broad spectrum of mental health and wellness with a diverse range of clients, including those suffering from significant mental health disorders to high-functioning, high-achieving individuals such as athletes or executives who seek counseling or coaching for performance enhancement. During Dr. Lisa's time with us, our Manager of Nutrition Education and Registered Dietitian Gianna Masi and Director of Nutrition Education Dr. Jessica Bachman, PhD, RD sat down with her to discuss the importance of behavior change stages, specifically in health and fitness. As a behavior change expert herself, she shares her own experience with her Stronger U Coach and the Stronger U App (coaches need coaches, too!). You'll also hear a behind-the-scenes summary of what Dr. Lisa covered during her educational presentation to Stronger U coaches, which holds great tips for everyone.

In his second appearance on HALO Talks and as the now newly installed President of Stronger U (part of the Self Esteem umbrella), Adam Zeitsiff discusses their Mission of helping people achieve their nutrition goals and build meaningful human relationships with RD's and certified nutrition coaches, challenging the 95% diet failure rate and revolutionizing the way we think about nutrition. Stronger U has now been in business for 7 years and has an incredibly supportive community of 50,000+ strong!  "There's no shortage of apps and tools out there that use technology and help drive people to understand [nutrition] education. I think what we've been really successful at doing is humanizing the approach . . . We're unapologetically about the human-to-human relationship, because what's more intimate than what you put in your body? There's not a lot of things that are more intimate than that. And you need another human to help guide you through it and understand not just the specifics about what you're eating, but why you're eating it," states Zeitsiff.  Stronger U is direct-to-consumer but also has select partnerships with fitness facilities to provide nutrition support. Generally speaking, the program lasts approximately four to five months and provides education and accountability through a dedicated coach and an app. After four to five months, the user can access a lower price package to remain a part of their extremely vibrant community. In this episode Pete and Adam touch on:  1. How Stronger U is revolutionizing nutrition not by "dieting," but through a human-centric approach and community support. 2. What the differences are between a Registered Dietitian and a certified nutrition coach. 3. How Stronger U uses technology to personalize and sustain nutrition lifestyle changes.

She decided to reach out to Sinan directly via Instagram, and after their initial introduction, she signed up as a Stronger U member, with him as her coach.

By getting back to the basics, your business will experience explosive growth. It's easy to get “shiny object syndrome” when it comes to growing our businesses - that is, the belief that we have to be chasing new and expensive marketing tactics all the time.  But Mike Doehla has proven that sometimes, the simplest things will create major opportunities! Mike founded Stronger U Nutrition to create an innovative online nutrition coaching company. In 2020 Stronger U was named one of America's fastest-growing private companies by Inc 5000, landing at #567. Before they were acquired by Anytime Fitness, the company helped tens of thousands of individuals in more than 50 countries through personalized nutrition support. Now, Anytime Fitness is expanding on Mike's vision. Stronger U is a story of brand loyalty through consistency: And how Mike stuck to the basics to create massive business success. Decide that your vision is worth fighting for. By his own admission, Mike Doehla used to be an “underachiever”. A graduate of his local Community College, Mike realized that he wanted to help people feel better-so committed himself to seeing it through, despite the many discouraging comments he received.  Casting aside the unsolicited advice and criticism of others, Mike tuned into his own capability as an entrepreneur and decided to show up for his clients. This decision would ultimately change the course of his life. Be a problem-solver. Mike's secret is super simple: Meet the clients where they are! Abandoning fancy ad strategies and expensive branding assets, Mike knew that the key to connecting with people was to show up for them…so that's what he did! By making his nutrition program personalized and attentive, his customers began trusting him wholeheartedly and spreading the word. He soon began the process of scaling his business to meet the demands of his growing fanbase and support more clients. Connect first, market later. Mike Doehla recognized something important in marketing: Before you invest in branding and advertising, you have to understand your clients' problems.  By investing in personal relationships and being generous, Mike grew his business through the type of genuine brand loyalty advertising money cannot buy. Quotes “People are turned off by traditional marketing. People always have their guard up. I want to buy a product because it solves a problem, and because someone I like told me about it.” “We just had to multiply what I did. When I could serve our customers very well, I needed people on the staff that could serve them as well or better. We looked for people who aligned with our nutritional philosophies, people with high emotional intelligence who are available to be customer-centric.” “I mostly thought of the challenges people were facing around food. Then, we crafted posts and content for those people.” “I would solve problems people didn't even know they had. Then, they would start following me and eventually become customers. I would just give, give, give.” “I would go where the people were. People have questions. I would go and give advice, not really to sell stuff. Think about where the customer is! They're not excited to follow a business that talks about the business.” “Stop worrying about the numbers. Just do the things that will influence the direction of those numbers.” “I had a lot of feelings of being an imposter. I didn't go to school for this stuff…I had to prove myself. But once the customers were getting great results, I worked to put that out there. I always knew, all I need to do was help people and they'll put that out into the world.” “I almost didn't do this because of what people on the internet said…people I don't even know.” Links mentioned in this episode: Explore Stronger U Nutrition on their website https://strongeru.com/who-we-are/  Follow Stronger U on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/strongeru/  Follow Mike's personal and entrepreneurial journey on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/mikedoehla/
