Description

In this episode, we explore why so many people get stuck in their fitness journey and fail to see the progress they want. While training and nutrition matter, the real barrier is often mental. From falling for pseudoscience to holding yourself back with perfectionism, the way you think can either fuel your transformation or stop it before it starts. We break down common logical fallacies, why “ready” is a myth, and how identity drives behavior more than motivation ever could.


We talk about:

-Common logical fallacies that sabotage progress

-Why waiting until you’re “ready” is a trap

-How to spot pseudoscience and fitness fads

-The role of honest coaching versus empty promises

-How your identity shapes your habits and behavior

-Why the perfect plan doesn’t exist (and what to do instead)

-The dangers of all-or-nothing thinking

-How confirmation bias and appeal to authority influence decisions
