Why You Can't Stay Motivated and How to Fix It #246

06/09/22 • 57 min

Many people believe that it's their lack of motivation that prevents them from making progress... That if only they were able to master their will, anything would be possible. These are usually men who have historically been motivated which just adds to the frustration. If I could stick to that, why can't I stick to this? But what if it wasn't actually about motivation at all? What if you only needed to master THREE things in order to create progress, momentum and therefore, results? Over the last 20 years and throughout my career, I've studied the intersection of mindset, the nervous system, and the physical body... which are inextricably intertwined.

So on today's solocast, I wanted to feature a snippet of my last workshop where I share my understanding of what is really holding you back from feeling consistently motivated.

You'll learn:

The 3 KEY components of motivation that will help you get unstuck.
What ONE practice can expand your capacity more than any other.
The GREATEST driving factor of consistent progress in your training.
How to preserve + amplify new levels of youthful energy.
What guarantees continued success in all areas of life.

The Mindset for Exceptional Training #245

After decades of coaching high-achievers, I've seen that the people who succeed simply commit and follow through. It's not their skill level, talent, or predisposition for health and fitness. Instead it's their character and integrity. It's the whatever-it-takes attitude. These men are also the ones I find myself continually inspired by. That's why I just released a solocast on The Mindset for Exceptional Training - for these men and the ones who aspire to be like them. You'll learn:

The most important thing to curate each day.
The KEY step most people miss in the transformation process.
How to balance rigidity and fluidity in your training.
A framework for addressing and improving your weakest links.
The ONE mistake you're making in your mobility work.

The Cure for Female Hormonal Imbalances #247

Today's episode is an extensive, and highly actionable explanation of health for women. I sought out Dr. Carrie Jones because she's a true expert on an often-debated, commonly misunderstood subject: hormones. Dr. Carrie Jones recognizes the impact that hormonal imbalance can have at any age (for men AND women!), and is an advocate for the appropriate use of lab testing. A Functional Medicine Health and Hormone Doctor, Dr. Jones believes that when people understand their bodies, they feel more empowered to take control of their health. This is especially true when they're told everything is "normal," but they don't feel that way. You'll learn:

Why and how endocrine disruptors are affecting you.
Immediate KEY levers to balance your monthly cycles.
The simple red flags to help you determine hormonal imbalance.
Supplements & tests to optimize estrogen detoxification.
Which two facets of health are often neglected but matter most.
