🎧***NEW PODCAST ALERT*** 🎧 Mike Millner - Putting Yourself on a Personality Diet [Episode 482] As an entrepreneur, chances are you’ve gone on a personal development journey and aim to be the best version of yourself that you can be. In life, we strive to have harmony in the various aspects of our life such as personal relationships, business, fitness, and nutrition. A lot of people find themselves struggling in the fitness and nutrition realm because we’ve been taught to go about it in the wrong way. Cookie-cutter fitness programs that try to put us into a box simply do not work and leave us more frustrated than when we started. Each one of us is a different and unique being, so why do we buy into programs that are a one-size-fits-all? Mike Millner is here to explain why you need an approach that is tailored to you and your personality and focuses on the most important piece of the big picture: mindset. Mike Millner is the founder of Peak Performance Optimization and has been a high-level nutrition coach for almost 10 years. He has an extensive understanding of the psychology and physiological needs of his clients that has led to thousands of success stories. Mike utilizes a personality-based approach with an emphasis on mindset to give his clients the tools they need to become the person they want to be. Through his struggles with weight, yo-yo diets, binging, and unhealthy relationships with food and exercise, Mike realized that relying on willpower simply does not work, because it is a finite resource. So what does work? In this episode, Mike shares the darkest time in his life when he felt fed up with all the different diet and exercise programs that were not working for him, and how he helps his clients avoid the same mistakes he made. Mike is passionate about educating others on the fact that we do not have to work against ourselves in order to achieve success. He helps people bridge the gap between who they are now and their future selves in a way that feels authentic and aligned to them. Mike’s energy and passion is magnetic, and you won’t want to miss this one. Listen and Enjoy! Audio version is 𝐎𝐔𝐓 TODAY 𝐨𝐧 𝐀𝐋𝐋 major podcast platforms!
