    How to get back on track with fitness and nutrition | TeamChat010

    How to get back on track with fitness and nutrition | TeamChat010

    In our conversation, Brett and I are discussing the essential steps to get back on track in your fitness journey, particularly after experiencing breaks or setbacks. Brett talks to stress the significance of setting clear and attainable goals, whether you're aiming for weight loss or strength gain. These goals should be small and achievable, as they can lead to significant improvements in your overall health and wellness. I firmly believe that taking these smaller steps is the key to long-term success in fitness.



    One critical piece of advice we share is to concentrate on one discipline at a time before adding more to your routine. Think of it like compound interest – your efforts will build upon each other over time.Moreover, it's crucial to forgive yourself for any mistakes or deviations from your plan, rather than punishing yourself. Instead, take consistent action towards your goals, even if progress seems slow or inconsistent.



    To help you on your journey, Brett and I recommend three actionable items: set clear goals, track your progress, and find accountability.Furthermore, we discuss practical tips for achieving fitness goals and measuring progress effectively. For instance, start by drinking 2-3 liters of water per day and set an initial protein goal of 100g, gradually increasing it over time.



    I emphasize the importance of taking small, measurable steps in your fitness routine, such as tracking your food intake and exercise using tools like MyFitnessPal. Brett and I encourage you to start today and seek support through our Facebook group or direct messages – all without any financial obligations.Remember, taking these small steps now can lead to measurable and significant changes in your fitness journey.

    Embracing Humility in Coaching and Healthcare | CWDA035

    Embracing Humility in Coaching and Healthcare | CWDA035

    In the this episode of Convos w/ Dr. Andy, we explore the essence of coaching and healthcare, focusing our conversation on authenticity and collaboration. Our discussion began with an emphasis on the importance of genuine care and the need for proper attribution within the health and wellness industry.

    I underscored the significance of connecting with patients on a deeper level, focusing on assisting them in reaching their goals rather than just presenting information.

    As the conversation progressed, I shared my observations about the journey of coaches, particularly Dr. Andrew, who moved from mimicking a mentor's style to finding his own voice and confidence in coaching. This transition, I noted, was significant even as Andy's CrossFit certifications expired, highlighting the lasting value of the skills and knowledge acquired.

    The topic of credibility in coaching was also a focal point, with Andy sharing their approach to integrating personal experience and research to effectively address client challenges.

    The latter part of our discussion shifted towards the crucial roles of trust and humility in our profession. I shared anecdotes about referrals and the importance of recognizing our limitations, especially when it comes to offering medical advice.

    Dr. Andy and I agreed on the vital need for humility in leadership, citing instances where acknowledging one's lack of knowledge can actually build trust with clients and colleagues. We also tackled the issue of ego in the chiropractic field, with Andy acknowledging its presence but also stressing the importance of humility and giving credit where due.

    To conclude, we contrasted those individuals in our field who aim to uplift others against those driven by ego, using examples from CrossFit and martial arts to illustrate these splitting paths and their impact on personal and professional growth.

    Holiday Harmony: Balancing Health and Celebration | TeamChat009

    Holiday Harmony: Balancing Health and Celebration | TeamChat009

    In this episode of Team Chats with Brett Owens and myself, I want to emphasize the importance of maintaining our fitness and nutrition goals even during the holiday season. It's all too easy to get sidetracked during this time of year, but staying on track is vital. I talk about the need to prioritize your health objectives without going to extremes and instead maintaining a healthy balance.

    I also discuss the significance of nutrition, particularly when we're at holiday gatherings or eating out. I advise prioritizing protein, leafy greens, and veggies while being mindful of hidden calories from sugary drinks and unhealthy cooking methods.

    Another key point I make is about finding the right balance between our health goals and indulging in holiday treats. It's crucial to set boundaries and focus on enjoying the company of loved ones instead of obsessing over food choices.

    Throughout the talk, we stress that it's perfectly okay to indulge on special occasions as long as our choices align with our personal goals and values.


    The holiday season can be a time of celebration without guilt, and it's all about making thoughtful decisions to stay on the right track while enjoying the festivities.

    In our 34th episode of Convos w/ Dr. Andy, we talk about the ongoing dilemma surrounding the role of routine and progress in the context of fitness and health.While Dr. Andy leans towards the belief that routine can be a hindrance to progress, I firmly hold the view that routine plays a crucial role in automating daily tasks and providing stability in our lives, helping us steer clear of existential crises.
