The Dr. Joey Munoz Show

Ever go into the gym, lift weights, and wonder if you are actually making progress? You are not alone. One of the most common questions I get is how to know when it is the right time to increase weight, add reps, or push harder in a workout. The truth is, most people are just guessing, which leads to randomness and stalled results. In this episode, I break down a simple strategy we use with our clients at Fit for Life Academy called dynamic double progression. It takes the guesswork out of training by giving you a clear and flexible system to track your progress and know exactly when to make adjustments. We cover why progressive overload is essential, what it really means to do more over time, and how to apply this system to your own workouts to build strength and muscle consistently. If you have ever felt stuck or unsure whether you are training effectively, this episode will give you the clarity and structure you need to move forward with confidence.

Ever wonder why fat loss feels harder during perimenopause, or whether glucose spikes from fruit are something you should worry about if you are not diabetic? In this Q and A episode, I answer three important questions that come up all the time. We start with how perimenopause affects fat loss, and what you can actually do about stubborn belly fat when hormones are shifting, sleep is disrupted, and muscle loss starts to pick up. Then we talk about fiber, what it actually does for your health, and how to hit your daily target without overthinking it. And finally, I get into the truth about blood sugar spikes and continuous glucose monitors for non diabetics, and why most of the content you see online about them is just noise. If you have ever felt overwhelmed by conflicting advice or confused about what actually matters, this episode is going to clear a lot up for you.

What would it take to completely rebuild your health, confidence, and mindset after struggling with weight for years, battling PCOS, and being told surgery was your only option? In this episode, I sit down with Jazmin to talk about her powerful transformation. From dealing with hormonal challenges and hitting her heaviest weight to losing over 100 pounds, reversing pre-diabetes, and completing a triathlon, her journey is nothing short of inspiring.

Ever look back and realize how much your beliefs about fitness have changed over the years? In this episode, I share three core beliefs I used to hold about nutrition, training, and balancing fitness with a busy life—and why I've completely outgrown them. We'll talk about why focusing only on calories got me stuck in a yo-yo cycle, how more training wasn't always better, and why managing your health and fitness with kids and a full-time job is a lot more possible than I once believed.

Everyone says you need to “eat healthy” but what does that actually mean? And more importantly… how do you do it in a way that's sustainable? In this episode, I break down the five core principles of a healthy and sustainable diet without the fads, extremes, or rigid food rules. We'll talk about why most diets fail to meet basic nutritional needs, how to regulate hunger without relying on willpower, and why enjoying the way you eat is essential if you want long-term success. We'll also cover how to align your diet with your specific goals whether it's fat loss, muscle gain, or just better health and why building a flexible sustainable approach is the key to actually sticking with it. If you've ever felt overwhelmed trying to figure out what “healthy eating” really looks like or you've been stuck in the cycle of losing weight and regaining it this episode will give you clarity and a framework that actually works.

Is it really possible to lose fat and build muscle at the same time—or is that just wishful thinking? In this episode, I break down the science behind body recomposition and what it actually takes to improve your body composition without having to pick between fat loss or muscle gain. Spoiler: yes, it's possible—but only if you're optimizing the right things. I walk you through exactly how to do it, including the biggest training mistakes people make (and how to fix them), how to adjust your calories depending on your main goal, why protein and carbs matter more than you think, and how things like sleep, stress, and even alcohol can make or break your progress. If you've been spinning your wheels trying to get leaner and stronger but feel stuck in the middle, this episode will give you the clarity you need.

If you've ever felt like you've tried everything—calorie tracking, different diets, running regularly—and still couldn't keep the weight off… this episode is going to hit home. In today's conversation, I sat down with Nate, a father of four and full-time professional who struggled with yo-yo dieting for over 20 years. He always saw himself as “the fat kid,” even after running dozens of races and trying multiple coaching programs. But this past year, everything changed. Nate lost over 30 pounds, improved his relationship with food, built muscle, and—maybe most importantly—finally felt in control of his health. No more quick fixes. No more guilt. Just steady, sustainable progress he can actually maintain. We talked about the mindset shifts that made all the difference, the sneaky habits that kept him stuck for so long, and how he's now leading by example for his kids. Tune in to hear his story—you might just see yourself in it.

Most people focus so much on what they eat that they completely overlook when they eat—and that might be the reason they're stuck. In this episode, I break down the science of nutrient timing and why it can make a huge difference when it comes to fat loss, hunger regulation, and long-term consistency. We're not just talking about calories—we're talking about habits. You'll learn why eating a big breakfast (yes, really), sticking to consistent meal times, and avoiding late-night snacking might be the simplest, most effective changes you can make to feel better and see better results. If you've ever struggled with cravings, overeating at night, or feeling like fat loss is harder than it should be, this episode will give you practical strategies you can actually use. Tune in now—you might be surprised by how much timing matters.

What does it really take to transform your fitness and lifestyle when you're balancing a demanding career, a family, and everything else life throws at you? In this episode, I sit down with AJ Gracely to dive into his journey of building serious strength, gaining muscle, improving his nutrition, and reshaping his habits—all while working 50+ hours a week and being a father of three. We talk about why more effort doesn't always equal better results, how letting go of perfectionism with food helped him stay consistent, and why smarter training (not just harder training) changed everything. AJ's story is packed with powerful lessons on self-awareness, structure, and building a lifestyle that actually supports your goals long term.

Ever feel like your past is holding you back? Like no matter how much you want to change, you're stuck repeating the same patterns? In this episode, I'm sharing parts of my story I rarely talk about—growing up in a broken home, dealing with abuse, struggling with school, battling self-doubt—and how I somehow ended up with a PhD, a family I love, and a life I never thought was possible. I'm breaking down the three biggest lessons that completely changed my life: why your past doesn't define your future, how becoming brutally honest with yourself can open doors you didn't even know existed, and why confidence isn't something you're born with—it's something you build.

Think diet and exercise are the key to fat loss and muscle growth? Think again. Most people don't realize that poor sleep could be the reason they're struggling to see results.

In this week's podcast episode, I break down the science of fat loss—not just the importance of a calorie deficit, but how your body actually processes and burns energy.  We dive into what calories really are, how your body converts food into energy, and why understanding energy balance is crucial for sustainable weight loss.  I also tackle common fat loss misconceptions, like whether hormones override calories, why eating "clean" doesn't guarantee weight loss, and why some people think they're in a deficit but aren't seeing results.  Plus, I give you a step-by-step guide to setting up your calories and macros, tracking progress effectively, and adjusting when needed—so you can lose fat without extreme diets or frustration.  If you've ever been confused about fat loss or struggled to see results, this episode will give you the clarity you need.
