The FYX 216: Why Everyone's Advice Feels Wrong for Your Life (And How to Fix It)
Manage episode 500218926 series 2859174
You're already getting 10K steps, hitting your protein goals, and trying to be a morning person—so why do you still feel like you're failing? Krysta breaks down the uncomfortable truth about why generic advice leaves you more frustrated than when you started, and gives you a simple three-question filter to transform any advice into something that actually works for your real life.
In this episode we dive into:
• Why following someone else's exact plan is setting you up for failure
• The three-question litmus test that reveals if advice will actually work for you
• How to modify recommendations without losing their effectiveness
• Why jumping from plan to plan keeps you stuck in the same cycle
The Problem with One-Size-Fits-All Solutions
• You're consuming endless content telling you what to do, but none of it considers your actual season of life
• The advice isn't necessarily bad—it's just coming from someone else's context, priorities, and resources
• When you can't execute it perfectly, you convince yourself you're the problem instead of questioning the fit
• You lose confidence in your ability to make decisions that actually align with your lifestyle
The Real Reason Advice Doesn't Stick
• Most recommendations come from someone's personal success story, not universal principles
• The gap between a 22-year-old influencer's reality and a working mom's reality creates impossible expectations
• You try to force-fit strategies into your life instead of adapting them to work with your constraints
• Impatience with the adjustment period leads to premature abandonment of potentially effective approaches
Your Personal Advice Filter System
• Question one: Does this advice fit my current lifestyle and season of life?
• Question two: Does this advice align with my actual values, not what I think they should be?
• Question three: Can I realistically see myself doing this for the next six months?
• If it doesn't check all three boxes, modify it until it does or skip it entirely
This conversation reminds us that there's no award for following someone's plan exactly—the only thing that matters is what you can actually stick with long enough to see results. Whether you're drowning in conflicting fitness advice or feeling like nothing works for your unique situation, this episode offers the framework to stop jumping from plan to plan and start building something sustainable.
