MIKE MATTHEWS
About this episode

In this podcast, I interview Isho, who turned his weight loss journey around by transitioning from traditional diet myths to a holistic, evidence-based approach. 

In his 40s, Isho has lost 24 pounds (and counting!) while getting stronger at the same time.

Having battled with weight for years, Isho's breakthrough came from our comprehensive coaching program, emphasizing flexibility, balance, and consistency. 

In our discussion, we delve into his diet structure, how he manages cravings, and his strategies for indulging in treats without derailing progress.

Tune in to learn how Isho transformed his relationship with food by recognizing the importance of a balanced and sustainable diet, and the mindset shifts and mental fortitude required for lasting change.
