Adam Gilbert: Overcome Self-Sabotage and Unlock Your Full Potential

Author: Abel James September 12, 2024 Duration: 50:22

When you know what you’re supposed to do, what keeps you from actually doing it?

We’re all guilty at times of procrastination, pleasure-seeking, indulging in distraction and escapism, and even self-sabotage. Perhaps it’s all part of the human condition.

But since knowing what to do is different from actually doing it, it’s essential to set up systems in our lives to make healthy choices the default option. And sometimes we need a little help getting out of our own way.

By helping you work through the subconscious emotional blocks that prevent you from taking positive action, finding the right coach and accountability partner can make a massive difference in your long term results.

As today’s guest quips, "I can't help people solve their problems until I find out why they like having them."

Today we’re here with our friend, Adam Gilbert, trainer, author and founder of My Body Tutor, a company he created to help people stop making excuses when it comes to health and fitness by providing personal accountability.

Whether you're a seasoned athlete, a busy parent, a coach, or just dipping your toes into health and fitness, you'll walk away with actionable strategies and a renewed sense of motivation to make positive and lasting changes in your life.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

  • How to identify and overcome common self-sabotaging patterns and behaviors
  • The role of hormone replacement therapy and other trends in the pursuit of health and longevity
  • Advice for parents who are trying to balance their own health goals with the demands of raising young children
  • How to find joy and fulfillment in your journey toward health, rather than viewing it as a sacrifice
  • And much more…

You’ll hear candid, long-form interviews with hundreds of pioneers, from biochemists like Dr. Casey Means and longevity experts like Dr. Mark Hyman to entrepreneurial minds such as Tim Ferriss and James Clear. The discussions naturally explore the practical connections between metabolic health, cognitive performance, and building a meaningful career or business. Launched back in 2012, the show has evolved from its original, playful focus into a broader exploration of what it means to live well and work smart. Tuning in provides a unique blend of actionable science for your body and innovative thinking for your ventures, all framed through Abel’s engaging and curious perspective. Each episode feels like a chance to sit in on a private masterclass, stripping away the hype to examine what truly works for optimizing a modern life.
