In this episode, we discuss the relationship between exercise and sleep, and how this partnership is crucial to our health and longevity.
We delve into the findings of a new study that aimed to quantify the cost of suboptimal sleep and exercise pairings.
The study looked at self-reported exercise and sleep data from over 280,000 American adults and found that those who met both the recommended exercise and sleep guidelines had a 40% lower mortality risk.
We also explore the relationship between sleep duration, exercise behavior, and mortality risk, and provide insights into how to ensure we keep this helpful cycle going.

In this episode, we are going to show you how to lose your first 10 pounds of body fat.
In a world of crash diets, long cardio, and massive restriction, we are going to walk through a much more sustainable approach. And this approach will be solely focused on not just losing 10 pounds but losing 10 pounds of fat you can keep off.
By focusing on the right habits, you increase your sustainability, improving your body and health in the long term.
The problem is that most guides focus on extreme approaches for fast weight loss rather than helping you find an approach that you can stick with.
10 pounds of fat loss you can keep off is better than 10 pounds lost as fast as possible.
There will be zero quick fixes in this guide.
Just proven strategies that help you get lasting fat loss.

In this week's episode, the coaches talk about a study at Penn State University, where researchers asked 186 women—who they classified with “overweight” or “obesity”—to rank the “foods you can’t resist and find hard to stop eating.”
The foods that most frequently topped the participants’ lists:
1. Ice cream
2. Chips
3. Chocolate
4. Cookies
5. Pizza
The scientists then had participants follow a 12-month weight loss program, and monitored their strategies for managing these “problem” foods.
The result: Overall, the total avoidance of problematic foods—what you often see on “extreme” diets or “quick-fix” weight loss plans—wasn’t an effective strategy.
So what did help? Limiting the portion sizes of problem foods—instead of giving them up altogether—was strongly related to weight loss.
In fact, participants who used this strategy the most lost, on average, nearly double the weight as those who used it the least (15.8 pounds versus 8.3 pounds).
To be sure, if some foods make you feel out of control, you may want to put some boundaries around them. That doesn’t mean you can never eat them.
It just means you’re aware they may be a problem, and you’re going to be intentional about how and when you eat them. (A coach can help you with this.)
