I hesitate to make episodes like this because "mental advice" from people is usually vague and hard to implement. I also don't want to sound preachy, like I don't struggle with these exact things I'm "teaching." But I wanted to make it because I've found these tips helpful. Close friends have found them helpful. And the clients I work with have fou…

Deciding what to track is largely up to the individual and their expectations around progress. In my experience working with hundreds of people, and through years of tracking myself, you get much better results if you track a few key things. In this podcast, I talk about who needs to track, why it's necessary to track, what most people get wrong wh…

Too many people get caught up in the minutia when it comes to losing weight: brown rice vs white? Intermittent fasting or keto? One protein shake or two protein shakes per day? These questions are all missing the forest for the trees. What these questions are missing is problem solving from a "first principles" approach. A first principle is a foun…

No new episode for this week, so we're throwing it back to last year's retrospective. A retrospective is when you look back on the past year to identify what worked... and what didn't work. A retrospective helps you celebrate your wins and identify your weaknesses. It helps you learn from the past and correct for the future. In this solo episode, I…

No matter your age, the basics should be the foundation of your workout program. But as you get older and busier, there are external variables that you need to consider more and more. Working out when you're 20 will be different than 30, 30 will be different than 40, and so forth. In this solo episode, I cover strategies that are helpful at any age…

If you don't know who he is, Tim Ferriss is a best-selling author and host of one of the top podcasts out right now. One of his most popular books is called "Tribe of Mentors," where he asked world-class performers 11 questions (listed below) and recorded their answers. In this solo episode, I went through and answered each one myself. Enjoy! Quest…

One of the biggest things I help my coaching clients with is gaining clarity. After I help them come up with concrete goals and a plan to reach it, their results (and motivation) skyrockets. But, along the way, sometimes that clarity can fizzle out and we need to re-visit our plan going forward. In this Minisode, I break down how I've helped my cli…

The focus of any type of workout or nutrition plan should be to increase consistency. Assuming the plan is effective, the only thing holding you back from getting results is actually doing the work. AKA, following through on your commitments. In this solo episode, I talk about the three ways that I use and help my clients use to increase their cons…

Holidays are around the corner and it can be tricky to navigate your fitness goals during this time. Do you let loose and eat whatever you want? Do you keep it tight and stay on track? What about when random relatives comment on what you eat or how you look? How do you prevent yourself from saying "screw it" and gaining tons of weight by the new ye…

Often times the biggest culprits behind slowing our progress are the ones we don't even know we're doing. Sure, we often know we need to work out more and make better food choices, but what about our blind spots? In this Minisode, I talk about the most common ones I've seen over my years of coaching hundreds of people myself, along with what I've p…

I've never been someone who plans out their whole week on Sunday. I know I probably should, but I don't. That said, I've realized there are a few rules and strategies I use to do the minimum effective dose of planning. You can do most of it in your head, but it'd likely work better to write it down at first. In this solo episode, I cover five nutri…

After being in the fitness game for a decade, you start noticing patterns. When you also coach hundreds of people, you see more patterns. In this Minisode, I break down five ways to overcome common mental obstacles that I've seen hold so many back. It's easy to get overwhelmed, but these five tips will help guide you onto the right path so you can …

At only 24 years old, Des is killing the game on all fronts: business, fitness, life, love, and more. We had a great conversation, starting with her athletic background as a collegiate volleyball player, then transitioning into her blow-up on social media, and finally diving into how she handles being a legit business owner. She has an entire team …

I can't believe it's taken me this long to talk more in-depth on this subject, but I had a friend ask me about it. The Keto Diet has gained more popularity over the 5 years or so and many people have seen great success. But most, by far, have failed with it being a long-term strategy. That said, there are some pros and cons with it, and that's what…

I met James a few months back in Austin, TX for the first time through some mutual friends and we instantly hit it off. James is positive, high-energy, and always brings the best vibes. That same personality shined today in our chat together and I can't wait to share it with you. James has a career in corporate wellness and, on the side, he is an o…

You better bookmark this Minisode because I'm sharing all the secrets. This is the exact "formula" I use at the beginning of a fat loss phase with any client that signs up to work with me 1:1. If you follow it, you will be much better off than using any type of random math equation or calorie calculator. To make it easy on you, I've also included m…

I've had a couple of conversations with Alex off-air and they usually last at least 2 hours, so I knew we'd have no problems dropping some condensed wisdom for you today. Alex is the head of product and strategy for the very prestigious educational company: The Personal Training Development Center (the "PTDC"). I look to him for advice on many thin…

These are my favorite types of Minisodes to do because I get to let you guys in on my weird tips that make my life better. I'm constantly tinkering with how to improve my well-being or health, so it's fun to share them here. There's a mix of both lifestyle tips and fitness tips, and I think they'll really make a difference if you take them seriousl…

The chemistry of this episode with Sam was incredible and I'm so excited for you all to hear this one. I was recently on Sam's podcast, Transformation Talks, and we really hit it off. So, of course, I had to return the favor and he did not disappoint. Sam is an online nutrition coach, fat loss specialist, and a genuine dude with sick tattoos coveri…

There are typically two camps of lifters when it comes to warm-ups: 1) those who skip them entirely and 2) those who take way too damn long with their foam rolling, mobility drills, core activation, yoga, sun worshiping, etc. As usual, the answer lies in the middle. And in this Minisode, I cover the basics of what you need in a warm-up and cool-dow…

I was happy to share some big news in this solo episode! I'm stoked to announce that I've become a Legion Athletics "athlete." Legion is the #1 best-selling brand of all-natural sports nutrition supplements. That's right—I've sold my soul to the supplement industry! ...but not really. I actually just really love everything Legion represents. I've h…

This one was a banger. I went on quite a few rants and I might hurt some feelings. But, as I state in the Minisode, sometimes feelings need to be hurt because it can be a catalyst to change. I hope that's exactly what happens with this one. Well, I don't *want* to hurt your feelings, but if it's for your own good — you're welcome. We all need that …

I was SO excited to have my first ever threesome today... on the podcast. I've never had two guests on the show at the same time, but I couldn't think of a better combo than Jared and Rico. Jared is an online fitness coach, speaker, podcaster, and business owner of Hamilton Trained. Rico has worked with some of the best fitness coaches in the indus…

Fall is here, which means tailgating season is upon us. And here's the thing: we don't want to be the person who has to say 'no' to all the delicious tailgating food, but we also want to eat according to our goals at the same time. I say why not both? As usual, there's a middle ground. In this Minisode, I give my best advice and tactics on how to e…

This was such a fun in-person podcast with my good friend, and fellow fitness coach, Austin Current. He's been on the podcast several times before and we always touch on unique topics, with a hint of ball-busting. In this episode, we covered: -Understanding the literal reality of time passing -Our experience of life up to this point -Comparing movi…

First things first, I need to make it clear that you should be following some type of plan in the gym. If you're just winging it, you don't know if you're making progress or not because you have too much variety. So, get a plan. Next, you need to figure out how to make that plan adaptable to your ever-changing lifestyle. If your plan calls for 4 da…

In this solo episode, I decided to touch on a topic that is gaining popularity every year. We're all looking for the fountain of youth. Luckily, modern science, medicine, and technology are all getting better by the minute. Some things we can control, some things we can't. But in this episode, I touched on what the latest science says that you *can…

No new Minisode for this week, so we're throwing it back to one of my most popular editions. I had an online coaching client ask me, "at what point in a diet do you risk eating too few calories and start losing muscle mass?" It's a great question and one I don't think people consider enough. Most just worry about the number on the scale going down …

A quick definition of "leverage": a force multiplier of your effort, skills, and judgment. It's how to increase your input-to-output ratio. How can we change 10% in one area of our life that can generate a 100% improvement to our life? In this solo episode, I give eight different high leverage activities in fitness, nutrition, life, and more. Hope …

This topic came from a listener, but it's one that I've spent a lot of time thinking about. I still don't have a fool-proof answer. I think I'm getting close, though, and that's what I wanted to share in this Minisode. Often times our self-worth being tied up in our physique is a disguise for something deeper. Finding that can be hard, and painful.…

No new episode for this week, so we're throwing it back to one of my favorite episodes with one of my favorite people, Carter Good. This was an absolute banger of an episode. He returns to the podcast after a hiatus away and reminded me why I chose him as my very first guest on The More Than Fitness Podcast. If you scroll back, you'll see Carter on…

A lot of the 1:1 fat loss clients I work with travel for their careers, so they frequent airports and I help navigate their fitness plans while away. I also travel a decent amount myself, so I've spent my fair share around airports and in planes. In this Minisode, I cover everything I've learned about making your airport trip as stress-free as poss…

I was so happy to have the opportunity to talk to my man, Jake. We met through Instagram and actually got the chance to meet up in person when I was living in NYC. We had coffee, walked around the city, and really hit it off. Just like that chat, this one was effortless. And as the title suggests, things got pretty vulnerable, which only made it th…

I wanted to be blunt in this one. The Intermittent Fasting (IF) benefits have been shouted from the rooftops for a while, so I had to give an objective look at the pros and cons. IF *can* work well for many people, but it can also exacerbate deeper issues in others. I just want to make sure you have all the facts about fat loss, autophagy, gaining …

Solo episode for you guys today, but I don't think it'll disappoint. In this episode, I cover why the goals you're picking might be causing you to fail more often, and how to pick better ones. In certain "seasons" of your life, it doesn't make sense to try to lose fat (for example), so simply "trying harder" won't be your solution. I talk about non…

Any time someone wants my help with their fat loss goals, they tell me they've been trying to "clean up" their diet lately. After hearing this so often, I figured it'd make sense to create a Minisode around what that actually means. I wanted to touch on the basic strategies that have been proven time and time again. In addition to that, I wanted to…

This was an excellent episode with Yusef on many of my favorite subjects. I've been following Yusef on Twitter more closely recently and I knew I had to get him on my show after seeing tons of overlap in our interests. He has his PhD and is a legit doctor, on top of being a fitness and business coach, and content creator. He's been running Propane …

If you follow fitness people on social media, in magazines, or on podcasts, it can seem that you need to be in a perpetual state of "watching your diet." You need to always be in a calorie deficit or tracking what you eat if you want to get lean and stay lean. But, to me, this is no way to live. There's a time and place to be focused on your fat lo…

Chase is a former health coach, Army veteran, and the podcast host of Ever Forward Radio. I recently came across Chase after I had seen a few of my friends and colleagues mention him and his podcast. I checked out his IG and his show, and it ticked all the boxes for me to invest more time into it. I loved his message and he seemed like a very perso…

I wanted to create this list to give some insight into WHY I choose some exercises over others. It's inevitable that you're going to have to adapt your workouts at some point based on what you enjoy, the equipment available to you, what's most efficient for your time, and more. This Minisode breaks down why I like these five lifts specifically, and…

This was one of my favorite podcasts I've done in a long time. It's probably not a surprise that it's with someone who hosts one of the biggest podcasts in the world, but that doesn't take away the richness of this convo. I look up to Adam in many ways, so it was fun to ask some selfish questions that actually turned into really valuable—and someti…

This is a boring topic, but a value-packed Minisode for the people who care about squeezing every last bit of progress. In this Minisode, I cover which macronutrients are most important and why, I give four reasons why carbs are so crucial for fat loss and muscle gain, and I give my final verdict on which I think is actually better for fat loss bas…

Since you’re listening to this, it means you’re probably an ambitious person. But that ambition can come at a cost. We constantly want more, and find it hard to accept where we are or how far we’ve come. In this episode, I cover how to deal with this paradox, both from a philosophical and practical perspective. In case you really enjoy this episode…

Body image, self-esteem, and "body positivity" is a big movement right now, and for good reason. But I don't know if I agree with the *methods* some people are touting as effective for these complex topics. So, in this Minisode, I break down some of the psychology behind these topics in four different ways, along with how to apply it today. Hope it…

This was a very easy-going chat with my new friend, Sal. We connected on social media and I loved her message about empowering women and spreading a health-centric approach to fitness. Sal is an online fitness coach who helps women get strong, from the inside out. She studied neuroscience in college, dabbles in fitness modeling, and is the founder …

Hitting on a subject that could crush some dreams if the consensus doesn't lean towards their favor. But, luckily for both sides, the answer isn't so cut and dry. There are pros and cons to energy drinks, and it will be up to the individual if they're worth it or not. These are the questions I answer in this Minisode: -What's in an energy drink? -D…

Those who know my work know that I'm all about sustainability and balance, so it might be a surprise when I recommend that *sometimes* rapid fat loss is better than slow fat loss. Sometimes you need to go all-in and get obsessive over a goal. Sometimes you have an event planned a few months from now and need to get into shape quickly. There's plent…

Emily and I hit it off well in this one and I'm excited to share it with you guys. It was a casual, but interesting, conversation that highlighted her laid-back personality.

A small twist from our usual fitness content on these Minisodes, but this is also why it's called "The More Than Fitness Podcast." Plus, this was a listener question and I think anybody's life would improve with more/better friendships. Question (thanks, Katie): Advice on moving to a new city, meeting new people, and doing so while in your late twe…
