Diet culture is confusing. With modern marketing, social media, and endless diet books, is it any wonder that people are confused about what to eat? The reality is, there is not a one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to diet. Different things work for different folks, and this can even vary throughout different seasons of life. If you’re paleo or vegetarian and that works for you right now, more power to you. But being true to your health means valuing your body more than that label and being open-minded enough to consider that your needs might change one day in the future. Personalizing your nutrition approach (and being flexible!) is key to optimal health. That’s why when I read 131 Method by Chalene Johnson, I knew I had to share it with you. The book doesn’t have a list of good and bad foods. Instead, it’s about honoring your own body, experimenting with your diet, and eating what makes you feel good. You are uniquely you, and your diet should be too. How powerful is that? On today’s show, Chalene returns to the Model Health Show to help you challenge common food perceptions and stop thinking like a dieter. We’ll discuss how to become more metabolically flexible, and how to discover which foods work best with your body. If you’re ready to step away from destructive food habits and thought patterns, I know Chalene’s story will bring you a ton of value, insight, and empowerment. In this episode you’ll discover: Why Chalene begins her new book with an apology. The reason why one-size-fits-all diet approachesdon’t work. How Chalene literally changed her brain health. The importance of giving yourself permission to experiment with food. How marketing has infiltrated into our culture and affected the way we raise our kids. What fast mimickingis and how it works. The difference between fasting and starving. What autophagyis, and why it’s so important for brain health. The importance of setting a clear health objective. How fasting can help you reset your gut and immune system. The most powerful method for identifying food sensitivities. What it means to cross train your diet. How to teach your body to be more metabolically flexible. Why cheating should not be in your food vocabulary. What it means to choose your hard.

Entrepreneur. Direct marketing superstar. Guinness Book of World Records holder and celebrity trainer. These are just a few of the ways to describe today's guest, Chalene Johnson. Chalene is the powerhouse behind 30 Day Push, Smart Success seminar, The Chalene Show podcast and she's the best-selling author of Push. From her first business of flipping cars to pay for college to her massively popular Turbo Jam fitness company, Chalene has been an entrepreneur. Her commitment has always been helping people, identifying needs and solving problems. In the early days of Turbo Jam's success she says she was doing everything for her business: responding to message board inquiries, creating new dance routines, filming, all of it. Sure it was a tremendous financial success for her, but she felt sick and miserable. When her first royalty check came in the mail, and it was a hefty $365,000, she fell on her couch and cried because she knew she couldn't keep it up. So over the next several years she and her husband completely reverse engineered her out of the Turbo Jam business, and then went through a lengthy negotiation process to sell it. The lesson she learned as a result? She didn't have to always do more or be more productive; once you learn how to do something you can outsource it and have others do it for you. Today she helps people do just that with her personal brand built on programs, podcasts, and her books. Her mission is to undo the example she set with her Turbo Jam business! She wants others to enjoy and have success in every area of their lives from their families to their businesses, and all points in between. She has created a movement, one of the pillars of which is her 30 day push program. This program was created based on her own personal success, and failures. Clearly she's someone who can set and achieve goals, she's a master at it. This program shows people how to set 10 goals for the year based on your own priorities. Then choose that one "push goal" that will have a domino affect on the others. Perhaps you want to take a month off to go somewhere with your family, that's one of your 10 goals. Chalene's program helps you look at the other 9 and figure out which is the goal that will push you forward to achieve the others. Those are just a few of the topics we cover on the today's episode. Chalene is a powerful wealth of information so tune in to hear the full scope of her knowledge. Essential Learning Points From This Episode:The All-Michigan Auto Swap Meet was her first business: true or false? Why Chalene was so miserable when she got her first royalty check. How she and her husband reverse engineered and sold their fitness business. Why a seasonal approach to growing a business is so impactful. Her biggest passion right now is podcasting. Why?

Confidence is everything. Confidence is the sole underpinning of every action we take in our lives. Truly, we wouldn't do anything if we didn't believe, even a little bit, that we will succeed in making it happen. Confidence does not mean that you don't have fear. This is the big mistake that trips most people up. Fear is natural. Fear is normal. Fear is actually the foundation on which incredible confidence can be built. Without fear we may not take something seriously and truly prepare. Without confidence there is no action at all. If anyone knows a thing or two about building confidence, it's New York Times bestselling author Chalene Johnson. She's built an empire from the ground up, in multiple highly competitive industries, looking fear in the face the whole way. Today she's here to share her most powerful secrets for building your self-confidence and self-love. Some of these tips may surprise you, but you definitely can't argue with the results. She is also going to share a powerful exercise that will help you figure out the perfect workout for yourself. When I did the exercise I was surprised what came up, but it put a huge smile on my face and lots of excitement because it made perfect sense. Chalene is a phenomenon, and I'm truly honored to be able to share this with you. But, remember, the tips don't work unless you work it. So, take action on what you learn so that you can see the results firsthand for yourself! In this episode you'll discover: What the word "holistic" really means. What success really looks like "behind the scenes". How Chalene took action to solve a problem in the fitness industry. What a "Soulmate Workout" is and how to find yours. How your perception determines whether exercise is a punishment or reward. Why Chalene doesn't diet down for exercise videos. Why you might want to research before you choose a workout. A powerful exercise to connect with the fitness that fits you. Why self-love is more critical than people realize. How to break away from negative self-talk. Why your brain is hardwired to look for problems. How to build your self-confidence (and how it can go wrong!). Items mentioned in this episode include: * Onnit.com/Model
