Changing one Thing at a Time

I think the biggest thing is just like you said, the education, like what you just said, the education side of it, talking them through it, coming up with, you know, a plan together, and also realizing that if you tried to go change a ton of variables at one time, it's gonna be really hard to see what's working and what's not. So that's one thing that I do like with my coaching clients, whether it's one on one, or in the group coaching, it's all about, first of all, meeting you where you're at, and seeing kind of an overhaul of like, okay, what is your, what is your nutrition look like? What is your training look like? What is your overall movement throughout the day look like? What are your stress levels? What do you How much are you sleeping? How are you feeling? What are your hunger levels, like all of these things, these biofeedback metrics, we call them, right, we're taking kind of an overview of that, and looking at that, and then we're saying, Okay, here's where things are at, you know, tracking things, I'm a big data nerd, I think, you know, the same, what gets measured gets managed is very, very true, especially when it comes to these types of things.

If you're just kind of, you know, going about it, and you're not taking notes of anything, you don't have any way of tracking the data, it's going to be really, really hard to see, again, first of all, where you're at, but then also, when you when you do start to implement different things, what's actually working, if you have no data, if you have no strategy or structure behind that, it's, it's gonna be super frustrating. And you're gonna feel like you're spinning your wheels, honestly. So I think the biggest thing is, you know, making sure that we have the objective data, because that's where it comes back to the psychological side of things. If people can start to see objectively like on paper, so to speak, the numbers changing and the things changing from, like a data standpoint, even if they're not, it's not caught up subjectively, if they're still in that psychological, like, hardship, right?

Once you start to see things actually changed from a data perspective, it, it's like, you can't that doesn't lie, right? The data doesn't lie, as long as you know how to interpret it correctly. Right. So I think that's the biggest thing that I work with, with my clients is teaching them how to gather this data, from a standpoint that you know, it can fit into their lifestyle, it's not like, Oh, you have to, you know, overhaul everything and track every little thing, like throughout your whole day for the rest of your life, like not saying that, but there are systems and structures in place that can help you to see the things that are objective, versus, you know, trying to implement, you know, trying to implement changes from a standpoint where it's just, you know, how you're feeling or subjectively, because there's so many things that can skew that right.

So I think that's the biggest thing that I use is the objective data and the objective metrics because it takes out all of the noise, and you literally just see, okay, this is what's happening. And, you know, if we're starting to implement carbohydrates, for example, if they're coming off of keto, and we're a month or two in and they start to see that scale trend down, they start to see those body tape measurements trend down, they start to see their sleep get a little bit better. Maybe their cravings are actually coming a little bit under control as they're implementing more whole food, carbs. Those are the things that that we can see. And that's what really kind of has that buy in.
