#18: NUTRITION STICKING POINTS

In this episode, I dive into what I believe is one of the biggest sticking points for most people on their adventure, fitness, or weight loss journey — nutrition. But not in the “here’s what to eat” kind of way. This is about the real stuff that gets in the way: the perfectionism, the pressure, the emotional eating, the portion control problems, the guilt, the all-or-nothing mindset.

You’ll hear me unpack:

• Why I think people don’t struggle with nutrition because they don’t know what to do — but because they’re overwhelmed, overcommitted, or being held back by unspoken pressures

• How I personally prepare food for long adventure days, bike races, and wild travel — and why that simple system works

• How to make nutrition work in the real world: with jobs, kids, time pressure, snacks in the cupboard, and people around you who just don’t get it

• Why I firmly believe you’re not a slave to food — you just need to bring your attention and intention back into play

• What to do when the people around you don’t support your goals (and how to have those conversations without blowing things up)

This one’s not about diets or calorie counting. It’s about real talk — mindset, self-leadership, and putting yourself back in the driver’s seat when it comes to your food, your energy, and your confidence.

🎯 “It’s not about being perfect. It’s about being intentional. 80% structure gives you 20% flexibility — and that’s how we build a life that works, not a diet you want to escape from.”
