Not all stress is bad — in fact, some of it is essential for growth. In this episode, we're diving into hormetic stress — the kind of short, controlled stress that makes you more resilient over time. Think cold plunges, lifting heavy, fasting, heat exposure, all the good things in life. It's nature's way of saying: “Hey, adapt or fall behind.” We break down: What hormetic stress actually is (and what it's not) How it's different from chronic stress (spoiler: one builds you up, the other wears you down) Real-life examples you can use today Why recovery is non-negotiable for this kind of stress to actually work Whether you're an athlete, high performer, or just someone who wants to feel stronger in body and mind like myself — this episode is your crash course in becoming more anti-fragile.

What's the best way to bounce back after a brutal workout like Murph? (Spoiler: It's not standing tall like your high school coach told you.) In this episode, we break down what true recovery looks like — and why it's a performance tool, not a timeout. We'll talk about: – Why recovery is active, not passive – The science behind the “hands on knees” recovery position – What your muscles, hormones, and nervous system need after high effort – Red flags that your day-to-day recovery might be falling short Whether you're an everyday athlete or going all in this Memorial Day, this episode will help you train smarter, feel better, and keep showing up strong.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and this episode gets personal. Trevor opens up about his own experience with anxiety, therapy, and what it's like to silently struggle while still showing up for others. We dive into what you don't always see—the functional anxiety, the internal battles, and the mental weight so many carry alone. We also talk facts: how many people are affected by mental health struggles, why it's getting harder to talk about it, and what we can do to support ourselves and each other. Whether you're in it now or walking alongside someone who is, this conversation is real, raw, and needed. You are not alone—and we're in your corner.
That shoulder tweak didn't sneak in overnight. Your back didn't just “go out” for no reason. Pain feels sudden — but it's rarely random. In this episode, we unpack one of the most common things we hear at MVMT: “I didn't do anything — now everything hurts.” We dive into why pain is actually a process, not a single event. You'll learn: Why pain is a signal, not a diagnosis The i3 Pain Model: Incomplete mechanics, micro-incidences, and injury What most traditional PT clinics miss (and how it keeps people stuck) Why real recovery starts with ownership, not just exercises How we help clients move from “I guess I'll just live with it” to “I'm back and stronger than ever” Whether you're a runner, lifter, weekend warrior, or just tired of waking up stiff and sore — this one's for you.
Let's be real — this wasn't the episode I felt like recording today. But maybe that's the exact reason it needed to happen. In this short and honest solo episode, I talk about what to do when the motivation is gone, the spark is missing, and everything (even brushing your teeth) feels like a chore. We'll unpack why waiting to feel inspired is holding you back — and what the research says about how action actually leads to motivation (not the other way around). If you've ever hit a wall in your workouts, routines, or life in general — this one's for you. You don't need to be hyped. You just need to move. Let's talk about what that looks like — and why it matters.
In this episode, we're unpacking (pun intended) the origin story of MVMT Ruck Club — why we started it, who it's for, and what we hope it becomes. It all started with a simple idea: get outside, carry weight, and move with purpose alongside a supportive crew. We dive into the deeper reasons behind the club — from building community and accountability to encouraging people to get uncomfortable (in a good way) and take charge of their health in a low-barrier, high-reward kind of way. Whether you've been curious about rucking or just want a reason to show up and move more, this episode will give you the behind-the-scenes on how it all came together — and why we think it's just the beginning.
Q1 didn't go as planned? You're not alone—and you're not behind. In this episode, we're treating Q2 like the fresh start it is. Whether your goals are about moving more, feeling stronger, managing stress, or simply staying consistent, now's the time to reset with intention. We'll break down: How to reflect on what worked (and what didn't) without the guilt Why aligning your goals with your values leads to lasting results How to simplify your goals into weekly wins that actually fit your life The underrated power of writing things down and taking small steps Why accountability (from your MVMT team, your calendar, or your crew) is key And the truth: motivation follows action—not the other way around
Feeling drained trying to keep up with work, workouts, and, well… life? You're not alone. In this episode, Trev breaks down how to manage your energy when things feel overwhelming—so you're not just getting through the day, but actually thriving.

No fluff, just real talk and practical tips to help you sharpen your mental focus, stay emotionally balanced, and keep your body moving strong. Plus, a moment of gratitude for your support—it's been unbelievable and overwhelming in the best way. So grab a coffee (or your favorite caffeinated drink), tune in, and let's make energy management feel doable - and maybe even enjoyable.
Life has a way of throwing us curveballs, and sometimes it can feel like everything is just too much. I'm opening up about my journey through one of the toughest times in my life, and might get overly vulnerable in this episode. After unexpected loss, I've been trying to find solace in the small, consistent habits I've built over time. These little anchors are keeping me grounded, helping me find a bit strength amidst the storm. From stepping into a cold tub for a few minutes each day to finding joy in reading Harry Potter (again), I'm sharing my personal story of how tiny, manageable habits are helping me cope. I chat about progress over perfection and why habits don't need to be huge undertakings. Whether it's adjusting your course by just a little or combining tasks with Habit Stacking, it's the small, steady steps that truly make a difference. If you're struggling, or even if you're just looking to refine your daily rituals, join me as I discuss how to create and lean on habits that nurture our well-being when life feels overwhelming. When the storms decide to hit, it's these small, consistent actions that help us stay anchored.
