29. The 4 Foundational Habits for a Sustainable Fitness Journey (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A diet is a phase of the journey… it's not supposed to BE the journey. But once the diet is over we revert back to past habits and behaviors that made us want to make a change in the first place... So we go from being ALL IN → to realizing we can't realistically maintain such a dialed-in approach to our goals → to falling completely off track. And then we start over again. And again. And again. That's the classic cycle of "yo-yo" dieting. In order to break the cycle we have to understand that a
27. Healthcare is covered by insurance - Illness is an out of pocket expense (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There's a difference between surviving and thriving, and most don't notice a difference until we're already stuck in a cycle of managing health issues that stem from years of avoiding basic habits that keep your body thriving.

We are so focused on managing numbers and chasing quick fixes that we keep skipping the basics that actually determine how we age, how we feel, and how long we thrive. Dr. Melanie Icard is a functional medicine doctor who has spent her career asking why - not just treating what shows up on a standard lab panel,
The Basics Done Consistently for YOUR Body Beat Generic Fitness Advice Every Time — with Morgan Rojas, LMT (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Two practitioners in two completely different fields come to the same conclusions. In this episode I sit down with Morgan Rojas, Licensed Massage Therapist and founder of Find Aligned, and what struck me most about this conversation is how differently we got to the same place. Morgan works with the body from the outside through muscle, fascia, and nervous system regulation. I work with it from the inside through nutrition, strength training, and habits. But when it comes to what actually moves t
