[00:02:05] Especially because, well, I'm at it for Verizon again. My lucky day. Especially when I have almost a few more math classes to get through. And come on Verizon, help me get through this hell of a course. It's already been hell. I don't need more hell. But they're putting me through hell. Thanks. What did I pay them for? Apparently. Anyway, that's my speed for today. Or is it?

[00:02:33] Today's guest, he's a health coach. He's going to be talking about everything around healthy living with around 40 plus. But I'm sure he's going to give us tips and tricks on how to live our best, healthy lives yet. So, without further ado, let's welcome Brian on the show. Hey, Brian. Hey, Jimmy. Thanks for having me at all. Thanks for coming on.

[00:03:04] Before we get started, can you tell us a little bit about who you are, what you do, how you got started, and why you got started? Yeah. So, I am a health coach outside the Chicago area. And I have been in the health and wellness business for, gosh, about 20 years now. I started out doing training in a studio.

[00:03:25] And it's sort of led me down the path of learning more about, you know, nutrition and meal timing and stress management and sleep.

[00:03:39] And so, I've taken my training business and turned it more into, I'd say, a well-rounded business as far as consulting with mainly middle-aged males and helping them either get back into shape or get into shape they've never been into. So, that's pretty much the main niche I work with.

[00:04:05] And what prompted me to get into this business was something I was always interested in, used to be in the corporate world and wanted to do something a little more impactful regarding health and wellness. And it's something that I sort of follow with my own lifestyle. And, yeah, so I just decided to make it a full-time job. And I also host a podcast, the Get Lean and Clean podcast. And, yeah, I just, you know, love helping people reach their goals.

[00:04:36] That sounds awesome. Awesome. Especially because, you know, I think this is like the perfect time to talk about health and wellness. And, I mean, anytime is the perfect time to talk about health and wellness. But, I can sure go for some stress management tips at the moment, especially when I have back-to-back tests. One that I'm bummed on, so I can't do any worse. So, the bar is set low.

[00:05:06] But then I have a final that's accumulative. So, I'm like, great, it ends on seven chapters of math. So, anything can go wrong. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I mean, stress management, a big part of that is prioritizing a little bit of time for that. Sometimes it's easier said than done. But, anyways, yeah. I hear you.

[00:05:33] I haven't taken many tests in a while, but I'm sure you'll get through it just fine. I'm hoping. So, my first question for you is, what are some biggest challenges people face when they're working with you? Yeah. I would say probably one of the biggest challenges that people face is sort of getting out of their own way.

[00:06:01] So, I think that's a big one. I think that's a big one. I think that's a big one.

[00:06:33] So, I wanted to ask you a little bit further. How... When you say somebody get out of their own way, what do you mean by that? Like, can you give us some examples of somebody getting in their own way? Yeah. So, you know, one of those things could be simply the fact that an individual portrays himself a certain way.

[00:06:59] I had a client who I noticed when we would talk every week, he would... He referred himself as like the fat guy. So, he was identifying a certain way and he was saying it in what he thought was somewhat of a joking manner. But he's probably been saying this about himself for the past 30, 40, however many years. And so, you know, words matter when it comes to that.

[00:07:26] And I think if you're telling yourself those things, even though you think you're somewhat joking, if it's a, you know, daily, weekly occurrence, it tends to come true. And so, you know, that's just one example of someone sort of getting in their own way. I think I, I think for me, I've gone my own way in my head at times where I keep, I feel like people are always mad at me. Pardon.

[00:07:52] I mean, just being myself or if I'm, I always feel like I'm being judged by others and maybe just in my own head. Like, for instance, I keep thinking my parents might be upset with me that I just can't stand math or I can, or I don't, or I'm just scraping by on math this semester. Math is not my strong suit.

[00:08:19] And I said to myself multiple times, I'm not strong at math. And I probably did beat a dead horse into my brain, but let's just say I'm not being counted anytime soon. Well, that's okay. I think, yeah, I think we all have our strong suits and we have to sort of identify what we're, what we're good at. And, you know, something that you're not as strong at, like, like you mentioned math.

[00:08:47] It doesn't probably help the matter to tell yourself that you're not good at it, but it's just one of those things where maybe you just got to work a little bit harder in that. And on that subject to, to make it so it's not your weakness, but you know, that obviously takes time and effort. And, um, you know, so, but, but everyone has weaknesses. So it's just about identifying it and then trying to maybe turn it into a strength or at least get it. So it's not, not lagging behind as much. Yeah.

[00:09:16] So my next question for you is what could, what can do, what can people do to start living a healthier lifestyle by getting out of their own way? And, um, yeah.

[00:09:29] Well, I think first and foremost, you know, in order to, if they feel like they're sort of being held back by themselves by a lot of the routine that they do on a daily basis, I think it's important to identify like having, you know, healthy routines that they can follow. Um, if an individual keeps telling themselves every year that they want to start lifting weights and they never do it.

[00:09:59] And every year it's the same thing over and over again. Well, I would say to that person, maybe it's time to either hire someone, hire a coach. I think that's really helpful in order to get help in order to help you, um, push through. And when you're accountable to someone, uh, you know, it sort of takes the onus off you and puts it on someone else a little bit and it's, and it's helpful to have that.

[00:10:24] So, you know, if someone's stuck in their own and their own bad habits, I think having a coach is big. And then having that coach help implement habits, that'll be, you know, helpful to lead a healthy life, whether that's, you know, lifting weights or, or, you know, going for a walk or whatever it is, or eating a different way. Um, I think it's, I have coaches in all, all aspects, a lot of aspects in life that I need help in. And that helps me get through, you know, those periods of time.

[00:10:55] I can relate to some of the, that a little bit where I, there was a point in time in my life where I thought I could just eat anything and anything like, and there would be any consequences to my body. Um, I mean like gaining weight or anything. It's like, Oh, I'm working out. I can eat whatever I want. It doesn't work that way. Uh, I was not seeing progress.

[00:11:22] And, uh, my dad's friend, uh, who used to be a personal trainer, he gave me some tips and tricks on, Hey, X, Y, and Z. Uh, I'm not gonna share what X, Y, and Z are just because everybody's different. And this, this method worked for me. So I'm not gonna just, uh, share with everybody because then it's like, Oh, you're giving me expert advice.

[00:11:47] No, I just, I just did what he told me because it worked for me, helped me lose my 30 pounds. It was just like, it was just a, uh, nutrition change. And he was like, if you need a cheat meal, have it like, have half of it or less than half of it, no, a third or whatever.

[00:12:10] And so I took that, uh, to heart and, uh, my parents helped me stay accountable. And there was even a time when they removed a lot of that stuff from the house or put it in places where I couldn't find anything to unhealthily snack on. So I appreciated that because I was like, Oh, let's just keep a bunch of junk and rent food around the house. That's a good idea.

[00:12:41] Yeah. Never a good idea. Um, if you don't buy and you don't eat it and, uh, it's not sitting out on the counter. There's less, less of a chance, right? Yeah. Then you kind of have to go digging for it. And like, I'll give you an example of, uh, of that time when I went digging for it. It was just a recent, uh, there's a few weekends ago.

[00:13:09] Uh, I wanted some, something sweet, a little ice cream. And, uh, I had like the first flavor that I had. It was like, I forgot the flavor, but I was like really good. And then second one, we were just plain chocolate. And I was like, I really didn't need the second one. I was like, and, and that got me wrong. I like chocolate, but when you, my taste buds were looking for something different and I

[00:13:36] was looking for, and it's like, Oh, chocolate. I didn't need that. It was like just boring. Yeah. Once you had everything. Yeah. Yeah. A lot of temptations out there. Uh, so, but you know, going back to your question, I mean, I think it's important to understand, like take one thing at a time. And so if you're going to make any habit changes, I would start with one thing and focus on that.

[00:14:06] Uh, and, and once you get that down, then you can move on to something else. But sometimes people try to do too much all at once and then they end up doing nothing. Um, so my next question for you is, uh, what could people, how long does it take to create a better habit? Like, is it like a certain amount of days or, um, years, months?

[00:14:35] Yeah, that's a good question. I think it depends on the individual. I know there's, you know, there's studies like, Oh, it takes 21 days or however many days to form a new habit. But I would say it's more of an individual basis and what their histories been, how old they are. Um, you know, if someone has an old habit for a long time, it, you could definitely break that habit, but it might take some longer than someone else.

[00:15:03] Who's maybe a little bit younger and doesn't, hasn't, doesn't have as many bad habits. So I think it's just a matter of, you know, consistently implementing that habit and not getting stuck on something new. Um, cause that's what happens. A lot of times people will start something and then end up stopping it a couple of weeks later. So I think it goes back to just focusing on one thing until it becomes a habit and how long that takes is a good question.

[00:15:29] I don't, I can't give you a definite answer on that, but it depends definitely on the individual. Uh, I know, uh, like I've been trying to break a habit, uh, that I have done over the years. And it's, I've been, I think one thing that keeps on like deflating myself is when I see the, it's kind of like the, uh, pass or fail kind of method.

[00:15:58] And it's like, you're just, you're successful on this day. You're successful at this day. And all of a sudden when you mess up, it's like, I had to square one. I'm like, good. I'm, I'm being sarcastic, but it's, uh, I, it's kind of downgrading a little bit when you see big fat Zippo. Big what? I'm sorry. Big fat Zippo meaning zero. Oh yeah. Well, no, I, they can be deflating.

[00:16:27] I think if you try to get small wins, small wins early on and build some momentum that really can help. So my next question for you is what was, what are some ways for people that can continuously keep going after, um, their healthy living lifestyles and creating better, um, improving,

[00:16:53] let me rephrase that, making better, uh, habits and bad habits. Well, I think first and foremost, understanding sort of why, why you want to make a change, have a really strong, why, uh, whether this is maybe being able to play with your kids or grandkids or, or, uh, being able to walk without getting out of breath or go up the stairs without,

[00:17:18] you know, whatever sort of that driving, why is, I think it's important to have that for an individual and because you're going to have sort of these ups and downs when it comes to, um, your habits and, and being able to break them and create new ones. So I think it's important to really understand your why. And then from there, like I said, yeah, take one at a time and sort of build it from there. Sure.

[00:17:44] So my next question for you is what, why do you think most people fail at creating better habits? Like I know we said, uh, uh, that I know that you said, and, uh, it's, uh, like a motivation

[00:18:03] or maybe it's just maybe, uh, like a motivation or they don't have a strong why, or they don't have a coach, but could it also be possibly be that, that, uh, there's just so many temptations around them? Yeah, for sure. For sure. It could be also, it could be a product of the people that they're around is why they might fail as well.

[00:18:31] I mean, we're influenced so much about regarding our community. And so if you find that you're hanging out with individuals that are not serving your goals and where you want to get to, I think that's important to find people who are, who are, you know, doing and, and succeeding at things that you would like to do or succeed at.

[00:18:52] And so that could be something that really holds a lot of people back. I think community is really important. I think that's why, uh, like for example, CrossFit had, had became so big was because of that community. Uh, so it, it, you feel like you just keep falling in the same place. Maybe it's time to change the people that you surround yourself with. Yeah. That's what I've been doing a little bit myself is, uh, last couple of months.

[00:19:21] I've been figuring out who's been in my corner, who has been, I mean, they don't always have to be like checking in on me or whatnot. That's, I get life busy and whatnot, but who always just keep showing up time and time again.

[00:19:39] And there's some people I just let go because, A, they served a purpose years ago when I was in, when I needed somebody to be there and the same situation I was in. And then they moved on and I was like, this person's just not, never been in my corner since. So I'm like, bye-bye. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

[00:20:09] That's good. So, uh, what are some other, uh, challenges that people face when they're living a healthy lifestyle?

[00:20:21] Well, let's see. We've talked about temptation and we talked about consistency as far as like getting started and, and maybe hiring a coach would be helpful. Um, some other challenges, like we mentioned, maybe, maybe the individuals that they surround themselves with is another one. Um, obviously there's temptation at every block and every corner.

[00:20:44] I think it's important to set yourself up for success and by, and ways to do that. For example, we talked about a little bit already is if you don't buy it, you're not going to eat it. Right. So like avoiding the temptation altogether and not having it sort of be around is really important. Hey, it's Jimmy Claire.

[00:21:12] Get lifetime deals on tools and starts getting smarter. Don't wait. Your future self will thank you. Visit AppSumo or visit the link in the show notes for more information.

[00:21:28] Um, also setting time aside for whether it's going for a walk or it could be meditation, uh, or resistance training. You know, if you don't prioritize it, it's probably not going to happen. And I see that with a lot of people where they say, Oh, I'm going to work out, but they sort of save it to the end of the day and they end up making excuses.

[00:21:51] So I just think that it's about cultivating an environment that's going to help you succeed and take those next steps to live a healthy lifestyle.

[00:22:03] I agree with that, especially because, uh, my help. I have had my ups and downs. Uh, like I, I'll admit this on my, uh, on the show that I did gain some weight from probably a lot of stress from math, especially because there's so many ways you can mess up and have a single problem. And then, uh, and then, uh, whether it's a running issue, et cetera.

[00:22:31] And then there's also, but, uh, I'm after I, last time I weighed myself, which was this past Saturday, I decided as I, I'm taking a stand here as I, as I, I'm not going backwards to where, what I was at. Uh, and I was like, I got to figure out how to manage my stress levels better because it's not working very well these days.

[00:23:00] So I, I've been going back to, like a bit, where going back to the books and figure out better ways to manage my time and stress. And I've noticed the last few nights and into different weekends. I haven't been able to relax and read my book before I go to bed because I just been thinking about ABCDEFG.

[00:23:28] And I'm like, no wonder why I'm a wreck because I'm not, I'm in prioritizing some downtime. I'm not prioritizing any self-care before the end of the day. I mean, I'm still going to karate classes, but let's be honest, that's not relaxing before bed. That's a workout before bed.

[00:23:49] But I mean, it can be relaxing to get all that energy out of you, but then it's like, okay, now how do I relax from a 45 minute class? Yeah. Like you said, it just comes down to prioritizing it as much as you can. And I've been keeping track. And so I was like, okay, I got to stop fitting time in for this because I'm getting tired of this whole mess of a hamster wheel I'm on.

[00:24:19] And then I got to get off the hamster wheel. So my next question for you is, how do you, for yourself, how do you prioritize healthy living? Well, it's a good question. I, I would say that I've been doing it for so long, it's become habitual, but I think one of the main things I do is I plan it the night before or the day before what my day will look like.

[00:24:48] And so I typically block out that time. Like I would block out a podcast interview or recording or, um, a coaching, uh, or, you know, coaching client. So that's how I do it. I plan it the day before. I don't wait till the day of to make decisions around healthy habits. I do that the night before.

[00:25:15] That's important because, uh, my calendar, I use Google calendar because it's free. Uh, I, I, I do have a certain time blocks for reading and some other things, but it is, I've been busy studying and whatnot.

[00:25:33] Uh, uh, it's, uh, it gets overlooked sometimes because, uh, I mean, my last few weeks because, but most times because the tutoring either went late or I've been, uh, so concerned with so many numbers or so much text as I, let me just watch TV. And I was like, and I, and I, I'm not making excuses. I'm just sharing of what's been going on.

[00:26:03] Like so many words of math problems. Do I want to read more words? So that's where my brain's been at too many words, too many math problems and too many numbers. I have nightmares about numbers now. A big letter, a big number is going to eat me. Good.

[00:26:27] So my next question for you is, uh, what are the benefits of, of having a healthy lifestyle? Like a balanced lifestyle? Ooh, I mean, lots of benefits. I mean, if you talk about resistance training, right? Uh, strength training, you have better bone mass, better lean mass, more muscle mass. I mean, these are things that if you don't do them, they will, you'll lose them essentially.

[00:26:54] And you'll, you know, sarcopenia is something, uh, which means, you know, muscle loss as be age is a real thing. So that's going to allow you to do certain things as you get older, like just getting up or, you know, um, or, or, or getting, going in and picking something up.

[00:27:13] You know, the little things, uh, will be more difficult if you're not setting yourself up for success by staying active, doing resistance training or walking and, uh, things like that. Um, obviously managing blood sugar is a big one as well. So it helps with that. Um, and the more muscle you have, the, the, the better you're at, um, metabolizing glucose.

[00:27:37] Um, and so, yeah, there's, I mean, we could probably do a whole, a whole episode on resistance training and its benefits. Um, but obviously healthy eating, um, you know, you set yourself up for success. You'll have better gut health, um, more energy and, uh, essentially, um, you know, feel better, sleep better, you know, stress management's a big one as well. Right.

[00:28:05] If, if, if we're, if we're implementing, um, healthy habits around stress, we're able to handle things better. And, um, and that'll help with better sleep, uh, cortisol levels, which is, you know, something we want to keep under, on the wraps and not, you know, being sort of an upset. And, uh, fight and flight mode all the time. So, yeah, lots of great benefits from staying active or, you know, to being, you know, doing mindfulness practice and, um, and, uh, yeah, going for walks and lifting and things like that.

[00:28:35] I'm hoping when this, uh, weather starts becoming, uh, consistently, uh, warmer, et cetera, I'm hoping to, to be able to, uh, start taking some walks here and there in my neighborhood. Uh, cause it's a nice neighborhood. Uh, but I can't imagine myself going outside in, uh, 20 degree weather and I've been for a walk and say, oh yeah, I'm going to go out for a chilly walk.

[00:29:05] That's a great idea. Nah, what the heck am I thinking? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I, you know, I'm in Chicago, we have cold weather. Uh, I just put on a lot of layers and go cause that do dog. So. Well, it was funny. Uh, when I was in, uh, Ireland, uh, last year, uh, for my dad's birthday, he, we were talking, uh, it was funny.

[00:29:32] The people that's like so nice and everything. They said, the person said like, you know, there's no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing. I like that. And I was like, somebody should put that on a t-shirt. Yeah. That's a good saying. There's no bad weather. It's just bad clothing and bad choices. What you're wearing. Yeah. I like that. Like, it's funny.

[00:30:00] Uh, some people's like, well, Jimmy, why don't you wear a long sleeve t-shirt in the, in the winter? It's like, I would, I don't have any. I feel like I'm like, I kind of feel like I'm trapped in a long sleeve t-shirt. Uh, I don't like the feeling of feeling trapped. I don't know. I mean, I wear a sweatshirt all day if I'm just cold in the house and whatnot, but it's lightweight. But there's long sleeves under this and nothing.

[00:30:31] No. No. No. I don't know. It's just me. Uh, so, what are some, uh, fun ways can people can incorporate healthy living into their lives? Because I know some people I've had on the show who said, in past interviews, who said, oh, I, uh, I hate working out.

[00:30:58] So I'm going to, uh, but I forced myself to do it anyway. Or I had to spend X amount of hours at the gym.

[00:31:32] Um, yeah. So I've always enjoyed doing, uh, like Muay Thai or kickboxing as a form of a cardio. Uh, so yeah, for sure. If you want to do something long-term and have it be sustainable, you got to enjoy it. And, um, and if you're not enjoying it, it's probably not going to last. So finding something like, you know, like that'll, so it's like I mentioned, like tennis or something that'll sort of keep you coming back. I think it's important.

[00:32:04] I, it's funny that you bring up, uh, kickboxing because, yeah, I've been, uh, doing kickboxing classes at karate for, well, I started in 2017. 18, 19, 20, 21, 22. Seven or eight years, I believe. I got my math correct. Oh, crap, more math. Uh, so, uh, I've been doing it seven or eight years straight so far.

[00:32:31] Uh, but in total, I've been doing karate for 17 years, even though I had a 10 year break between the years. But, uh, I've been doing it for 17 years and people's like, don't you get tired of it? And I was like, no, it's a very fun sport. Right. Yeah.

[00:32:55] I mean, I know it's a little dangerous, but I mean, the, uh, the place I train at, it's in a, it's in a safe environment. So it's not like we're trying to knock someone's head off and across the room, you don't have to go fighting in the ring or whatnot. Uh, it's on a mat. It's padded.

[00:33:18] So, uh, so I, I, I'll never train, I will never, uh, get in a ring professionally and not looking to. I just, I, I've been working out for 12 plus years and I wanted something to push me even further past my limit. So I wanted that adrenaline rush because it's like, I can continue to lift weights, which I do.

[00:33:43] But, but then after a while you, you kind of see the same old, same old where karate is like, you're doing this combination three times this week, but then they're going to change it up on something else on you. And sometimes if you think you see a pattern, they try to change it up to you again. And so it's like, wait, isn't this supposed to be this sparring this week? Nope. We're doing this. So I mean, it's throwing me off my game.

[00:34:09] I don't like those, but you go with it anyway, because it's like, they're trying to keep me around my toes. I appreciate this. Yeah. Yeah. That's the fun thing about karate or kickboxing. It's, there's always something new to learn. Yeah. Sometimes I, like even I work out of my own house, there's, uh, I get tired. Sometimes the, uh, the platform I use, I love it, but sometimes the videos repeats itself.

[00:34:38] And as I, and they put a tag next to it that says, this is new. I already did this last year. And as I made it and I said, last, last day of the 2023. Yeah. Nice try. Yeah. I heard it. Yeah. I like you, if you want me to really think this is new, you should take that feature out.

[00:35:06] So, uh, my, my next question for you is, uh, where do you see, uh, yourself and your healthy living journey in the next couple of years? It's a good question. Um, well, I recently came out with a book. So a lot of my efforts are being put into that and getting it out there.

[00:35:29] So, uh, I think just trying to really reach the masses more, you know, one-on-one coaching is fun, but you can only, um, influence so many people with that. So that was part of my reasoning behind, uh, writing the book, uh, the step planner system and helping to just reach to more, reach out to more people and influence them in a way that can help them. So that's probably be a lot of my focus for the next few years. Yeah.

[00:35:58] I've been, I've been hoping to be able to write a book at the moment, but my schooling got in the way this semester. And I know some might be thinking, but you chose to go to school. Yeah, I did. But, uh, I didn't, I knew math was going to be extra work for me, but I didn't think I would need, uh, like 80% of the time for it.

[00:36:25] I was thinking maybe like, I don't know, and even 50-50 or a 60-40. It's not even been that. And so it's like, no, gosh darn it. And it's like, I could have probably been like consistently growing at the beginning of this year. But it was like, damn it, math, you keep getting away. And this is why I hate it even more.

[00:36:55] My tutor has only been hearing me say that. And it was like, I don't think it ever came up that you said you hated math. And it was like, I've only said that about a million times by now. So I should put it on the record. My last few questions for you is, uh, who's your favorite podcaster and why? And feel free not to say me. Oh, who's my favorite podcaster? Uh, a good buddy of mine has a podcast out of California.

[00:37:25] His name is Brad Kearns. I'd probably say, um, he does a lot of great things. So that's my favorite podcaster. I thought you were going to say me. Uh-huh. I'm kidding. Uh, my favorite podcast is, uh, my favorite podcast is, uh, my favorite podcast. I think my favorite would be, uh, Lewis Howes of the School of Greatness. Uh, he's just very personable. And he has a lot of great guests. Sometimes I can't listen to his full episodes. So sometimes I listen to his, uh, shorter ones.

[00:37:54] Uh, they're like 10 minutes versus, uh, maybe 50 or 60 minutes. Uh, sometimes a little bit over 60 minutes. And I don't mind. But, uh, when you kind of crunch for time on stuff, is that how do I fit this in? A little snar. Quick, somebody give me a quick tip. Uh, uh, my next question for you is where can people follow you, find you, learn more about who you are and what you do? Yeah. Beth place, Brian grin.com.

[00:38:24] Um, and, uh, the Get Leany Clean podcast. Well, and my next question for you is where, what is your podcast about? And who, and who has, who's your target audience? And, uh, who, what else, who are some of your guests that you have on? Yeah. I mean, my target audience are probably health centric individuals.

[00:38:49] You know, we're looking for, uh, actionable tips, uh, to live a healthier lifestyle. And, uh, some of my guests, um, gosh, I've had quite a wide array. I have 300, over 350 episodes. Um, but I've had, I've had Brad Kearns on. I've had, um, a gentleman by the name of Jay Feldman on.

[00:39:17] Um, I had Dr. Jason Fung, uh, Ken Berry on. Uh, and, uh, yeah, so we've had a wide array. Well, if you're always looking for a guest, I'd be willing to, uh, come on. And, uh, because I can share with you my health and wellness journey. Uh, I know I shared a little tidbits here and there, but, um, I mean, it's a lot longer than that. Yeah.
