Jeff Sutherland is a successful certified fitness coach, social media content creator, sober athlete, and founder of Midlife Fit Club, a popular fitness app and community.

Jeff specializes in helping those in the mid-life age group transform their physique and "defy age stereotypes" through functional strength training, clean/sustainable nutrition, and adopting a healthy lifestyle.

Jesse and Jeff talk about why Jeff chose to quit alcohol at 51, how the decision has changed his life for the better, and how faith and relationships help him to maintain his sobriety and happiness. Jeff shares his fitness, nutrition, and lifestyle philosophy that got him sober and shredded over 50, and believes anyone can achieve the same results with the right mindset and commitment.

        • Alcohol can have a negative impact on all aspects of life and revolve around everything one does.
        • Having a strong mindset is crucial in quitting alcohol and maintaining sobriety.
        • Sharing one's story on social media can be a powerful form of accountability.
        • Alcohol is not necessary for celebration; joy and connection can be found without it.
        • Quitting alcohol can lead to reaching a higher level in fitness, mental health, and overall well-being.
        • Authenticity and approachability are key factors in building a following on social media.
        • A high-protein, whole foods diet and consistency in workouts are more important than counting calories or following fads.
        • Strength training four days a week, focusing on different muscle groups, and incorporating cardio through brisk walking and kettlebell swings can lead to great results.
        • Faith and positive relationships play a significant role in personal growth and well-being.
