Lots of people are overweight or obese, and a fair amount of them are trying to lose weight. So what are the basic components of fat loss, and can we concisely and effectively convey them to our listeners in the next hour? Heck no! Instead, we go all over the place on this one, getting into psychology, motivation, and even touching on fat activism and acceptance. Grab an extra large slice of cake and give this one a listen.

Entrepreneur, personal trainer, corporate wellness pro and registered dietician - our guest today has pretty much seen and done it all. That experience led her to create Powerhouse Bakery, a full service kitchen focused on producing nutrient rich foods and treats. Plus, she can throw a mean roundhouse kick! What's not to love about that?

What's your biggest fear? What are the most common issues we see in new clients? And what's the hardest physical endeavor you've ever undertaken? We bat those and a few other choice questions around in this all new episode of our podcast which one listener described as: 'Not quite as terrible as I thought it might be!'

We read, watch, and listen to all types of stuff. So today we cover some of the things that came across our radar in the last week, including: paying folks for health behaviors, problems with antibody testing, the dangers (really?) of hot dogs, why carbs and sugar STILL don't make you fat, a 17 year-old who is stronger than most men on the planet, and plenty of other nonsense along the way…

For our twentieth episode (woo-hoo!), we flip our show upside down and inside out and discuss the best ways to gain fat, lose strength and minimize your health. Why would we do such a thing? Because it was kinda fun! And because sometimes we have to look at absurd and extreme behaviors on the opposite end of the spectrum to make sure we're not wasting any of our time or energy there… Plus Seinfeld and Superman already did it, so we figured we were next!

It takes a special kind of person to protect and serve - a job that also comes with some very unique physical and psychological challenges. Our guest today is a 20 year veteran of the police department, holds a masters degree in exercise science, and along the way has worked as a strength and conditioning coach, owned and operated his own gym, and served as a firearms and defensive tactics instructor. Today we cover all the ins and outs of what it takes and what it means to serve the community.

Those All-American badasses you see in the movies? We know one of those guys! And he's on our show today… Not only is he a Green Beret and Special Forces Commander, he's also a strength and conditioning specialist, CrossFit coach, and jiu-jitsu practitioner among other things. Today we talk about what it takes to make it and succeed at that level, and the lessons you learn along the way. Throw a steak on the grill, crack open a beer, and give it a listen!

How many doctors of physical therapy do you know who are not only elite level athletes and coaches, but also have experience as a lawyer, military veteran, and champion level speedgolfer? Our guest today is all those things and more, and joins us discuss everything from running shoes to rehab protocols and then some.

Most of us learn how to ride a bike when we're pretty young, but very few of us will actually make a living on two wheels. Our guest today has done just that in her own unique way; trading in her love of skateboarding and running for a mountain bike, and now riding for a professional all-female cycling team. Clip in and listen!

It's hard to beat an experienced pro when it comes to fixing things, and when it comes to your body, it's hard to find someone better than our guest today. He's an ART practitioner who has worked on and with some of the best athletes in the world, an elite level athlete himself, and just an all around interesting dude with decades in the trenches and some great insights to share.
