I sit down with Jen Widerstrom, trainer, performance coach, and former Biggest Loser trainer who has spent over two decades working with everyone from professional athletes to everyday people. What she'll tell you is that the gap between knowing and doing has almost nothing to do with information. It's all in your head.
Jen gets into the psychology of behavior change, why people fail the same diet for the fifth time and call it a new problem, how shame and environment shape our relationship with food, and why removing all judgment isn't always the answer.
She also gets into her work with Arnold Schwarzenegger's Pump Club, the difference between coaching for performance versus aesthetics versus health, and why she thinks most coaches are ruining their clients' motivation with too much information.
