The Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show with Ben Brown

What if our ability to grow, personally, professionally, and emotionally was limited by pre-programmed beliefs from our childhood, from our society, and from a lifetime of conforming to who we think we should be rather than who we could be?   What if we could de-program our belief systems so that we could start to embrace a life without limits?   That’s what we’re discussing on this episode of the Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show   The story you're telling yourself right now about who you are...is a LIE….   At least that’s what today’s guest, Tyler Wall has to say about the version of your life that exists as you are, right now.   Tyler, and his business, contrast by design, helps you not only bridge the gap to where you can be, but also knock down the walls that have been keeping you stuck so you can truly experience the infinite world all around you.   In this conversation, Tyler and I discuss our backgrounds in Strength and conditioning, nutrition coaching, searching out mentors, and the desire to embrace discomfort as a necessity in our lives to stimulate growth.   We discuss the programming of our belief systems and how to open the door for personal and professional growth by learning to question those potentially limiting beliefs.   Tyler is a multi-passionate entrepreneur who is curious about all things related to human beings and empowerment - be it physical development and abilities or mental models and different avenues of psychology.     Tyler has an extensive background and an array of certifications in NLP, hypnotherapy, strength and conditioning, and sports rehab. He's on a mission to help people uncover the facets of their lives and minds that are holding them back, and step into the absolute best version of themselves in their business and life.   This was hands down one of the most enlightening conversations I’ve had on the show and am confident that you’ll enjoy.

Each of us has an internal alarm clock called The Circadian Cycle. This “clock” like biochemical mechanism relies on light, hormones, and energy input and output to function 24 hours a day. What we don’t realize is that the regulation of this circadian rhythm not only determines our sleep quality and quantity, but also significantly influences our hormone production, blood sugar regulation, brain and joint recovery and repair, our ability to burn fat and build muscle, ability to manage hunger and carvings, mood, cognitive function, immune system health, and the list goes on and on… In a world of quick fix, magic bullet mentality, if there truly was a secret to how to live a longer, more energetic, and leaner life, it would be to optimize your sleep.

It’s not uncommon for us to use calorie-tracking apps as a means to collect data around our calorie and macronutrient intake, how to factor in our movement, our sleep, and help us create more awareness around our existing nutrition and lifestyle behaviors. It’s no secret that we’re huge fans of this data collection process in our Smart Nutrition Coaching Program to help our clients get great results. But, as with everything, the devils in the details, and if you aren’t aware of some of the inherent errors in this data collection process, you could easily find yourself spinning your wheels… In this episode I’ll break down 5 reasons why your calorie tracking apps can be deceptive and exactly what you should be looking for to ensure you’re not wasting your time. If this is your first episode, thanks for being here, and if you’ve been a long time listener, always great to have you back and I applaud you for caring enough about your health to take the time to learn… It’s the best and the only way for us to be in control of our health, set an example for our friends and family, and invariably help make the world a better, healthier place.

One of the things I enjoy the most about this podcast is having the opportunity to connect with other like minded professionals who have a strong passion for teaching other’s how to prioritize their health & fitness. Today I catch up with my friend Brian Pannuzzo, for an inspiring conversation about how he left a 20 year, seemingly successful, wall street career to instead coach other men in their health, marriage, mindset and relationships. You’ll hear right away that Brian and I are speaking the same language on so many levels as it relates to career and life priorities, how to lead by example for our family and our community, how to choose better without feeling the need to ever be perfect, and why it’s never too late to choose to make positive change in your life.
