The Super Human Life How to Win the Food Battle During the Holidays w/ Dr. Glenn Livingston | Ep. 315
In this powerful conversation, Coach Frank is joined once again by psychologist and bestselling author Dr. Glenn Livingston (Never Binge Again) to break down one of the biggest hidden challenges men face: staying in control around food — especially during the holidays.
They explore why so many disciplined, successful men lose control with their eating this time of year, and how to indulge without guilt, compromise, or spiraling into a "start again Monday" setback.
Dr. Livingston reveals simple rules, identity-based strategies, and mindset shifts that allow men to enjoy the holidays while maintaining discipline, confidence, and self-respect — without obsessing, restricting, or apologizing for their goals.

Key Takeaways
-
Boundaries prevent guilt. You can indulge — but you must decide when, where, and how much ahead of time.
-
Social pressure is real — but manageable. Redirect conversations instead of defending your choices.
-
Clear food rules = less stress. Discipline is easier when your brain isn't negotiating every decision.
-
Mindful eating changes the experience. Slow down, taste your food, and stay present at the table.
-
Put your phone away during meals. Connection increases fulfillment and reduces overeating.
-
Identity is the long-term lever. Eat according to the man you're becoming — not the impulse of the moment.
-
Aim for consistency, not perfection. Small wins build momentum — and momentum builds belief.
-
Visualize consequences. Think beyond the moment and feel future outcomes before you act.
-
Behavior drives emotion. Fix your patterns first, and the emotional attachment to food begins to dissolve.
-
New Year's resolutions must be specific. Vague motivation fades — concrete rules stick.
