Join me. I'm Carrie Holland, a family physician, certified personal trainer, certified health coach, and certified life coach. Each week, I'll share tools and concepts to help you optimize both your habits and your mindset. My goal is to help you be strong – inside and out. I take the science (which is plentiful and often confusing) and pare it down to give you what you need to know in order to build muscle, lose fat, exercise, eat healthy, and more. No big words or doctor-speak; I keep fitness simple. Beyond that, we're going to uplevel your mindset so that changing your lifestyle is possible.

Sometimes the hardest habits to change are the ones we understand really well but keep repeating anyway. We know what we want to do differently, we know the habits that would move us closer to our goals, and yet… we still find ourselves doing the same things over and over. In this episode, I share a coaching story about a client who ate a banana pastry at work even though she doesn't even like bananas. But the truth is, the pastry wasn't really the problem. It was just a clue that there was something deeper going on underneath.
