oin Lawrence Herrera in the third eye-opening episode of the "Live Life Beyond the Gym Walls Podcast," where we delve deep into the battlefield of nutrition and self-control. Lawrence confronts the all-too-familiar foes: insatiable cravings for sweets, the crunch of salty snacks, and the secretive lure of late-night binge eating. But this is more than a confession; it's a strategic breakdown of the fight back to consistency, starting with a revelation about protein intake.
In this episode, Lawrence shares his own experience with food tracking, an empowering tool that reshaped his understanding of serving sizes and protein consumption. Discover the transformative "Fuel Plan" app, an evolution of nutritionist Jess Brown's vision, and how it can redefine your relationship with food.
The narrative takes a heartfelt turn as Lawrence gets personal, recounting a sobriety journey that began with an accident in 2001 and traversed through years of tribulations. He opens up about the unique challenge of alcohol abstinence, particularly as a Native American, and the mental resilience it demands.
Find out how Lawrence has sculpted a new lifestyle influenced by Dr. Gabrielle Lyon's "Forever Strong" ethos, emphasizing a balanced equation of protein, carbs, and fats for total energy needs. He divulges his trick for indulgence—a ~200-calorie "fun food" treat—without derailing his nutrition goals, and the significance of meticulous hydration through water and electrolytes.
But it's not just about what he eats—Lawrence shares his vigorous daily exercise regime that switches between HIIT, MTB rides, rucking, strength training, and nightly mobility sessions, emphasizing the need to keep the body in motion.
