Episode Description from the Publisher

In this episode, we tackle the overwhelming amount of fitness and nutrition information coming at us from social media and break down how to separate evidence from nonsense. We mythbust some of the most common claims, talk about the importance of putting information into context, and explain why a claim should be backed by evidence before you change your behavior. This conversation is about thinking critically, addressing the fears that keep you stuck, and focusing on what actually works instead of chasing the latest “shocking” health claim.We talk about:-analysis paralysis & information overload-taking things out of context -addressing your fear-based marketing-NEAT and BMR-thin doesn’t equal healthy-do you need thyroid medication?Time Stamps: 0:00 Introduction3:20 dieting would probably improve most people’s lives12:05 evidence has to support a claim15:01 cortisol, hormones, and starvation mode28:35 changing your maintenance calories30:10 your body size matters37:00 how your hormones change44:29 “shocking” your body48:55 the impacts of insulin54:43 should you fast if you’re over 40?CONNECT WITH KAIT & MAV:Get 1:1 coaching here: https://use.elev8coaching.net/cP72IzBGet our weekly emails: https://go.maverickonlinecoaching.net/mailing-list4 Phases Ebook: https://go.maverickonlinecoaching.net/body-transformation-ebook Hosted on Acast.
