Cut The Crap With Beth And Matt

Alcohol. A polarizing word in itself. Everyone has an alcohol related story, even if you've never personally drank. This week we are talking with Danny Matranga, CSCS, BSc about the impact of alcohol on our health.

Alcohol is so ingrained in our society that simply mentioning the harmful effects it has on our health can start an all out war in the comments section of any video.

Today we aim to give you the unbiased truth about alcohol and the role it plays in your life. We aren't here to tell you whether to drink or not, we want you to be educated on the topic so you can make your own decision. So let's get into it!

Happy Friday! We're back with another guest, this week we are chatting with Annie Ellis! Annie is a Menopause Nutrition & Relationship w/ Food Coach and we're chatting all things menopause! Annie teaches you how to ditch yo-yo diets & find food freedom & confidence without giving up on your fat loss or health goals in menopause.

Menopause can be a confusing time of women's lives and there is so much misinformation out there and people trying to sell you products that claim will cure your menopause symptoms. We sift through the bullshit for you and help you understand what you need to be doing to navigate menopause with your best self!

This week you are in for a doozy. We welcome back a good friend of the show, Dr. Josh Smith! We dive into the world of ADHD as Beth, Matt, and Josh share their own unique experiences with ADHD.

Some people have always known they have ADHD while others have only recently learned this about themselves, there's something in this episode for everyone!

Hell, writing this description alone took multiple attempts spread across 8 hours!

We are back with a new episode and we are joined by friend of the show, Jimmy Hallinan! Jimmy is a High School Teacher and Online Coach. We dive into a lively discussion about nutrition & health education in high school and the challenges faced by teenagers in todays environment.

The conversation also covered the Real Coaches Summit in Las Vegas and Beth's first ever public talk!

Whatsup everyone!! This week we are playing a Cut The Crap Select episode featuring Dr. Gabrielle Fundaro. We have been hearing a lot about gut health lately so we wanted to share this interview for those that need to hear it. Enjoy! Original air date: December 16th, 2022.

What The Gut Health?! This week we are joined by Dr. Gabrielle Fundaro. Gabrielle holds a PhD in Human Nutrition, Foods, and Exercise! Gut health is a hot topic at the moment. It’s also one that’s in it’s infancy in regards to knowledge and understanding and though there is excitement in regards to how practitioners may be able to apply understanding beneficially, contrary to many internet claims, there are still a lot of unknowns.

This is where professionals like Dr. Fundaro come in and we’re so glad she did! During this weeks show she provided vast information and answered many questions.

• What is gut health?
• What is actually known vs the claims often made?
• How important is fiber?
• What are probiotics and when and why should be incorporate them?
• Is there a gut/brain connection?

This interview was nothing short of amazing and filled with so much incredible information that a note pad and pen or multiple listens may be required to fully appreciate the density of knowledge she provided.

Sit down, strap in, and get your coffee ready.

Whatsup! This week we're kicking things off by talking about Beth's upcoming speaking engagement at Real Coaches Summit in Las Vegas! The convo then turns to Beth's road trip down to Florida and how she managed to get 10k steps a day while on the road all day. This led to a discussion about achieving 10k steps as a goal and how it can be attained!

Replay alert! This holiday season we can all use the reminder to not waste our time and energy on things that don't matter. So this week we are replaying a favorite episode of ours to deliver that reminder! **Original Episode # 62 - Are You Majoring In The Minors? **

Are you focusing on sh*t that really doesn't matter? Which fat burner should you use? Which protein shake is the best? Should you worry about meal timing? Should you hop on one foot while spinning around in circles and humming the alphabet while doing a squat? This is what we call majoring in the minors, and it's one of the reasons why you aren't getting the results you're looking for. Tune into this episode to start focusing on the things that actually matter for your health & fitness!
