The phrase "you've got cancer" is something that we all hope that we never have to hear. Now imagine hearing that when you are 38 weeks pregnant with your 5th child. That is where Jen Hartney was when she got her cancer diagnosis. This episode is going to leave you inspired! Jen and I cover the following topics in our interview: *The key mindset shifts she made after her diagnosis. *The reasons why she chose to not do chemotherapy or hormone therapy. *The specific changes she made with her nutri...

The world of health and fitness is a super exciting place to be right now. It seems like new exciting bio hacks are being revealed every day. This has been a rapidly growing trend ever since I was in college. I remember taking classes as an exercise science major and thinking "Man....this stuff is way outdated compared to what I'm learning on the internet!". So with all of this new amazing info......I've noticed a problem popping up. People are feeling like they are "falling behind" if they aren...

So there is a really common trap that I think we all tend to fall into from time to time......or all the time.....myself included. We get to thinking along the lines of "If I could just make XYZ happen then things will get easy for me!". In working with clients I will hear comments like: "If I can just lose 30lbs I will have this diet thing figured out and it's going to be smooth sailing from there!" "If I can just get this big promotion then I will be able to afford to take more time for the gy...

TIME.....it's our most valuable resource and it seems like we never have enough. Unfortunately when we are running low on time the things that tend to get squeezed out of the schedule include our workouts, meal prep, sleep, and rejuvenation time. So we are all out there going 100 mph through our days as we cut out the things that we need to live a long, healthy life.........this is obviously a recipe for disaster. In this episode I'm going to cover the four lies that we all tend to tell ourselve...

Ordinary....Superpowers......What? I know, the term kind of contradicts itself at first, but once you listen to my interview with author Mark Henson it will 100% make sense! You see, we are all given a certain set of abilities, skills, and talents that we totally ROCK at and many times we take them for granted and assume that everyone can do those things just as good as we can, but that isn't the case! These are our ordinary superpowers and this week we are going to learn how to put them to good...

It's always nice to see someone just light up their transformation right from the start. What I have discovered though is that there is always a little bit more behind these people that seem to be "overnight success stories".....and the story we are telling this week was a year and a half in the making. Nick Bragin has 100% been on FIRE with his transformation. He is one of the most coachable clients that I've had in recent memory but it took him a year and a half to get his WHY, his motivation,...

"One day or day one?.....You get to choose." I was listening to one of my favorite podcasts called The Minimalists and the above quote struck a chord. One of the biggest transformation traps that I see people fall into is when they sit and wait for the perfect time to get started. People will start: Tomorrow....."because I'm already off to a rough start today and I might as well enjoy myself for just one more day!" Next Monday......."because it's the beginning of the week!" Next week....."becaus...

All of my loyal podcast listeners know that I close each show with the same phrase "Own It: every meal, every workout, every day".

This is especially important when you have a goal of transforming your body and lifestyle.

This week we are going to take another deep dive into our transformation danger zones. I define a danger zone as anything that causes a momentum shift in your transformation process from positive to negative.

This week I had a great client strategy session with Chad B. This one was a little bit unique compared to my other strategy sessions because Chad is a relatively new client of mine. He's just six weeks into his transformation program and doing an awesome job with it so far! I thought it would be interesting to have him come onto the podcast and talk about the types of issues that people face when they are first starting out with one of my programs and then get into some "next steps" strategy. We...

So this week's topic is going to be focused around a question that I get a LOT from concerned new clients: "Dude.....I've been logging my meals and tracking my fitness for like an entire MONTH....am I going to have to do this forever??". So this question will pop up in several variations but they are always centered around the thought of people stressing about the amount of mental focus and overall time it takes to be "on a plan" and they are worried that it will always be like that. Today I'm h...

I know that so many of us have been there. We crush our new program and drop 20-30lbs and then.....it slowly starts to creep back on...pound by pound....inch by inch....until you are back where you started or even worse off. At this point it is really easy to go to a bad place mentally. It is so easy to tell ourselves something along the lines of "man I know how hard that was the first time and now it is REALLY going to suck!"...... So I want to show you a few tips to shift your mindset so you c...

We are rounding up another year so this is a great time to talk about measuring progress! So here's the problem with progress. We all want it, crave it, and need it BUT once we get "there" we don't celebrate it hardly at all and we just scale up our goals to the next level. Then there is the situation where we don't "get there" or at least not fast enough......that creates a whole new monster to deal with.

We all know how easy it is to get a little stuck in a typical daily process. We wake up, get the kids off to school, go to work, visit with kids after school, go t...
