My guest this week is Tim Reed, a fellow Midwesterner like myself and a Doctor of Physical Therapy as well as a Certified Strength and Conditioning Coach.

In this episode, Tim and I have a fun, winding, Midwest-style conversation about his upbringing and background in fitness, his college football playing days, how he discovered a passion for health and the human body, and of course, what it's like being a dad.

Today's interview gives you a window into how Tim thinks about coaching others to make fitness stick as he moves more into the online training space to help other dads reinvent their bodies.

Check Tim out on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/dadbod_reinvented, and follow along as he starts his own podcast, The Next Generation Dad Podcast (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/next-generation-dad-podcast/id1495980703).

I’ve got a super interesting guest on today’s show talking about a super interesting topic, epigenetics.

My guest is David Krantz, and epigenetics health coach.

I’ll be honest, this was one of the few times I’ve gone into an interview almost completely in the dark about what the heck I was gonna be talking about, and that’s even after I did a bunch of research to prepare.

But this conversation with David ended up being so informative and interesting as we dove into exactly what epigenetics is, how it affects our health and the health of our family.

My guest this week brings a light-hearted and humorous take on parenthood at a time when we could all use more laughter and smiling.

James Breakwell is a comedy writer and self-proclaimed amateur father, with 4 daughters all under the age of 9. He's written three books about the ups and downs of parenting and fatherhood, the most recent being "How to Save Your Child from Ostrich Attacks, Accidental Time Travel, and Anything Else that Might Happen on an Average Tuesday."

In our conversation, James and I discuss his rise in comedy with his Twitter account, @XplodingUnicorn, and how parenting is a never-ending treasure trove of comedic material.

This week’s guest is the creator of Tonal at-home resistance training system, Aly Orady.

A new dad himself, Aly is in the thick of understanding just how much life changes when you become a father, including how difficult it can be to get to the gym to squeeze in a workout.

After dealing with being overweight for most of his life and working a desk job where he sat for hours every day, Aly decided to do something about it.

He tried the cardio route, but his attention kept drifting to the weights area of the gym, where he noticed the most fit people were.

By strength training consistently, he was able to lose 70 pounds. You’ll have to listen to hear the full story of how dedicated he was to losing weight, but in the end, he needed something more sustainable.

Enter a breakthrough idea to use electromagnetics to create electronic resistance.

In this episode, Aly and I discuss him becoming a father, his own fitness journey, and how Tonal came to be. Enjoy!
