"Limitless - 2" with Tricia Yap

My guest on the podcast this week is Tricia Yap. This is the second time Tricia has been a guest on the podcast. Previously she featured in episode “131 in December of 2023”. Tricia has been in the fitness industry for closer to two decades. As a strength and performance coach Tricia loves working with Martial Arts athletes and with women in their mid 40’s and beyond.  In this podcast we focus on “Limitless”, where Functional Medicine meets Physical Fitness. Tricia assists her clients to get closer to optional health. We discuss the onboarding process for new clients who undertake a Physical and Structural assessment, a Lifestyle assessment, a Nutritional assessment. The onboarding includes an extended interview to know, amongst other things, who is the client, why are they seeking assistance and how have they become the way they are today. Tricia goes into detail on the four function medicine priorities, Blood Sugar, Detox, Adrenal and Gut and how the client program is decided depending on the client priority. At Limitless Tricia explains how they leverage testing to understand the root cause of client issues. How you can eat more and lose weight, how losing weight is more complex than the often quoted “Calories In Calories Out” formula for weight loss.  There are many insights shared by Tricia in the podcast like being consistent with your habits and practices at just 30-50% can get a result and being consistent at 80% will yield significant results. The podcast is full of great “Takeaways”.Timing  00:36 I’ve been in the fitness industry for closer to 2 decades, a life long passion… I’m a strength and performance coach….
