Summary

Why do we not achieve our goals despite knowing what to do to achieve them? We know, it's obvious, it's logical, but we just can't do it. In this short podcast I read a listeners question out, a listener that is struggling to get pregnant due to a history of over exercising, under eating, and suffering from anorexia. This is commonly know as the female athlete triad. The approach is logical, but the issue isn't knowledge, it's the application of it due to an unhealthy mindset. Its time to go deep on an issue that is all too common in the fitness industry. It used to be a common problem in elite athletics, but now it's more common in fitness trainers and people trying to achieve their fitness goals.

Q&A shows I do with Tom then email Ben Coombre at gmail.com with the subject line podcast and it will get thrown into the

0:39.7

podcast question mix. So here is the question and it's going to take me a little

0:47.1

while to read it's quite a personal one and the reason why I chose to read this

0:52.3

question out is it's really important and it shows you how

0:56.6

we know a lot of things as people.

the actions that you're actually doing.

1:24.6

And I'm using this question to show you the link between logic and emotion and how sometimes it's not always in our control and this is where we need the help of others

1:37.2

to regain that control, to see the plan for the future, to be able to take action on the right kind of

1:46.0

of things and know why you're doing that because the reality is a lot of us have

1:50.2

some old behaviors that are getting in the way of our future potential and it's really
