Welcome to the Self-Helpful Podcast.

I'm Kevin Miller and this is the podcast people tune into for in-depth discussions on the latest research from our four most leaders in self-improvement.

So you can be growing and more equipped to live at your fullest capacity in body, mind and soul.

When you don't really like your job or a person you're in relationship with, the negative thoughts unconsciously affect your actions and behaviors and you end up sabotaging things and you make everything worse.

Well friends, this is a primary culprit in your efforts to be fit and well and healthy.

This is my Functional Friday episode where we focus on our health and wellness so we have the physical and mental capacity to help ourselves and others.

I want you to think about these words, food, dieting, exercise.

I mean when you read or hear those words, what feelings arise?

Excitement or dread? Pride or shame? Guilt?

We find so many people desiring to improve their health, get fit, lose weight.

But there are so often negative feelings about these very things that sabotage their efforts.

This show is about becoming aware, getting these issues on the table so to speak, not to eradicate them necessarily.

As you're going to hear in the show, often these feelings have roots back in our childhood or young adulthood, maybe even recently.

But they run deep and maybe you can't truly overcome and erase them and get a really positive attitude about these issues.

But we believe more immediate overcoming can be had by just figuring out how to manage the negative feelings, finding the negative feelings,

and then how to manage them and move beyond them even as they may still exist.

You're still working through them.

Thus awareness and management is our primary objective.

As functional medicine is a root issue methodology, this topic is foundational to your journey to health, wellness, and fitness.

I'm joined by my functional Friday co-host, Randy James, medical doctor, functional medicine expert, and my dear friend.

If you find value from the self-helpful podcast, you know I would love to get your review.
