Client Assessment and Digestive Health

Okay. So, like some of the stuff we're looking for is probably what's the most important thing to their progress other than training, which is how are you sleeping? Are you sleeping okay? How many hours? At what time do you get in the bed? What time do you wake up? Do you need the alarm clock to wake up or do you just wake up naturally? Do you wake up a bunch of times to pee? That's huge. We also look at, let's look at a dietary recall. But after 20 years of this, I'm hesitant to take people's word for their dietary recall because they usually give you the two best days of the week and they don't tell you about all the other shit that they don't want you to know about, like all the binging and all that stuff. We want to know, like we do a huge, we do two different digestive and assimilation questionnaires. And the reason is, is because we normally will see stuff on one that was a negative, but then we see a positive on the other one So if you ever done like the what is the Briggs like personality testing type of stuff And you like fuck they asked me the same question like 400 times but they ask it in a different way every time That's kind of how our digestive questionnaires go. Because at the end of the day, like when you look at food, food is not really technically fuel. It's pre-fuel. The body does not run on carbohydrates. The body doesn't run on sugar. It doesn't run on fat. It doesn't run on amino acids. It's what that stuff is broken down into, which is what the body actually truly runs on. And so you have to start looking at, okay, here's the calories, here's the macros. Is that stuff actually getting into circulation appropriately? Cool. Okay, that's good. now is that stuff actually being turned into things that my body can use chemically to make energy yes no maybe so we need to figure out what's going on there so that there's all the stuff that we ask revolves around basically what's on your plate okay how are you chewing it how are you digesting it how are you assimilating it and is it actually getting turned into usable energy And then are you eliminating it by, you know, pooping and that type of thing? So that's basically our questionnaires revolve around pooping, you know. That's awesome. So you just touched, you mentioned before the Myers-Briggs. In terms of working with people, I guess, compliance is a huge part of it. Getting people to do what is going to make them healthier and better in the long term. Is there any approach that you use to get, I guess, better compliance? And I guess we talked about it before in terms of habits and not, you know, taking things away from them necessarily that they're going to force them into a binge cycle. Is there, I guess, a communication style or coaching style that you assess for the individual?
