How Overhyped Protein, Online Bullying, And Kind Coaching Actually Shape Health


Listen Later

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-high protein can starve your carbs and wreck endurance. We compare sport nutrition vs everyday nutrition, and draw a clear line between bodybuilding aesthetics and health-focused training. We also talk coaching fit—why a good coach refers out when a client needs a different skill set or lived experience—and how relatability and ethics matter more than shiny marketing.

The conversation turns to online culture: fat-shaming, “bullying works” nonsense, and the weird overlap of moral posturing and comment-section cruelty. We break down how algorithms reward outrage, how lighting and PEDs warp body expectations, and why skill in the gym should be treated like skill in tennis: it takes time, reps, and patience. Along the way, you’ll hear practical content-creator tactics (batch filming, editing at 1.5–1.7 mph on a walking pad), plus the kind of candid behind-the-scenes that demystifies people with big followings.

We close with something personal and urgent: Movember. Edin shares his commitment to men’s mental health and suicide prevention, with a goal to turn small donations and shared posts into meaningful awareness. If money’s tight, sharing the link or hitting follow still helps. Before you go, drop your favorite creative, food-first way to get more fiber—no powders required.

If this resonated, subscribe, share with a friend who needs a kinder path to fitness, and leave a review with your top fiber hack so we can feature it next time.
