Are you giving yourself too long to achieve your metabolic health goals?

Many people believe that giving yourself more time will make the process easier, but this often leads to procrastination and frustration. Your timeframe is likely longer than it needs to be, and it’s time to collapse it. To be clear, I’m *not* suggesting we rush fat loss itself. Instead, we’ll learn how setting shorter, focused deadlines can accelerate progress and improve results.

In this episode, I’ll show you how collapsing your timeline can energize you, push you out of your comfort zone, and help you achieve more in less time. Join me to explore strategies for collapsing your timeline and making the most of each day. Plus, we’ll cover key questions to shift you into a get-it-done-today mentality!
