Send us a textIn this Fusion Hack Nikki breaks down how to stay socially present while staying locked-in during prep—without turning food into a stress point or making every event feel like a sacrifice. The episode starts with a practical way to identify where you are in your prep journey so your strategy matches your current phase, not an unrealistic standard. From there, Nikki focuses on a core lever most competitors overlook: communication—with yourself, with your coach, and with the people around you.A major theme is changing your perspective and language around food. Nikki explains how the words you use (“I can't,” “I'm not allowed,” “I'm missing out”) quietly shape your identity and adherence. When you shift that language, you shift your behavior. The conversation gets tactical: how to make clean, confident adjustments at restaurants, how to think outside the box at social events, and how to reduce friction by simply asking for what you need—because most of the time, accommodations are easier than you think.Nikki emphasizes decoupling food from fun so your social life isn't dependent on going off-plan. The result is a calmer, more sustainable prep experience—rooted in clarity, intention, and respecting the importance of what you're doing.Nikki Lagorio's philosophy is rooted in the belief that movement is medicine and that true empowerment begins with the body. Her background is remarkably diverse, reflecting her lifelong commitment to physical excellence. Nikki excelled in collegiate club soccer, qualified for state championships in the 800m in track and field, competed as a CrossFit athlete, and became a 53kg USA Olympic Weightlifter, all before earning her IFBB Pro Bikini status. Her purpose was further shaped during nearly a decade in education as a high school teacher and coach, where witnessing her students achieve their goals sparked a deep passion for cultivating self-belief and growth. Today, Nikki channels her educational and athletic expertise into coaching individuals to build a powerful, enduring relationship with themselves through movement and mindful living. She specializes in integrating high-performance athletics with behavioral health, guiding others to develop mental fortitude and unlock their innate capabilities.

Send us a textNikki Lagorio pulls back the curtain on what competitive growth actually costs—and what it gives you when you stop chasing validation and start building identity. The episode begins with a look at Nikki's posing work and the standards she holds herself to, then quickly deepens as she shares the moment panic attacks entered the picture and forced a hard truth: you can only ignore real life and buried emotions for so long before your body demands honesty. From there, the conversation becomes a practical guide to showing up as your authentic self—especially when you're used to performing, people-pleasing, or measuring your worth by outcomes.Nikki breaks down “the work of the work”: the unglamorous reps that build confidence, integrity, and self-trust in the off-season when no one is clapping. She explores the self-improvement paradox—does confidence come before action, or does action create confidence?—and reframes success as consistency under pressure, not motivation. A major theme is shifting from comparison to community: being proud of the women around you, competing with them instead of against them, and recognizing that your personal best can matter more than winning. We end with the questions that separate contenders from performers: are you chasing achievement or approval, and did you truly do everything in your power to make yourself proud? Because in the end, the climb is the fun part—and the real win is who you become on the way up.Nikki Lagorio's philosophy is rooted in the belief that movement is medicine and that true empowerment begins with the body.

Send us a textIn this Fusion Hack, Allyson Spungin and Drew Brannon break down the truth behind junk volume—one of the most misunderstood concepts in resistance training. They explain how proper volume is built through intentional working sets, why warm-ups, feeders, and back-off sets are not counted as true volume, and how progressive overload should be tracked over time without ego-driven weight jumps.This episode clarifies how volume must be individualized based on athlete experience, biofeedback, readiness, and training phase, while dispelling the myth that weight must increase every week to see progress. You'll also learn how accessory work supports growth, when higher-rep volume is appropriate, and how to manage rest intervals to maximize performance and recovery.Allyson Spungin is the Director of Training, Programming, and Educational Development for Fitbody Fusion and a Master Trainer with more than a decade of hands-on experience. Based in Scottsdale, AZ and originally from Connecticut, she launched her fitness career in New York City in 2014 and has since built a reputation for science-backed coaching that elevates both general-population clients and athletes.

I'll be honest, menopause used to feel like something I would deal with later, distant and a little intimidating. This conversation with Dr. Mindy Pelz completely reframed that for me. We talk about menopause as a neurological and metabolic reset, not a decline, and why so many women feel raw, overstimulated, or suddenly done with people pleasing when estrogen drops.

Send us a textIn this Fusion Hack, Dove Putterman breaks down one of the most misunderstood areas of physique development: the difference between training your abs and building a truly flat, tight, pressure-controlled core. Dove dives straight into the purpose of LPF (Low Pressure Fitness) — originally designed to help the body recover from the internal trauma of childbirth, and now used to optimize pressure management for athletes of all levels. Dove explains why you can have a low body-fat percentage yet still struggle with a protruding midsection, how LPF activates the transverse abdominis, and why so many athletes confuse “ab training” with actual core function. She breaks down common misconceptions about crunch variations, compounded ab work, and why your core is working in every workout, whether you realize it or not.Dr. Dove Putterman is a wife and a proud mother of FIVE amazing children! Seven years after giving birth to triplets, she stepped on stage for the first time and went on to earn her Wellness IFBB Pro card at the Natural Canadian Pro Qualifier. Struggling with core control issues after pregnancy, she discovered Low Pressure Fitness through the bodybuilding community which not only transformed her physique and remedied her lower back pain, but also inspired her to become a coach working with athletes from amateur competitors to Olympians and helping them master core control for posing, training and stability not to mention developing that hourglass shape on stage!https://www.instagram.com/drdove_ifbbprohttps://www.fitbodyfusion.com/pages/online-competition-coachingWelcome to FitBody Lifestyle the podcast hosted by Jami and Greg DeBernard!

Send us a textThis episode dives deep into one of the most misunderstood parts of physique sport: core function, pressure management, LPF (Low Pressure Fitness), and why what you do in training shows up on stage. Dove Putterman breaks down the nuances of breath, posture, transverse activation, and why a small waist has far more to do with internal mechanics than body fat percentage.From being asked if she was “expecting again,” to explaining why lean athletes can still carry belly protrusion, Dove opens up conversations most women are too embarrassed to ask. She reveals the truth about vacuums, rib flares, diaphragm dysfunction, and why so many competitors unknowingly create pressure issues that sabotage their appearance on stage.The episode mixes technical education with humor — mic bumps, slop transitions, banter with Jamie, and real-world examples like diaphragm massage (and yes… the bathroom aftermath). Dove breaks down sympathetic vs. parasympathetic training states, pressure mismanagement, rib positioning, bucket posture, and why exhale-focused training changes everything.She also highlights why LPF is the missing link for most athletes, why “breathwork” is often misunderstood, what a real vacuum actually is, and how small daily details add up to stage-shaping results. It's a highly informative, deeply practical, and refreshingly honest conversation about the mechanics behind an elite, functional, visually aesthetic core.Dr. Dove Putterman is a wife and a proud mother of FIVE amazing children!

In this episode, Dove opens up about the evolution of coaching, the power of collaborative leadership, and how different perspectives shape the athletes who perform at the highest level. From her background in taekwondo, to becoming a mother of triplets, Dove shares the unexpected, hilarious, and deeply human moments that shaped her journey — including the wild story behind her missing belly button, her doctor's expectations, and the truth about dietary demands during pregnancy. She talks candidly about what it means to create the happiest and best athlete, why the best leaders are the best simplifiers, and how the structure of a great team produces results far beyond what any individual could achieve.Dove challenges the narrative around postpartum women who are told they “can't get their bodies back,” revealing her own comeback story — insecurities, humor, grit, and all.Dr. Dove is a wife and a proud mother of FIVE amazing children!

Cold Weather, Warm Muscles: Smart Winter Fitness Tips for Adults Over 50 As the seasons change, so do our routines — and for many older adults, colder months bring more than just snow and chilly mornings. They bring stiffness, aches, and a steep drop in motivation to stay active. That's why I'm thrilled to share our latest Live Long Better episode featuring Dr. Sabrena Jo, Director of Science and Research at the American Council on Exercise (ACE). Dr. Jo is a nationally recognized voice in fitness science and healthy aging, and in this episode, she gives clear, compassionate advice for staying strong and steady through winter. We discuss how cold weather affects muscles, why older adults need to warm up differently in winter, and what simple indoor exercises can improve strength and balance — without requiring expensive equipment or a gym membership. Even more importantly, we talk about the emotional side of fitness during winter — how loneliness, low energy, and dark days can create barriers, and what role the 6 Pillars of Wellness play in staying mentally and physically well. Whether you're caring for aging parents, guiding clients over 50, or simply working to age well yourself, this conversation is full of takeaways: • Science-backed movement tips • Real-world stories of transformation • Winter-specific warm-up routines • Practical advice for daily strength and confidence
In this episode, I'm covering five crucial lessons I've learned from over 20 years of my fitness journey.
