Brian Grasso & Carrie Campbell: How 1 Simple Daily Practice Transforms the Way You Think
I recently chatted with a performance coach to billionaires, professional athletes, and A-list celebrities. I asked him, “If there’s one question that always works when you’re coaching clients, what is it?” He said the answer was easy. He simply asks, “How’s your relationship?” Whether you’re a celebrity or an average Joe, the answer isn’t always pretty. Too often, when one person in a relationship decides to eat better, get fit, quit drinking, or make any other life changes, the other person tears them down. When you transform your body and your life, sometimes it feels like you’re going at it alone. Maybe you noticed your drinking buddies aren’t quite as fun when you’re sober. Change is threatening, and as humans, we’re wired for negativity. On today’s show with my friends Brian and Carrie, you’ll learn a simple daily practice to transform the way you think.

Dr. Amy Myers: The Thyroid Connection, Leaky Gut & How To Choose Your Vices
Have you ever had a leaky roof? In college, I lived in an apartment that should have been condemned. During a storm one day, the roof sprung an enormous leak. Then the wall next to my bedroom just opened up, and I watched black mold spill out everywhere. At the time, I had been virtually bedridden for over a month with symptoms my doctor couldn’t explain. Brain fog, low body temperature, and severe fatigue made it hard to do anything. I didn’t even want to play music anymore. When you get sidelined by illness, your life can go into a tailspin. Dr. Amy Myers is back on Fat-Burning Man this week to make sure your thyroid, hormones, and lifestyle give you the energy and vitality you deserve.

At their gym right here in Texas, Grit Fitness, they created recess for grownups—an obstacle course training program that brings people together for health, fun, and dessert!
