The N=1 element to being a coach and why we should and shouldn’t listen to research papers and meta analysis. I personally find this extremely interesting as I’ll be the first to admit its hard to know right from wrong from a supplementation perspective these days.

Why clients aren’t compliant and what you need to do. It doesn’t matter how good your methods are, if your client isn’t compliant, they’re not going to get results. We talk about what to do when this is the case and what you need to focus on as a coach.

We all know sleep is important, but how does it impact your ability to get results when looking to lose body fat. What’s the best method of tracking sleep and does feeling well rested in the morning necessarily mean you slept well?
