Podcasts about fat loss

The final episode of Your 2026 Body Blueprint brings the entire series together.  In Part 1, Ted explained why most men over 40 age faster than they should.     In Part 2, he broke down why weight loss alone doesn't equal health.     In Part 3, he showed how men should train to preserve muscle and strength with minimal time.     In Part 4, he explained why cardio and cardiovascular fitness are essential for longevity—even if you already lift.   And  In Part 5, he shared a clear, evidence-based approach to nutrition that supports metabolic health, longevity, and fat loss without quitting your social life or eliminating foods you enjoy.   And in Part 6, he talked the most underestimated drivers of how you age: sleep, stress, and lifestyle.   Now, in Part 7, Ted explains how to organize everything into a realistic, year-long system built around one outcome goal—fat loss—and the process goals that actually make it achievable. This episode focuses on training structure, cardio decisions, nutrition fundamentals, recovery, measurement, and the behavioral shifts required to make progress stick over time.  You'll learn:  Why choosing one outcome goal leads to better long-term results than chasing multiple goals  How to structure strength training for fat loss while preserving muscle after 40  How calorie and protein tracking simplify fat loss and improve food choices   Why data tracking prevents emotional decision-making and plateaus  How recovery and stress management determine whether fat loss succeeds or fails  Why identity and habit reprogramming matter more than willpower  What Ted discusses in this episode:  (00:00) Introduction  (01:47) Setting Realistic Goals for Long-Term Success  (05:19) Effective Training Strategies for Fat Loss  (12:36) The Role of Cardio in Your Fitness Journey  (16:27) Mastering Nutrition for Optimal Results  (22:03) The Importance of Tracking and Measurement  (24:30) Avoiding Burnout and Ensuring Recovery  (27:18) Behavioral Change and Long-Term Success  (30:48) Client Success Story: Chad's Transformation  (33:15) Final Thoughts and Encouragement 

We live in a world where information is everywhere for FREE. If knowing what to do delivered results, you would already be in your dream body. Today I'm sharing why women who "know what to do" aren't getting the results they want, or expect. So if you are someone who knows how to track, hit your protein and fiber, be in a deficit, yet your results are inconsistent, or progress feels harder than it should, it's not a knowledge issue. It's strategy, timing and structure. Apply for coaching CURED Serenity gummies (code Emma saves 20% through jan)HAPI supplementsThe EmPowered Community free Facebook group Follow Emma on InstagramFollow Emma on Facebook

Get 20% off at timeline.com/vanessa Most fat-loss advice focuses on the scale — but what if that's the wrong metric entirely? In this episode, Vanessa Spina is joined by Dr. Scott Forbes, exercise physiologist and professor at Brandon University, whose research challenges many of the assumptions behind traditional weight-loss approaches. Dr. Forbes has authored and co-authored numerous randomized controlled trials and large meta-analyses examining how training style, protein intake, creatine supplementation, sleep, and aging influence fat loss, muscle retention, and metabolic health. Rather than chasing weight loss, this conversation explores what happens when the goal shifts to body recomposition — losing fat while preserving or building muscle — and why that distinction changes everything. In this episode, we explore: Why weight loss and fat loss are not the same thing The surprising differences between cardio, resistance training, and combined approaches Why some people lose weight but stall metabolically How protein and creatine fit into a muscle-centric fat-loss strategy Why fat loss becomes harder with age — and what still works A largely overlooked factor that influences where fat is stored If you've ever done "everything right" and still felt stuck, this episode offers a science-backed reframe that may completely change how you approach fat loss.

On today's episode, I'm sitting down solo to address one of the most frustrating struggles women face when trying to lose weight: working out consistently but not seeing fat loss. I'm breaking down the idea of "out-exercising a bad diet," and exactly how I coach clients through this mistake. You'll learn why adding more workouts isn't the answer, why nutrition is the foundation for body fat loss, and how to reset your approach if your current routine isn't delivering results. We'll also talk about how exercise can quietly become a crutch that keeps you stuck, the signs you may be over-exercising, and how shifting your priorities can completely change your progress. By the end of this episode, you'll know how to make your workouts more intentional — so they finally work with your body and goals, instead of against them. 1:1 Coaching with Lauren and Our Team of Dietitians: HERE To connect with Lauren, click HERE Submit your question for advice from Lauren on the show HERE Take the free Weight Loss Personality Quiz HERE Shop Our Meal Plans HERE Get Support & Personally Work With Us HERE Related Episodes:

You can build more muscle and burn 3x the calories just by changing how you walk. This simple low-impact exercise, rucking, is one of the best ways to improve bone density and overall health without the joint pain of running. In episode 853 of the Savage Perspective Podcast, host Robert Sikes talks with dietitian and rucking expert Kayla Girgen about how to get started with rucking, the best gear to use, and how to avoid common mistakes. They also dive deep into nutrition, explaining how using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) can reveal the best foods for your body, why a slow-carb diet might be better than keto for some, and simple tricks to manage your blood sugar for steady energy all day.Want to learn the system to build muscle and optimize your own nutrition?

In today's episode, I'm sitting down with Krista Moreland, one of our incredible functional health coaches here at Vital Spark, to share her story, her breaking point, and the moment that changed everything. Krista joined our team in early 2025 with over a decade of coaching experience, but her journey goes far deeper than credentials. Before motherhood, she was a two-sport college athlete whose identity was built on discipline, performance, and mental toughness. Then she became a mom, and everything she thought she knew about herself began to shift.Krista opens up about navigating early motherhood while caring for a medically complex baby, including her son's heart surgery at just four months old. She shares the shame, fear, and invisible stress she carried, and how food became her unexpected escape during that season. As a former athlete who had never used food emotionally, this struggle left her feeling confused and lost inside her own body. We talk about the identity shock no one prepares women for, especially high-achieving moms who are used to holding it all together.Krista takes us into the quiet breaking point that happened in her bathtub, where she realized no one was coming to rescue her. That moment wasn't about weight loss, but about choosing herself again. We explore how healing her relationship with food and her body changed the way she showed up as a mom, partner, and woman. This conversation is for any woman who feels like she used to know who she was and is ready to find her way back. Time Stamps: (3:08) Before Motherhood and College Days (6:54) Identity Shift to Motherhood (18:32) Leadership In The Home (23:22) Managing The Mind and Emotions (33:02) Where Coach Krista Is In Her Journey Right Now (37:10) You Are Not Broken (40:02) Where To Find Coach Krista---------------------Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

Skip to the start of the recap: 13:41 In today's Friday solo episode of The Optimal Protein Podcast, Vanessa breaks down the science of leptin — the hormone that determines whether your body will burn fat or protect it. Leptin isn't just about appetite. It's a metabolic permission signal, and when leptin signaling is disrupted, fat loss can stall even in a calorie deficit.

People chase cold plunges, red light therapy, peptides, and supplements while ignoring the basics of nutrition and fitness. I sat down with Jenn Trepeck, author of Uncomplicating Wellness and host of Salad with a Side of Fries, to flip that script.We break down her concept of biostacking and why most people are operating at 50 to 60 percent capacity.

Jillian Michaels flies solo—and holds nothing back. In this explosive episode, Jillian dismantles the media narrative surrounding the tragic shooting of Renee Goode by ICE officer Jonathan Ross. While politicians and pundits whip the public into tribal hysteria—branding people as “villains” and “terrorists”—Jillian cuts through the noise to expose the real forces fueling the violence. This isn't incompetence. It's strategy. A cynical game of political chess where human lives are expendable collateral. Then she turns her fire on Oprah Winfrey. Is obesity really genetic—or is that a comforting lie designed to keep you dependent, medicated, and profitable? Jillian breaks down the science they don't want you to hear, dismantles the “shame-free” marketing narrative, and exposes the financial conflicts of interest behind the sudden moral rebrand of weight-loss drugs. From Ozempic to Big Food to Big Pharma, this is how the system keeps you sick—and sells you the cure. No platitudes. No safe opinions. Just facts, incentives, and uncomfortable truths. In this episode, Jillian exposes: The ICE Shooting Investigation. Why federal agencies are sidelining local investigators. Blue City Chaos: How reckless language from top politicians escalates into real-world violence. The Ozempic Conflict: Oprah's financial entanglements behind the new “genetic destiny” storyline and GLP1 drugs. The BLISS POINT: How the “food” was engineered to hijack satiety and drive addiction. Big Tobacco's Takeover: How cigarette giants bought the food industry and applied the same addiction science. The Science of Fat Loss.

This week we welcome back protein and fat-loss researcher Dr. Bill Campbell to unpack early findings from what may be the largest menopause fitness survey to date, designed to finally study women who actively train. We dive into what thousands of fit midlife women report about calorie and protein intake, hormone therapy use, and the widely felt—but poorly studied—experience of weight-loss resistance during peri- and postmenopause. The conversation also explores why hormone therapy use appears far higher in fitness-engaged women than in national estimates, how muscle quality and power may decline even before we notice muscle loss, and why high-intensity interval work appears especially promising for reducing visceral fat.Bill Campbell, PhD is a Professor of Exercise Science and Director of the Performance and Physique Enhancement Laboratory at the University of South Florida. He is also a Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist from the National Strength & Conditioning Association and former president of the International Society of Sports Nutrition (where he is also 1 of 35 individuals to be recognized as a ‘Fellow' of the organization—an honor reserved for those individuals who have outstanding contributions to the field of sports nutrition). He has published over 200 scientific papers and abstracts, three textbooks, and 20 book chapters in areas related to physique enhancement, sports nutrition, resistance training, and dietary supplementation.

Sugar isn't sinful. Artificial sweeteners aren't automatically better. But confusion around both is keeping many women stuck—especially in midlife.In this episode, we're having an honest, science-based conversation about sugar, insulin, and artificial sweeteners, and how your body actually responds to sweetness. This isn't about shame, restriction, or cutting everything out forever. It's about understanding the biology God designed so you can change habits with clarity instead of guilt.We'll talk about why fat loss feels harder in perimenopause, how insulin controls fat storage, why “sugar-free” foods can still stall progress, and how artificial sweeteners affect your brain, gut, hormones, and cravings. You'll also hear practical, realistic ways to reduce sugar and sweetness without extremes.In this episode, we cover:What sugar actually is and how it affects blood sugarThe role of insulin as a storage hormoneWhy chronically elevated insulin blocks fat lossWhy midlife women are more insulin-sensitiveHow artificial sweeteners signal the body like sugarWhy “calorie-free” doesn't mean metabolically neutralThe impact of artificial sweeteners on cravings, brain, and gut healthCalories vs metabolic signalsBiblical wisdom on self-control and stewardshipPractical ways to reduce sugar and artificial sweeteners sustainablyKey Scriptures Mentioned:1 Corinthians 10:23Proverbs 25:28Galatians 5:22–23Key Takeaway:You don't need to quit sugar forever. You don't need “sugar-free” everything. When you understand how your body responds to sweetness, you're free to make wiser choices without fear or guilt.Reflection Question:Where might clarity about how your body works help you release shame and build healthier habits?

Most people only track progress by the scale — and then freak out when it doesn't move. But fat loss isn't linear, daily fluctuations are normal, and the scale is just one tiny piece of the puzzle. In this episode, I'm breaking down: What realistic fat loss looks like Why losing too fast leads to muscle loss + slower metabolism The 5 ways to track progress that actually matter A client story that proves how important it is to zoom out How to stay consistent even when the scale is acting chaotic If you're starting fresh this January and you want to avoid the classic "I'm not losing fast enough" spiral — this episode will be a game-changer.     ✨ Apply for 1:1 Coaching Ready for a personalized plan and high-touch support? https://acebarbell.com/nutrition-coaching/  ✨ Join My Free Facebook Community Get weekly fat loss tips, nutrition education, recipes, and support. https://www.facebook.com/groups/ACEnutrition     

Amber Warren, PA-C, is joined by functional medicine nurse practitioner Heather Lucas, MSN, FNP-C, to explain the science behind GLP-1–based therapies and metabolic weight loss. They break down how GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon influence appetite, insulin resistance, and fat metabolism, and discuss how therapies such as semaglutide, tirzepatide, and emerging triple agonists are used in metabolic care.This episode explores why improving metabolic health requires more than appetite suppression, highlighting the role of nutrition, strength training, sleep, stress, and gut health. Learn how peptides may be used as functional medicine tools to support fat loss, protect muscle, and improve long-term metabolic health.

In this episode, Dr. Yousef Elyaman breaks down the essential mathematics of metabolism—from calculating basal metabolic rate to understanding the 3,500-calorie rule for weight loss—making complex concepts immediately actionable for practitioners and patients.We explore the critical distinction between fat loss and muscle preservation, why body composition matters more than the number on the scale, and how strategic protein intake and exercise can help preserve metabolic rate during caloric restriction. Dr. Yousef Elyaman shares evidence-based insights on various fasting protocols—from the foundational 12:12 time-restricted eating to modified alternate-day fasting—and reviews the latest research showing how these approaches reduce intrahepatic triglycerides, improve insulin sensitivity, and even reverse markers of liver fibrosis.Join us for an online livestream where you'll master the functional medicine strategies that reverse fatty liver.

They have a wide-ranging conversation on coaching strong, not skinny, and the mindset challenges that they come up against with clients (and themselves) and how to overcome these. This is insightful for anyone who themselves is interested in how to integrate fat loss and building muscle in real life.Kelsey Johnston, known online as Kelsey J Fit, is a certified fitness coach, nutrition mentor, and strength training advocate dedicated to helping people build sustainable habits around strength, food, and lifestyle. She is a Certified Personal Trainer through NASM and has been coaching clients professionally since 2022, bringing over three years of experience in personalised programming and macro-based nutrition support. Kelsey's own journey into fitness began after pregnancy, when she gained 80 pounds and faced mobility challenges, persistent pain, and frustration with traditional cardio and restrictive dieting. Her transformation began with strength training and learning to fuel her body properly—shifting away from a cycle of dieting and scale obsession to a balanced approach that prioritises performance, wellbeing, and consistency. Through her coaching, Kelsey emphasises chasing strength, eating with intention, and embracing an 80/20 lifestyle that clients can sustain long-term. She is passionate about helping people feel strong, pain free, and confident in what their bodies can do, rather than simply how they look.Kelsey maintains an active presence on Instagram, where she builds community and offers practical insights into training, nutrition, and everyday strengthKelsey: https://www.kelseyjfit.com/aboutIG: https://www.instagram.com/kelseyjfit Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwilliden

We discuss how morning light impacts leptin signaling, insulin sensitivity, cortisol, and melatonin, why modern indoor living disrupts metabolic health, and how maintaining a strong negative cellular charge is critical for mitochondrial function. We also cover red and infrared light therapy, optimal timing, metabolic benefits, and key considerations during pregnancy — plus how to integrate protein intake, calories in vs. calories out, and resistance training with circadian alignment for sustainable fat loss. Topics include: Light exposure and leptin signaling Circadian rhythm and fat loss Cellular charge and mitochondrial health Grounding and infrared light Red light therapy timing and pregnancy considerations Balancing calories, protein, and training with circadian biology

If you're getting everything done on the outside but feel exhausted, foggy, and feel like giving up on the inside, this episode is for you.High functioning burnout is the state where your nervous system stays on constant alert while your life keeps demanding more.It shows up most often in high achievers like entrepreneurs, corporate women, and medical professionals who are praised for pushing through.In this episode, I break down 18 subtle but powerful signs that your body is stuck between high cortisol and total collapse.We'll talk about why rest feels unsafe, stillness makes you anxious, and productivity comes in extreme waves instead of balance.You'll recognize the patterns of irritability, avoidance, overstimulation, and mental exhaustion that don't look like classic burnout.I explain what's actually happening inside your nervous system when you feel wired but tired, motivated but flat, social yet depleted.This isn't a motivation problem or a discipline issue, it's a regulation issue. You'll learn why pushing harder only deepens the loop and what happens if these signals are ignored long term.We'll connect the dots between chronic stress, dopamine crashes, cortisol dysregulation, and hormonal fallout.Most importantly, this episode will help you name what you're experiencing so you can stop blaming yourself.Burnout doesn't always look like quitting or falling apart, sometimes it looks like functioning too well for too long. If you want your life to feel as good as it looks, this conversation is a wake up call. Time Stamps: (1:20) Both Looking Good Today(2:22) Natalie Ellis Quote(3:35) Between High and Low Cortisol(5:18) 18 Signs You Are High Functioning Burnout(25:52) What To Look For If This Resonates With You---------------------Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

The official food pyramid has quietly changed and almost no one is talking about it. In this episode, Ben Azadi breaks down why the old low-fat, grain-based nutrition advice failed millions of people and how the new food pyramid is an unspoken admission that it was wrong all along. Ben explains: Why weight gain, inflammation, and fatigue were never your fault How decades of nutrition advice kept insulin chronically elevated What the new food pyramid removed and why that matters Why Robert F. Kennedy Jr. warned about corporate food influence years ago How protein, healthy fats, and whole foods restore metabolic health You'll also learn Ben's real food pyramid, why insulin is the key hormone behind fat storage, why grains and seed oils drive inflammation, and how strategic carbohydrates should be used as a tool, not a foundation. This episode empowers you to stop blaming yourself, understand your biology, and take control of your health using real food and simple metabolic principles.

Try Calocurb natural appetite support backed by clinical research. Get 10% off your first order at https://witsandweights.com/calocurb—Why does hunger sabotage weight loss even with perfect macros? Is appetite control really about discipline or hormone health?Body recomp, weight loss, and building muscle get complicated fast when appetite refuses to cooperate. I dug into the real biology behind hunger with Sarah Kennedy, founder and CEO of Calocurb, to explore how the gut and brain regulate appetite through GLP-1 and other hormones tied to metabolism and nutrition. We unpacked why calorie deficits trigger powerful biological pushback, how bitter compounds can naturally influence appetite signals, and where these strategies fit alongside lifting weights, protein intake, and evidence-based nutrition.This conversation reframes appetite as a physiological signal, not a personal failure, and shows how strength training, nutrition, and smart tools can work together. If you're navigating fat loss, women's fitness, or strength training over 40, this adds a missing layer most fitness podcasts ignore. It's a practical lens on appetite control.Today, you'll learn all about:0:00 – Why hunger overrides willpower4:10 – Appetite hormones explained8:45 – GLP-1 beyond weight loss drugs13:30 – Bitter compounds and gut signaling18:55 – Appetite control during fat loss23:40 – Women's hormones and cravings28:20 – Using tools without dependency33:10 – Long-term appetite strategiesEpisode resources:Website: calocurb.com/witsandweights Email: hello@calocurb.comInstagram: @calocurb Facebook: @calocurbglobalYoutube: @calocurb Support the show

If you've been thinking, “What is going on with my body?” Today, you are getting your answers. You're going to learn the real science and brand-new research of perimenopause and menopause and the simple, research-backed changes that can help you feel stronger, calmer, and more in control, starting now. For way too long, women have been left guessing about hormone changes, weight gain, sleep issues, mood swings, and why workouts that used to “work” suddenly don't. Most of the advice out there is outdated, generalized, or based on bodies that are not female. That changes today. In this eye-opening episode, Mel brought back her most popular guest of all time: Dr. Stacy Sims, PhD, to give you the exact plan on how to train your body to adapt to the changes, instead of just “dealing with it.” Dr. Sims is a professor at Stanford and Auckland University of Technology, a world-renowned exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist, and a leading researcher on female-specific health and nutrition. She breaks down why menopause is not the end of you. It's just a transition, and with the right tools, your body can thrive for the next 40 years. Today's episode has solutions, including new information that goes beyond what has ever been shared on this podcast before. In this episode, you'll learn: -How to rewire your body to thrive without estrogen-Why belly fat shows up in menopause (and why it's not the same kind of fat as before) -The specific diet and nutrition that help with mood and sleep -What happens to your brain, mood, sleep, and body fat when estrogen drops -Why menopause is basically reverse puberty  -The #1 thing that changes everything in midlife: heavy strength training (and how to start in 10 minutes) -The new cardio that works with menopause (short sprint intervals) and why “moderate hard” workouts always backfire -The injuries nobody warns you about – frozen shoulder and plantar fasciitis – and what to do about themBookmark this episode and share it with every single woman in your life. You do not have to live with symptoms that can be resolved, and you do not have to suffer. You can train your body to adapt to the changes – and you can start this week. For more resources related to today's episode, click here for the podcast episode page.  If you liked this episode, check out Dr. Stacy Sims' first appearance on The Mel Robbins Podcast: The Body Reset: How Women Should Eat & Exercise for Health, Fat Loss, & EnergyTo learn more about menopause, listen to this interview with Ob/Gyn Dr. Mary Claire Haver: The #1 Menopause Doctor: How to Lose Belly Fat, Sleep Better, & Stop Suffering NowConnect with Mel:   Order Mel's new product, Pure Genius ProteinGet Mel's newsletter, packed with tools, coaching, and inspiration.Get Mel's #1 bestselling book, The Let Them TheoryWatch the episodes on YouTubeFollow Mel on InstagramThe Mel Robbins Podcast InstagramMel's TikTokSubscribe to SiriusXM Podcasts+ to listen to new episodes ad-freeDisclaimer Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode, Ben Azadi breaks down how he lost 80 pounds without calorie counting, extreme exercise, or willpower by fixing one overlooked organ that controls fat burning: the liver. Ben explains why a toxic or overworked liver shuts down fat loss, disrupts hormones, increases insulin resistance, and drives stubborn belly fat. He shares the science behind fatty liver, obesogens, and why modern toxin exposure makes detoxification essential for metabolic health. You will learn five simple, practical liver detox strategies that help remove inflammation, restore hormone balance, and unlock natural fat burning: Why eating too close to bedtime blocks liver detox and fat loss How bitter foods stimulate bile production and improve digestion How sauna use multiplies detox, boosts insulin sensitivity, and enhances fat burning Natural ways to increase glutathione, the body's master detox antioxidant Why chronic stress and cortisol sabotage liver health and how gratitude lowers stress hormones Ben also answers common questions about detox myths, rapid fat loss, alcohol consumption, and the biggest mistakes people make when trying to detox. This episode is a powerful reminder that your body is not broken. When you remove the interference, your metabolism does what it was designed to do.

If social media has you feeling confused about how you should be eating for your goals, you're going to love this episode. On today's episode, I'm breaking down exactly how much you should be eating for fat loss — and whether most women are actually not eating enough or eating too much. I'm sharing some honest, important real talk on why social media gets this conversation so wrong, and how that misinformation is actively preventing many women from losing fat. I also walk you through the different scenarios I see as a Registered Dietitian when someone is unknowingly overeating versus unintentionally undereating and sabotaging their progress, so you can gain clear insight into what may be keeping you stuck. By the end of this episode, you'll feel confident about what — and how much — you should be eating for fat loss. You'll learn how to find your calorie deficit sweet spot, stop the restrict-then-overeat cycle, and finally make sense of why your weight hasn't been moving.

Longevity isn't just about what you eat or how you train—it's really more about whether you believe your body is worth investing in. On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I'm joined by my longtime friend and colleague Dr. Gabrielle Lyon to explore why muscle may be one of the most overlooked drivers of long-term health. We focus on practical, accessible ways to build strength as you age, and why muscle plays a much bigger role in your health than most people realize. We explore: • How strength training supports your blood sugar and metabolic health, beyond what the scale can show • Why muscle quality—not weight—is a stronger predictor of long-term health • How building strength helps you stay mobile, capable, and resilient as you age • What most people miss about protein and muscle health Aging well is something you can actively support, starting with how you care for your body today. And strength is one of the most powerful places you can begin.

This month's Q and A episode is one of those conversations that went everywhere it needed to go. Craig Smith and I sat down and answered real questions from real people. Just honest perspectives from years in the trenches coaching humans through health, fitness, mindset, and life. We covered things like how to actually find a good personal trainer and what red flags to watch for before you waste your time or money. We had a real conversation around sobriety versus recovery and why those two things are not the same even though people use them interchangeably. This one always opens up some nuance and perspective. We dug into why so many people sabotage their fat loss even when they know exactly what to do. Not from a willpower angle, but from an identity, comfort, and self protection standpoint. We also talked about how to influence your kids to eat better and slower without creating anxiety, pressure, or a weird relationship with food that follows them into adulthood. And of course, we answered a few other questions that always seem simple on the surface but go a lot deeper once you actually unpack them. If you're a parent, someone working on your own health, or someone who wants to understand why change can feel so hard even when the path is clear, this episode will land.
