Season one of the Ingrained & Balanced podcast provided key insights and covered critical components for achieving and maintaining physical and mental wellness. Before the podcast returns for its second season, tune in to this episode to catch up on the themes that Ingrained & Balanced has covered thus far.

Exercise can help people get in shape, but it also requires fuel from the body for energy. But with metabolic efficiency training, people can train their bodies to burn fat as a primary fuel source and improve their ability to utilize this energy efficiently during their workout.

Life has many twists and turns that can significantly impact our wellness – if we let it. But although health adversities and other obstacles can challenge our ability to maintain our fitness, overcoming these issues and getting back on track truly make people winners.

Maintaining healthy habits can be challenging. After all, it isn't easy adjusting to significant lifestyle changes. However, people can ingrain healthy exercise and fitness practices within their daily lives if they begin with small, sustainable habits.

Sometimes it takes experiencing a significant health event to realize the importance of maintaining wellness. A physical condition may result from an unhealthy lifestyle or be a sign that healthy change is necessary. That said, making beneficial habit changes to achieve a healthier and more balanced life can help people overcome their health-related adversities.

In order to stay active and continue participating in the activities you enjoy, you need to maintain your mobility, especially as you age. Fortunately, exercises and other fitness methods and practices can help people of any age increase their mobility and strength, so they can continue living a fulfilling life and pushing past their mental limits.

There is so much information out there about nutrition and wellness that it can be hard to keep up with which info is fact and which is fiction. While health quick fixes are tempting, they usually don't produce long-term success. So what is the best way for people to find and follow healthy practices to maintain their nutritional wellness? The answer may be through continuing education.

Everyone, even professional athletes, must overcome struggles in pursuit of their fitness goals. As a competitive athlete and former Olympic hopeful in luge and speed skating, Patrick Quinn would know. He has led a remarkable life journey experiencing the ups and downs of athletic competition at its highest level, from hockey in college to the US Speedskating program, the US National Luge Team, a national championship, and a World Cup. So what advice can a professional athlete with an extensive past in athletic competitions give about achieving physical and mental wellness?

Everyone experiences changes throughout life, whether due to aging, career developments, new technology, or other lifestyle factors. However, people can maintain physical and mental wellness by positively transforming their wellness habits.

Motivation can be an excellent tool for positive change - until it wears away. Once your fitness motivation is gone, you're left making excuses to avoid workouts and cancel exercise plans. But while your short-term motivation may be fleeting, long-term accountability can help you prioritize your fitness and maintain positive results for the long haul!

As people age, so do their bodies – but that shouldn't mean accepting a life without physical activity. By making healthy changes to their diet, mindset, and habits, people of any age can achieve an active lifestyle and the mental and physical benefits that come with it.

When life presents obstacles, finding the strength to move forward can be challenging. This is especially true during significant health events like a cancer diagnosis. But instead of shutting down during a difficult time, maintaining positivity and a healthy perspective can allow you to continue living your best life.

People often practice physical fitness to optimize their strength and performance. However, some swear by fitness training for providing various additional benefits. From injury correction to prevention, the right physical fitness may help you improve your resiliency and alleviate your chronic pain. So how exactly does it work?

Every day we eat food, which fuels our bodies and gives us energy. However, it can be easy to forget just how vital our dietary choices are to our overall health. So how can we stay mindful of the food we consume, and what beneficial habits should we incorporate to improve our gut health and overall wellness?
