Fact: Humans are social creatures. Also fact: Comparing your life to someone else's is a waste of time and energy. But it's not always easy to keep your eyes on your own green grass. Social media and technology have made it easier than ever to compare yourself to everyone else...and feel really shitty about it.

In this Fierce Love edition of Harder to Kill Radio, I'm doling out some tough love about the comparison trap...and how to avoid it in the first place. You'll walk away with tips to get clearer about what really matters to you and how to define your own success.

  • Simple ways to help ease more movement into your day
  • The effects our often sedentary lifestyles have on our bodies
  • Why you might want to rethink the way you sit
  • How to change the geometry of your household
  • Removing the shame from movement

 

Quotes

“I’ve always preferred to train in extremes, if that makes sense. I would not choose to lay around outside on a 110-degree day but I wouldn’t mind going for a hike or a walk, because once I get moving I find that cooling.” (8:57) 

“If you have a floor you have a built-in training program to maintain the capacity and the function of your knees, hips, ankles, and spines, it’s just that we never take it all the way.” (16:35) 

“It's not an aversion to comfort, it's simply trying to change the geometry of my household, it's really that simple. I want the places for my butt to rest to be different than the places that my butt has been resting for the past 40 years.” (34:07)

 When sugar rules your life, it can feel fucking miserable. I know because I've been there. Energy crashes, insatiable cravings, and late-night binge sessions gone awry were my normal. I couldn't wake up in the morning and needed a ton of sugar and caffeine to get through the day.

But it's easy to get confused. Do you have to go keto? Eat zero carb? Never eat dessert again? How can you break up with sugar when it's in everything?

In this Fierce Love edition of Harder to Kill Radio, I'm sharing my own personal story of how I slayed my sugar cravings, including tips you can implement today. Perfection isn't the answer. It does take resolve and discipline. But with the right approach, you'll make progress.

Quotes 

“The thing that we have found is that the more restrictive things are, the harder and more limiting it starts to feel. Even if people are good to go with eating a fairly limited diet, there is something that happens in their mindset around things that they can’t do.” (20:07) 

“We should work hard on ourselves, we should take good care of ourselves, and then we should let the wonderful experience of love and life happen and know that this is actually part of taking care of ourselves.” (25:41)

“The piece that we love watching and being a catalyst for is people coming into these adventures and experiences as one person and leaving as another. The sense of accomplishment and possibility they have for themselves after completing an adventure is just so beautiful.” (45:39)

Cellulite isn't unnatural, gross, ugly, or bad...we've just been convinced it is by marketers with something to sell. And summer's here...the time of year when women all over the world are staying covered up because they're afraid of making others uncomfortable with their cellulite, stretch marks, and size of their thighs. When is this madness going to stop?

Whether you feel like you can't take your tank top off and work out in a sports bra, you're wearing long pants at the gym, or are afraid to wear a two piece bathing suit, body shame hits an all-time high as soon as the thermometer does, too.

In this first-ever solo Fierce Love edition of Harder to Kill Radio, Steph breaks down why it's not your job to make others comfortable with your body by covering up. She also talks about the biggest confidence lie you keep getting hooked into, and how to feel more confident today.

Think back to when you were a kid and exercise was something that you enjoyed, that didn't feel restrictive or limiting. This is the nostalgia that Darryl Edwards hopes to evoke through his Primal Play methodology. Focusing on finding physical activities that people actually enjoy doing, his Primal Play methodology is for those of you who hate exercise, are looking to surprise yourself, or just want to try something new.

Darryl finds his joy in helping people find activities they enjoy that don't feel like exercise. He focuses on how you feel immediately, not the long-term results. The heavy and negative connotations some associate with exercise are non-existent in Primal Play, where play is used as the application of functional movement, but in unexpected and unpredictable ways. 

Through his methodology, Darryl helps people remember that playing gives you the ability to learn much more about yourself, all while getting faster, stronger and healthier. Rethink how to get back to basics with Darryl Edwards on today’s episode.

The rock star of nutritional health, Nina Teicholz, will be discussing how our views on fat may be wrong and why we may not be getting the whole truth about the science behind nutrition. In this episode, we will divulge the myths surrounding society's idea of health and wellness, and how to find out the truth about what you really should be eating.

Since the 1960’s, the way in which our nutrition has been institutionalized has had a cloaking effect on how we think about food. Most of us have not been told the truth about which foods our bodies truly need to thrive, and Nina is here to set the record straight.

About Nina Teicholz

Nina is an investigative science journalist and author of The Big Fat Surprise, an international bestseller. She has been working tirelessly for over a decade to challenge science, conventional wisdom and the status quo when it comes to our nutrition.

Through her book, Nina uncovers the truth behind dietary fat and seeks to find the truth behind the American nutritional system. Nina asks the hard questions about how is it that our society got everything about cholesterol and fat so wrong, and how we can begin to fix it.

 

In This Episode 

  • How our society’s policies do not line up with the actual science of food
  • Why some of the dietary studies we should all know about are buried
  • Did Eisenhower’s heart attack fuel the fire of diet bias?
  • The real truth behind saturated fats and low carb diets

 

Quotes

“The reason it took me so long is that all of these ideas are so counterintuitive that it took me a really long time to actually convince myself that I was onto something that could be true.” (4:29) 

“People don’t have an accurate description of what is going on in nutrition science because there has been an overwhelming bias towards diets low in saturated fat and high in grains and plants, and that bias has been around for 40 or 50 years now.” (21:11)  

“If you were a Ph.D. Nutrition scientist your career would be over if you wrote a book like mine” (36:15) 

“What is this attempt to attack low carb by all these experts? I think they are threatened by another model that is really, really, different from theirs, and is supported by evidence.” (43:45)
