#221 The One Mindset You Need to Change Your Life

It's been a tough week.

The theme of the last week (at least in my life) has been...people around me being frustrated at failure and feeling let down.

Frustrated that:

"I'm not 50 pounds lighter."

"My doctor forced me to do/have...."

"I couldn't work out because my ______ was sore."

"My kids were unruly."

"My anxiety was high."

I get it.

I've had similar variations of those things happen to me in the past, so I know exactly what you feel like.

I also know that:

1) You need to shift your mindset first and foremost and

2) You are a lot closer to the things that you want than you ever could have imagined

But, I'm not going to lie to you, in order for you to bridge that gap between you now and you successful in the future, is going to be challenging because you will need to change one fundamental mindset.

I've spent a lot of time observing people, and I've really become fascinated with what creates success vs. what keeps people from success, and I can honestly say that this one mindset is the pivotal key.

What we cover:

The one mindset that every successful person has, that you will absolutely need to adapt and build success.
The most important person you need to be applying this mindset towards and how to leverage it to it's maximum.
Why self-discovery is not some weird esoteric journey, it's doing the hard work and really getting to know yourself and your deepest and truest desires.
How to accept failure in a way that doesn't harm your self-esteem, instead it makes you a better person.
How to cultivate this behaviour at home so that your children can experience the same thing.

#219 Before Doing Anything Else, Start Here

I could never:

-Train like you

-Eat the way the way you do

-Have a morning power hour

-Complete my goals every 90 days

And on and on.

I hear this all the time. My response? "You are looking at the total of all my work over the last 7 years."

Heck, 7 years ago I would have never thought I would be here either.

You can do it if you're willing to do the work, be patient and love the process along the way.

But where do you start?

I won't pretend that there aren't many steps to Living By Design. There are, and it can be complicated.

That's why the focus of this episode is to help you dial in on the fundamentals of what you should start doing if you're confused on where and what to start with.

I've based my suggestions on the items that will make the most immediate impact on your life while taking the least amount of your effort. In other words - easy for you to do while giving you the most bang for your buck.

Things we covered:

Get checked already. I mean seriously what are you waiting for? No, this one is not #1 because I'm biased. Don't get me wrong I am biased, but nothing is more powerful with less effort than a scientifically applied force resulting in a chiropractic correction.
The most important 5 minutes that you will spend every day and how this meager 5 minutes will help literally slow down your next day, giving you more time.
The one meal you need to change first and the 3 things you should add to this meal.
The type of exercise you should add to your life that will change your current results in the gym for the better.

#218 Are Natural Products Better Products?

There is a big push away from big pharma but is the move towards "natural remedies" any better as a method of creating health?

One visit to the grocery or health food store and you'll see 1000's of products with the label "natural". Marketers know that savvy, health conscious shoppers are on the look out for this endorsement and they've leveraged this to the max!

The question still remains...is natural any better?

What we covered:

When is the right time for medical care?
The dangerous side effects of natural remedies.
Alternate approaches to getting and staying well.

#217 7 Signs You Need to Eat More Fat

Old habits die hard right?

I still find it shocking that despite the current and steady stream of consistent scientific evidence you are still scared to make fat a major part of your diet.

But on the other hand, I get it.

I mean, after all, fat has been vilified for so many years, by so many people that you respect (your teachers and your doctors) that it's hard to go against the low fat mantra.

I remember being in public school and our Phys Ed teacher brought in this disgusting yellow lumpy jelly and said: "This is hardened body fat. You will get this in your arteries and on the sides of your body from eating too much fat."

Talk about leaving a mark...that was almost 30 years ago and I still remember that event. So it's no wonder that most of us are completely fat phobic.

But, science (good science, and a lot of it) is proving time and time again that fat is NOT an enemy of health. On the contrary, fat is looking more like your health's best friend.

I'm not advocating eating as much fat as you want; especially the unhealthy kinds. But, I am saying that there is much more harm done to your body from avoiding fat, then there ever could be from including good fats in your diet.

I don't mean this to be a jerk, but the reality is your body requires fat. If you don't get it, there will consequences...potentially major ones.

On today's podcast, we cover the 7 Signs You Need To Add More Fat To Your Diet

What we cover

The science behind why you need to eat fat.
The seven signs (not diseases) that you are not eating enough fat.
The different kinds of fat, which ones to eat and which ones to avoid. HINT - DO NOT avoid saturated fat.
