This show teaches YOU how to get lean by turning body fat into better focus so that you can live a long, healthy life. 

We all want a lean, muscular physique that performs as well as it looks, but we're BUSY. 

No one has time for marathon workouts and endless tracking of calories with kids, sports, work meetings, and all the building and creating we do in our own lives.

But what if it was easier than we thought?

What if we could get back into the best shape of our lives without spending every weekend meal prepping gross tilapia and broccoli.

That's the question that this podcast will answer. Albeit somewhat irreverently.

Jump in, and lets get lean together.

Dive into a conversation about the power of simple habits and sleep optimization strategies that can revolutionize your life.   In this episode, we check out how small tweaks in our daily routines can have such a huge impact on our health and performance.

And of course, we couldn't ignore the importance of sleep – we dug into Dr. Matthew Walker's research on how getting enough rest can transform our brains and bodies. It was a real eye-opener! key takeaways:   Prioritize quality sleep by implementing practices such as reducing blue light, maintaining a cool sleeping environment, and establishing a consistent bedtime routine.   Consistent practice leads to remarkable improvements in fitness and skill acquisition.
