Starting a new project or hobby requires persistence and mental fortitude; however, starting cold on a set day often leads to early failures and discouragement. In this episode, Patrick talks about his favorite productivity hack: the rolling start. By easing into your project, you put less pressure on your Day One, and instead focus on your end goal.

Episode 33: The Rolling Start

Infomercials promise quick riches and fast fitness; they peddle gadgets and gizmos for nearly every at-home inconvenience - real or imagined. But getting in shape requires a strict diet and hours of cardio work and strength training - not a single, silver-bullet solution. In this episode Patrick breaks down the worst types of 'As-Seen-on-TV' abusers in the world of health and fitness.

It's RESOLUTION SEASON! That means gyms everywhere are profiting from an influx of new members. But rather than skulking from the sidelines and judging their poor form and lack of knowledge, extend a helping hand! In this episode, Patrick explains how YOU can benefit from helping the newbies.

For many of us, food is a focal point of our lives. It is a source of happiness and health - and a means of building family and community. But for some, food is an afterthought. These 'indifferent eaters' may baffle the rest of us, but there's actually more to their story than you might think.

Episode 36: Indifferent Eaters

When launching a new fitness endeavor, many of us covet chiseled abs, bulging biceps, and muscled legs (and buns).

In this episode, Patrick tells us why fitness is so important for our faces!

Episode 37 - Face Fat

Contrary to what marketers will tell you, there is no juice, charcoal tab or dietary regiment that can outperform your liver. When it comes to processing wastes, it really is the best tool for the job. So what's the deal with all of these detox diets?

Episode 38: Do Detoxes Work?

While we often equate the two, mental and physical well-being are NOT one and the same. Perfect health does not always mean perfect happiness. Many of us don't have enough time in our days to be perfect anyway. In this episode, Patrick discusses how achieving a base-level of fitness can make it easier for us to do the things that DO make us happy.
