#8: Healthy Living: Getting Started & Finding your Why

Ever struggled to find the motivation to begin a fitness journey? What if we told you that, with the right mindset, achievable goals and a supportive community, you can start and maintain an active lifestyle? Join us on an exciting journey to Chattanooga, Tennessee, where our co-host Kevin is participating in an Ironman race. We share our thoughts on the challenges of beginning a fitness regimen, especially for young women dealing with judgment and aggression. We highlight the importance of fostering a community to alleviate these concerns and provide a safer, more enjoyable experience.

As we unravel the conversation, we delve into the mechanics of setting goals that resonate with you personally, establishing a routine, and cultivating a balanced lifestyle. We emphasize the importance of self-acceptance, the avoidance of harmful comparisons, and the power of positive compounding. We also discuss the role of self-care and how it can fit seamlessly into even the busiest of routines. 

In the concluding part of our discussion, we explore the cornerstones of health: diet, nutrition, and adequate sleep. We unveil the benefits of whole food diets and reveal the profound impact of good food and sleep on achieving wellness goals. We also dive into endurance training, the role of mitochondria, glycogen, and fat in energy production, and the unbelievable endurance of elite marathon runners. Tune in for an episode filled with insightful tips and strategies that will motivate you, help you set achievable goals, and guide you towards a healthier lifestyle. Listen in, be inspired, and let's embark on this wellness journey together!
