Scott Abel: Correcting the North American Diet Mentality

Episode 22: "Just because you have a hot body, doesn't mean you have a hot life." Scott has counseled thousands of women on overcoming eating disorders, body image troubles and self-esteem issues. Scott believes that a total mind AND body approach is the key to transforming not just your physical appearance but your overall mental and emotional health as well. With this approach he has enabled his clients to transform not just their bodies but their LIVES with his inside out approach rather than the conventional outside-in approach that is predominantly used by the diet and fitness industry. I really resonate with Scott because he has been teaching a message that I’ve only just started preaching this year and that is: fitness does not necessarily mean leanness. Though Scott knows how to accomplish both of these goals, he is direct in his approach and always puts health first. He doesn’t cultivate imaginary expectations in his clients, but instead he gives them the tools and knowledge they need to succeed in being the best version of themselves. Here's what we discussed in this episode: Why being a health coach is just as much about the mental side as it is about the physical side Why it's a huge red flag when a coach tries to make your health and nutrition complicated. It should be simple, dangit!
