In today's episode, Coach Adam and I sit down and discuss the topic of nutrition and how it can benefit our members depending on where they are starting and what their specific goals are. From everything from creating healthy habits to nutrient timing for our high performers, we discuss how we can tailor our coaching based on the needs of the individual. I have included a few different resources below that we discussed in the show:

Individual Nutrition Coaching Handbook to help you get moving in the right direction

Healthy Sleep Resource Guide to help you establish a good nighttime routine and enhance your sleep

Healthy Simple Recipes to give you all ideas on how to easily incorporate different ideas depending on what meals you find yourself skipping

Here is information on supplements and meal delivery services

Thorne Supplements to help you supplement any meals

ICON Meals for healthy meals that can be delivered to your doorstep. Use discount code DISTRICTH to get 10% off all meals.

In today's episode I talk about the risk and return spectrum behind programming for health and longevity. In functional fitness, there is an endless supply of movements we can choose, progress, and load. The question becomes what movements are going to provide the most bang for your buck and which movements don't make sense in terms of risk and return for the general population. It is our belief that we shouldn't be doing certain movements just for the sake of doing them. Ask the question of what health and fitness is meant to serve in your life and focus on programming and movements that speak to that "why." Everything else just becomes entertainment and novelty. Enjoy!

Today I delve into our staff development process and why it means so much to me that we have the very best coaches at District H. It is not enough to just have passion for coaching. In order to succeed as a coach at District H, there needs to be accelerated development of technical and personal skills. We do that by providing mentorship, continuing education, and a continuous feedback loop. Our members deserve the very best so we are proactive about creating the very best. Enjoy!
