Hello and welcome to this episode of the ESG Fitness Podcast. Today's episode is inspired by a few things.

The first one is a question that we got on Commit 6, which is, I have seen a significant improvement in my mood since starting Commit 6.

Do you think this is primarily driven by

increased activity or is there a significant impact of diet on mood? And I mean broadly, yes,

being more active, doing something positive, even things like just the simplicity of the

morning routine that we have people do.

But on top of that, there are definitely elements of your diet that impact your mood. And there's even been research on certain elements of diet and things like the consumption of

omega-3s on severity of depression. Certainly, by the way, not saying that omega-3s on severity of depression.

Certainly, by the way, not saying that omega-3s are going to cure depression,

but in terms of mood, like, does what you eat matter?

Yes, it absolutely does.

And then I also wanted to talk about, I'm going to delve into all this stuff, by the way,

I also wanted to talk about some changes that I am making in my own diet and my exercise regime.

And I guess just generally like my, I never really know what to call that because it's not just diet and exercise.

Like on Commit 6, we do the morning routine, we do journaling. There's a huge mindset element to it.

So I guess my whole life routine, if you will, and why I've changed that based on the goal of

essentially mood, because I think that's the highest level thing and often we look kind of

too downstream of that and try and almost work backwards of like oh let's say fat loss is your goal

realistically the reason you're not losing fat isn't because you haven't figured out the exact

macro split that works best for you it's because you struggle to stick to what

you know you should be doing. So a lot more of that is really about the mindset piece and a lot more

of that comes from, okay, well, how can I feel my best? Well, how can I improve my mood? Now, it's unrealistic
