| 0:00.0 | What's up guys. Welcome back. Aaron and I here to talk to you about one of the most overlooked, |
| 0:04.0 | but deeply fundamental and important things when it comes to whether if you're going to hire a coach |
| 0:08.9 | or you are a coach, something that's going to impact your results substantially, but it's never |
| 0:13.2 | talked about. And that is the placebo effect. Okay, we're going to get into this deep and explain |
| 0:17.7 | not only mechanistically like how the placebo effect works and how it applies to your |
| 0:21.9 | clients or you as you as a client or somebody with a fitness goal, but also how you can use this |
| 0:26.5 | to your advantage to really double the results, your own and your clients. Yeah, and I like this topic |

| 1:08.5 | So we'll talk about how our beliefs influence, in particular, performance |
| 1:12.6 | and progress when it comes to fat loss and within fitness coaching. Yeah. So in research, like if you're |
| 1:16.7 | going to test a certain drug, right, the way that they do that is they'll have a double control study, |
| 1:21.6 | double blind placebo controlled study, where you have one group who's basically given a placebo, |
| 1:26.0 | the other group is given the actual medication. |
| 1:28.1 | Now, the way that a drug is indicated to be effective or not is if it performs better than placebo. |
