KNP172 - Stopping The Self-Sabotage Cycle With Marci Neven
On today's episode I was joined by my good friend Marci Neven. We talked a lot about self sabotage which I really enjoyed. Marci is a fitness and nutrition coach in Northern California. Having struggled with disordered eating and over exercising in her twenties that resulted in health issues and developing an autoimmune disease, her purpose is to empower women to take a holistic approach to their health and fitness. Marci believes daily spiritual practices, stress management, proper nutrition and purposeful strength training, are the foundation of lasting change. She's passionate about sharing the tools she's used to overcome her own struggles to help others rewrite the stories that no longer serve them and start becoming their most aligned and fulfilled selves.

On today's episode, I was joined my friend and client, Natalie Clay. Natalie is a certified life coach through a life coaching school that works mainly with married couples. We talked a lot about how to make health goals that work within a marriage as well as a ton on mindset around food, fitness and life.

After living and working in New York City for almost 15-years, Natalie moved to Salt Lake City where she lives with her husband and 5 kids. Natalie is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and understands that many people don't view divorce as an easy decision.

KNP169 - 3 Fitness Hacks To Get Better Results
On today's show we talked about 3 hacks that we feel not enough people are talking about. #1)Toxic relationships and people are devastating to a fitness transformation. Not only just from a horrible emotional point of view, but wreck havoc on your physical body as well. Most don't realize how inflamed one gets when having these people in your life. Stress hormones go through the roof. The harmful wear and tear take a considerable toll on literally every cell of your body. #2) We talked about gratitude. When it comes to fat burners or any aesthetically driven supplements, people spend far too much money on this crap. We talked about taking the money you would spend on a fat burner and buying a gratitude journal instead. You want to really win the game? Invest that money in bettering your soul and spirit. #3) Last item was time blocking. Time blocking is one of the most underused hacks to really hit your fitness goals. This habit will help you not only in your fitness, but your life.

KNP164 - Circadian Rhythm and Fat Loss
On todays show, Michelle and I discussed circadian rhythm and how it affects fat loss. Packed full of so much information on how to optimize yours, what you're missing out by not doing it, and ways to identify if you even have a disturbed circadian rhythm. Here are the sleep questions referenced in the podcast: Do you need an alarm clock Does it take you a while to get out of bed Do you need caffeine to get going Do you feel like you need a nap after lunch Good amount of energy to go to the gym - noonish, 5ish o'clock Do you fall asleep as soon as they hit the pillow Sleep all night Spend 7 hours in bed Here are the hacks to circadian rhythm mentioned in the podcast as well: Get sunlight or bright light for 30 minutes within the first 30 minutes to an hour after waking up. Black-out the bedroom using black out drapes so you have complete darkness in the bedroom during sleep. Cover up any type of lights in the room with electrical tape. Wear blue and green blocking glasses for at least one hour before bed. Choose glasses that wrap around the eyes. Turn off all electronics in or near the bed during sleep and or even better just get them out of the bedroom! Go to bed at the same time every night and wake up at the same time each morning. Use a breathing exercise, meditation, or visualization process to help initiate sleep, or use a progressive muscle relaxation technique before bedtime. Use magnesium malate before bed at the dose of 400-500 mg. Get rid of any afternoon or evening caffeine or alcohol. When it comes to caffeine, do not drink any after 2 pm, but ideally it should be cut off before noon. 9. Finish any last bites of food for the day at least 3 hours before sleep. Use a pink or white noise app while sleeping, and then place the phone or tablet in airplane mode, with the goal of covering up any non-monotonous external noise during sleep. Purchase red or amber colored bulbs for the bedroom and bathroom and use them at night or within 1-2 hours before bed. Or invest in a small lamp for the bathroom with the previous bulbs installed. Decrease the bedroom temperature during sleep and start cooling the house down 1-2 hours before bed. Or be a gangster and invest in a Chilipad, Ooler system or a Bedjet. Use a sauna or take a hot shower or bath 60-90 minutes before sleep and then allow the body to cool off by several degrees in the cooler air of the bathroom or home, almost to the point of getting goosebumps, before finally drying off. Ideally the goal is do so and allow the body to get very cold and even shiver a bit before getting under the covers. Set a timer, somewhere in the house to go off 1 hour before bedtime and commit to stop whatever you are doing to then begin your bedtime wind-down ritual.
