Whether your goal is to lose weight, build muscle, or boost endurance, following a consistent nutrition approach is essential. Without proper planning, many of us become easily consumed by our busy schedules and turn to run-of-the-mill restaurants or packaged foods. Consequently, we end up consuming subpar fuel for our bodies.

Achieving one’s health and fitness goals does not happen by chance. It really boils down to creating an actionable plan and following through on it. This is why meal planning can be so powerful. By implementing a weekly meal prep routine you can plan your meals in advance, give your body the proper nutrients, and ultimately reach your goals.

On this episode of The Model Health Show, meal prep expert and superstar nutrition blogger Amanda Meixner is sharing her tried and true methods for meal planning like a boss! Amanda also shares her early struggles with eating (and how she ultimately found balance with food), how to start thinking about food as fuel (that can also be fun), and how you can implement meal prep strategies that fit your unique needs and lifestyle.

In this episode you’ll discover:

• Why failure is actually a huge key to big success.
• What it means to batch your meals for the week.
• Amanda’s top three tips for effective meal planning.
• Why purchasing the right containers can inspire you to cook healthier meals.

When it comes down to it, performance is a key aspect of everything we do. Whether it’s in our relationships, jobs, or physical fitness, the ability to perform at a high level is what creates incredible results.

Sharpening that ability begins with building a strong foundation.

No one else can do your push-ups for you. This means that there is always an amount of personal responsibility and action you need to take to be a better version of yourself.

Those are your arms, your lungs, and your chesticles you’re working doing those push-ups. But, in many ways, we share our hearts and minds with others.

Your desire to be better for your kids could be the WHY behind your reps. Your drive to show your community what’s possible could be the WHY behind the choices you make at the dinner table each day. Our relationships drive us.... and they also devastate us. They give us the fuel we need to grow: the good, the bad, and the ugly. But I’m here to share with you today that you can have a lot more of the good, and a lot less of the ugly, if you realize how to approach your relationships with heart, intention, and a willingness to be better yourself.

I’m in a pretty interesting place because I’ve been with my wife for almost 15 years, yet a lot of the time I feel like I just met her, and I’m overjoyed just to be around her. I don’t think there’s anything innately different about us… there was a phase when we pretty much wanted to avoid each other (insert laughing but serious here). But something changed… we DECIDED to work on us. Not just separately, we had plenty of personal development we were working on, but deciding to work on us together as a unit is what shifted everything. We’ll call it Together Development™ (that’s right… called dibs!).

My guest today is the person who’s helped me to grow the most. She’s shown me through her actions, words, and being how to love, be loved, and be the best human that I can be. She’s the mastermind behind several successful businesses, she’s an inspiring speaker and force in so many people’s lives, she’s a devoted mother, giving friend, and a fox of a wife. Please enjoy this episode with the one and only, Anne Stevenson.

In this episode you'll discover:

• Why some people mistakenly believe that once you get fit, the mission is over.
• How irritation can happen when your reality doesn’t match your identity.
• The difference between supporting someone’s growth and trying to change them.
• How external motivation can ignite your internal fire.
• How commitment and structure in the gym can transfer over to structure and execution throughout your life.
• Why being honest with yourself is critical for real success.
• How your personal dedication to health can be a huge influence on your family’s culture.
• Why you need to “make room” for relationships that match your mission.
• Why there’s a balance between challenging yourself and loving yourself.
• The #1 skill to develop to influence your family to improve along with you.
• How acceptance is a powerful tool for happiness.
• The two different types of people when it comes to motivation to achieve goals.
• Why it’s essential to take time out to solve conflicts with your significant (no matter what).
• Why exercise is a lifeline for parents.
• How to stand up in your role and step into your power.

Billions of dollars have already been spent on cancer research. But it’s shocking to me how little effort has been invested in teaching our society the basics of cancer prevention.

What if there were SIMPLE lifestyle changes that were clinically proven to reduce your risk of various cancers by over 50 percent? Wouldn’t that justify a couple million dollars in promotion? I think so.

Benjamin Franklin said it best, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” But the money and attention is on the backend… in drugs and other treatments for cancer that have startlingly low long-term success rates. Today I’m advocating that we remove the veil from cancer, and stand up to reduce the rates of cancer even showing up in the first place!

This episode is filled with practical, actionable advice that can serve you and your family for a lifetime. Check it out now, and please make sure to share it with those you care about.

In this episode you'll discover:

• Why immersion is so significant in transforming our health (and life overall).
• Which food is proven to protect your body from abnormal gene mutations.
• Why it’s important to demystify cancer, and what cancer actually is.

What could you accomplish if you weren’t afraid? Have you ever held yourself back because you were worried what other people might think? Have you ever rejected an opportunity because you feared rejection or failure?

We all experience fear, but what truly matters is how you direct that fear and ultimately overcome it. Often we see a successful person, but neglect to understand the shortcomings and insecurities they had to push through in order to thrive.

We think that maybe one day we will reach this magical place where our fears dissipate, but that isn’t reality. Our power lies in our ability to break outside of our comfort zone and go after what we want, despite fear.

Today’s episode features one of my favorite people, Andrea Navedo from Jane the Virgin. Andrea is a living testament of what it takes to overcome fear, find strength, and unleash your potential. Her story will inspire you to let go of your excuses, live with integrity, and pursue your dreams.

In this episode you'll discover:

• Why it’s important to include our kids and younger family members in our health and wellness practices.
• How we can gain strength from the tough times we go through.
• The significance of being able to apologize to a child (even as an adult).
• Why it’s so important to have role models and people to hold you accountable.
• Why you need to face your fear or risk living with regret.
• Why paying attention to the way opportunities feel (light or heavy) can help guide you in the right direction.
• The huge role that media plays on society’s consciousness.
• Why it’s important to see positive portrayals of people who “look like you” in the media.
• The incredible story of how Andrea got her first big television acting role.
• How talking about your insecurities can help ensure they’re not controlling you.
• Why it’s important to stop making excuses and take responsibility for your life.
• How loving yourself can help you overcome your fears.
• How Jane the Virgin has helped to change the landscape of major media.
• How Andrea stays in great shape with her busy schedule as a wife, mom, and actress.
