    In this episode of The Your Level Fitness Podcast, I’m talking about why I focus more on mindset and headspace than on tactical eating and exercise tips. There’s no shortage of programs and influencers out there who tell you exactly what to eat or how to train, but the truth is, that kind of advice often misses the point. Your mindset drives everything you do, and until you work on what’s happening inside, the external stuff won’t stick for long.

    I share why most of the content I put out is designed to get you thinking differently about your approach to fitness, food, and life. It’s not about following another strict plan or chasing someone else’s routine. It’s about learning to enjoy the process, being honest with yourself, and approaching your goals with optimism and self-compassion instead of criticism and guilt.

    You’ll also hear a little about my latest local project, the YLF cookie, and how it connects to the same philosophy I coach — enjoying what you eat, having fun along the way, and finding balance in your day-to-day life. I also talk about therapy, journaling, and the daily emails I create to help you build consistency from the inside/out.

    If you’re looking for a mindset-first approach to health and fitness that feels grounded, honest, and sustainable, this one’s for you. Because the truth is, you don’t need another plan. You need a mindset that allows you to build one that actually fits you.

    In this episode of The Your Level Fitness Podcast, I’m talking about how to figure out what actually works for you on your weight loss journey. There’s no universal formula that fits everyone, no matter what exercise science or nutrition experts say. The truth is that your life isn’t lived in a lab, and what works for one person might not work for you.

    If you’ve been on this journey for a while and feel like you’ve never fully “got it,” this conversation is for you. We’ll talk about why building a foundation around your personal preferences is the real key to lasting consistency. When you start with what you enjoy and can sustain, you’ll get better results and find it easier to maintain them.

    I’ll also break down the basics of what I believe applies to everyone — balancing resistance, endurance, and flexibility training while eating nutrient-dense foods and drinking enough water. From there, it’s all about shaping your own plan and learning how to be consistent through practice, not perfection.

    This episode is your reminder that you’re the architect of your health journey. Once you build your foundation, you can train like an athlete, eat like one, or simply live in a way that feels right for you. It all starts with figuring out what works best for you and sticking with it long enough to see results that last.

    In this episode of The Your Level Fitness Podcast, Daryl talks about a different approach to weight loss—one that doesn’t require you to “get used to being hungry.” Instead of forcing yourself to follow restrictive plans that leave you miserable, this episode helps you focus on building a sustainable eating structure that works for your real life.

    Daryl shares how to find the most food you can eat while still losing weight consistently by dialing in your meal frequency, hydration, produce intake, and protein targets. He explains how these factors not only keep you full but also set the stage for long-term success—decades, not weeks.

    You’ll learn how to balance satisfaction and progress without guilt or anxiety, how to track your weight trends over time instead of obsessing over weekly fluctuations, and how to trust yourself to make adjustments when the time is right.

    If you’re tired of hearing that hunger is part of the process, this episode is for you. You’ll walk away knowing that you can eat well, feel satisfied, and still make progress on your weight loss journey while strengthening the most important relationship of all—the one you have with yourself.

    In this episode of The Your Level Fitness Podcast, I walk you through why the victories you celebrate and the opportunities you notice matter just as much as the actions you take. Fitness is simple on the surface — eat in a calorie deficit, move your body consistently, manage your schedule — but what makes or breaks the process is how you view yourself while doing it.

    For years the fitness industry has told you to dislike your body now so you’ll change it later. But that mindset leads to constant self-criticism and a tug of war you can never win. Instead, the shift comes when you start seeing every step forward as a win. Whether it’s choosing not to snooze one extra time, hitting a workout, or showing up for yourself in the middle of a hard day, these are victories worth recognizing.

    I share why reframing your journey from a place of self-love and appreciation makes all the difference, and why the YLF philosophy is all about rewriting the story the industry has handed you. As someone living with cerebral palsy, I know firsthand that loving and appreciating the body you have is a choice you can make daily. Join me in choosing to see the victories, connect with yourself, and build a forever active lifestyle that feels sustainable and enjoyable.

    In this episode of The Your Level Fitness Podcast, I’m breaking down how to shift your headspace around eating, exercise, and self-perception. Living an inside/out life begins with observing your thoughts without judgment, naming what you feel, and then reframing the story you tell yourself. This process isn’t about perfection, it’s about practice, patience, and consistently reinforcing new beliefs.

    We talk about how to identify thought loops, disrupt patterns that hold you back, and build the skill of responding differently to old triggers. This is hard work, but it’s also the path to creating calmness, control, and confidence in your weight loss journey and beyond. I also share why therapy can be a powerful tool for untangling these emotions, and how this mindset-first approach connects to every other part of your life.

    You’ll walk away from this episode with practical steps to observe, name, and reframe your thoughts, and a reminder that you are capable of building a well-worn path toward self-belief and lasting change.

    In this episode of The Your Level Fitness Podcast I dive into the connection between habits, motivation, and the core beliefs you hold about yourself. Your beliefs drive your actions, and your actions shape the results you see not only in weight loss but in every area of life. If you have been stuck in the start and stop cycle that the fitness industry often reinforces, it is time to look deeper at what you believe about yourself.

    I share why building a foundation of consistency around your preferences is the key to making this sustainable. From how to reframe setbacks, to why consistency is a skill you can develop, to how habits eventually reduce the mental tug of war, this conversation will help you move forward with less pressure and more clarity. I also talk about the role therapy can play in untangling the deeper layers of self-image and why loving and appreciating yourself at every stage is the only way to truly win the long game.

    Whether you are just starting out, coming back after a setback, or even in maintenance but still struggling with how you feel about yourself, this inside/out approach will help you trust yourself and continue building a lifestyle you can actually enjoy.

    Your environment plays a bigger role in your weight loss journey than you might realize. In this episode of The Your Level Fitness Podcast I break down how the spaces and people around you directly shape your fitness mindset. From setting up your kitchen with visual cues that make healthy choices easier to recognizing the influence of the people closest to you, I share practical ways to build an environment that supports your forever active lifestyle.

    I also dive into how to adapt when you are in less supportive environments, why it is important to focus on your ability to make choices confidently, and how your surroundings can impact both your food and exercise routines. By taking an inside/out approach, you learn to trust yourself and build a foundation that helps you stay consistent no matter what challenges come up.

    This is about more than willpower. It is about designing your environment in a way that frees up your energy and makes success more sustainable.

    In this episode of The Your Level Fitness Podcast I dive into how setting up your environment can make your weight loss journey easier and more sustainable. The fitness industry pushes unrealistic expectations, but what we can actually control are the choices we make daily and the space we build around us. This means being intentional with the food you keep on hand, how you organize it, and the routines you create to support your goals.

    We also look at how routines go beyond food. Morning structure, exercise habits, and even bedtime wind-down rituals can set you up for success. I share my own practices, including how I keep healthier foods visible and build a morning workout routine that runs on autopilot. The goal is to create an environment where your actions support your inside/out life and where you’re reinforcing self-connection every single day.

    I’d love to hear about the strategies you use to shape your environment and routines. Email me at daryl@yourlevelfitness.com and share what’s been working for you.
