0:00.0	Welcome to the Boom Boom Performance Podcast, your resource for science-based training and nutrition,
0:07.2	data-driven coaching, and education-focused content. Before we get into this podcast, I just want to say
0:12.9	thank you for taking the time to listen and learn with me so that you can apply what you are
0:17.8	about to learn, take my strategies, use these tools, and finally have
0:21.8	some serious methods to see sustainable success with your physique, your mind, and your life.

1:44.3	diving into habit change and the addictive processes in our brain that works with success habits

1:54.0	the weeds of habits and habit tracking and positive changes in our life and how we can coach
