"Probably the most practical and applicable episode we have had yet" - Aram.  You do not want to miss this episode which starts off with the current problem of our obsession with "optimal".  We discuss the reality of blending research and reality.  Research can say anything it wants to say.  It often studies a demographic that you don't fit, so it's not applicable to you.  If you ever feel stuck in the weeds with all the info that's coming out, DO NOT MISS!  We also (slightly) attack Andrew Huberman!!   Find Michael on IG:  @mike.ryan.white   Get recordings for the Real Coaches Summit 2023 at https://www.realcoachessummit2023.com/tickets/p/event-recordings   You can find us on Instagram: Aram: @4weeks2thebeach Jim: @jimmynutrition   Get some t-shirts/tanks/hoodies at:  https://www.othersidelifestyle.com/shop If you'd like to reach out to Aram, you can find him at: https://www.4weeks2thebeach.com/work-with-me If you'd like to reach out to Jim, you can find him at: https://www.othersidelifestyle.com/schedule Go get some supplements: www.legionathletics.com, use code: ARAM

Austin works with a wide range of people, and we explore the hormonal effects of birth control and how that varies individual to individual.  We talk about how a holistic approach and getting to the root cause is a pliable approach to healing.  Parents with daughters will want to listen in so they are a little more informed when it comes to the hormonal birth control decision.  We discuss the importance of finding joy again, rediscovering an old hobby, etc to reduce stress and how that can be a game changer for someone's progress towards reaching their goals.  At the end, we ask the question:  what are the benefits of slowing down?   Find Austin on IG:  @austinst8    Get recordings for the Real Coaches Summit 2023 at https://www.realcoachessummit2023.com/tickets/p/event-recordings   You can find us on Instagram: Aram: @4weeks2thebeach Jim: @jimmynutrition   Get some t-shirts/tanks/hoodies at:  https://www.othersidelifestyle.com/shop If you'd like to reach out to Aram, you can find him at: https://www.4weeks2thebeach.com/work-with-me If you'd like to reach out to Jim, you can find him at: https://www.othersidelifestyle.com/schedule Go get some supplements: www.legionathletics.com, use code: ARAM
