THE FYX 058: The Not-So-Sexy Essentials to Weight Loss with Sinan Ozyemisci

Sinan Ozyemisci is the Coach Liaison for Stronger U, a personalized nutrition coaching program built around you and your specific needs. As a former SU client myself, I can personally attest that this coaching program WORKS--and is one of the best, no-bullshit programs on the market. The SU team is near and dear to The Fitness FYX because it truly inspired the work I do today inside of my own coaching. Sinan holds Masters Degrees in both Applied Clinical Nutrition and Nutritional Sciences--and is a soon-to-be registered dietitian.

In this episode, we discuss motivational interviewing [Sinan's thesis topic] and the role it plays in the coaching space, as well as the power in building both habits and flexible routines. The key word here is flexible: Sinan details his own morning routine to highlight how it has shifted as his schedule has continued to evolve between work and school responsibilities over the last two years.

We also chat about:
- Assessing someone's readiness to change
- Decision-making as a two-way street vs. a coach constantly dictating what a client should do
- How to stay fit while traveling, especially when access to weights and equipment is limited
- The not-so-sexy stuff: good sleep, getting enough protein, and getting your steps in
- How to reframe your mindset: moving away from an all-or-nothing attitude and stepping into the power of grace and flexibility
