Fit Factor Podcast: Recent Episodes
Nathan Redmon
Nathan Redmon is a Certified Health Coach and Certified Personal Trainer, and a former basketball coach with 20+ years experience. But 4 years ago, at age 46, he was someone who was becoming a statistic. In a routine physical he weighed in at 243lbs and was diagnosed as a Type 2 diabetic with high blood pressure. He made a decision to change, transformed his lifestyle and body, and ultimately saved his life. He’s not an “influencer” or life long fitness buff. He’s a regular guy who overcame a lifetime of poor choices. Now he’s devoted to helping people just like him do the same thing. Change is possible!
In the nutrition world, we talk a lot about "macros". We count calories, track carbs, fats, and proteins. But did you know that there's actually a 4th macro? It's true! And this macro is killing fat loss quicker than any other macro.

You've heard plenty of tips on how to successfully lose weight, but has anyone ever shared the best ways to fail? If not, this episode is for you. We're going to apply a concept called "inversion thinking" to our weight loss goals, and insure that we don't do the things that are contributing to our lack of progress.

One of the most common things I hear as a health coach is this: "I'm an emotional eater", or "I'm a stress eater". If I've heard it once, I've heard it a thousand times.
Today I'm bringing on my very first guest to Fit Factor, and I couldn't think of anyone I'd rather have than Jodee Gibson. Jodee is a human behavior expert & master NLP coach. She's the author of Healing Your Map, which is a blueprint on how to heal from emotional wounds of the past, wounds that far too often still dictate the decisions we make today. We're going to discuss exactly WHY people eat when they're emotional, and if they want to find a way to stop, Jodee is going to show you how.

The plant based diet is more than just a diet, it has become a movement. More and more people are moving in that direction, and I was one of them. Today I'm going to share my experience after almost 2 years of being vegan. The good, the bad, and everything I learned during that very unique season of my life.

We've all seen the commercial. Grandma has "fallen", and she "can't get up". But why did she fall? Why can't she get up? Was the fall avoidable? How about the injury? Was it avoidable? Short answer: YES.
Today we're discussing a very natural process of aging that weakens both bones and muscles. But there's good news! You can prevent being the grandma(or grandpa) that has fallen, but can't get up. Knowledge is power. I hope you take this new knowledge and put it to use.

For years and years we've heard "calories in, calories out". We've blamed carbs. We've blamed fat. We've blamed lack of exercise and low activity levels. And those are definitely all major players in the obesity epidemic. But there's one player that no one is talking about. Well, let's change that.....

There's no getting away from it... Strength training has numerous benefits, and it's undeniable that we should ALL be doing it regularly. But today we're going to whittle down the extensive list of benefits and talk about 5 biggies. I'm betting that at least a couple of these will make you think a little more about hitting them weights! At least that's my hope. There's absolutely NO downside, and the upside is potentially life changing.

Today's episode is a little bit different than my other episodes, and I'm going to share a story with you that I hope is encouraging. This is a chapter of my story, and one that I think many could duplicate if they wanted to.

The world of strength training is full of all sorts of myths and inaccuracies. Some have been around for many, many years, while some just sort of appear from time to time. Today we're going to hit on some myths that have been around for a very long time, but for some reason they still have legs. Today, we're chopping them off at the legs in hopes of helping some of our ladies overcome them, and see greater results in their own personal fitness journeys.

Supplements are a very important ingredient in a health program of any kind. There's always something that we can use to give us just a little bit of an edge. The question is this: which ones actually help, and which ones are junk. Well, we're not getting into the "which ones are junk" conversation today, but we are going to talk about 3 of my favorite supplements that I think offer the most bang for the buck. It was hard to narrow it down to 3. 2 of them are NO BRAINERS, and #3 had some stiff competition. But here we go.... And if you're looking for a place to get quality supplements, the link below to dotFIT nutrition is a great place to start.

Ok, ok.... Maybe not "dummies" ;) Macronutrients, aka "macros" are an important concept to grasp. Even a simple understanding of macros can make a big difference in being more precise in your health goals. So let's talk macros....

Protein is probably the most overlooked, yet most important of all the macronutrients. We can do without carbs, and we can go "low fat", but without protein, we don't exist. It's literally what makes us. We'll hit on numerous aspects of protein, and I'm betting there are some things that make you go "hmmmm, I didn't know that".

Every few years we see it.. The newest, diet to end all diets. And then people realize it's not all it was cracked up to be, and the cycle continues. Well, we have a new leader in the clubhouse and we need to talk about it.
As a Health Coach, I love helping people find health in a way that they didn't think was possible, but I also feel that I owe it to them to help them avoid some things that they may eventually regret. This is one of those times. I hope you get some value from the important podcast

In part 1 we discussed what insulin resistance is, and some ways to find out if you have it. Today is focused on prevention and recovery. If you're not insulin resistance, there are things you can do to insure that you don't become IR. And if you are, or suspect you may be insulin resistant, there are numerous things you can do to recover that don't involve any pharmaceutical help whatsoever. The body is an amazing machine and it knows how to heal itself when given the right ingredients.

I may never do a more important podcast, about a more important topic that this one. I've got nowhere left to go but down. LOL But this is a topic very near and dear to me, and it can't wait. We have to talk about what is one of the most serious conditions in America, insulin resistance.

For the past 3 years, not a day goes by that we don't hear some sort of plea to help save lives. But a new research study was recently released that identifies 1 key method that could save more lives than anything else we've heard about. And the best part is that we can all join in on this one without fear of any negative side effects.
Last week we discussed a few key reasons why dieting typically fails. We focused on some of the physiology aspects, but today we're talking more psychology and mindset. These are the real reasons that diets fail, and why losing and maintaining weight loss is so difficult. But fortunately, every single one of these issues is something that can be overcome.

We've all done it. Lost weight, then gained it back. It's very difficult to lose weight and keep it off, without some very important elements mixed into your process. Today, we're talking about a few physiological aspects of dieting. Knowledge isn't power, APPLIED knowledge is power. Today you get some knowledge. What you do with it, well that's up to you.

One of the biggest excuses for weight gain as we age is that our "metabolism slows down", as if we have no control over it. But after today, you'll know that isn't necessarily true. We DO have control over some very key elements of what causes the slow down. That's what this episode is about. I hope you enjoy it, and if you do, please share with some friends.
There's only 1 thing standing in between you and some really amazing accomplishments in your health and fitness. 1 thing......

Welcome to episode 1 of the Fit Factor podcast. If you knew me 5 years ago, but didn’t know about my recent health journey, you'd likely laugh at the idea of my having a podcast about fitness. But these past several years have been a radical change in my life, that include my health, my career, and ultimately my future. However, I'm nothing without my story. And in this kickoff of the Fit Factor, I want to lay some groundwork on why this podcast even exists. I'm not the only person with a health story. There are plenty of people like me, and many more who have done more. But I want to use my story to reach who refer to as "my people". I want to reach me 5 years ago. So that's what this episode and this podcast are about. Here we go.....

It's widely known that the overwhelming majority of people who make a new year's resolution of any kind fail within the first month. Everyone has their own journey to navigate, and the reasons for failure are too many to dissect. But there are 3 ingredients to goal setting(especially with health) that will massively improve your odds of being one of the few to succeed, while the others wait until next year.
