And six months from now? You’ll be living in the body, mindset, and life that you’re building today. In this episode, we dive deep into the battle between Present You — who wants comfort now — and Future You — who wants progress. We’ll talk about why short-term choices keep winning, how broken promises destroy your self-trust, and what you can do to rebuild it. You’ll hear the internal tug-of-war between Present You and Future You, explore the painful “what if” worst-case scenario, and get a 7-Day Trust Rebuild Challenge to start shifting momentum immediately. If you’ve ever felt stuck, frustrated, or doubted that you can change — this episode is your wake-up call.

In this episode, I’m laying down a hard truth: if you want to change your body, your mindset, and your life, you’ve got to start doing the things you don’t want to do. I’ll explain why resistance is actually a green light, not a stop sign — and then I’ll run you through 100 quick-fire examples of the little choices people dodge every day that keep them stuck. From skipping check-ins with your coach to choosing Ben & Jerry’s over Halo Top, these are the moments that make or break your results. Listen in, get the wake-up call, and start leaning into the hard stuff. Because comfort keeps you the same… discomfort changes everything.

I’ll also share my own recent results — how they compare to my scan seven years ago, what the numbers really mean, and why the bigger picture of health is more important than any single measurement. If you’ve ever wondered whether a DEXA scan is the “gold standard” for tracking fat loss and muscle gain, or just another expensive gimmick, this episode will give you the clarity you need. Tune in to learn: • What a DEXA scan actually tells you (and what it doesn’t) • The upsides and downsides most people don’t consider • Why some results can be misleading without context • My personal scan results — and what I’ve learned from them • Whether it’s something you should invest in on your own journey This one’s a mix of science, real talk, and personal experience — perfect if you’re serious about understanding your body beyond just the bathroom scale.
