027: The F-Words: Fear, Frustration, and Failure

So much in life is a matter of perspective.  Have you ever heard the phrase, “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure”?  Likewise, what I consider a gourmet meal you may consider to be junk that’s not fit to eat.  Our perspectives matter, and how satisfied, happy, and fulfilled we are in life is often determined by how we view our situation.  Three words that have incredible power over us are fear, frustration, and failure.  In today’s episode, I look at each of these “f-words” and perhaps I’ll even change how you view them.

025: A Dangerous Look at Diet & Fitness

Why is it that so many people kill themselves trying to follow expert advice on diet and fitness but they don’t get lasting results?  Why are serious health issues like obesity and diabetes skyrocketing?  Are we too lazy or lacking in willpower?  I don’t think so!  At a certain point, we really need to consider that the problem may be that the experts and their advice are wrong.  Like many of you I followed the experts yet I continued to gain weight and my exercise regimen was leaving me tired and prone to injury, so over the past few years I have done a lot of reading, research, and experimentation.  What I have found is that diet and fitness are really quite simple.  Personally, I believe that the so called experts overcomplicate things so they can make a buck by selling you their solution. In this episode, I talk about diet and fitness, and what has worked for me.  This is a big subject and there is really no way to do it justice in a single episode, so if I have oversimplified things then I apologize.  Nevertheless, it is an important subject for all of us because many of the health issues we see today in America are completely unnecessary!  So, if you are struggling with your weight, can’t stick with your exercise routine, or just want to get a little healthier, then don’t despair!  You can reach your goals and it isn’t that hard.
