Today, I am blessed to have here with me Jay Nixon. He is a skilled speaker, author, coach, and mentor for anyone looking to get results and permanently alter their way of life. Over the years, Jay has helped thousands of people gain confidence and be their best selves. He hosts a podcast called "Thrive Forever Fit", which covers topics related to diet, exercise, and mentality that can influence how we feel and behave. Jay’s father was killed in an accident when he was five. As a coping mechanism for the tragedy, food became his way to comfort himself and led him to overweight. But even in this condition, Jay has always been interested in fitness and nutrition. When he got older, Jay engaged to different sports that helped him on his weight journey. However, he still struggled with his mind as he is anxious about how his body looks. Nonetheless, he became a personal trainer at 17, and since then, Jay has begun to find the path to where he belongs. Ultimately, he decided to open his gym, started writing books, and began his career on coaching people. Thrive Fitness Studio is the name of his gym and everything associated with it is called Thrive Forever Fit because Jay believes we should do something consistently for as long as we live. He wanted to teach people how to live comfortably so that we wouldn't have to do radical things that have been proven to be failures. In this episode, Jay Nixon digs into the issues and wrong beliefs that hinder people from achieving a healthy body and lifestyle. Additionally, Jay emphasizes the value of having the correct mindset when losing weight and some takeaways you can implement immediately to begin your journey towards forever fitness. Tune in as we chat about the mindset around the food, myths about losing weight, advice to start right away, and the difference between intelligent work rather than hard work.
