I had the honor of working with Marc David at the Institute for the Psychology of Eating in 2014. His favorite word was ’embody’ and it really became the underlying theme of his program.

We spend a lot of time working on our ‘body’. But, we often forget that our bodies are the embodiment of everything we put into them. Food. Effort. Emotions. Thoughts. Energy.

Look at the definition:

Embody

1. to give a concrete form to; express, personify, or exemplify in concrete form:
   to embody an idea.
2. to provide with a body; incarnate; make corporeal:
   to embody a spirit.
3. to collect into or include in a body; organize; incorporate.
4. to embrace or comprise.

As much as we obsess over our bodies, we also know we can’t take it with us. Most of us won’t be remembered for our physical form, but rather for the characters we choose to embody.

That’s why I’ve named my business mbodie – because we are what we embody. And, we choose.

I love this quote by Epictetus…

Don’t explain your philosophy, embody it.”

Something worth thinking about. What do you want to embody?

Peace and love,

Hi, my name is Tyler Smith. Thank you for visiting my site!

I am so excited to be part of your journey to understanding fitness, nutrition and what you truly need to live a fit, healthy and energized life.

And, thought you might enjoy hearing a bit about my own journey and why I’ve dedicated my life to helping people transform their health.

I guess you could say I have always been drawn to the health and fitness world. I played team sports like volleyball, lacrosse and basketball growing up, and always admired my coaches.

My love of fitness grew over the years. And, the more I learned, the more I wanted to know.

I got certified as a Personal Trainer while I was still in high school and have been training ever since.

I went on to study nutrition in college with the goal of becoming a Registered Dietitian.

It was during that time that I discovered how much food companies influence nutrition education in our country and how little nutrition education our medical professionals receive.

This led to a whole new path for me.

The more I learned about the disconnect between the health industry and the food industry, the more I realized why we have so many health and weight issues. And, why you can’t just workout and have the ‘perfect body’.

I knew that if more people had this information and understood how nutrition works, they could avoid so many of today’s most common health issues and get much more amazing results from their workouts.

But, there is so much conflicting nutrition information out there. How do you figure out the truth? How do you know if the nutrition bar you picked up at the gym is truly healthy? Or whether it’s just there to keep you coming back?

That’s why what I teach my clients is so important. So they can answer those questions for themselves.

We are all on the quest for the ‘perfect diet’ and ‘perfect exercise program’, but it’s so confusing out there. To top it off, we each have very different fitness and dietary needs.

The only way to find what is ‘perfect’ for you is to get to know your own body.

Together we will create a workout program you LOVE, eating foods you LOVE, and living a lifestyle you LOVE! So you not only look healthy & fit, you will mbodie health & fitness.
