There's so much we wished we learned earlier about our health and we want you to be better equipped... Omar and I were recently discussing some of the lessons we've learned about our health and fitness over the years and we thought it'd make for a great episode if we came up with our own list and shared our biggest lessons with you! From our Crossfit days to my battles and issues with hormone health thankfully on the rise, we've been through a lot, made some mistakes, and have definitely upgraded our mindsets around health. There's always room for improvement but we are both proud of ourselves recently for the work and consistency we've put in. Some of these truths and lessons might surprise you so definitely listen to the end for all 9 and let us know if you enjoyed this style of episode!  Time Stamps: (2:01) Surprising Health Lessons We Wished We Learned Sooner (3:52) More than One Phase to Reach Your Dream Body (6:41) The Importance of Diet Variation (12:50) You Can Go Out to Eat and Still Reach Your Goals (15:30) The Goldilocks Rule for Working Out (17:12) More is Not Always Better (19:51) Massage Can Be Helpful or Harmful Depending On Your Goals (22:07) Body Dysmorphia is Real (26:20) Double Tasking During Walks (29:02) Chewing Your Food Slowly is Still a Working Progress (31:02) Different Strains of Probiotics Help in Different Ways---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women’s Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------​Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we’ll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?
