John chats with Rhyland, a former chubby farm kid turned boxing buff, powerlifting pro, and nutrition coach who’s all about serving others. Rhyland shares how his kinesiology and nutrition degrees led him to a big realization: fitness is 90% psychology (yep, he’s headed to grad school for it!). From transforming “hassle” clients to chilling at powerlifting meets (way less intense than you’d think!), Rhyland drops gems on staying curious, adapting to every client, and why sacrifice is key—whether it’s skipping Chick-fil-A or maxing out a deadlift. Plus, he rants on nutrition fear-mongering (spoiler: seed oils aren’t the devil) and why whole foods win
