The sayings “No Pain, No Gain,” and “If you don’t use it you lose it,” are certainly grounded in truth… as harsh as they may sound.

A life of inactivity to avoid pain is not a life worth living!  Coach Chris Wilson sits down with MoveU Co-Founder and Program Creator Andrew Dettelbach aka “the Shirtless Dude.”

Andrew is known for his hypermobile ripped physique but he’s not ONLY brawny… he’s brainy!  During the first and only shirtless podcast, Andrew shares his passion for fitness, health and quality movement. He’s an avid CrossFit athlete and keeps himself in tip-top shape all year round. And yes, he’s pretty much shirtless all of the time.

If you’re unclear on your fitness goals, he is a terrific resource to get you excited and inspired about your personal fitness journey along with MoveU Co-Founder Dr Mike Wasilisin who will be our guest in Episode 62 😊 (cat out of the bag)

From the MoveU ‘About Us’ page: His mission is to help everyone develop the confidence in their body that he has in his own. His knowledge of body mechanics is extensive and his personal experience with overcoming significant injury has been a source of great inspiration to many.

"People can still be in pain and do what they love, it's about changing the relationship that they have in their mind with their body and their pain..that mindset component is the most impactful thing that people can learn."

and

"Relishing those little wins and just understanding that this process takes years, like you see all these people on IG, myself included that are just fit, their like 'How do I get like that?'...I've been working since I was 12."

-Andrew Dettelbach

Men, the ‘Real Reason’ you’re getting fatter, struggling to build muscle, constantly tired and you can’t get aroused.

By the time you hit 35, your testosterone production naturally drops by 25%.

Coach Chris Wilson and Tonya Fines share the mic in today’s episode to speak openly, honestly and passionately about how men can naturally boost T levels.

The 24-Hour Testosterone Fix is a blueprint for men at any age to begin fixing their broken T levels. Whether it’s a lack of sleep, over consumption of processed foods or drinking down energy drinks just to feel awake…. men have more control than they think to begin optimizing their natural testosterone production.

Find out ways to have more energy, slow down the aging process, increase sex drive and boost those T-levels just by changing your lifestyle.

“In your 30's or 40's you might still have plenty of that natural testosterone in your body but because of your diet, because of your lifestyle you might be actually elevating those estrogen levels..."

“You can fix YOU! Your body is an amazing creation and if you treat it the right way, you can overcome a lot of things."

-Chris Wilson

Todd & Allison had it all but overtime things slowly took a turn for the worse... and it left them on the edge of divorce, nearly shutting down their multi-million dollar business. But that all changed after God intervened.

Tune in to this Strong By Design episode as co-host Brian Klepacki sat down with Todd & Allison Kuslikis in San Diego and talked about all things from muscle building to marriage healing.

The pair are now teachers at the School of Kingdom Coaching helping others realign their marriages so husbands and wives can experience the more abundant life as Jesus promised in John 10:10b. 

They also equip other Christians to be used by the Holy Spirit to bring freedom and transformation to people’s lives. Todd and Allison have been married for 7 ½ years and live with their four children in Grand Rapids, MI.

"I think the reason people are blind to these issues is they just don't know about them, they're intertwined with the world and they're seeking after things of the world but Jesus says to set your mind on things above.."


"..A lot of things in their past are now dictating their future, things that they're struggling with, it's really a process of uncovering, it's like digging deeper and deeper, instead of addressing just the superficial things.."
