Podcast appearances and mentions of bruce pitcher

In this episode of The Roller Coaster Podcast, I sat down with someone whose story shook me to my core, Bruce Pitcher. You might know him from Extreme Weight Loss, but trust me, that's just the surface.Bruce's journey is one of the most raw and powerful I've ever heard. From surviving childhood sexual abuse by his own father, who was later convicted and imprisoned, to living through years of silence, shame, and suicidal thoughts, Bruce opens up about the pain, the survival mode, and the uphill battle to rebuild his life.But this is not a story of defeat. It's one of redemption. Bruce lost over 200 pounds, built a coaching empire, became a father, and, more than anything, reclaimed his identity. In this conversation, he shares the emotional moment his suicide attempt failed and how that “failure” saved his life.If you've ever felt broken, unseen, or stuck in your past, this episode is a reminder that belief, especially when it's hard to hold onto, is the most powerful thing you can have.This one is heavy. It's honest. And it just might change how you see yourself.Key Moments.0:00 The Day the Police Took My Dad1:16 A Son's Desperate Need for Love7:01 Why Victims Stay Silent13:07 I Found Comfort in Food15:07 God Had a Plan, Even Through the Pain24:24 This Letter Changed My Life29:18 It's the Little Victories That Matter Most33:14 I Gained Weight Again, But I'm Not Hiding36:21 The Day I Tried to End My Life43:17 My Addiction Is Food45:25 What I Want My Son to RememberGuest Info.Instagram: @brucepitcher (https://www.instagram.com/brucepitcher/)YouTube:  ⁨@brucethepit⁩ (https://www.youtube.com/user/brucethepit)-Where to find Tyler Hall: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tylerchall/ Newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/the-tyler-hall-archives-7018241874482122753/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/sirTHALL Work with Tyler: https://www.tylerchristianhall.com/

On this episode of Heidi's Lane, my good friend Bruce Pitcher interviews me, and it's as real as it gets. We cut through the BS to talk about the stuff that genuinely matters: The highs and lows of life, the importance of true friendships, and the rough road to self-acceptance.  There's laughter and a few raw, maybe uncomfortable truths, as Bruce and his co-host Corey navigate this deep dive into vulnerability and strength found in the least expected places.  This isn't your polished, picture-perfect podcast episode; it's about the messy, challenging, and utterly rewarding journey of life.  So, buckle up and join us for a conversation that's all about embracing the chaos and finding beauty in our imperfections.

Once I fixed my mindset, I became unstoppable.”    Find more from Bruce:   Instagram: @brucepitcher  Book: Larger Than Life

What is the difference between people who lose weight and keep it off versus those who regain the weight just a few months later? The difference in those who keep the weight off is they keep the promises they make to themselves. They live in integrity with what they want from life.

Sometime last year my good friend Bruce Pitcher told me about this Fit2Fat2Fit guy that gained a bunch of weight and then lost it.  It wasn't until this interview that I understood the full story behind why Drew Manning did this.  Talk about dedication to your craft!  This guy gained 75 lbs and lost it so that he could relate to his overweight clients better.  Wow.   He and I both agree that the diet and training aren't nearly the biggest factors to successful transformation.  We spend the majority of the time talking about the emotional side. We talked about the highs and lows of his experiment and how he uses that to relate to his clients today.   In this episode you'll learn:   -Drew's original inspiration for the whole experiment   -His diet he used to gain 75lbs of fat   -His diet and training he used to lose it all    -The emotional challenges that come with losing weight   -What he learned about people losing weight, and how trainers can use it to help their clients   Check out the Fit 2 Fat 2 Fit website.     Also check out the Dollar Workout Club, where you pay $1/week for tons of free workouts and content that you can do at your house.  There is literally no excuse to not train when there are resources like this out there. 

What a burst of energy this guy is. Bruce Pitcher and Drew met on Season 3 of Extreme Weight Loss (EWL). Bruce’s story is so touching, so potent and so raw it impacts everyone who hears it. After years of hiding a secret about his father, Bruce gradually gained weight until he reached 410 lbs. Becoming a participant on EWL changed Bruce’s life forever. He found unbridled support from the fitness coaches which helped him to turn his health around. He now works on fitness boot camps, speaks motivationally and encourages people with his voracious energy to take continue on their journey to better health.   Key Takeaways: [4:15] Bruce and Drew met on a mind-blowing episode of Extreme Weight Loss [6:08] Bruce’s memories of his father’s arrest and his suicide attempt [13:03] Weight started piling on quickly and I weighed as much as 410 pounds [14:47] Feeling the love from people on the show gave me the confidence to confront my dad [17:57] Chris made me realize I didn’t keep the promises I made to myself [20:28] Tommy is a Crossfit freak and everybody should be lifting weights [26:25] Knowing your “why” behind your fitness goals [31:34] Bruce’s energy is contagious [32:43] The naked squat in front of the mirror and 3 random positive comments before 10 am [33:58] Meal prep is a daily habit which can push you in the right directions [36:51] What supplements does Bruce take [39:24] Bruce’s goal for next year  [40:10] Lynn doesn’t enjoy Crossfit, just keep your Crossfit talk to yourself [42:54] The Lightning Round [44:34] Chris & Heidi Powell impressions [46:47] Some random fitness talk which includes frams [48:34] Contact info for Bruce   Mentions: Quest Nutrition Dollar Workout Club Destination Boot Camp Bodpod @brucepitcher Bruce Pitcher on FB Fit2Fat2Fit 2Fitathome @2fitathome @fit2fat2fit  

This week's interview is with Bruce Pitcher. Obviously watching any of the weight loss shows such as “Biggest Loser” and “Extreme Weight Loss” are impressive and inspiring.  I had honestly never paid much attention to the people’s actual stories.  I had a naïve, almost mean view of people that were extremely overweight.  I thought they were just lazy, weak people that chose not to put the fork down.  Then I watched Bruce Pitcher’s episode of Extreme Weight Loss, and I couldn’t have been more wrong. Bruce’s story is one of pain and destruction, abandonment, shame, and anger. Eating was a coping mechanism.  What Bruce overcame was way more than losing 200lbs in a year.  He conquered his demons.  I hope every one of you can gain some perspective and inspiration from this show.  Enjoy.
