S 740: Metabolism, Gut Health, and the Science Behind the Ripple Effects of Your Choices

In this episode, we dive deep into rethinking traditional goal-setting approaches like the SMART framework, exploring why it may not always be the best fit for long-term health and fitness goals. We discuss innovative alternatives like the ASPIRE and SAVE models, which emphasize adaptability, emotional engagement, and intrinsic motivation. Along the way, you'll gain insights into practical tools such as visualization techniques, the Stockdale Paradox, and "if-then" planning, which can transform the way you and your clients approach success.Topics Discussed: - Limitations of SMART Goals - The ASPIRE and SAVE Frameworks - Visualization Technique - The Stockdale Paradox - If-Then Planning - Coaching Approaches   ----------  My Live Program for Coaches: The Functional Nutrition and Metabolism Specialization  www.metabolismschool.com ----------  Subscribe to My Youtube Channel:  https://youtube.com/@sammillerscience?si=s1jcR6Im4GDHbw_1 ----------   [Free] Metabolism School 101: The Video Series http://www.metabolismschool.com/metabolism-101 ----------   Grab a Copy of My New Book - Metabolism Made Simple ----------   Stay Connected:   Instagram: @sammillerscience   Youtube: SamMillerScience   Facebook: The Nutrition Coaching Collaborative Community   TikTok: @sammillerscience       ---------- “This Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.
