Welcome back to another episode of RNT Fitness Radio, and
today I’m joined by Phil Graham, an established sports
nutritionist, author and business mentor for fitness
professionals.
We start the podcast talking about one of Phil’s specialities
– helping diabetics who want to build the healthiest, strongest and
best looking version of themselves through strength training,
healthy eating, mindful living and religious diabetes
management.
Phil’s a type one diabetic, and his why for entering the
fitness industry all stemmed from his desire to control the
diabetes, and not let it hold him back. He went on to compete
successfully in bodybuilding on an international level, and after
having helped 1000s of diabetics achieve their goal, wrote the book
on it, called the Diabetic Muscle and Fitness Guide.
As the episode evolves, we delve into mindset, the increasing
rate of comparison syndrome, and why living by your values is so
critical. For anyone looking to go to the next level in their
health, career, relationships and life, you’re going to enjoy this
episode with Phil.
‘’If you don’t love yourself, then you’ve got to ask why’’
