Maybe It's Your Personality (feat. Mike Millner)

Episode Summary

Why is it that our friends love one workout and we can't stand that one but love another? Feel like you get bored easily with your food? Or maybe you're one of those people who could eat the same thing every day and never get bored? Turns out, none of these are coincidences and they actually have a foundation in science. For real! Mike Millner joins Jenn to discuss neurotype training and how we can work WITH our personalities to find our personal optimal plan. Even better? This explains why we haven't stuck with some plans in the past and why we like a different workout than our friends. Key takeaway: There's nothing wrong with you!!!!
