On today’s episode, I am joined by Andris Sturans to discuss the role of mindset and mentality in nutrition. Andris is a Certified Nutrition Coach, Competitive crossfit athlete, and deep thinker who is extremely passionate about guiding individuals to success in their health and fitness. As a coach and athlete himself, Andris has learned that success in nutrition is more about mindset than it is about knowledge, and shares lots of anecdotal and science based evidence to support the role that the mind plays in our ability to adapt and grow. In this episode, you’ll learn about the relationship between nutrition and sleep, how to discover your “why” behind what you’re chasing, and even how what you think about your food affects how the body metabolizes it. This episode is jam packed with passionate, educational conversation that is sure to leave you feeling empowered.
