Fitness advice is everywhere. Most of it either overcomplicates things or pretends getting in shape is the only thing you have going on in your life. This podcast is the opposite. I talk about getting leaner, getting stronger, eating better, building habits that stick, and navigating all the messy stuff in between—based on what I've learned through years of coaching, formal education, and figuring plenty of it out myself. Sometimes, we'll even wander outside of fitness too!
