Don't most of us want to be the most optimal weight for racing? Don't most of us love eating? Don't most of us just let nature take its course and we'll then just race at whatever weight we happened to get to? It doesn't have to be that way.Come join our growing community at www.patreon.com/thelonelytriathleteTRANSCRIPTWelcome back to The Lonely Triathlete.On January 2nd, 2026, I stepped on the scale and saw a number I wasn't expecting: 193 pounds.The strange part wasn't the number itself.The strange part was that I was already training again.I had restarted my triathlon training at the end of October. I was doing dryland swim training, cycling, running, and doing all the things endurance athletes are supposed to do. Yet somehow I was carrying around an extra 23 pounds compared to where I sit today.And you know the strangest part of all?I didn't really think I needed to lose weight. I mean, I knew I was way heavier than I wanted to be for race performance but...I didn't look overweight.I wasn't struggling to fit into my clothes.Nobody was pulling me aside to express concern.The weight was distributed evenly enough that I simply looked like a bigger version of myself.Today I'm hovering very close to 170 pounds.So how does a reasonably fit triathlete gain more than 20 pounds while continuing to train?And what happens when those pounds gradually disappear?That's what I want to talk about today.Because this isn't really a story about weight loss.It's a story about habits, performance, health, and a few uncomfortable truths that many endurance athletes probably don't want to hear.One of the biggest mistakes I made was believing that training alone would solve the problem.I had stopped training consistently for a period of time and gained some weight. When I restarted my training in October, I assumed the extra pounds would simply melt away.After all, that's what seemed to happen when I was younger.More training meant more calories burned.More calories burned meant less weight.Simple.Except this time it wasn't.The scale barely moved.Months went by.The training continued.The weight stayed.Looking back, I think I was relying on an old formula that no longer applied.Age changes things.Habits matter more.And unfortunately, there is no amount of Zone 2 riding that can completely erase poor nutritional habits.If I had to identify the single biggest contributor to my weight gain, it would be evening snacking.Potato chips.Pie.Doughnuts.Simple carbohydrates.The kinds of foods that are easy to justify after a hard workout.You tell yourself you've earned it.You tell yourself you've burned enough calories.You tell yourself it's only one snack.And then that one snack becomes a daily habit.The funny thing about gradual weight gain is that it becomes invisible.You adapt.You normalize it.You continue to think of yourself as the athlete you were ten or twenty pounds ago.The scale tells a different story.Eventually I decided it was time to stop guessing and start paying attention.The first thing I did was download the free version of MyFitnessPal and begin tracking calories.That single step changed everything.Not because I became obsessed with numbers.Quite the opposite.It simply gave me awareness.And awareness tends to change behaviour.The second thing I did was increase my protein intake.For me, that mostly came from whey protein shakes.One of the biggest discoveries I made was identifying my danger zone.For me, it wasn't breakfast.It wasn't lunch.It wasn't immediately after training.It was around 8 p.m.That's when the cravings showed up.That's when the urge to snack would hit.That's when good intentions became vulnerable.So instead of waiting until I was hungry enough to make poor choices, I started getting ahead of the problem.I'd drink a protein shake.I'd eat carrots, broccoli, or cauliflower.I'd pour myself a naturally flavoured sparkling water.And something interesting happened.The cravings lost much of their power.They didn't disappear.But they became manageable.Looking back, I honestly think that evening protein shake was one of the most important tools in my entire weight-loss journey.Not because it magically burned fat.Because it reduced the likelihood that I'd reach for something far more calorie-dense.The third change involved alcohol.I didn't eliminate it.I reduced it.I limited myself mostly to weekends and generally capped it at about three drinks in an evening.Again, nothing dramatic.No radical diets.No extreme restrictions.Just a series of small behavioural changes repeated consistently.And that's really the lesson.The weight came off steadily over five months.Not perfectly.Some weeks I lost weight.Some weeks I didn't.Some weeks the scale actually went up.But the overall trend continued downward.That's an important point because so many people expect weight loss to look like a straight line.It doesn't.Neither does fitness.Neither does triathlon training.Neither does life.Progress is messy.What matters is the trend.Now let's talk about performance.Because this is where things became impossible to ignore.The biggest difference has been running.I feel lighter.Not metaphorically.Literally.My feet seem to float across the ground.My stride feels smoother.My footfalls feel softer.Less pounding.Less plodding.More efficiency.Last September I ran a 10K in roughly 47 and a half minutes.Recently I ran a 46-minute 10K.About a minute and a half faster.Now, weight loss isn't the entire explanation.I've also trained consistently.My fitness has improved.But it's difficult to imagine that losing 23 pounds hasn't played a significant role.When you think about it, every step in a run requires lifting and moving your body weight forward.When you remove 23 pounds from that equation, the savings accumulate over thousands of steps.Cycling has been a little different.On flat terrain I don't notice a dramatic difference.But my watts-per-kilogram have steadily increased.Partly because my FTP has improved.Partly because there's simply less of me to move.On climbs, physics becomes your friend.Swimming?Honestly, I don't notice much difference.If there is a performance gain there, it's subtle compared to what I've experienced on the run.This naturally leads to the concept of race weight.One of the books that influenced my thinking on this topic is Race Weight by Matt Fitzgerald.One of Fitzgerald's key points is that race weight is not the lightest possible version of yourself.That's important.Because chasing the lowest number on the scale can become unhealthy very quickly.Instead, Fitzgerald describes race weight as the weight that naturally results from consistently practicing high-quality nutrition habits.In other words, race weight is an outcome.Not a target.I love that idea because it shifts the focus away from appearance and toward behaviour.The goal isn't to become skinny.The goal isn't to look good in a mirror.The goal is to become the healthiest and most capable athlete you can be.That brings me to another question.What are the health implications of carrying an extra 20-plus pounds?Now, I haven't had my blood work done yet.I'm planning to do that at the end of race season, along with another DEXA scan.So I don't have hard numbers to compare.But we do know that excess body weight—even in people who are relatively fit—can influence important health markers.It can reduce insulin sensitivity.It can elevate triglycerides.It can increase systemic inflammation.It can place additional strain on joints.It can contribute to higher blood pressure over time.Interestingly, my blood pressure has remained stable throughout this process, which is great.But I'll be fascinated to see whether my DEXA scan and blood work reveal improvements that mirror the changes I've already noticed in training and performance.Perhaps the most interesting reaction I've received came from my brother.I showed him my weight-loss graph.He looked at it and asked if the graph also represented my happiness level.In other words, as the weight went down, was I becoming less happy?I laughed because I think that question captures how many people view weight loss.They imagine deprivation.Sacrifice.Misery.Constant hunger.A joyless existence.That wasn't my experience at all.Was I hungrier in the evenings?Absolutely.But I managed it.I drank water.I had vegetables ready to go.I used protein strategically.I worked with my hunger rather than pretending it didn't exist.And the result wasn't unhappiness.It was actually the opposite.I feel better.I move better.My clothes fit better.My running feels better.My confidence is higher.My strength has improved despite eating fewer calories because I also began a twice-weekly strength training routine back in January.That's another lesson worth mentioning.Weight loss doesn't have to mean becoming weaker.When approached properly, you can improve body composition while becoming stronger.Finally, I think it's important to discuss the difference between pursuing performance and becoming obsessed with body image.These are not the same thing.Endurance athletes need to be careful here.A desire to optimize race weight can be healthy.An obsession with every pound can be unhealthy.The question I like to ask myself is this:If nobody could see my body, would I still want to lose this weight?For me, the answer was yes.Because this wasn't about appearance.It was about performance.Health.Longevity.Feeling better.Moving better.Becoming a stronger athlete.Those motivations feel healthy and sustainable.So where should someone start if they want to move closer to an ideal race weight?Keep it simple.Track what you're eating for a week.Not to judge yourself.To learn.Increase protein.Reduce liquid calories.Find healthier substitutes for your biggest nutritional weaknesses.Focus on food quality before obsessing over quantity.Aim for consistency rather than perfection.And most importantly, think in months rather than weeks.Nobody expects to go from couch to Ironman in six weeks.Yet people routinely expect dramatic body composition changes in that amount of time.The same principles apply.Small actions.Repeated consistently.Over long periods of time.Five months ago I weighed 193 pounds.Today I'm very close to 170.And the biggest lesson I've learned is that I wasn't carrying 23 pounds.I was carrying 23 pounds and a collection of habits.The habits were the real weight.Once those changed, everything else started to follow.In September I'll be getting another DEXA scan and blood work.I'm genuinely curious to see whether the improvements I've noticed in performance show up in the data as well.When those results come in, I'll share them here on the podcast.Until then, thanks for listening to The Lonely Triathlete.Keep showing up.Keep training.And remember that sometimes the biggest gains don't come from working harder.They come from making a few better choices and repeating them long enough for them to matter.

Welcome to Episode 210 of the Bodybuilding Down Under Podcast! After a quick catch up we dive into a topic that keeps coming up across the industry: AI in bodybuilding coaching. With AI now baked into everything from MyFitnessPal to check-in software, we debate whether it genuinely threatens coaching or whether the human side of the sport is simply irreplaceable. We cover where AI falls short in niche areas like peak week and show day decisions, why low-effort and cookie-cutter coaches are most at risk, and why the coach-athlete relationship during a deep prep is something no algorithm can replicate. We also share practical ways coaches can use AI as a tool for efficiency, from mapping out prep timelines to building custom check-in apps, without losing what actually matters. Enjoy!

Ever checked your Oura Ring score first thing in the morning… and instantly decided how your entire day was going to feel? US TOOOOO!In this episode, we dive into the world of health tracking devices — from Oura Rings and Apple Watches to TempDrop, MyFitnessPal, Garmin, Whoop bands and beyond — and share our honest thoughts on whether these tools are genuinely helping us… or quietly making us more anxious, obsessive, and disconnected from our bodies.We unpack the pros, the pitfalls, and the surprisingly emotional side of tracking your sleep, stress, HRV, food, fertility, steps, recovery and more. Because while data can absolutely help you make smarter health decisions… sometimes it can also turn your nervous system into a full-time project manager (and nobody wants THAT).FIND NAT BELOW:Website - https://nataliekdouglas.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/natalie.k.douglasBook a Free Assessment Call - https://NatalieKDouglas.as.me/?appointmentType=50255874EndoNourish - Endometriosis and Adenomyosis Guide - https://nataliekdouglas.com/endonourish-holistic-endometriosis-adenomyoisis-care-guide/SacredSeeds - Preconception Care Guidehttps://nataliekdouglas.com/preconception-care-guide/PCOS Wellness Guidehttps://nataliekdouglas.com/pcos-holistic-guide/Thyroid Rescue - Self guided programhttps://nataliekdouglas.com/thyroid-rescue/Coming Off The Pill/IUD Holistic Guidehttps://nataliekdouglas.com/coming-off-the-pill-mini-course/PMS/PMDD Natural Solutons Masterclass https://nataliekdouglas.com/pms-pmdd-natural-solutions-masterclass/Restore and Nourish Gut Reset - https://nataliekdouglas.com/restore-nourish-gut-reset/Perimenopause Masterclass -https://nataliekdouglas.com/perimenopause-masterclass-holistic-toolkit/Become a one-to-one clienthttps://nataliekdouglas.com/1-1-naturopathic-nutrition-consultations/FIND AMIE BELOW:Book a Free Assessment Call: https://p.bttr.to/3yBdmu3   Book Yourself In: https://l.bttr.to/ZDxWOWebsite - https://whatthenaturopathsaid.com   Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thatnaturopathJoin the mailing list - https://elysium-clinic-of-natural-medicine.ck.page/69663ce14a  PS: yes we are practitioners, but we're not YOUR practitioners - it should go without saying but our episodes are not medical advice.

A 155-pound weight loss doesn't happen because you “finally got disciplined.” It happens when you build a system you can live with on your worst Tuesday, not your best Monday. We sit down with our friend Nolan Taylor (briefly rebranded as Nolan DeLorean) to talk through the unglamorous, repeatable steps that took him from nearly 400 pounds to the low 200s and into a new phase of chasing performance and body fat percentage goals.Nolan breaks down the real timeline: years of posting workouts and “going through the motions,” then a hard pivot on February 3, 2022 when he publicly committed to closing his Apple Watch rings every day. From there it's the fundamentals done consistently: calorie tracking with MyFitnessPal, better hydration, taking sleep seriously, and building a daily running habit that became his outlet when life got heavy. We talk about what actually makes habits stick, why extreme fitness culture sells insecurity, and how small food swaps and moderation can beat any all-or-nothing plan.The most important thread is mindset. We get into emotional eating, shame loops, therapy, and why “calories in, calories out” might be biologically true while still being emotionally incomplete. If the scale number wrecks your headspace, we also share better ways to measure progress: trends over time, energy, clothes fit, strength PRs, and the ability to do more without hating the process.If you want sustainable weight loss, a healthier relationship with food, and a plan that doesn't require misery, hit play.

You ask ChatGPT how many calories you should eat, it gives you a number, and you follow it. It sounds scientific. It feels like you're doing something right.But here's what nobody's telling you: the formula ChatGPT uses doesn't know your hormones, your thyroid, your stress, your sleep, your diet history, or how well your body actually converts food into fuel. It uses four variables to calculate a number that should require at least twelve.And then there's the other problem — ChatGPT is trained to agree with you. If you've been going down a low-carb path, it's going to hand you a low-carb plan. Not because it's right for you. Because it's designed to mirror back what you already believe.In this episode, Stephanie breaks down exactly why AI-generated calorie and macro calculations miss the mark for women in perimenopause and beyond — and shares what she found when she put ChatGPT's meal plan directly into MyFitnessPal.

In this episode, host Sandy Vance sits down with Mike Fisher, the CEO of MyFitnessPal, for an exciting and passionate conversation about what happens when twenty years of nutrition data meets modern AI. With over 300 million people impacted worldwide and a brand that has been a household name for two decades, MyFitnessPal is not resting on its laurels.  From an AI coach backed by two decades of behavioral data to a ChatGPT integration that meets users wherever they already are, to the acquisition of Gen Z favorite Calaii, Mike paints a vibrant picture of where consumer nutrition technology is headed.  This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the intersection of consumer behavior, AI personalization, and population health.  In this episode, they talk about: MyFitnessPal has impacted over 300 million people worldwide and has been building AI into nutrition tools long before LLMs existed The app's AI flywheel covers three areas: logging, meal planning, and personalized insights The new AI coach for premium users is backed by twenty years of behavioral data on what actually helps people hit their goals Users who scan meals are 32% more likely to hit their goals, a data point only possible after two decades of studying user behavior MyFitnessPal integrated with ChatGPT so users can access its nutrition expertise directly inside the LLM they already use The company acquired Calaii, built by high school students who scaled it to millions of users in under two years, to reach a younger demographic A new GLP-1 mode lets users track dosage, side effects, and nutrition in one place Agentic programming has lowered the barrier to building software, but cannot replicate twenty years of trusted data and behavioral science Bad data and missing data are just as dangerous as hallucinations, and guardrails around AI nutrition advice are non-negotiable A Little About Mike: Mike Fisher is the CEO of MyFitnessPal and a member of its board of directors. At MyFitnessPal, he focuses on driving strategic initiatives, enhancing the app's technological infrastructure, and expanding its impact on global health and nutrition. He brings a wealth of experience from his previous role as Chief Technology Officer at Etsy, where he drove engineering and product innovation, and from Quigo, where he scaled technology infrastructure ahead of its acquisition by AOL.  Co-founder of AKF Partners, Mike has advised numerous tech companies on strategic growth and held pivotal leadership roles at PayPal. A former U.S. Army Captain and pilot, Mike is also an active philanthropist and serves on the boards of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and the West Point Association of Graduates. He has co-authored two books on scalability and one on customer misbehavior.

So many people use food tracking apps such as Cronometer, My Fitness Pal, and others.With this comes an overall, overrealiance on these apps and taking all the info it provides as absolute truth.This isn't quite so, so we need to unpack this and explain the truth about how to properly use food tracker apps if you are relying on them for your calorie calculation and tracking needs.In this episode, I explain how to approach calorie estimates on food tracking apps the right way. DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is for guidance only and is not individualised advice for you! Your unique situation needs to be taken into consideration and adjusting your dietary intake.____________________________________________DOWNLOAD MY FREE MACRO NUTRITION CHEATSHEET Your Guide To Improving Your Macros & Making Meal Prep Easierhttps://theclimbingdietitian.lpages.co/macro-cheatsheet-the-climbing-dietitian/Apply for Bespoke 1:1 Macro Sherpa Nutrition Coaching Program: https://bit.ly/395QmGsCheck out and SUBSCRIBE to my YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/2Mxqs4WEmail me: aleksa@theclimbingdietitian.com.auTo find me on socials:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theclimbingingdietitianTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@theclimbingdietitianFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/theclimbingdietitianTwitter: https://twitter.com/beardyAPDLink to blog: https://bit.ly/330ULq4Check out my website for more information on me and what I do:https://www.theclimbingdietitian.com.au

Danielle sits down with Becca Murphy to unpack her personal experience with orthorexia, disordered eating, and how "doing all the right things" can quietly spiral into underfueling, overtraining, and hormonal imbalance. We're talking about the sneaky, socially acceptable behaviors that get praised in fitness culture but are actually massive red flags, especially for high-performing women navigating endurance training, weight loss, and metabolic health. From obsessive tracking with apps like MyFitnessPal, to chronic dieting, to using exercise as a coping mechanism, this episode connects the dots between control, trauma, and the way we use "health" to avoid what's really going on underneath. We also break down how low energy availability, RED-S (Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport), and chronic underfueling can show up as fatigue, poor recovery, hormone issues, and stubborn body composition changes. If you've ever felt wired and tired, stuck in rigid routines, anxious about missing a workout, or unsure how to stop tracking calories and macros… this episode is for you.   Enter the Brick Giveaway here!  Learn more about working with me  Shop my masterclasses (learn more in 60-90 minutes than years of dr appointments) Follow me on IG Follow Empowered Mind + Body on IG  Follow Becca on IG

In this episode, I'm walking you through Balanced Bodies Intelligence — the smartest nutrition coaching app on the market and the system I built to give people real coaching without the $400-$600/month price tag of 1-on-1 work. Most nutrition apps just track. They give you a calorie number on day one and leave you to figure out the rest. This one actually coaches you. It uses machine learning to analyze your weight trends, compliance, biofeedback, recovery, habits, and movement — then makes weekly decisions to cut, feed, or hold based on what your body is actually doing. I break down every feature inside the app:→ How the baseline phase and weekly decision cycle work → Why a plateau doesn't always mean "eat less" → Phase-based coaching (deficit, maintenance, controlled feeds) → The biofeedback and readiness score system → Why compliance is a confidence measure, not a judgment → Progress photos, measurements, and trend analysis → The dashboard, habit tracker, and streak system → The food optimizer and Smart Optimize feature → Flex Days for social events, dinners, and parties → The Movement Score (and why steps matter more than workouts) → Ask Your Coach — and why it stays in its lane → The 4-layer accountability system: banners, texts, emails, and at-risk detection → Weekly reports and built-in education If you've been spinning your wheels with macro calculators, MyFitnessPal, or apps that just track food without telling you what to do next — this episode is for you. Whether you're not ready for full coaching, can't afford it right now, or just need structure and accountability to finally get consistent — Balanced Bodies Intelligence is the bridge.

Tracking calories and macros works.But if you regain weight after fat loss, or your bulk spirals without MyFitnessPal, you have yet to build the foundational habits you need to continue progressing beyond the “newbie gains” stage and to maintain the results you achieve for the long haul.In this episode, I'm covering three of these six foundational habits.If you want to level up from just “hitting macros”, tune in.Links and resources:Sign up for one on one coaching with me: ⁠https://www.fittotransformtraining.com/coaching.html⁠Follow me on Instagram @nikias_fittotransform: ⁠http://instagram.com/nikias_fittotransform/⁠Visit my website: ⁠https://www.fittotransformtraining.com⁠Sign up for my free newsletter: ⁠https://mailchi.mp/157389602fb0/mailinglist⁠Subscribe to my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@nikias_fittotransform Sign up for the No Quit Kit email series on retraining your mindset for long-term fat loss success: ⁠https://mailchi.mp/4b368c26baa8/noquitkitsignup⁠Take my free “Should You Cut or Bulk First?” quiz: https://nikias-dddr9p81.scoreapp.com/ 

If you've been tracking macros for years and still don't trust yourself around food… this episode is for you! In this Boss Bitch Radio episode, I'm talking to the competitors, the ex-competitors, the MyFitnessPal queens, the women who live and die by their macro numbers. If you feel like the only way you can stay "on track" is by weighing every gram and logging every bite, we need to have a real conversation. I'm not here to bash macro tracking. It can be a powerful tool. I've used it for over a decade. I competed almost 20 times as an IFBB Pro. I know what it takes to get shredded. But I also know what it costs. If you're a competitor, former competitor, chronic dieter, or woman trying to heal your relationship with food after years of macro tracking, this episode will hit.

This episode covers: • Real Food Reset in U.S. Dietary Policy The new Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2025–2030 put real food back at the center of U.S. nutrition policy and take a direct swing at ultra processed foods, added sugar, and sugary drinks. Dave breaks down why this matters beyond personal dieting: these guidelines influence school meals, SNAP and WIC, federal feeding programs, and they shape what eventually shows up on labels and in public institutions. He also shares how biohackers can use this shift as leverage to push for better food environments in schools, workplaces, and hospitals. -Source: https://www.usda.gov/about-usda/news/press-releases/2026/01/07/kennedy-rollins-unveil-historic-reset-us-nutrition-policy-put-real-food-back-center-health • Drug Combo Extends Lifespan of Frail Old Mice by 73% A new aging study found that combining oxytocin with a compound called A5i extended the remaining lifespan of frail elderly male mice by 73%, while also improving function and tissue health. Dave explains why this is a big signal for the future of longevity medicine: stacking targeted interventions can outperform single compounds, especially when you start late in life. He also explains what to do with the idea right now: stop building random “everything stacks” and start thinking in phases, tracking outcomes, and waiting for real human combo data. -Source: https://www.futura-sciences.com/en/study-finds-drug-combo-could-slow-aging-and-increase-lifespan-by-73_23229/ • ChatGPT Health Turns Your Data Into a Health OS OpenAI launched ChatGPT Health, a dedicated health experience that lets you securely connect medical records and wellness apps like Apple Health and MyFitnessPal, so you can summarize visits, interpret labs, and prepare better questions for your doctor. Dave explains why this is a turning point for quantified self and protocol building: it reduces the friction of pulling data from five different places, and it makes pattern-finding accessible to nontechnical people. He also shares how to use it like a pro: clean inputs, smarter questions, and better doctor conversations. -Source: https://openai.com/index/introducing-chatgpt-health/ • Whole Milk Is Back in Schools The Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act restores whole and reduced-fat milk options in schools, aligning school nutrition rules with the updated dietary guidelines that no longer treat full-fat dairy like a default villain. Dave breaks down why this matters for child healthspan: satiety and nutrient density drive behavior, learning, and metabolic stability. He also explains why this is a real-world policy experiment worth watching across school districts, and how it can open the door for bigger institutional upgrades like better protein and fewer ultra processed items. -Source: https://www.usda.gov/about-usda/news/press-releases/2026/01/14/whole-milk-back-president-trump-signs-whole-milk-healthy-kids-act • Tirzepatide Trial Targets Biological Age With Aging Clocks A registered clinical trial titled Tirzepatide to Slow Biological Aging is using multiple DNA methylation aging clocks as primary endpoints, along with functional metrics like grip strength and a 6-minute walk test. Dave explains why this is a big maturity step for longevity science: instead of assuming metabolic improvement equals slower aging, this study is measuring biological age directly, across multiple clocks, with performance outcomes. He also shares the practical lesson for biohackers: stop relying on one favorite metric and start thinking in panels, function, and durability of results. -Source: https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT07220473 All source links provided for direct access to the original research and reporting. This episode is designed for biohackers, longevity seekers, and high-performance listeners who want practical strategies rooted in cutting-edge science.

Let me start this one hot and spicy for you: Counting calories isn't the answer because food isn't the problem. That's right. Food is not the problem. Especially when you've had an unhealthy obsession with calorie counting and diet culture. It's actually about control. And we give calories all the glory when in reality, choosing food based on calories doesn't even equate to the essential nutrients and vitamins that we need to thrive. Calories are simply a unit of energy. Energy that you need, sis, to function, to live, to be your best. Energy that you need to play with your kids, go out with your friends, dress up cute for a date night, do your job, clean your house, take that walk. But restrictive diets and disordered relationships with food cause this obsession with control and counting calories. And while we continue to be chained to numbers and the fixation of numbers, we're missing out on LIFE. Maybe you don't count calories, but you count other things—steps, fat grams, your weight on the scale. It's time to hang it up. It's time to stop. But I'm not just gonna ask you to stop cold turkey because we all know how that typically goes. In this episode, I'm giving you six practical steps you can take TODAY to stop counting calories so you can start counting moments that matter in your life. In this episode, you'll discover: Why food isn't the problem (control is) and what you're really searching for The shocking truth about calorie tracking apps (73% of MyFitnessPal users reported it contributed to disordered eating!) 6 actionable steps to stop counting calories for good How to transform your thinking around calories (they're energy, not the enemy) What triggers to eliminate from your life RIGHT NOW How to face the fear and challenge yourself in restaurants and at home What to count INSTEAD of calories (hint: Episode 56 has 30 ideas!) Why honoring your hunger is the key to freedom The powerful statement that will shift everything: "100 more calories won't change your life, but the decision to avoid them will" If you're obsessively counting calories, tracking your food, or constantly calculating like a mathematician how many calories you have left for the day—this episode is for you. Let's stop counting calories and start counting moments that matter. KEY QUOTES FROM THIS EPISODE

But techs say the path to get there is grueling and costly—with few making it to the top.Ted Hummel, a Senior Master Tech in Ohio, made $160K in 2025—but it took over a decade to reach.Entry-level techs often start under $10/hr and must invest tens of thousands in tools and training.The “flat rate” pay system rewards speed, not hours worked—but also means zero pay when work is slow.Physical strain is intense; many leave the profession due to injury before reaching top pay.“A bay with a lift and tools and no one to work in it,” said Ford CEO Jim Farley, calling it a nationwide crisis.https://openai.com/index/introducing-chatgpt-health/ChatGPT Enters the Health Chat: OpenAI is rolling out ChatGPT Health, a new experience designed to help users navigate health information more confidently—by connecting medical records and wellness apps securely to AI.Over 230 million people use ChatGPT weekly for health and wellness questions.The Health experience is separate from general ChatGPT chats, with extra layers of privacy and encryption.Users can link data from apps like Apple Health, MyFitnessPal, and Function for more personalized advice.Medical info stays isolated within Health and is not used for training models.Built with input from 260+ physicians, it's designed to support, not replace, clinical care.“It helps you understand patterns over time—not just moments of illness,” OpenAI said in the announcement.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

From confusing lab results to hormonal shifts to the dreaded “last 10 pounds,” we dig into what actually matters for sustainable fat loss and vibrant health… and what's just expensive noise. If you've ever walked out of a doctor's office thinking, “My labs look fine, but I feel terrible,” or wondered whether peptides, hormone therapy, or heavy-metal testing are worth your time and money, this episode will cut through the confusion with clear, honest answers. Inside This Episode:

It's better decisions from the tracking you already do, so you can build muscle, lose fat, and sustain results with less guesswork and more confidence.Timestamps0:00 - Why tracking alone isn't enough for building muscle over 40 2:18 - The missing interpretation gap that keeps you stuck 5:30 - What fitness apps actually do well (and their limitations) 9:10 - When tracking algorithms miss the root cause of your plateau 14:06 - Why recovery capacity matters more in your 40s and 50s 18:56 - How identity and behavior change drive sustainable results 22:56 - Sleep and recovery optimization for strength training 25:06 - Making personalized coaching accessible and affordable 28:56 - How adaptive training decisions improve muscle-building progress 32:16 - Analyzing meal patterns beyond calories and macros for better body compositionSupport the show

Fiber might just be the best defense against heart disease -- and you're probably not getting enough (even if you're plant-based). Cardiologist Dr. Danielle Belardo says she eats 90 grams of fiber per day. That's more than three times the recommended minimum amount for women. And she says eating more fiber can not only protect your heart, it can reverse heart disease -- even in people who have had a heart attack or stroke!   Dr. Belardo joins Chuck Carroll to break down what most people (and even some doctors) get wrong about heart health. She shares how much fiber you actually need, why some people feel bloated when they add beans or greens, and how to increase fiber intake without the discomfort.   Dr. Belardo also shares why she encourages her patients to use MyFitnessPal to easily track fiber and nutrient intake.   On this episode of The Exam Room, you'll learn: - How much fiber you actually need in a day - The best sources of fiber (that actually taste amazing!) - How to use MyFitnessPal to get more fiber in your diet - How to increase your fiber intake without the gas and bloating - What fad diets get wrong about cholesterol and heart health - What studies show about fiber's impact on heart disease   — — SHOW LINKS — — MyFitnessPal https://www.myfitnesspal.com — — — Danielle Belardo Website: https://www.precisionpreventivecardiology.com IG: https://www.instagram.com/daniellebelardomd   — — EVENTS — — International Conference on Nutrition in Medicine Where: Washington, DC When: August 14-16, 2025 Tix & Speakers: https://www.pcrm.org/icnm Use code NUTRITION50 to save $50 — — — Fit Vegan Workshop Where: Vancouver, BC, Canada When: Sept. 20-21, 2025 Tix: https://fitvegancoaching.com/vancouver-2025 Use code CHUCK to save $112 — — — Wellness Weekend Where: Canaan Valley Resort - Davis, WV When: Sept. 26-27, 2025 Tix & Speakers: https://www.brendaworkmanspeaks.com/wellness-weekend   — —EXAM ROOM NEWSLETTER — — Sign up: https://www.pcrm.org/examroomvip   — — THIS IS US — — The Exam Room Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theexamroompodcast — — — Chuck Carroll Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ChuckCarrollWLC Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ChuckCarrollWLC X: https://www.twitter.com/ChuckCarrollWLC — — — Physicians Committee Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/physicianscommittee Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PCRM.org X: https://www.twitter.com/pcrm YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/PCRM Jobs: https://www.pcrm.org/careers   — — SUBSCRIBE & SHARE — — 5-Star Success: Share Your Story Apple: https://apple.co/2JXBkpy​​ Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2pMLoY3 — — — Please subscribe and give the show a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or many other podcast providers.
