Being Simple

*The title of this post was taken from the Judybats song of the same name* I have a client who I will refer to as Jane. When we did our initial consultation, Jane requested that she not know or see what her scale weight was. Historically, I have not seen great results occur when clients […]

Jackie

*The title of this post was taken from the Placebo song of the same name* I will never be able to overstate this: If you want to be successful at weight loss and ultimately, weight maintenance, it will not come by accident. You are going to have to plan the majority of this. That can […]

*The title of this post was taken from the LL Cool J song of the same name* There is a frustrating dynamic that has been occurring in the health/fitness industry for decades.

My oldest son, Jackson, was in the middle of a series of tests to diagnose some challenges he was having verbally and behaviorally. Those tests […]

One Step Closer

*The title of this post was taken from the Linkin Park song of the same name* A while back I was reading an article from a coach in my industry who I look up to and he was discussing his path towards learning to play guitar. I’ll paraphrase the article but this coach researched different […]

Why Don’t You Read The Book?

*The title of this post was taken from the Nazareth song of the same name* The goal this year was to read one book a week. I got a little carried away and overcompensated in some places. Roughly a third of these books are directly related to my industry and work here at the studio […]
