Listen To Episode 131 As Drew Uncovers: The experience of growing up with 10 siblings and how this impacted his health and fitness Why he decided to gain over 70 lbs to better understand his client's struggles The emotional hardships of putting on excess weight How stress can impact our lifestyle and wellness Why developing mental and emotional fitness will help us overcome physical challenges The power of owning our story and being vulnerable How to navigate the feelings of stress and overwhelm The importance of having a daily gratitude practice How to cross the chasm between where we are and where we want to be Ways to draw on support from our friends, family, and community How to use meditation for overcoming decision fatigue Why the industry is so focused on the Ketogenic diet How to make a smooth transition into Ketosis and avoid the "Keto Flu" Top 3 Takeaways From The Episode We develop certain eating habits as children that can stay with us as we age. Although it's difficult to break the cycle of unhealthy eating, we can learn to enjoy fueling our body in a more nutritious way. Begin to focus on all of the benefits that come from living a healthy and energetic lifestyle. Keeping those thoughts front of mind will help us make better choices with our nutrition. Developing more discipline will have a massive impact on what we accomplish in our lifetime. We can begin doing this with small actionable steps every day. Studies have shown that simply making our bed each morning causes us to be 4-5 times more likely to achieve other daily goals. Start by taking 1 simple action in any area of life where you want to progress. This will build the momentum necessary for massive improvement. The first step to a successful Ketogenic diet is giving the body time to adapt to that style of eating. This transition into Ketosis can generally take between 30-60 days. Once the body is used to running on ketones, we can begin experimenting with the different amounts and types of carbs we consume to help us discover what is optimal for our unique body.
