FS 76: "Food's that pretend to be healthy" pt. II featuring Becky Hanson (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What actually makes a food “healthy”? In this special Fit with Beck, CommUNITY Call crossover, Josh and Austin are joined by Becky to talk about foods that wear a health halo and why things like granola, smoothies, protein bars, salads, nut butters, coffee, and the flood of “high-protein” products aren’t always what they seem. We break down how marketing, portion sizes, calorie density, protein content, ingredients, and even our own assumptions can influence the way we view food. And yes, we roa
FS 75: Breakfast Foods We Keep in Rotation (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Episode 75 is all about breakfast—the meals we keep coming back to, why simple usually wins, and how having a few reliable go-to options can make eating well a whole lot easier. We break down our favorite breakfast rotations, talk protein, smoothies, eggs, leftovers, convenience, and whether breakfast food even needs to be “breakfast food.” As always, the conversation drifts beyond the plate, with a few debates, some laughs, and a deeper question for each of us to close things out.

What’s actually a healthy body fat percentage—and is lower always better? This week, Austin and Josh break down body fat for men and women, the difference between getting lean and actually living lean, and why chasing abs might not be the health goal people think it is. We talk about athletic versus sustainable body fat levels, strength, hormones, energy and performance. As always, we finish with a few questions to get to know each other a little better—and probably learn a few things we didn’t
FS 72: Austin & Dani's 2nd Anniversary Episode (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Austin and Dani are celebrating two years of marriage and somehow they’ve packed about a decade of life into it. Since saying “I do,” they’ve bought a house, moved, navigated Dani’s career as a full-time remote teacher, watched Austin leave factory life to pursue personal training and a teaching degree, and welcomed their son, Frazier, into the family. In this episode, we look back on the expectations versus reality of marriage, the chaos of becoming new parents, building a home and traditions,
