Today’s podcast covers aspects of selfcare that we need to do to help accelerate fat loss.

We know that doing these things will give us better results and yet we just don’t do it.

Instead we seem to sabotage ourselves. We might do it for a bit and then BOOM - we fall off the wagon and feel crap about ourselves.

In this podcast we help you understand how to avoid self-sabotage, how to actually do the things you know are going to help you and actually enjoy the process at the same time with tactical strategies to get you there!
