The Been-There-Tried-That Nutrition Fix

Learn how to eat and live well for a long time.  

Not a diet. Not a meal plan. Just real people eating real food... and enjoying the things we love too!

How is this different than other diets and nutrition programs?

Any good program gives you information and a guide.

But if you want to make a sustainable change, you need to understand how food works in your own body (not just blindly follow a cookie-cutter plan), manage your mindset, and get the support and accountability along the way. 

Nutrition + Body Awareness

Eating healthy is not about following a certain meal plan or going “on and off” diets because that is not sustainable.

It is not about counting calories because it’s darn near impossible to do that accurately.

Eating healthy is about being aware of what you are eating, how you are feeling, and making conscious choices repeatedly.

People who develop a healthy relationship with their bodies, food, and fitness have built the skills - through practice - that allow them to be mindful, pay attention to their emotions, and tune into their body’s signals.

The skill of “listening to your body and learning what works for you” — is just that, a skill. And, with practice, can be developed and improved upon.

As Benjamin Franklin said, “there are three things extremely hard: steel, a diamond, and to know one’s self.”

Extremes such as meal plans and restrictive diets and cheat days take the thinking out of the game. And they fail because they are not sustainable.

Being mindful of what you eat and how you feel take practice and requires you to actively make a choice.

The more you understand your body and the food that fuels it – eating well and moving more does begin to become automated.

Mindset

Just like you train your body, you must train your mind.

“No amount of knowledge will ever make up for a lack of perspective.”

Your perspective is what creates your experiences.

If you get all the knowledge but are not shifting your perspective, thoughts and beliefs, you are just sitting on a pile of books.

Our brain is our most valuable asset. For one, without it, we die. But for two, growing and managing your mind influences all other assets.

When you think about assets, you might think about things of value that you own… your house, car, jewelry, etc. 

The definition of asset is: 

“A useful or valuable thing, person, or quality.“

So, if our brain is our most valuable asset, what are some other assets we have as human beings?

Well, our health would be a valuable asset. Once again, without it, we die or suffer in this life. 

Time is an asset. More time means you can do more of the things that make you happy and that matter in this world.

Money, is of course an asset. And the more valuable you can make your brain (gaining knowledge) and the more time you have, the more money you have the potential to make. 

Your relationships with other people and the legacy you leave behind are two other assets...

It all comes back to your brain - and you understanding the value of it and the power you have to grow it.

When we understand our brain we are able to change our thoughts, feelings and actions.

This course is about knowledge and using that knowledge for the better.

One of the most amazing things that we are able to do as humans with high-functioning brains is create goals and plan ahead.

Yet so many of us interfere with our own goals.

We get in our own way.

We procrastinate and put off our goals because we are afraid to fail. 

We seek false-pleasures (over-eating, overspending, etc.) instead of doing the hard work needed to achieve our goals. 

We quit because we are not seeing results right away!

NOTE: Quitting will not get you results any quicker. ;)

And what tends to happen is that we find ourselves in a self-sabotage spiral…

We focus on the failures of the past and either tell ourselves that we will fail before we even try OR we don’t even set a goal because we don’t want to be disappointed. 

The work you will do in this course puts you in the driver’s seat.

You have control over your thoughts, feelings, and actions.

You, and only you, have the power to break through limiting beliefs. And you have the power to choose to live a life in which you are not overly obsessed with food but eat a generally healthy diet, and are happy and content with your body.
