Calculating Macros, Peri-Workout Nutrition, Macro Ratios, & More! Your Nutrition Questions Answered! | PD Podcast Ep.158

We often see people training really hard in the gym, but who are lost when managing their nutrition. Training can be very simple and dialed in, but the nutrition aspect can be very daunting due to the misinformation and misclassification of foods marketed to us.

Today, we are diving into nutrition, including how you can calculate your macros, if you should avoid carbs, how nutrition affects muscle growth, and so much more! If you have been crushing your training, but struggling with hitting your physique goals—this may be the episode for you!

As always, it is our goal not only to supply you, the listener, with valuable insights on the topics or questions but also to plant some seeds for further research and thought. Be sure to like and subscribe and leave us a review if you loved this episode!

How Self-Limiting Beliefs Are Keeping You From Reaching Your Goals (& how to overcome them) | PD Podcast Ep.142

How Self-Limiting Beliefs Are Keeping You From Reaching Your Goals (& how to overcome them) | PD Podcast Ep.142

Most people have self-limiting beliefs that they are not good enough or worthy enough for something (or someone). This causes them to act according to this belief system. The American Society of Training and Development (ASTD) did a study on accountability for people trying to reach a goal.


Here's what they found:

The probability of you completing a goal IF:

-You have an idea of wanting to lose weight: 10%

-You consciously decide or declare you will do it: 25%

-You decide WHEN you will do it: 40%

-You plan HOW you will do it: 50%

-You commit to someone you will do it: 65%

-You commit financially that you will do it and have specific accountability appointments with the person or coach you committed to: 95%


What's a self-limiting belief you have? Do you tell yourself you aren't cut out for it? Like you can't be good enough? It's important to distinguish between something that is important vs something that is essential to you. Self-sabotaging happens when there's a mismatch between our values and our behavior.

Listen in as Sue and Alex discuss how your self-limiting beliefs could be holding you back from your goals, common struggles or objections when looking for an online coach, and how to vet coaches so you find the best coach for YOU.

(24:04) The BEST way to ensure you complete a goal (based on research)

(27:25) Common struggles or objections when looking to start with an online coach (& how to better vet them)

(27:46) "I'm struggling to trust in what the coach prescribes"

(38:19) "The coach's physique is not how I would like it to look"

(43:04) "I've worked with other coaches and not seen the results I wanted... why would this be any different?"

(48:17) "I'm afraid that my coach won't actually help me to reach the goals I've set"

Deloads: What They Are, When To Take Them, & Why They're So Important | PD Podcast Ep.114

Deloads: What They Are, When To Take Them, & Why They're So Important | PD Podcast Ep.114

Deloads are essential for continuing to make progress in the gym. When we program deloads for our clients, we explain that you have to deload before you can reload. Sometimes it's taking a week off from the gym, sometimes it's bringing back training volume or frequency. Do you need a deload? Or maybe you actually don't need a deload... Let's dive in and find out!

As always, it is our goal not only to supply you, the listener, with valuable insights on the topics or questions but also to plant some seeds for further research and thought. Without further ado, let's get into today's episode.
