A walking pad hums, soda cans crack, and the jokes fly—but what sticks is a grounded approach to health that actually fits a full life. We hang out with Edin from Evidence Nutrition to unpack how he coaches everyday people and athletes without the noise: simpler plans, less moral panic around food, and real talk about what sustainable change looks like when you work a 9–5 and still want to perform. We get into the weeds on protein myths and athlete fueling, including why obsessing over sky-h...
What if the fastest way to stop bingeing is to stop banning foods? Coach Chris Terrell joins us to flip the script on weight loss by focusing on emotional eating, autonomy, and the basics that actually last. He works with people north of 300 pounds who feel written off, and his philosophy is refreshingly doable: master awareness and environment first, then let the numbers serve you—not rule you. We unpack why “eat the chips” can break the binge cycle, how restriction fuels obsession, and why...
A car break-in, hospital runs, property drama, and a rogue robot vacuum set the stage for a conversation that swerves from comedy to clarity. Out of the chaos, we dig into why bingeing often isn’t about hunger at all—it’s about autonomy, guilt, and the relief of choosing something no one can take away. That honesty opens the door to a different strategy: feel-first eating that reduces guilt, turns “forbidden” foods into normal choices, and slowly breaks binge routines without all-or-nothing r...
We riff on moving mishaps, DeLorean-level jokes, and gummy bear lore, then settle into honest talk about Olympia culture, steroid disclosure, sustainable training, and why therapy complements the gym. Humor lightens the load while we push back on rage-bait fitness and champion skill-building over perfection. • statement furniture, moving chaos, and holiday flexes • host intros, posting habits, and brand deal standards • creatine gummies skepticism and dosing concerns • DeLorean gag meets Bac...
What if one small, honest thank-you could break a spiral? We go from laughing about chaotic days and dog-trashing-the-kitchen moments to a surprising mental reset that actually sticks: choose a single, concrete thing to be grateful for and repeat it through your day. David—known as Today I Am Grateful—opens up about hitting a wall, failing at the classic “write three gratitudes” advice, and discovering that one simple, repeatable anchor worked better for an anxious mind than any perfect routi...
What if your workout felt like a quest instead of a chore? We sit down with creator and coach Tank Tolman to explore how fantasy, play, and small consistent steps can transform the way we approach health. From a childhood stacked with sports to a focused MMA chapter and a later ADHD diagnosis, Tank breaks down why brains like novelty, why light and playful sparring beats bravado, and how cosplay and storytelling can lower the barrier to entry for beginners who’ve never felt welcome in fitness...

That difference isn't just willpower—it's about the relationship we've built with food, and the good news is that relationship can change.

Looking to maximize your protein intake without the confusion? We're flipping the script on how we measure nutritional value by examining protein content per calorie rather than by weight—giving you a practical framework for making smarter food choices. Egg whites emerge as the surprising champion with a whopping 22 grams of protein per 100 calories, essentially functioning as pure protein in water form. Close behind are staples like chicken (19g) and Greek yogurt (18g), while plant options ...

So, I work more in an intermittent fasting style, but I also found I need alarms in-between this eating period especially if I'm working because I'll forget to stop and eat and then I'll do that binge eating at dinner time when I finally slow down 🫣😅
🤣🤣 Mine were the built bars!! fucking chocolate and marshmallow 😋 😍 limit to one a day. I enjoy the power crunch bars, too.
oddly enough, I'm making banana bread right now, lol
I only like crunchy PB in cookies....🤣
I also like pineapple on pizza. prefer with pepperoni over Canadian bacon.
I'm specific on brands only when it comes to paper towels and napkins, lol oh and top Ramen 🤷♀️
Just started listening. I learned that intermittent fasting doesn't work if I'm not getting enough sleep.
This is what you were referring to: Breakfast like a king; lunch like a prince; dinner like a pauper.”
