EPISODE 216 Stop Making Food Mean Shit

EPISODE 216 Stop Making Food Mean Shit

Today we're talking about one of the biggest reasons people struggle with nutrition. And no... It's not carbs. It's not sugar. It's not fast food. It's not that you lack motivation. It's because somewhere along the way we've started making food mean a bunch of shit it was never supposed to mean. Let me show you what I mean.

EPISODE 215 Weightloss vs. Toning

Today we're talking about one of the most common goals I hear from people. And I mean...every damn day. I sit down on a discovery call and ask: "So what are your goals?" And almost every single time the answer is: "I want to lose weight and tone up." Now before anyone gets defensive, that's not a bad goal. It's just that most people don't actually understand what they're saying. Because weight loss and toning are not the same thing. In fact, they're often pulling in completely different directions. It's kind of like saying: "I want to spend less money while buying more stuff." Can it happen? Maybe. But we should probably understand what's actually going on first. So let's break this down.

EPISODE 214 16 weeks out!!!

The Health Podcast. Today is a special one. Because as of right now... I am officially 16 weeks out from stepping on stage at my first international bodybuilding show. And honestly? Even saying those words out loud feels absolutely insane. Because this September I'll be heading to Texas to compete at the Summer Shredding Championship. The biggest bodybuilding event I've ever been a part of. The biggest stage I've ever stepped on.

EPISODE 213 Social media has completely fucked our sense of reality

Today I want to talk about something that honestly blew my mind this week. Not nutrition. Not training. Not fat loss. But something that is quietly screwing with almost every single person's self-worth. Social media. Now before you think this is going to be some old man yelling at clouds type of episode, that's not where we're going. I use social media every day. My business exists because of social media. I've met incredible people because of social media. But I think we've become so immersed in it that we've completely lost our sense of reality. And I had a conversation with a client this week that perfectly illustrates what I mean.

EPISODE 212 Carbs aren't making you fat

Today we're talking about one of the most misunderstood things in nutrition... Carbohydrates. Because holy shit... If I had a dollar for every time someone told me carbs made them fat, I'd probably own a private island by now. Apparently rice is public enemy number one. Potatoes are apparently trying to assassinate your abs. And fruit has somehow become a gateway drug to obesity. Meanwhile people are crushing three Starbucks drinks, sitting for twelve hours a day, sleeping four hours a night... But yes... Let's continue blaming the fucking banana.
