When embarking on a nutrition journey, knowing where you stand and where you start is key. In this episode, I break down the levels of the "nutrition pyramid" that will help you progress step by step. These steps are taken gradually and when the individual is ready.   Remember, it is not about anyone else; it is about where you are in your journey, where you want to go, and how you plan to get there. Only then, will you succeed for life.      Visit The Optimal You Online for more information!   The Optimal You is an Influencer Audio production.

So you're doing great crushing those fitness and nutrition goals. You go out to a bar with some friends, and you see one of them slamming down nachos.

Training and exercise can be very infectious (no pun intended) once started. There is this immediacy that kicks in that makes us want to grind 110% everyday. Although this seems like a good idea at first, this mentality is a quick path towards failure.   Knowing how to determine proper training frequency and training split is essential to training hard while recovering and making consistent progress. It is not a surprise that those who train hard, also train smart. Let's make you that kind of person!     Visit The Optimal You Online for more information!   The Optimal You is an Influencer Audio production.

One of the biggest mistakes many people make when beginning a training routine is focusing solely on the session. If you train 1 hour a day for 5 days, that's 5/168 hours in the week. That is 3%. That means, there is 97% left outside of the training session. Train as hard as you want. If you don't recover, you're wasting 97% of your time.   Visit The Optimal You Online for more information!   The Optimal You is an Influencer Audio production.
