Jessie Pavelka: Eat, Sweat, Think and Connect Your Way To Better Health – Ep. 272
Jessie Pavelka: Eat, Sweat, Think and Connect Your Way To Better Health – Ep. 272
This week, I am excited to share with you this great conversation I had with my friend, colleague at and Co-Founder of RetroFit Gym, and fitness expert specializing in extreme weight loss, Jessie Pavelka.
We dove deep into his Four Elements for living a healthy life: Eat, Sweat, Think and Connect plus we also discussed the following and more:
- Why true transformation really begins when you look at your emotional, relational, mental and spiritual health.
- The four points of the Connect Element: to yourself, to another person, to a group, and to a higher power.
- Why the key ingredient to being healthy is to simplify it and how to do that.
- How to step away and take a closer look at what kind of life you want to create for yourself.The struggle many people face to lean into all of these different roles.
Devon and I also took a few minutes at the start of the show to talk about how to continue staying motivated about your 2020 health goals, how to find your ‘why’ for living a healthier lifestyle, and how to stay accountable with a buddy.
Hope you enjoy the conversation and learn something new!
