Here we dive deeply into the process and transformative benefits of well-being coaching for high performing guys. In my recent appearance on the “Defeating Can’t Podcast” hosted by Andy Bestwick, founder and CEO of The Spirit of CAN., we explore his experience as a driven entrepreneur, talented and experienced athlete with the process of performance coaching with me.
Throughout our discussion, we touch on the scientific bases of professional coaching, the harnessing of strength and values for the creation of goals that lead guys forward to their best, highest-performing and most fulfilled selves; in a word, toward truly thriving in life.
The start of each year tends to be the time when we all stop to contemplate our health, fitness, overall wellness and wellbeing. As humans, our drives and emotions are powerful messengers aiming to guide us toward thriving across the many domains of our complex lives. Unfortunately, we often hear these in our minds with the word “should”, or “have to” attached. And just like that, we lose sight of what we actually want and give everything over to something we “think we should want”. This year, will you be using the approach that guarantees progress toward the improved version of yourself that you want to be, or rather one of the many approaches you’ve used in the past which haven’t brought you the success you want?
Here, I’d invite you to consider an approach that explores what YOU want with 5 steps that guide you on the path to achieving whatever that is - knowing that you already have what you need to get there.
Your wellbeing is no doubt important to you. Physical health, fitness, nutrition, mindset, lifestyle and overall high-level performance in your demanding career - these are high priorities for you. Engage with these 5 steps to thriving and you’ll be on your way to happily living to your full potential.
Mounting evidence suggests that our reliance on ultra-processed foods (UPFs) is leading us down a dangerous path, one that may be costing us our health and longevity.
Our modern diets are often filled with ultra-processed foods, but this convenience comes at a high cost.
By making a conscious effort to reduce the percentage of our diet that comes from UPFs and increase our intake of whole, nutritious foods, we can take significant steps towards improving our health and well-being.
We all have a sense that highly-processed foods aren’t exactly healthy for us. BUT, did you know there is a classification of foods (really products) that are called Ultraprocessed Foods orUPFs?
Chances are you aren’t aware of what this specifically means and the types of additives that are included during processing.
In Part 1 of this 2 Part Blog, we’ll review what ultraprocessed foods are, the top 3 reasons why you eat ultraprocessed foods in the first place, the 4 keys to grocery shopping to minimized process food consumption and how ultraprocessed foods have become a part of our culture - from the Hawaiian perspective.
