Hypermobility affects far more people than we realize — especially endurance athletes. Chris sits down with physical therapist Holly Burt, who explains what hypermobility really is, why it’s often missed, and how it impacts joints, digestion, recovery, and injury risk.

We cover:

• Hypermobility vs flexibility
• Why stretching can make symptoms worse
• Strength training rules for hypermobile athletes
• Injury prevention in endurance sports
• Pilates, stability, and body awareness
• Training for longevity, not burnout

If you’ve ever felt “tight but bendy,” injury-prone, or frustrated with your body — this episode may be the missing link.

What if the edge you’re looking for isn’t another training metric—but the willingness to do hard things on purpose? Coach Chris Newport sits down with Bob Campana for a powerful conversation about mindset, resilience, and human connection.

At 72 years old, Bob is still growing, learning, and intentionally seeking discomfort—not for punishment, but for progress. This episode explores why comfort can quietly limit growth, how shared experiences shape who we become, and why staying curious matters at every stage of life.

We discuss:

• Why doing hard things builds resilience
• The role of connection and community in performance
• How mindset shapes long-term growth
• Why purpose doesn’t have an age limit
• What athletes and high performers can learn from life experience

This episode is thoughtful, grounded, and deeply relevant for anyone who wants to keep evolving—physically, mentally, and personally.

Feeling anxious about what people will say about your plate this holiday season, especially if you have some new health and nutrition goals? Nutritionist and host Chris Newport breaks down why holiday food comments and food pressure are so common—and why they’re usually not actually about you.

You’ll learn:

• The real reasons people comment on what you are (or aren’t) eating
• How family traditions, insecurity, and “food as love” show up at the table
• Simple, kind, and clear scripts to respond to:
  • “That’s all you’re eating?”
  • “Come on, it’s the holidays!”
  • “You’re no fun tonight.”
  • “Look at you being all healthy.”
• How to set boundaries without creating drama
• A mindset reset you can use before you walk into any holiday meal

You deserve holidays filled with connection—not commentary on your plate.

💬 If this episode resonates, send it to a friend who needs a little extra support this season.

Holiday tables can come with love, nostalgia—and pressure. In this short, practical episode, Coach Chris, functional nutritionist, shares seven strategies to help you enjoy the food and feel good in your body: don’t show up starving, hydrate intentionally, plan ahead, say “no, thank you” with love, share your intentions (if you want to), move your body in a way that feels good, and be present.

You’ll learn how to:

• Prevent the “ravenous trap” so you can slow down and taste your food
• Use hydration to reduce mindless grazing
• Plan ahead without being rigid or restrictive
• Set kind boundaries around food (with love)
• Invite support from people you trust
• Reconnect to your body with feel-good movement
• Anchor the whole day in presence—not pressure
