Looking for a step-by-step process to lose fat, and make it sustainable?  Wondering what the biggest mistakes and misconceptions are in fat loss? In this solocast, I reveal that the process is simpler than we think... That all fat loss is, is a 2-step process with 4 influential factors...

At age 26, my first-ever mentor and role model, Alvin Brown, was the ultimate representation of a man who had achieved true greatness in all areas of his life: family, business, health and fitness.  This live studio-recorded conversation with Alvin continues our Muscle Intelligence Podcast focus on the highest levels of human potential! Over a decade after I met him, Alvin remains an exemplar of character, integrity, and wisdom.  Alvin had a huge positive influence on me at a time in my life where I felt lost, and was unsure of even the first steps to take toward change. Alvin and I cover a lot of ground in this episode on what excellence and happiness truly mean, as well the pillars of mind-body-soul health!  If you’re striving for greatness in your own life, listen to gain wisdom about: The difference between perception and reality. How to create space between stimulus and response. Vulnerability, surrender, and letting go of control. Intentionally surrounding yourself with great people. What it takes to change your perception. Alvin is the CEO and founder of The Centre for Healing and Peak Performance in Ontario, Canada.  Alvin is a certified Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) Master Practitioner, a Registered Holistic Nutritionist, and holds a Diploma of Osteopathic Manual Practice.  Alvin and The Centre for Healing and Peak Performance emphasize health and excellence for the whole person — mind, body, and soul.
