In this episode, I share some thoughts on managing hunger.. both when you’re in a calorie deficit and in everyday life.We’ll talk about what drives hunger (like leptin, ghrelin, and even GLP-1/GIP meds), why it ramps up during dieting, and simple ways to keep it in check through food choices, lifestyle habits, and mindset shifts.If hunger has been making things harder than they need to be, this one’s for you.Where to find me:IG: @lukesmithrdCheck out my website HEREFill out a 1:1 coaching application HERE
My daughter just hit 4 months and lately... it’s the small things that've been hitting the hardest. The laughs. The eye contact. The tiny milestones that somehow feel massive.This episode is about slowing down, appreciating what’s right in front of you, and how that’s showing up in both life and training for me right now.Not every win has to be loud to mean something. Sometimes the quiet ones hit the deepest.Where to find me: IG: @lukesmithrdCheck out my website HERETIA for listening!!

A lot of people say they’re “doing everything right” with their health and fitness… but if you looked at their actual week, it’d probably tell a different story.In this episode, we talk about the gap between what you think you’re doing and what’s actually happening, why it’s so easy to fool yourself, and how to get honest so you can actually make progress again.This applies to all things in life, but health and fitness is where that disconnect tends to slap you in the face first.Where to find me: IG: @lukesmithrdCheck out my website HEREFill out a coaching application HERETIA for listening!!

There's a lot of noise out there around health + wellness.. a lot of BS and people trying to capture your attention/money. Block out the noise. Adopt more of a minimalist mentality with your health and fitness and watch your progress + mental health improve alongside of it. Let's talk about some things I think you should be focusing on and consistent with. Just me rambling a bit here but I hope you enjoy this one!
