So mom looking in the mirror and saying, you know, even under her breath, oh my God, I'm so fat. Or looking at a picture with her family. Oh my God, look how fit I was there. I'm so gross now or whatever. The child hears that and starts to adopt it. And the same is true for your behaviors with activity, with nutrition. I remember having this conversation with a client myself.

This woman had hired me and I had been training her for maybe three or four months. And she had come in with her kid. And oftentimes I would have clients bring their kids to the workouts. I used to own a private studio. And he never wanted that to prevent people from exercising. It was my studio. I didn't mind it. I love kids anyway. It was small, so it never didn't really get in the way.

So I tell my clients, hey, if you need to bring your kid, you can go and bring your kid and we'll set them over here and I'll make sure that they have fun while we work out type of deal. So she brought her son who was I think it was like 10. And he comes in with chicken nuggets from McDonald's, which I didn't even think twice about. I'm not watching it and judging.

A lot of people think trainers judge everybody. That's not the case. She just brought him in. He was sitting there. But she came to me and she said, Sal, can you now please tell my son why he shouldn't be eating this? And she put me on the spot. And so I looked at the kid and I said, you know, there's other good options. And then I kind of changed it. I said, you like those.

They taste good, right? He's like, yeah. I said, okay, cool. And so changed the subject, moved away. And then I looked at the mom and I said, who bought those for him? And she said, I did. And I said, this is not an issue with your child making the wrong decisions. He's being provided these options. And so, and you know, she... She looked at me and kind of understood it.

But really, it's about being the example yourself. When you have two healthy parents in a home, the odds that the children will be healthy are astronomically high. When you have two unhealthy parents in a home, the odds that the children will be unhealthy are also astronomically high. And this is why they try to say it's genetics. Well, obesity is genetics, which is actually false.

There are genetics that can contribute to whether you gain more or less weight, but obesity as we know it is not genetic. It's a relatively modern phenomenon, and it follows families because of the behaviors of the people that lead the families, the parents.
