Episode 162 – The Fast Way to Growth: Justin Aguirre on Discipline and Diet

Welcome to another transformative episode of The Winners Paradigm, I’m your host Alundas Havens, and today we’re delving deep into the potent world of self-restraint for personal growth. Joining us is the incredible health and fitness coach, Justin Aguirre, a man who knows all too well the power of pushing beyond limits. Currently living the life of a digital nomad in Argentina, Aguirre brings to the table his vast experience with fasting and fitness, helping others master their relationships with food and mental health.

In this episode, we’re going to share our personal journeys of fasting and the mental and physical endurance it demands. I’ll be opening up about my current 10-day fast, which I embarked on not only for a six-pack but also for self-improvement and to overcome the feelings of failure from my previous fasting attempts.

Together, we’ll explore the intricate balance between diet, physical appearance, and professional life, breaking down macros and the profound impact of strategic eating on our energy levels and fulfillment. We’ll confront the fear of carbs, the misconceptions of fats, and the discipline required to hold fast to our health goals, even when temptation abounds.

Justin’s coaching philosophy is all about aligning with your definition of success, and he’s here to guide us through that process. So, tighten those earbuds, get ready for a dose of real talk, and let’s welcome, Justin Aguirre to The Winners Paradigm.

Journey to Digital Nomadism: “Just helping people for free, and then it became like, you know what? I should charge. So then Wes ended up helping me with coaching, And then I started my own program, started working online, and then it just grew and grew, and then I started traveling.”
