ERF 1,006: They Knew Everything About Fitness — And Still Couldn’t Do It (Rivka & Hannah’s Story)

Check out My Birthday Deals here: https://ericrobertsfitness.com/birthdayevent.html On today's episode I sit down with Sophie to talk about why all the health advice you're seeing on social media — seed oils, HRV tracking, cold plunges, cortisol — is making you more overwhelmed and less likely to actually do anything. I break down why consuming information has become a form of procrastination, what the actual basics are that most people still aren't doing, and I go through the biggest trending health topics right now and tell you which ones matter and which ones are a waste of your time.

Check out My Birthday Deals here: https://ericrobertsfitness.com/birthdayevent.html On today's episode I sit down with Rivka and Hannah, twin sisters and engineers who knew all the science but couldn't get themselves to actually follow through — and their coach Judy, who called them out on hiding behind the word "balance." We talk about what it really looks like to separate your feelings from the facts, why knowing what to do and doing it are two completely different skills, and how one hard conversation can be the thing that finally makes it click.

I also talk about why I'll never promote glucose monitors for fat loss — even when companies offer me $10K a month to do it — and what you should actually be focusing on instead.

Work With Me 1:1 Coaching - https://ericrobertsfitness.com/erf-1on1.html On today's episode I break down the nutrition mistakes I see from people doing both cardio and weights in the same week and why under-eating is at the root of almost all of them. Sophie and I get into how to adjust your calories and carbs on training days, what to eat before high-intensity sessions, and why I told a new client she couldn't train for a half marathon, lift five days a week, and drop the last 10 pounds all at once.

Join my Clubhouse App - https://ericrobertsfitness.com/clubhouse-page.html On today's episode I break down seven signs your body is building muscle that most people completely misread — things like being hot at night, feeling starving after meals, hitting a wall of fatigue at 2pm, and watching the scale refuse to move. I walk through why each of these signals actually means your body is doing its job, not that something's wrong, and why understanding them can keep you from quitting right before you see real change.

Join my Clubhouse App - https://ericrobertsfitness.com/clubhouse-page.html On today's episode I answer a ton of rapid-fire questions from a recent TikTok live — everything from stress eating and intermittent fasting to menopause weight gain, how many sets you actually need, and why losing a pound a week is better progress than you think. I break down what actually matters versus what social media has convinced you matters, and I don't sugarcoat any of it.

Join my Clubhouse App - https://ericrobertsfitness.com/clubhouse-page.html On today's episode I sit down with Sophie for episode 1,000 and get real about what seven years of doing this podcast has actually looked like — including why right now is the hardest stretch I've had, even after a thousand episodes. I talk about the gap between being grateful for what I've built and the obsession with wanting more, what I'd tell someone who's afraid to start, and why the goals in your head are there for a reason.

Join my Clubhouse App - https://ericrobertsfitness.com/clubhouse-page.html On today's episode I break down seven weird signs that show up right before your belly fat actually disappears — things like peeing constantly, your stomach feeling flabbier, being cold all the time, and even bad breath — and why each one means the plan is working, not failing. Most people hit these signs and quit because they think something's wrong, so I explain the science behind what's really happening in your fat cells and why you need to keep going.

Join my Clubhouse App - https://ericrobertsfitness.com/clubhouse-page.html On today's episode I bring you guys a recording of a TikTok Live Q&A where I answer your questions in real time — everything from why you keep overeating at night even though you're "good" during the day, to whether you should use a GLP-1 if you only have 20 pounds to lose, how to fit treats into your diet every single day without blowing your deficit, and how often you actually need to change your workout program. I also break down my 300-calorie rule, which is one of the simplest things you can do to stop feeling like you need a cheat day.

Work With Me 1:1 Coaching - https://ericrobertsfitness.com/erf-1on1.html On today's episode I sit down with our client Michael and coach Jamie to talk about how Michael dropped 30 pounds and four inches off his waist while traveling constantly, caring for his mom, and working around a diagnosis that told him he'd never lift more than 50 pounds again — he's now deadlifting 225. I wanted to get Michael on because his story is one of the best examples I've seen of what actually happens when a busy, high-achieving person stops trying to think their way through fitness and just lets the process work. If you've ever used your schedule, your injury, or your circumstances as a reason it can't happen for you, this one's going to be hard to ignore.
