In this episode of Your Next Level Podcast, Coach Pat breaks down the truth about returning to fitness in your 30s, especially if you keep asking yourself, “I did it before, why can't I do it now?”He explains why you are not lazy, weak, or broken. Your life is different now. Your body, stress levels, hormones, metabolism, recovery, responsibilities, identity, and priorities have changed. What worked in your 20s may not work the same way in your 30s, 40s, or 50s because you are no longer playing the same game.Coach Pat breaks down the comparison trap and why using your past body, past results, or past weight loss speed as the benchmark can steal your joy and make you feel like you are failing, even when you are making progress.Instead of trying to recreate the version of you from 10 years ago, Coach Pat explains how to build a new version of health that fits your life today. He talks about why recovery matters more than ever, why stress management has to come before adding more training, why extreme diets can accelerate burnout, and why sustainability beats aggressive tactics every time.This episode is for anyone who feels frustrated that their body is not responding like it used to, especially busy women, mums, nurses, entrepreneurs, leaders, and anyone juggling work, family, relationships, stress, and fitness at the same time.Coach Pat also gives a practical framework for getting results in this stage of life: protein first, three resistance-based workouts per week, better recovery, simpler food decisions, less extreme dieting, and smarter stress management.Key Takeaways:You are not lazy, your life is different now.The comparison trap can make progress feel invisible.Your 20s body and your 30s body are not in the same environment.Cortisol, stress, recovery, and hormones can affect your results.Extreme diets may have worked before, but they may not serve you now.Protein comes first, not restriction.Three 40-minute resistance workouts per week can be enough.Cardio alone does not shape your body the way resistance training does.Manage your stress load before increasing your training load.Sustainability beats aggressive weight loss tactics every time.And don't forget to follow and subscribe to my social media accounts.https://www.tiktok.com/@patrickhongfit https://www.instagram.com/patrickhongfit/ https://www.facebook.com/patrick.hong.7/If you need 1 on 1 coaching, DM “Coaching” on IG.#FitnessAfter30 #WeightLossAfter30 #WomenOver30Fitness #StrengthTraining #ProteinFirst #StressAndWeightLoss #YourNextLevelPodcast #CoachPat
In this episode of Your Next Level Podcast, Coach Pat breaks down what to do when life gets hard and your body starts paying the price, especially if you are struggling with consistency, emotional eating, stress, bloating, weight fluctuations, long shifts, low energy, and feeling like you have fallen off track.He explains why you are not lazy, you are mentally overloaded. When family stress, work pressure, sick leave, 12-hour shifts, poor sleep, and emotional weight start building up, your willpower runs low and the habits that are hardest to protect are usually the first ones to go.Instead of pushing harder, punishing yourself, or trying to make up for missed workouts, Coach Pat explains why you need a practical game plan. He breaks down the minimum effective dose for fitness, how to stay consistent during messy weeks, why 15–20 minute workouts still count, and how steps, sleep, protein, water, journaling, and recovery can help you rebuild momentum.This episode is for anyone who feels stuck, bloated, stressed, overwhelmed, or frustrated with the scale. Coach Pat also explains why your weight can fluctuate 2–5 pounds from water retention, sodium, hormones, cortisol, stress, sleep quality, and your environment, and why that does not mean you gained body fat overnight.Key Takeaways:You are not lazy, you may be overloaded.Mental load can drain your willpower.Emotional eating is not a character flaw.Hard weeks require a minimum effective dose.Scale weight can fluctuate from stress, sleep, hormones, and water.Steps, sleep, protein, water, and routine help rebuild momentum.Consistency does not mean perfection during messy weeks.And don't forget to follow and subscribe to my social media accounts.https://www.tiktok.com/@patrickhongfithttps://www.instagram.com/patrickhongfit/https://www.facebook.com/patrick.hong.7/If you need 1 on 1 coaching, DM “Coaching” on IG.
In this episode of Your Next Level Podcast, Coach Pat breaks down how poor sleep may be keeping you stuck, especially if you are trying to lose fat, build muscle, improve energy, and change your body composition.He explains why doing more workouts, cutting more calories, or removing carbs is not always the answer when your sleep quality is poor. Coach Pat breaks down how sleep deprivation affects hunger hormones, cravings, cortisol, insulin resistance, belly fat, recovery, muscle retention, and long-term fat-loss results.Instead of pushing harder and relying on willpower, Coach Pat explains why sleep needs to become part of your fat-loss strategy. He shares how poor sleep can make you eat more, lose less fat, lose more muscle, and feel like you are doing everything right while still not seeing the results you want.This episode is for anyone who is training hard, tracking calories, eating protein, trying to lose belly fat, or feeling stuck in a weight-loss plateau despite doing the right things. Coach Pat gives practical fixes you can start using right away to improve your sleep quality, recovery, hunger control, and results.Key Takeaways:Poor sleep makes fat loss harder.Sleep deprivation increases hunger and cravings.Bad sleep can raise cortisol and affect belly fat.You may lose more muscle and less fat when sleep is poor.Recovery happens while you sleep, not during workouts.A consistent wake-up time helps improve sleep quality.Cooler rooms, less screen time, and protein before bed can help.Caffeine too late in the day can disrupt sleep.Sleep is not laziness it is part of the fat-loss process.And don't forget to follow and subscribe to my social media accounts.https://www.tiktok.com/@patrickhongfit https://www.instagram.com/patrickhongfit/ https://www.facebook.com/patrick.hong.7/If you need 1 on 1 coaching, DM “Coaching” on IG.
In this episode of Your Next Level Podcast, Coach Pat breaks down which fat-loss supplements are actually worth your money and which ones are mostly marketing. He explains why the supplement industry is built around bold claims, why fat burners and detox teas often overpromise, and why supplements should only support your lifestyle not replace it.Instead of chasing quick fixes, Coach Pat explains that fat loss starts with the basics: water intake, protein, walking, workouts, sleep, stress management, food quality, and consistency. He reminds listeners that supplements are only a small part of the equation, and that no supplement can fix a broken lifestyle.This episode is for anyone who has spent money on fat burners, detox teas, collagen, CLA, appetite suppressants, or random supplements hoping they would speed up fat loss. Coach Pat shares what to avoid, what to keep, and how to use supplements as tools for recovery, muscle retention, energy, and long-term sustainability.Key Takeaways:The supplement industry is driven by marketing, and fat-loss labels often sound more powerful than they really are.Fat burners are not magic. Most rely on caffeine or small-effect ingredients.Supplements are only a small part of fat loss. Habits come first.No supplement can fix poor nutrition, low movement, bad sleep, or high stress.Detox teas do not burn fat. They mostly cause water loss.CLA may not be worth the cost for such small results.Appetite suppressants can backfire by causing cravings and rebound hunger.Collagen has benefits, but it is not a fat-loss supplement.Protein powder is useful because it helps you hit your protein target.Creatine supports strength, performance, and muscle retention.Vitamin D, magnesium, omega-3, and caffeine can help when used properly.The real goal is sustainability, not the fastest supplement.And don't forget to follow and subscribe to my social media accounts.https://www.tiktok.com/@patrickhongfithttps://www.instagram.com/patrickhongfit/https://www.facebook.com/patrick.hong.7/If you need 1 on 1 coaching, DM “Coaching” on IG.

He breaks down the three non-negotiables that keep you on track: protein at every meal, 8,000 to 10,000 steps a day, and prioritizing sleep.This episode is for anyone who travels often, works long days, eats out regularly, or feels like their progress disappears whenever life gets busy. Coach Pat reminds listeners that the goal is not perfection. The goal is creating a fitness system that works in any environment.Key Takeaways:Willpower is not the real issue. Coach Pat explains why most people fall off track when their environment changes.Protein comes first. One simple rule can make eating on the go much easier.Steps still count. Even without your normal gym, movement can keep you progressing.Sleep changes everything. Coach Pat explains why poor sleep can make healthy choices harder.Skipping meals can backfire. Waiting too long to eat often leads to bigger mistakes later.Travel needs a plan. Airports, hotels, restaurants, and fast food all require better default choices.Alcohol needs boundaries. A simple rule before the first drink can save you from regret later.Consistency is not perfection. It is learning how to make better choices in any environment.Your environment does not control your results.

In this episode of Your Next Level Podcast, Coach Pat breaks down why you can be working hard in your fitness journey and still feel like your body is not changing.Instead of blaming laziness or lack of discipline, this episode looks at the hidden mistakes that keep people stuck, exhausted, and frustrated even when they think they are doing everything right.Coach Pat challenges the “do more” mindset and explains why real progress comes from having the right structure, recovery, and plan for your actual life — not from chasing quick fixes or copying what everyone else is doing.This is a powerful episode for anyone who feels stuck in their weight loss journey, tired of starting over, or confused about why their effort is not turning into results.Key TakeawaysMore is not always better.

In this episode of Your Next Level Podcast, Coach Pat breaks down how to get the most out of your training sessions without overcomplicating fitness or burning yourself into the ground. Instead of constantly chasing the “best” workout plan, this episode shifts the focus to what actually creates results: consistency, recovery, effort management, and staying with one plan long enough to let it work.Coach Pat explains that most people are not under-trained. They are under-recovered and overcomplicated. More often, the issue is not the workout program itself, but the relationship people have with the program. His message is clear: the best training plan is not the hardest or most advanced one, it is the one you can sustain long enough to see real progress.The conversation explores the biggest mistakes people make in training: program hopping, pushing every workout at 100% intensity, and ignoring the signals their body is giving them. Coach Pat explains why results come from adaptation, and adaptation requires repetition, patience, and recovery. He also shares a more practical path built around respecting the intention of each session, using the 80/20 rule of effort, treating warm-ups as non-negotiable, and tracking how you feel along with what you lift.This is a strong episode for listeners interested in strength training, fat loss, workout consistency, recovery, mindset, and long-term fitness progress. It is especially relevant for anyone who feels stuck in the cycle of starting over, changing programs too quickly, or training hard without seeing the results they know they are capable of. Coach Pat also brings in the deeper mindset piece, reminding listeners that fitness works best when it becomes part of your identity, not just a short-term goal tied to appearance.Key Takeaways:Most people are not under-trained. They are under-recovered and overcomplicated.Program hopping is one of the biggest reasons people do not see results.You do not need to train at maximum intensity in every session.The 80/20 rule of effort helps you train hard enough to progress and smart enough to recover.Warm-ups are not optional. They are part of injury prevention.Tracking your sleep, stress, and energy can help you know when to push and when to pull back.The best training plan is the one you can sustain and repeat consistently.And don't forget to follow and subscribe to my social media accounts.https://www.tiktok.com/@patrickhongfithttps://www.instagram.com/patrickhongfit/https://www.facebook.com/patrick.hong.7/If you need 1 on 1 coaching, DM “Coaching” on IG.
Michigan State football head coach Pat Fitzgerald calls into the program to talk about a wide variety of topics.
In this episode of Your Next Level Podcast, Coach Pat breaks down how to get back on track after Easter without guilt, extremes, or the all-or-nothing mindset that keeps so many people stuck. Instead of obsessing over what you ate over the weekend, this episode shifts the focus to what actually matters most: the next 3 to 5 days, the choices you make now, and how quickly you return to your normal routine.Coach Pat explains that most people are not dealing with instant fat gain after a holiday weekend. More often, they are dealing with water retention, extra sodium, extra carbs, and the mental spiral that happens when one off-plan meal turns into an off-plan week. His message is clear: you are not behind, you are just out of rhythm, and the goal is not to restart from scratch but to continue faster.The conversation explores why people often make the biggest mistake after overeating: under-eating the next day out of guilt. Coach Pat explains that chaotic behavior does not get fixed with more chaos. Skipping meals, slashing calories, and trying to “make up for it” usually leads to low energy, more cravings, and another binge cycle. Instead, he shares a more practical path built around protein, water, structured meals, and a basic routine that helps you stabilize both physically and mentally.This is a strong episode for listeners interested in fitness discipline, weight loss mindset, nutrition habits, consistency, and learning how to recover quickly when life gets messy. It is especially relevant for anyone who feels like one holiday, weekend, or social event has thrown them completely off track and needs a grounded reminder that real progress comes from bouncing back quickly, not being perfect.Key Takeaways:It is not what you ate over Easter that matters most. It is what you do next.You are not behind. You are just out of rhythm.Do not respond to overeating with under-eating.Protein in every meal is a non-negotiable.Hydration and routine matter more than perfection.Small wins create momentum.You do not need an extreme fitness plan to get results.And don't forget to follow and subscribe to my social media accounts.https://www.tiktok.com/@patrickhongfithttps://www.instagram.com/patrickhongfit/https://www.facebook.com/patrick.hong.7/If you need 1 on 1 coaching, DM “Coaching” on IG.
In this episode of Your Next Level Podcast, Coach Pat breaks down what it really means to become the person others follow. Rather than waiting for friends, family, or partners to join your journey first, this episode reframes leadership as something deeply personal: going first, staying consistent, and letting your actions speak louder than your explanationsCoach Pat shares how leadership started early in his own life, how discomfort shaped his identity, and why real influence does not come from convincing people, but from living at a standard they cannot ignore.The conversation explores why so many people get stuck trying to drag others along with them, especially in fitness, health, and self-development. Coach Pat explains that personal responsibility means owning your choices without outsourcing your growth to the people around you. As he shows through stories from his career, his friendships, and even his family, people often do not respond to what you say. They respond to what you consistently do.This is a strong episode for listeners interested in leadership mindset, personal growth, fitness discipline, self-respect, and becoming a stronger example in their community, family, or workplace. It is especially relevant for anyone who feels frustrated that the people around them are not changing at the same pace they are.Key Takeaways:Leadership starts with leading yourself first. Coach Pat reflects on how being forced to navigate life independently at a young age shaped his ability to take responsibility and move forward without waiting for others.People do not follow what you say. They follow consistency. Real influence comes from showing up over and over again, especially when you do not feel like it.Stop trying to convince everyone to join your journey. Whether it is fitness, discipline, or self-development, people are more likely to change when they see your standards in action long enough.Your actions create influence. When you move differently, eat differently, train differently, and carry yourself with certainty, people begin to notice and eventually ask how to catch up.Discomfort is part of leadership. Becoming the example may make other people uncomfortable, but that discomfort often signals that you are setting a new standard.Leading yourself can eventually change the people you love. Coach Pat shares how his own consistency influenced both his mother and younger brother, showing that transformation often spreads through example, not pressure.And don't forget to follow and subscribe to my social media accounts.https://www.tiktok.com/@patrickhongfithttps://www.instagram.com/patrickhongfit/https://www.facebook.com/patrick.hong.7/If you need 1 on 1 coaching, DM “Coaching” on IG.
In this episode of Your Next Level Podcast, Coach Pat breaks down the difference between eating healthy and eating smart, and explains why so many people get stuck in the start-and-stop cycle of fitness.Using his Valley of Despair framework, he walks through the phases people experience when they begin a fat-loss journey, from early excitement to frustration, self-doubt, and eventually the breakthrough that comes from the right context and strategy.Rather than relying on vague ideas like “clean eating,” this episode reframes nutrition as a system built on data, consistency, and intentional choices. Coach Pat explains why foods that sound healthy can still work against your goals, why your body responds to calories, protein, carbs, and fats rather than labels, and how repeating meals, tracking intake, and fueling your workouts properly can lead to sustainable progress.The conversation also explores why most people are not lazy or broken, but simply using the wrong strategy for too long. Coach Pat emphasizes that long-term results come from informed optimism, structure, and guidance, not from jumping between trends, extreme restriction, or chasing fast fixes.This is a strong episode for listeners interested in fat loss, fitness mindset, calorie tracking, nutrition strategy, behavior change, and building a healthy lifestyle that actually lasts.Key Takeaways:Many people confuse healthy eating with effective fat loss, but foods like salads, smoothies, and clean snacks can still be high in calories and inconsistent for results.The Valley of Despair explains why people often quit: they begin with optimism, hit frustration when nothing changes, and then start doubting themselves or jumping to the next method.The real turning point comes when you stop eating by labels and start eating with data. Your body responds to calories, protein, carbs, and fats, not whether food is labeled organic, clean, or healthy.Eating smart means knowing roughly how many calories your body needs, hitting protein consistently, balancing carbs and fats, and using food to support your energy and performance.Repeating simple meals that work and staying consistent from Monday through Sunday often produces better results than constantly changing your plan.Progress becomes sustainable when you build a system, trust the process, and stay in it long enough to reach informed optimism and eventually success and fulfillment.And don't forget to follow and subscribe to my social media accounts.https://www.tiktok.com/@patrickhongfithttps://www.instagram.com/patrickhongfit/https://www.facebook.com/patrick.hong.7/If you need 1 on 1 coaching, DM “Coaching” on IG.
In this episode of Monday Mindset, Coach Pat introduces the new direction of Your Next Level Podcast and breaks down the three levels of fitness: Survival, Identity Shift, and Mastery.Rather than treating fitness as a short-term weight-loss goal, this episode reframes it as a long-term identity transformation. Coach Pat explains why so many people get stuck in survival mode, how an identity shift changes habits from the inside out, and what mastery looks like when health becomes a non-negotiable part of daily life. The conversation also explores why community, structure, and consistent action matter more than motivation alone.This is a strong episode for listeners interested in fitness mindset, habit change, weight-loss psychology, and building a sustainable healthy lifestyle. Key Takeaways:Fitness is a journey from survival to mastery. Most people get stuck in Level 1 (Survival) because they focus on temporary weight loss instead of building a permanent identity.The key is an identity shift (Level 2). Stop "trying to lose weight" and become "a person who takes care of their body." This identity drives consistent habits.Mastery (Level 3) is effortless consistency. Fitness becomes an unconscious competence, a non-negotiable part of your life that you don't need to justify.Progress requires a supportive community. Surround yourself with people already at the next level to see what's possible and get the structure you need.And don't forget to follow and subscribe to my social media accounts.https://www.tiktok.com/@patrickhongfithttps://www.instagram.com/patrickhongfit/https://www.facebook.com/patrick.hong.7/If you need 1 on 1 coaching, DM “Coaching” on IG

Conversation Transcript:J Batt (00:00):Well, good afternoon. Good afternoon. Welcome to everyone today, our head coaches that are with us, our donors, our athletic department staff, media members, so glad to see you and many of our special guests in particular. Welcome to the Fitzgerald family. We're so glad you're here. Welcome. It is indeed a great day to be a Spartan. We are excited you're here and ready for a tremendous start to the next chapter of Michigan State Football. Before I get into today's news, I'd like to thank Jonathan Smith for the first class manner in which he represented Michigan State and the professional classy manner. He's handled this transition. We certainly wish him well and his family well and their future endeavors, but as I said, today marks the start of a new era of Michigan State football. Spartan football has a proud history of national championships, big 10 Championships, rose Bowl, CFP appearances and much of that success is recent. (01:08):More importantly, Spartan football is defined by its people, the student athletes and coaches that have built this program and the loyal passionate fan base that fill Spartan Stadium each and every week is with them in mind that I set about making sure we had the right coach to lead our program. Transitions are always difficult and throughout the process I continually focused on what I believe was in the best long-term interest of our programs. I wanted a coach who was a proven winner, a coach of integrity and intensity, someone with a formula for success on the field and a plan of attack in a continually evolving landscape, someone who could effectively and efficiently use the resources they were provided. Fit was also important as we set out on this search. Someone who understands the Big 10 and has relationships through the Midwest, a coach who embodies the values on which our program was built. (02:07):Perhaps most importantly, someone who shares our standard of excellence and aggressively pursues that excellence each and every day. I was looking for someone who would partner as we continue to elevate not just Michigan State football, but our entire athletic department, someone who would share our fundraising vision. Some of you may have seen we launched a $1 billion capital initiative today, so a few renderings of the east side of Spartan Stadium. Pretty excited about that and it certainly gave me chills to see that rendering for the first time and hopefully he did the same for you as we went through this list of criteria. Pat Fitzgerald met every criteria. He's a passionate winner. He understands the Big 10 in college football here in the Midwest. We have a shared vision for building championships and returning this program to its elite level of success. At the same time, we have an obligation as a department to the football program. (03:02):We are fully committed to providing the resources and infrastructure required to compete at the highest lever. Nearly six months ago, almost to the day, I stood in this exact same spot and shared that my vision for reestablishing Michigan State Athletics as a top 10 athletic department. I also spoke about the importance of Michigan State football and what is required for us to reach that goal. To reach that level of success requires alignment at every level.

(05:01):I'm sure that Coach Fitz, as he has said, he likes to be called Coach Fitz. I'm going to work on that and his family will discover the warmth of our Michigan State community much in the same way that Amy and our family did when we visited this campus nearly two years to the day when it was much like this with a little snow on the ground, but it's warmth that's as I like to say, kindled by our passionate campus and a Spartan community and all those many who are in the room today who are dedicated to making a difference on the field and beyond, and that's the way we develop talent here at Michigan State University.
