In this episode we sit down with Rushini Goonathilake, owner of Natural Eats. The company has been spearheading the meal plan service industry for the last few years and their systematic way to onboard clients and fullfill clients in a way that adjust right in to their lifestyle is unmatched. She gives us strategies to be able to shop well, prep well and select foods that are both health and economically friendly.

In this short episode we cover the concept of playing the infinite game. Committing to your nutrition long enough to yield the desired results, and it's not about will power. Decision fatigue is the downfall for the majority of failed attempts to make dietary changes, but we got your back here with some solutions to break right through those obstacles. Share this with all your friends because it may be the breakthrough they need.

What is processed food? Most people are just straight up confused about what is healthy and what is not. In this episode we explain to you exactly how to determine what is healthy and how to make better decisions about your choice of food in whatever situation you find yourself.

Managing stress and recovery is a delicate dance. We want to get fit, strong and sexy but if we go too hard, we crash and burn. If we don't go hard enough, we don't get disproportionate returns on our efforts ( which is what we are all looking for). Listen to this episode and change the vicious cycle of crashing and burning from training too hard( or too easy).

In this episode I sit down with a childhood friend and a man that has made a name for himself in the CrossFit circle. Simon Jones is a CrossFit Level 3 Trainer who has coached over 300 seminars worldwide in the last 10 years. He is one of the most experienced CrossFit coaches in the world and now takes position as Flowmaster at CrossFit certifications. He has judged at the CrossFit Games, rubbed shoulders with everyone from athletes to the founders of CrossFit and was also the person who introduced Sam Briggs to CrossFit. She was the 2013 CrossFit games champion for those who do not know.  However, his journey was not easy and was not without major bumps in the road and we get in to those details on this show. If you are a member at CrossFit Ceylon, rest assured, you will be hearing more from him. Enjoy this episode!

Insulin resistance. Doctor Gotabhaya Ranasinghe explains to us why it is so important to chase metabolic health and how excess sugar, excess Omega 6 and excess trans fats are the culprits for all of these very modern diseases. This one gets interesting.
