  • 198 - The T on ‘Skinny Is Back’: Shrinking Bodies, GLP-1s & Where Strength Went with Jaclyn Phillps

    In this episode of Spilling the T, we’re unpacking three of the most talked-about — and misunderstood — shifts happening in health and fitness right now.

     

    From the return of ultra-thin aesthetics in media and social platforms, to the rapid rise of GLP-1 medications and peptides, to the evolution of hybrid coaching with AI and human support — these trends aren’t separate. They’re connected.

     

    And they’re telling us something important about where the industry is headed.

     

    In this conversation, we discuss:

    • Why “skinny is back” isn’t about leanness — but about shrinking, muscle loss, and strength being deprioritized in visual culture
    • The difference between thinness, health, and capability — and why muscle still matters for longevity
    • How body positivity was a necessary movement, but how it became distorted when acceptance turned into stagnation
    • Why the current push toward extreme thinness feels like a cultural overcorrection
    • The real impact of GLP-1s and peptides — and why fat loss without strength, nourishment, and structure is short-sighted
    • How rapid weight loss can outpace metabolic health, muscle retention, and long-term resilience
    • Why weight loss ≠ health, and aesthetics ≠ sustainability
    • The rise of hybrid training (AI + human coaching) as a response to both extremes
    • How modern coaching is shifting from pushing harder to protecting strength, recovery, and longevity
    • What true body respect actually looks like moving forward

     

    Our take:

    1. Body positivity didn’t fail.
    2. Discipline didn’t fail.
    3. Extremes failed.

     

    The future of health and fitness isn’t about disappearing — or refusing to evolve.

    It’s about building a body that’s strong, capable, supported, and able to carry you forward.

     

    This episode is for anyone who feels caught between conflicting messages — and wants a smarter, more sustainable path forward.

  • 197 - How One Clear Offer Took Lisa from 0 to 24 Online Clients in 3 months

    What happens when a coach stops trying to do everything — and finally gets clear?

    In today’s episode, I’m sitting down with Lisa, a mom and online coach who went from feeling stuck, scattered, and unsure how to grow… to signing 24 online clients after simplifying her business.

    We talk about what her coaching business looked like before, why trying to figure it out alone was keeping her stuck, and how starting with her own body transformation helped her step into a new level of confidence and identity as a coach.

    From there, we break down the exact shifts that changed everything:
    • Creating one clear signature program instead of offering random services
    • Setting one offer and one price — and why that made selling easier
    • Building a simple Google Doc sales list that removed pressure and confusion
    • Installing a content system that actually converts (without posting more)

    Lisa also walks through the real client journey — from someone discovering her content, to joining her list, to becoming a paying client — and shares what surprised her most about going from 0 to 24 clients.

    If you’re a coach who knows you’re capable, but your business still feels messy, overwhelming, or inconsistent — this episode will show you what’s possible when you simplify and commit to one clear path.

    In this episode, you’ll learn:
    • Why clarity beats hustle every time
    • How one signature program creates momentum
    • What actually makes content convert into clients
    • The mindset shift that helped Lisa grow faster than she expected
    • What to focus on if you’re stuck at zero (or plateaued)

  • 195 - The 4 Biggest Shifts in Fitness Coaching in 2026

    In this powerhouse episode, Coach JVB — President of STRONG Fitness Magazine and mentor to hundreds of online trainers — breaks down the four disruptive shifts that will redefine the coaching industry in 2026.

    This isn’t a prediction.
    It’s a warning.

    AI is accelerating.
    Client expectations are evolving.
    Health data is becoming mainstream.
    And the coaches who adapt will dominate — while everyone else gets left behind.

    Whether you’re a new trainer or a seasoned coach, this episode gives you the roadmap to stay competitive, innovative, and in demand.

     

    What You’ll Learn in This Episode

    1. Why AI will force coaches to operate at light speed
    Not “AI for ideas.”
    Not “Ion think.”
    Learn why custom GPTs, client-access AI systems, and automation will expose weak offers… and massively amplify strong coaching frameworks.

    2. Why the future coach must collaborate with health practitioners
    Clients want precision, not guesswork.
    You’ll learn why understanding labs, hormones, GLP-1s, recovery, and medications is becoming essential — and how coaches can ethically partner within a health team.

    3. How DNA-driven coaching will revolutionize personalization
    This is the next massive evolution in program design.
    Discover how genetics will shape training, recovery, nutrition, and longevity — and why coaches who can interpret this data will become industry leaders.

    4. How to stand out in the noisiest content era in history
    The algorithm is more crowded than ever.
    The solution is not “more content” — it’s one clear niche, one problem, and one traffic source.
    Learn the strategy that will make you the go-to authority in your space.

     

    Why This Episode Matters

    2026 will reward coaches who innovate — not imitate.
    The industry is no longer about who posts the most.
    It’s about who delivers the deepest results, the smartest systems, and the most precise support.

    This episode shows you exactly where the industry is moving…
    and how to get ahead of it now instead of trying to catch up later.

  • 194 - You don’t need your husband to understand your fitness goals — you need him to respect them.

    Most women don’t lose momentum because of their partner — they lose it because they start negotiating their goals to make everyone else comfortable.

    In this episode, Coach JVB gets real about what it actually looks like to earn support and respect inside your relationship without turning your goals into a fight.

    You’ll hear her share a personal story about her husband Vince — how they both run a business in fitness, and how she learned to protect her morning discipline (training + walk) as a non-negotiable anchor for focus and clarity.
    And how that small boundary eventually turned into a shared ritual that strengthened both their relationship and their results.

    This is for the woman who’s building her body, her business, and her life — and refuses to shrink her standards just to keep the peace.

    In This Episode:
    • Why your partner doesn’t need to understand your goals — just respect them
    • How consistency builds respect faster than conversation
    • The exact mindset shift that turned conflict into connection in JVB’s marriage
    • The difference between asking for buy-in and building proof
    • Practical ways to protect your non-negotiables without guilt or friction

  • 193 - Before You Consider Hormones in Perimenopause - Fix These First

    If you’re in your 40s and feeling “off” — low energy, disrupted sleep, mood swings, or weight changes — your first thought might be“Do I need hormones?”
     

    But before you jump into HRT or bio-identicals, there’s groundwork to be done. In this episode, Coach JVB breaks down what every woman should do before considering hormones in perimenopause — so your body is primed to respond when (and if) you decide it’s time.

     

    You’ll learn:

    • The 4 lifestyle foundations that regulate your hormones naturally
    • How to train in your 40s for metabolic and nervous-system balance
    • The nutrition tweaks that stabilize energy, mood, and blood sugar
    • The must-have bloodwork markers to test before hormone therapy
    • When it actually makes sense to explore HRT — and when it doesn’t

     

    This episode is a practical roadmap for women who want to feel powerful, focused, and in control during perimenopause — without chasing quick fixes.

  • 192 - Hybrid Training, Hormones, and Health Scares — My Real 40+ Update

    Jenny shares her own health journey through her 40s — balancing business, family, and fitness — and what she discovered when her energy, recovery, and stress didn’t match her effort. From diving deep into DNA and bloodwork to shifting her training and fueling strategy, Jenny reveals how hybrid training, hormone awareness, and smarter recovery changed everything.
     

    She also gets personal about a recent health scare (melanoma in situ) that became a wake-up call to prioritize longevity, not just aesthetics.

    If you’re a high-performing woman who trains hard, eats clean, and still feels like something’s missing — this episode will hit home.

    Because optimization at 40 isn’t optional… it’s strategy.
