We talk about things for him to consider in order to lose weight, including but not limited to a discussion around exercise, nutrition, things to consider eating and not eating, the perils of seeking instant gratification (it is a marathon, not a sprint), sleep, consistency, planning and time management, and many other topics.

On today’s episode, we discuss what I call the “Tomorrow Syndrome”, which is exactly what it sounds like. How we tell ourselves that we will do something tomorrow related to our health or otherwise, but then tomorrow comes and we don’t do it. We then rationalize that it is ok, thinking “I’ll do it tomorrow!”. However, tomorrow often never comes. On this podcast, we discuss this and how to deal with it. We also discuss accountability, creating goals/streaks to hit, some foods we try and get into our bodies most days, supplements, the new covid vaccine, a discussion around heart rate training, and some other topics.
On this episode, we discuss movement and ways to make yourself accountable to moving when not exercising. Go to the Apple App store or the Google Play Store and download the JVB Health & Wellness app and go to the Movement Consistency tab to see a fully automated summary of your daily movement, sleep, exercise, and more. Check this page throughout the day and shoot to have 300 steps or more most hours you are awake! Goal is 300 steps an hour, which only takes 3-5 minutes per hour to achieve. Shoot to minimize the number of hours a day you have less than 300 steps (goal is 6 or less “RED” hours a day, or in other words, 6 hours or less when awake when you DO NOT have 300 steps or more).
On this podcast, we discuss nutrition, ingredients, vitamin supplements, finding a parking space (and the stress of it), blood work, food allergies, and other topics. This episode was recorded on September 22, 2020

Flu vaccine… views from the group about whether one should get a flu shot; the overwhelming consensus on the call was YES, get a flu vaccine if your doctor recommends it, as it is a huge benefit to society as a whole, helping to keep people out of the hospital, something super important given some people with COVID will need a hospital bed
