Not a typical episode, just a life update.

I have a birthday coming up.

A weightlifting meet in a couple weeks.

I bought a Big A$$ Calendar and filled it in.

And I'm leaving for Fire School until the middle of March. I'll be taking a break from recording new episodes until I get back. A great time to sift through some older ones you may have missed.

Thanks again for listening and talk to you soon.

Most people believe consistency in fitness requires more motivation, better discipline, or calmer circumstances.

But what if that’s backward?

In this episode, Kevin explores why some people stay committed to fitness when life gets chaotic—while others fall off the moment conditions change. The difference isn’t willpower. It’s identity, interpretation, and adaptability.

In This Episode, We Explore:

• Why “brushing your teeth” is a weak analogy for fitness commitment
• The difference between habit and identity
• Why stress is not a stop sign—and what it actually signals
• How committed people train inside chaos instead of waiting for it to pass
• The role of systems vs motivation in long-term consistency
• Why short-term thinking creates fragility
• A simple question that reveals whether fitness is conditional or foundational

Quote from the Episode:“The people who stay consistent didn’t avoid stress.They learned how to train inside it.”

If you’ve ever felt like you “fell off” because life got busy, this episode reframes the entire conversation.

In this episode of Resilient Humans, Kevin tackles the mental and emotional overwhelm many of us feel from constant exposure to global issues—especially ones we have no direct control over. From political firestorms in the U.S. to rage-bait media tactics, it’s easy to get distracted, anxious, or paralyzed by problems that are far outside our lane.

But what if you stopped carrying the weight of the world—and started working on what’s actually within your control?

Kevin breaks down the difference between awareness and action, and how redirecting your focus inward can lead to real change in your own life and community. From reclaiming energy to building a resilient mindset, this episode is a reminder that you can’t carry the world if you’re not carrying yourself.

🔑 In This Episode:

• The illusion of control and how media profits off your attention
• The power of redirecting energy inward to build resilience
• Why “staying in your lane” doesn’t mean ignoring the world
• How to create a ripple effect of impact starting in your own life
• A weekly challenge to take back your focus and peace of mind

🧠 Key Takeaway:

You don’t need to fix the world. You just need to start with your world.

✅ Your Challenge This Week:

Unfollow one rage-bait account.

Turn off one app.

Reinvest that time and energy into something that makes your life better today.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Mark Sherwood: a former SWAT officer, professional athlete, functional medicine doctor, author, and co-founder of the Functional Medicine Medical Institute, for a conversation that goes far beyond biohacking and longevity.

What starts as a discussion about living longer quickly turns into something deeper: what it actually means to live well.

Mark introduces the distinction between healthspan and sickspan, and why most of modern healthcare is focused on keeping people alive rather than keeping them capable. We talk about freedom, not in an abstract sense, but in the very real ability to move, think clearly, make choices, and live independently for as long as possible.

This episode is about responsibility, ownership, and the cost of waiting. It’s about why there’s no magic pill for longevity, why discipline beats motivation, and why the words you use every day shape the body you live in.

It’s also deeply human. Mark shares personal stories from law enforcement, loss, faith, and leadership, and how those experiences shaped his approach to medicine, resilience, and legacy.

Key Takeaways

• Longevity without quality is not the goal, function is
• Freedom comes from capability, not comfort
• Discipline is built through small, repeatable actions
• Words shape mindset, and mindset shapes behavior
• You don’t need to change everything, you need to start with one thing
• Waiting costs more than starting

One Question to Reflect On

If I don’t change anything, where does my health, and my freedom end up?

This conversation is a reminder that resilience isn’t built in extreme moments, it’s built in the choices you make every single day.

Not someday.

Not Monday.

Now.

In this episode, Kevin breaks down one of the biggest myths in health and fitness: the idea that metabolism slows down after age 30. Drawing on large-scale research — including a landmark 2021 study published in Science — he explains why your metabolic rate remains stable from age 20 to 60, and what really causes changes in weight, energy, and body composition as we age.

Kevin also dives into the physiology, what’s behavioral, and what’s completely within your control. This is an empowering, research-backed conversation for anyone who’s ever felt like their body was “working against them.”

What You’ll Learn:

• The truth about metabolic rate across the lifespan
• What actually changes after 30 (lean mass, NEAT, lifestyle)
• The biggest contributors to mid-life weight gain
• The role of strength training, walking, protein, sleep, and stress management
• How to take ownership of your health at any age

Key Research Mentioned:

• Pontzer et al., Science (2021) — metabolism stability from age 20–60
• Studies on NEAT and daily energy expenditure

It’s a new year—and for many people, that means dusting off the scale and measuring success by a number.

But in this episode, Kevin flips that script. Because true progress isn’t just about weight—it's about energy, consistency, confidence, and how you feel in your own skin.

If you’ve ever felt discouraged by the scale, this episode will give you better ways to track your journey and redefine what success means in 2026.

What You'll Learn:

✅ Why the scale is only one (very flawed) data point

✅ 5 better ways to measure your health and progress

✅ How identity shifts lead to real transformation

✅ What it means to become the kind of person who follows through

✅ A 3-question journal prompt to start the year strong

Reflection Challenge:

Take 5 minutes today and write down:

1. What are you proud of from 2025?
2. Who do you want to become in 2026?
3. How will you measure success without using the scale?

Because when you start measuring the right things—you create momentum that actually sticks.

I’m joined once again by Mark England for what ends up being one of our deepest and most important discussions to date.

What starts with a lighthearted rant about coffee quickly turns into a powerful breakdown of why most New Year’s resolutions fail, why surface-level change never sticks, and why so many coaches burn out trying to have all the right answers.

At the center of this episode is a theme Mark and I keep coming back to: real change doesn’t come from answers — it comes from better questions, better words, and better breathing.

We explore why resolutions expire by February, how fear can actually be a useful signal for growth, and why asking how someone does something is far more effective than asking why. Along the way, Mark introduces what we ended up calling “the original sin of coaching” — the belief that a good coach must always have the right answer.

This episode is raw, honest, and practical. It’s a reminder that lasting progress — whether in coaching, business, health, or life — comes from slowing down, listening better, and letting people discover their own answers.

In This Episode, We Dive Into:

• Why New Year’s resolutions almost never work — and what to do instead
• The difference between resolutions and questions
• How fear can be a powerful tool when used correctly
• Why 90-day windows are more effective than yearly goals
• How language creates identity loops that keep people stuck
• Why coaches don’t need better answers — they need better questions
• The “original sin of coaching” and how it leads to burnout
• How breath control affects listening, presence, and decision-making
• Why observing thoughts is different than believing them
• What real coaching actually looks like when done well

Key Takeaways

• Change doesn’t happen at the resolution level — it happens at the word level.
• Asking how someone does something reveals patterns that why questions miss.
• Coaches who think they need all the answers stop listening.
• Questions pull people forward; answers push them away.
• Fear isn’t a stop sign — it’s often a compass.
• Real growth requires unlearning, not just learning more.

One Question to Sit With

What’s the one thing I need to stop doing to make this next year meaningful?

Not a goal.

Not a resolution.

Just a question worth living into.

Ditch the guilt, simplify your mindset, and actually enjoy the holidays—without feeling like your goals are falling apart.

Because here’s the truth:

• A few indulgent meals won’t ruin your progress.
• Missing a few workouts won’t derail your gains.
• And shame isn’t a strategy that creates lasting change.

Instead, Kevin invites you to reflect on what worked in 2025, consider what you want more of in 2026, and remember that resilience isn’t about perfection—it’s about how you respond when things aren’t perfect.

In this powerful and deeply human episode, Kevin unpacks a message from one of his clients that started with a simple insight:

“I drink to escape what I don’t want to deal with.”

Sound familiar?

Whether it’s wine, food, Netflix, social scrolling, or even overworking, many of us have coping mechanisms we reach for when emotions feel too big to handle. And yet—what we’re really reaching for is relief.

But here’s the truth:

Avoidance brings short-term relief, but long-term pain.

(Emotionally, mentally, sometimes even physically.)

🧭 In This Episode:

• Why numbing becomes the default for so many of us
• What it means to stay with a feeling—and why that’s powerful
• How to spot the moment between urge and action
• Tiny, actionable steps to build emotional regulation over time

If you’ve ever said, “I don’t know why I keep doing this,” this one’s for you.

In today’s episode, we’re delivering some tough love.

Yes, your excuses are valid.

Yes, your life is full.

Yes, your schedule is tight.

But guess what? Your results don’t care.

We’re diving into the truth that many people avoid:

You can either build your life around your reasons, or build it around your results.

Kevin explores the difference between understanding your obstacles and using them as a crutch.

He shares how resilience isn't about being perfect—it's about showing up anyway.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever said:

• “I just don’t have time.”
• “I’m waiting until things calm down.”
• “It’s just not the right season.”

Spoiler: There is no perfect season. And your future self is depending on you to take action—even if it's messy, even if it's small, even if it’s not ideal.

🎯 In This Episode:

• Why your excuses feel real—but won’t move you forward
• How to reframe “life is hard right now” into “this is my training ground”
• Practical steps for building consistency, even in chaos
• A reminder that discomfort is a signal—not a stop sign
