Jen Widerstrom: The Psychology Behind Why You Know What to Do to Get in Shape and Still Don't Do It | Truth Serum with Tyler Minton | Ep.036

I sit down with Jen Widerstrom, trainer, performance coach, and former Biggest Loser trainer who has spent over two decades working with everyone from professional athletes to everyday people. What she'll tell you is that the gap between knowing and doing has almost nothing to do with information. It's all in your head. Jen gets into the psychology of behavior change, why people fail the same diet for the fifth time and call it a new problem, how shame and environment shape our relationship with food, and why removing all judgment isn't always the answer. She opens up about her own journey with disordered eating, being an overweight kid who found wrestling and never looked back, and what working on The Biggest Loser taught her about what people are really carrying when they walk in the door. She also gets into her work with Arnold Schwarzenegger's Pump Club, the difference between coaching for performance versus aesthetics versus health, and why she thinks most coaches are ruining their clients' motivation with too much information.   ✅ Fuel Your Performance – Protekt Products Electrolytes that actually work.

The Engineer Who Became One of the Best Grapplers on Earth | DeAndre Corbe | Truth Serum with Tyler Minton | Ep.034

DeAndre Corbe didn't take the obvious path to becoming an elite grappler. He came up through Muay Thai, built a career as an engineer, and somewhere along the way decided the mat was where he was supposed to be. In this episode, he breaks down what that transition actually looked like, walking away from a stable career to go all in on professional grappling, and what it cost him to get there. We get into his evolution from striking to submission grappling, the mindset shift that comes with competing at an elite level, and what he and his younger brother Gavin built together with Black Box Grappling Club. Running a gym with family is a whole different kind of pressure, and DeAndre doesn't sugarcoat it.   ✅ Fuel Your Performance – Protekt Products Electrolytes that actually work.

God Is Good, Enemy 3K North | Aaron Love on the Iran Rescue, Maduro Raid, and Ghost Murmur | Truth Serum with Tyler Minton | Ep.033

Aaron Love is a retired Air Force Pararescueman, co-owner of the Ones Ready podcast, and one of the most unfiltered voices in the veteran space. He went through PJ selection four times before earning the beret, and he hasn't stopped paying attention since he got out. In this episode we get into the Iran rescue of the downed F-15 pilot, the Maduro raid and the weapons used on the ground that the public is just now hearing about, including a portable sonic weapon and a CIA tool called Ghost Murmur that can isolate a human heartbeat from hundreds of miles away. Aaron also breaks down why he thinks the Iran campaign makes more sense than most people realize, what Ones Ready is doing to prepare the next generation for the pipeline, and why staying physically capable after service isn't optional. No filter. No party line. Just a guy who's seen it from the inside.   Follow Aaron & One's Ready https://www.instagram.com/aaron_loves_america/?locale=fr&hl=en   https://www.instagram.com/onesready/?locale=fr&hl=en   ✅ Fuel Your Performance – Protekt Products Electrolytes that actually work.

Powerlifting, Purpose & a Near-Death Experience That Changed Everything | Stuart Locke | Truth Serum with Tyler Minton | EP.032

Last December, Stuart Locke, the coach and mind behind Kodiak Barbell, nearly didn't come home. An allergic reaction to anesthetic left him fighting for his life, and his wife facing decisions no spouse should ever have to make. He made it through. And he believes he knows exactly why. In this episode of Truth Serum Podcast, Stuart opens up about the experience that tested everything: his body, his identity, and his faith. We get into how it has reshaped the way he thinks about coaching, strength, and what it means to truly show up for the people in your corner. We also go deep on what makes Kodiak Barbell different. Stuart's coaching philosophy, how he builds athletes who are mentally and physically tough, his approach to powerlifting programming, and the culture he has built around the barbell. If you train, compete, or coach, or if you have ever faced something that made you question what you are really made of, this one is for you. In this episode:   Stuart's near-death experience and the role his Christian faith played in his survival The Kodiak Barbell philosophy and what it demands of athletes How Stuart programs for strength and powerlifting performance Coaching identity and what it means to develop athletes, not just build numbers.   Follow Stuart & Kodiak Barbell https://www.instagram.com/stu_kodiakbarbell/?hl=en   ✅ Fuel Your Performance – Protekt Products Electrolytes that actually work.
