In this episode, Matt explores “stillness” as an overlooked yet essential tool for mental clarity, emotional regulation, creativity, and overall well-being—especially during the busy holiday season. He explains that stillness isn’t laziness but intentional space for breathing, recalibrating the nervous system, and processing the stress we usually outrun with constant stimulation, technology, and busyness. Because stillness forces us to confront what we avoid, most people resist it, yet it remains the doorway to presence, abundance, and higher performance. Matt highlights the power of the exhale, the importance of creating moments of quiet, and offers practical ways to practice stillness—from brief silent pauses and technology boundaries to mindful walks, reflective habits, and gratitude. Ultimately, he urges listeners to “allow” stillness instead of trying to earn it, recognizing it as a foundational practice for clarity, energy, and a more fulfilling life.

In this episode, Matt and Chris return to the studio to tackle the growing obsession with supplements and synthetic nutrients in modern health culture. Using creatine, peptides, and GLP-1 drugs as examples, they question whether our fixation on isolated nutrients is leading us further away from true health. Drawing from decades of nutrition and wellness experience, they argue that the real solution lies in returning to whole, unprocessed foods — “eating food, not nutrients.” The hosts break down how overreliance on synthetic supplements and appetite-suppressing drugs contributes to nutrient deficiencies, muscle loss, gut issues, and declining metabolic health. Through stories, research, and real-world insights from the supplement industry, Matt and Chris make a compelling case for rethinking our relationship with food, simplicity, and balance.

In this conversation, Matt and Chris explore the idea of creating a new future by taking responsibility for personal health and well-being. They discuss how many people live reactively—blaming genetics, circumstances, or lack of time—rather than proactively shaping their own outcomes. Drawing from personal stories, coaching experiences, and examples of individuals who “broke the chain” of unhealthy family patterns, they emphasize that transformation starts with self-awareness, curiosity, and intentionality. The discussion challenges the notion that health and happiness are dictated by luck or external forces, framing responsibility not as blame, but as empowerment. Ultimately, the episode encourages listeners to embrace discomfort, rethink their habits, and envision what’s truly possible for a healthier, more fulfilling life.

In this episode of the Rest Eat Move podcast, Matt explores the concept of blind spots in his personal health journey, particularly around sleep. Despite thinking he was doing well, data from a wearable revealed overlooked issues like screen time, alcohol, and bedtime habits affecting sleep quality. He reflects on the difference between surviving and thriving, stressing the importance of curiosity, adaptability, and staying committed to the process—not just the outcomes. Matt encourages listeners to examine their own blind spots and embrace discomfort as a path to real growth.

Chris and Matt Johnson dive deep into what it really takes to move from “good” to “great” in your personal fitness journey. Building on recent interviews, they bring the focus back to practical, in-house action steps — from designing a realistic workout plan to understanding the deeper connection between movement, mindset, and recovery.

They explore the importance of place and time, how to build a sustainable exercise routine, and why most people start in the wrong place when trying to get back into shape. The conversation unpacks the concept of periodization — training in cycles that balance effort, rest, and adaptation — and introduces the 89-day Fibonacci Training Plan, a system based on natural rhythms found in nature.

Listeners will learn how to use tools like the Four F’s of Strength Training (Focus, Form, Feel, Fatigue) and the Three R’s (Rate, Range, Resistance) to train smarter, avoid burnout, and rediscover curiosity in movement. From the science of recovery to the art of listening to your body, this episode reframes fitness as a journey of awareness and intention — not just intensity.

Whether you’re new to exercise or a lifelong mover looking to reignite progress, this episode gives you a thoughtful framework for becoming more efficient, more mindful, and ultimately, more fulfilled in how you move.

In this episode of Rest Eat Move, host Matt sits down solo with David Harvey, co-founder and CEO of VEO Health, to discuss Matt’s personal journey of upgrading his health and the broader mission of shifting U.S. healthcare from reactive “sick care” to proactive “well care.”

David shares his motivation for entering healthcare after his son was born with complex medical issues and highlights the inefficiencies and limitations of traditional care models. VEO Health aims to empower individuals with in-depth biomarker testing, full-body scans, wearable integration, and personalized coaching — all outside of the typical insurance framework.

Alongside the numbers, they emphasize that true progress comes from self-awareness, intentional habits, and aligning health goals with the realities of life’s seasons.
