Here at The Betterment Co. we believe that anyone can be better, but that no one can do you BETTER for YOU. And while your personal 1% Better is possible, it's challenging to be consistent and overcome obstacles on your journey to improve in mind, body, and spirit. Since publishing my first episode on the Defining Dad Podcast and getting fired from my job of 8 years because of it, I've worked hard over the past several years to bring you resources and coaching that are accessible, actionable, and authentic -- I have always sought to cut through the garbage of the health and fitness industry by making scientific truths simple, life-transforming practices evident, and helping those who deeply desire to grow to do so despite the obstacles.Some of you have been with me since the beginning --investing as a coaching client, supporting my content via patreon or app membership, or participating in workshops and challenges while the Betterment Brand grew wider and deeper. In a capitalist society, every dollar spent is a vote to keep something around. And in the age of information, every like, listen, comment, share, and recommendation are the same.I am grateful for your support and hope you see that your investment has made a difference - not only in Better for you, but better for tens of thousands of my social media and podcast followers, hundreds of my clients and Better Daily community members, and more personally - my faithful wife, my rambunctious boys, and myself.In that spirit I am excited to tell you today to tell you about some major changes that will help us support and encourage on your journey toward Better.Change #1 - This podcast will become a weekly publication in 2023. That means instead of the 5 episode/week shortcast we will publish one episode per week going forward - those episodes will be mostly in the format of interviews with other experts! If you're going to miss our previous format, never fear! We've got you covered, which brings me to change #2.Change #2 - Daily Coaching content will still be available to all who want it. Our first 300 episodes of Better Daily will stay public which means that if you go back to episode 1 of Better Daily with any of your favorite podcasting platforms on a monday and you listen to the next episode on Tuesday and so on, you will have over a year of support -Mindset Monday, Nutrition Tip Tuesday, Wild Winsdays, Word Thursday, and Flex Friday - in your back pocket! How cool is that? "But wait a minute, Alex. What if I want to stay connected to daily coaching advice, have my personal questions answered by an expert, and stay up to date on the latest in Better Mind, Body, and Spirit practices?" GREAT QUESTION! That brings me to change #3!Change #3 - As of 2023, Better Daily Premium members will have exclusive and live access to all of my Daily Coaching Messages AND the opporunity to have their personal questions answered by an expert with 17 years of experience! You can save 30% on your subscription when you pay monthly or over 40% when you pay annually by using the discount code "UPGRADE30" at the browser paywall checkout. Note that Apple and Google apps do not honor the discount code so you WILL have to checkout via your web browser. Instructions and links are in the notes below if you have any trouble. That's "UPGRADE30" to save up to 40% off your Better Daily Premium subscription when you updgrade today! So as a recap, the Better Daily podcast will continue as a 1x/week publication featuring interviews with top leaders in all of the different areas ...

    300 - Hydration
    Jan 6 2023
    Flex Friday

    Hydrating is more than just replenishing water. Let's talk about how to hydrate well!

    Hydration is important for exercise and metabolism because it helps to maintain the balance of fluids in the body. During exercise, the body sweats in order to regulate its temperature, which can lead to fluid loss. If you are not properly hydrated, your body may not have enough fluids to function properly, which can lead to dehydration.Dehydration can have a number of negative effects on exercise and metabolism.

    For example, it can reduce physical performance, increase fatigue, and impair concentration and cognitive function. Dehydration can also affect metabolism by disrupting the normal functioning of the body's metabolic processes, which can lead to an imbalance of electrolytes and other nutrients in the body.To maintain proper hydration during exercise, it is important to drink plenty of fluids before, during, and after physical activity. This can help to prevent dehydration and ensure that your body has the fluids it needs to function properly.

    It is also important to choose the right fluids for hydration, as some drinks (such as sports drinks) can help to replace electrolytes and other nutrients that are lost through sweat. In general, water is the best choice for hydration during exercise, but sports drinks or other electrolyte-replacement beverages may be helpful in certain situations, such as during prolonged or intense exercise or in hot, humid conditions.

  • 299 - FASTING

    299 - FASTING
    Jan 5 2023
    Word Thursday

    Some meditations on the word "Fasting"

    The top 5 benefits of Fasting (AI Generated)
    1. Weight loss: Fasting can help with weight loss by reducing the number of calories consumed. When you fast, you are essentially restricting your intake of food and drinks, which can lead to a reduction in overall calorie intake. This can be especially beneficial if you are trying to lose weight or maintain a healthy weight.
    2. Improved insulin sensitivity: Fasting has been shown to improve insulin sensitivity, which can help to regulate blood sugar levels and reduce the risk of diabetes. Insulin is a hormone that helps your body use glucose (a type of sugar) for energy. When your body is resistant to insulin, it can lead to high blood sugar levels and an increased risk of diabetes.
    3. Increased lifespan: Some studies have suggested that fasting may have anti-aging effects and may increase lifespan. This is thought to be due, in part, to the effects of fasting on insulin sensitivity and the reduction of oxidative stress.
    4. Improved heart health: Fasting may have a number of benefits for heart health, including lowering blood pressure and cholesterol levels. These factors can help to reduce the risk of heart disease and other cardiovascular conditions.
    5. Improved brain function: Fasting may have a number of benefits for brain function, including improving cognitive function and memory. Some studies have also suggested that fasting may have a protective effect against age-related cognitive decline and may even help to reduce the risk of neurological conditions such as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease.
