Summary of episode: In today's episode we are going to show you how to fix your relationship with food and finally get the results you deserve.

(0:00) - Intro

Most people know what to do but they just don’t do it. I’d argue a good chunk of the population. Let’s say 90% of people know if they eat less they’ll get better results.

The other 10% still believe that starvation myth, hormones, metabolism, and all that junk is what’s holding them back

Today, instead of telling you to eat less and move more we’re going to aim to fix your relationship with food once and for all, to help you make better food decisions.

1- Be aware of the times you actually struggle

2- Add Before You Subtract

3- Use food as fuel

4- Build non-food sources of dopamine

5- Eat foods you love that are also good for you

6- Add more predictable structure

7- Avoid the all or nothing mentality

In this episode I go over different ways and strategies for managing strength training with endurance training, while getting results.

In this case, I’ll be referring quite a bit to my marathon training and how I managed it all.

(0:00) - Intro

(3:45) 1- Scheduling will be everything

• Often I’d have to double up (early run, lift later)

• Following your schedule instead of emotions will be KEY

(6:14) - 2- Follow a properly periodized routine

Running, lifting, etc

(8:20) 3- Prioritize what’s valuable to you

• Might have to cut out bicep curls and other intense sports during these times

(10:40)- Get your free guide

(11:52) 4- Avoid cutting corners w/ strength training

• huge mistake from runners

(16:16) - Recover like an athlete

• Sleep 7–9 hours - your recovery is what drives muscle retention.

• Manage stress - too much fatigue from both styles kills progress.

• Stay hydrated and consider electrolytes for longer cardio sessions.

(18:03) - 6- Get used to being uncomfortable & embrace the suck

• Soreness will be normal

• Being tired will be normal

(19:47) 7- Understand the importance of listening to your body
