The talk — BIL 2015 Vancouver

When you were a kid did you dream about parachuting into the jungle and single handedly subverting the rebel forces to save the world? No? Well then I guess we’re little different… And that’s OK! If adrenaline isn’t your thing I bet you want to still look great naked. In reality I don’t actually want to go and risk my life, but I like the idea of being an athletic machine. The problem is, in our society it’s really easy to get stuck in a rut where you eat garbage and don’t exercise. If you’re being chased by a lion, you don’t really have a choice. But when exercising and eating right is an OPTION, how can you make yourself do it without simply gritting your teeth and relying on willpower? Come to my talk and learn the psychology behind changing your lifestyle so healthy decisions become effortless.
