Episode 47: Going Keto with John Gorman
Episode 47: Going Keto with John Gorman
Coach John Gorman takes over the Excellence Cartel today and leads our discussion on the benefits and drawbacks of a ketogenic diet as it applies to the general population and competitors.
Keto is often seen as a last ditch effort to get lean when all else has failed, but we encourage you all to rethink of keto as a tool to be applied temporarily when the situation fits, and to consider psychological and physiological aspects.
We also talk about our own experiences with keto and our experiences with our clients and what we've learned over the years.

Jason also admits that through his growth and work has come a level of self reflection, and he realizes now that the next challenge he'll need to tackle is finding the ability to enjoy the life he's built and achieve that elusive sense of balance all entrepreneurs search for.

Episode 42: Life After Macros with Laurin Conlin
Episode 42: Life After Macros with Laurin Conlin
IFBB Bikini Pro and Coach Laurin Conlin joins us today for an in-depth discussion on the psychology and physiology behind "feeding up" and fixing our clients' relationship with food.
Tracking macros has become a mainstay approach in the fitness world and beyond, but what happens when you don't have macros or can't track what's on the plate in front of you?
In this episode we discuss what it means to eat intuitively and more importantly, how we coach the development of intuition so our clients can feed themselves properly for life.
Living attached to your food scale, an app, or a meal plan is neither ideal nor sustainable for life. There comes a point where these tools must only play their role when needed and are no longer necessary for daily living.
