Had my guy - Erik Underwood - back on the pod for this episode. I think this is our 6th podcast together now? Too many to count hah topics discussed on this episode:

-Revisiting New Year's Resolutions - what gets in the way of people achieving them?

-Things we want people to do before goal setting.

-How to set expectations and be honest with ourselves.

-Writing/marketing being mistaken for good advice on social media.

-Myths being sold this time of the year that people should be aware of.

-Reflecting on adversity we've dealt with this past year + how we've gotten through it.

-This or that..? Cold plunge vs sauna, mobility work, tracking vs non-tracking, reading vs listening.

+ so much more in-between.

This was a long but super fun episode - I know you'll enjoy it.

If fat loss is one of your goals come 2025 (or at any point in your life) - keep these 10 things in mind.

Remember, losing weight is only half the battle.

What you do after that is just as important. Adopt these mindsets/habits and you'll be able to keep that s*** off forever.
