If your body was a business… would you invest in it — or would you shut it down?

In this episode, we’re breaking down why the highest-performing CEOs, dads, leaders, and business owners treat their training like a non-negotiable meeting. Because the truth is—your body isn’t a luxury. It’s leverage.

We dive into what fitness really gives you (mental clarity, energy, confidence, emotional regulation), how to start training like a leader—not an influencer—and the exact habits you can implement this week to level up your performance in and out of the gym.

If you lead a business, a family, or a team… your energy matters. And it’s time to start treating your health like the asset it is.

Let’s be honest, nutrition advice is confusing as hell.

One person says carbs are the enemy, another says fat will kill you. Detox teas are still a thing for some reason. And eggs are still getting unnecessary hate.

If you’ve ever felt like you have no idea what to believe… you’re not alone.

In this episode, we’re breaking down 6 nutrition myths that are still screwing people up—and giving you the truth, the science, and the actual practical info you need to make this whole thing way easier (and less miserable).

Most people are out of touch with their body.

They eat based on what their friend is doing.

What their macro calculator told them.

What some fitness influencer posted with a cute caption.

And then wonder why they feel bloated, low energy, constantly craving sugar, or stuck in the same cycle.

In this episode, we’re calling that out and helping you reconnect to the only nutrition plan that actually works long-term—the one built for your body.

We dive into:

• Why most people have no idea what foods actually fuel them
• What it actually means to “listen to your body” (without the fluffy intuitive eating BS)
• How to rebuild trust with your hunger, energy, digestion, and cravings
• Real steps to start experimenting with what works for you
• How to stop copying someone else’s plan and start owning your own

If you’ve ever felt like nutrition is just guesswork… or like your body’s constantly working against you—this one’s for you.

What’s the best diet?

No seriously — with all the noise out there, how are you actually supposed to know what to follow?

If you’ve ever felt confused, overwhelmed, or like you’ve tried everything and nothing sticks — this one’s for you.

In today’s episode, we’re breaking down the most common diets out there. We walk through:

• Why each one became popular
• The pros and cons
• Who they might work for — and who they definitely won’t
• And how to start eating in a way that actually fits you

Because the truth is — all diets work… until they don’t.

And it’s not about finding the trendiest one.

It’s about figuring out what’s actually sustainable for your body and lifestyle.

These are tools that work even if:

• You don’t have hours to spend at the gym
• You’re juggling kids, work, or travel
• You’ve struggled to stay consistent in the past

This episode isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing what actually works—in a way that fits your life.
