WARNING: Don’t let supplement companies trick you into spending your hard-earned cash on proprietary blends and other wallet-burning supplements.Now, before we get into this episode, I want you to know that this is not meant to bash the supplement industry altogether. On the contrary, there are many supplements that can be beneficial when applied correctly. For example, many of our online nutrition coaching clients follow a tailored supplement protocol that supplements their nutrition, lifestyle, and training plan.However the truth is that most supplements out there seem to do very little to NOTHING for your long term health and fitness goals.You’re about to learn exactly what proprietary blends are, how supplement companies use them to mislead you, and how to spot ‘too good to be true’ claims. So you can make an informed decision next time you’re considering a dietary supplement.Check out the blog:https://www.odysseycoachingsystems.co/proprietary-blends/Download your copy of 'The Definitive Fat Loss Nutrition Guide':https://www.odysseycoachingsystems.co/e-book/Time stamps:0:00 Introduction6:18 What Are Proprietary Blends?7:02 Proprietary Blend vs Honest Supplement Facts12:49 Understanding Effective Dosing16:28 Learn More About Basic Supplementation More from Talking Nutrition and Odyssey Coaching Systems 👇🏼Follow @johanvesters_ocs on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/johanvesters_ocs/Read the blog - https://odysseycoachingsystems.co/blog/Download the E-book - https://www.odysseycoachingsystems.co/e-book/Coaching inquiries - https://odysseycoachingsystems.co/online-nutrition-coaching

Getting enough fiber in your diet is one of the most important, yet overlooked aspects of a healthy nutrition plan.From feeding your gut bacteria and supporting daily bowel movements, to keeping you full longer and stabilizing blood sugar levels, the benefits seem endless. Research even shows that per 10g increase of fiber, you may lower your risk of all-cause mortality by 10%!Oh, and let’s not forget the essential vitamins and minerals, as well as phytonutrients (health-promoting plant compounds) that come with high fiber foods.Now, as much as most people under-eat fiber, it’s actually easier than you think! With the high fiber meals mentioned in this episode, you’ll effortlessly hit 30-40g of fiber per day!

In this episode of Talking Nutrition, Johan is joined by Diego Reyes to discuss all things stress and thyroid, and why taking a more functional approach to health and fitness is becoming more and more important these days. "You just need to be in a calorie deficit" is not the solution when you're dealing with functional issues, and addressing underlying issues such as hormonal imbalances, gut health, toxic load, and chronic stress needs to happen BEFORE focusing on aesthetic goals. In other words, you need to fix the inside, in order to create results on the outside.Enjoy this week's episode, and remember that as complicated certain functional issues may sound or feel, it pretty much always boils down to the same basic lifestyle and nutritional practices like eating a micronutrient rich diet, eating enough calories, keeping stress low, and getting adequate sleep.You can find more from Diego here:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/diego.reyes_04Website: https://www.completevitalitylife.comYouTube: https://youtube.com/@diegoreyes04Timestamps:(0:00) Introduction(3:07) When "Calorie Deficit" isn't the answer (yet)(13:59) Too much stress is often the driver of your health issues(21:41) Understanding Thyroid hormones(33:32) How finding the root cause can feel confusing(43:55) How coaching can help you deal with your functional issues(54:37) Where to find DiegoWatch this episode on YouTube:https://youtu.be/MttQguTKxzE More from Talking Nutrition and Odyssey Coaching Systems 👇🏼Follow @johanvesters_ocs on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/johanvesters_ocs/Read the blog - https://odysseycoachingsystems.co/blog/Download the E-book - https://www.odysseycoachingsystems.co/e-book/Coaching inquiries - https://odysseycoachingsystems.co/online-nutrition-coaching

In this conversation, Johan Vesters interviews his friend and client Eirik, who despite having a busy schedule has managed to lose over 15kg. They discuss his experience of eating MORE food - about which he's still surprised - the importance of sleep, training, and especially routines.The mindset shift was huge, when he realized he didn't have to follow a crash diet and starve himself in order to lose a few kilos. Not only has he successfully gone through his first fat loss phase, followed by a maintenance phase of multiple months... He also noticed improvements in his mood, stress levels, and overall well-being.Enjoy the episode, and remember that a busy schedule doesn't mean you can't achieve your goals! It just means you need to double down on routines and systems that can keep you consistent despite being busy 💪🏼Watch this episode on YouTube:https://youtu.be/AkXfSWxZCCw More from Talking Nutrition and Odyssey Coaching Systems 👇🏼Follow @johanvesters_ocs on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/johanvesters_ocs/Read the blog - https://odysseycoachingsystems.co/blog/Download the E-book - https://www.odysseycoachingsystems.co/e-book/Coaching inquiries - https://odysseycoachingsystems.co/online-nutrition-coaching
