In this episode, Rick Mayo sits down with Wes Barefoot, a franchise consultant, entrepreneur, and father of three, who found out that simplicity, not intensity, is the key to long-term health transformation.

Wes shares how he lost over 40 pounds and completely reshaped his health by ditching the hype and embracing a strategy centered on progressive strength training, daily walking, and hitting daily protein targets. With a full plate of businesses and toddlers, Wes proves it’s possible to prioritize fitness without overhauling your life.

Rick and Wes explore why many modern fitness trends overcomplicate health, the science behind why “simple works,” and how the Alloy Personal Training approach mirrors what leading longevity experts recommend. They also dive into how mindset, structure, and sustainability fuel lasting change—no matter your age or starting point.
