Welcome back for another episode on Fit To Be Fierce Friday! I have some big news this week, but I have to wait until next week’s show to share it. Trust me, it’ll be worth the wait!

This week, I dove right into the good stuff. A question I get asked all the time is “What the heck is a macro?” If you know anything about me, you may know I’m a nutrition coach, and the underlying foundation of my program is “macronutrient tracking”. 

What the f**k is that? It’s a big, hairy, ugly phrase for “food accountability” by way of tracking the foods you put in your body.

In this episode, I break down just what macros are, how they are counted, why they matter, the benefits of tracking them, and some important considerations. So many people hear about tracking macros and rush to give it a try by punching some numbers into a calculator, and I explained exactly why I HATE this approach. It doesn’t take in enough information to give you an accurate number, and on top of that, everyone’s body is different!

The best way to ensure you’re taking in the right amount of food is to work with someone who knows what they are doing--an expert. I’m helping people eat more than they ever have, enjoy their favorite foods, and lose weight every single day with the information I give in this episode, and I’d love to chat more with you about it too!


If you want to learn the basics to setting up your own macros, shoot me a message (IG: @thejoshpierce) or email me at [email protected], and I’m happy to share the email series I put together on how to tell if you’re eating enough and how to set up your macros, if you’re not. 

As always, rate this episode and share it with a friend, if you learned something! Until next time!

Welcome back to another episode of the Fit To Be Fierce Podcast! In this episode, I brought my great friend, one of my closest friends and a nutrition coach I look up to a lot, Jenn Kennedy (IG: @jennkennedynutrition), onto the show.

Jenn and I have been friends for a while, and we actually had the same business coach for some time.Jenn is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to nutrition, mindset, and connecting the two to drive outcomes.

She primarily coaches women and helps them overcome restrictive eating, past conditioning, and a myriad of other struggles. Having dealt with her own struggles regarding her mindset and weight, beginning at such a young age, she brings a level of expertise that everyone can learn from.

In this episode, Jenn dove into her personal story and how it shaped her into the badass woman she is today, and specifically the past conditioning she realized she had to overcome to be the version of herself she wanted to become. We talked all about how past conditioning shapes us into the adults we become, and most importantly, she gave specific action items you can use today to create awareness around your own past conditioning and disassociate yourself from it.

Give Jenn a follow on IG (@jennkennedynutrition), and check out her podcast, The Jenn Kennedy Show, where she talks all things nutrition and mindset and delivers a ton of expertise in a way you can make sense of.

Back for another episode, this week, I dive into my big struggles when I travel, the importance of having structure in your life, and three of the lowest-hanging fruits anyone can work on today to improve their health.

Traveling for me is a huge struggle. I do so well when I'm home and can stick to my routine, but once you take me out of my routine, I truly struggle, and it's probably for the same reasons you struggle on weekends when you do well during the week. I talk all about that and what you can do to combat it. I also talked about the 3 low-hanging fruits I work on with almost every new client and how you can apply them to see an almost immediate improvement in your health.

Give this episode a listen to find out what those low-hanging fruits are and how you can apply them to your life!

As always, subscribe if you haven't already, and I would really appreciate it if you rate this episode and share it with a friend. If you learned something, I'm willing to bet you know someone else who would, too.

Welcome back to yet another episode of the Fit To Be Fierce Podcast. These are up before the sun every Fit To Be Fierce Friday, so don’t forget to subscribe to get access to this free content every single week. This is where I bring my A-game, so if you want to see my best stuff and get it for free, you know what to do.

In this episode, I brought on my client and great friend, Michelle Miramontes (Instagram: @mitchyym), to showcase her awesome journey so far. Suffering from weight issues at a young age, she was presented with a decision to make at just 21 years old--to have weight loss surgery or not.

For many, the efforts stop there, and they gain the weight back after, but Michelle said this wasn’t going to happen to her. Just over 6 months after a successful bariatric surgery, Michelle hired me to help improve her relationship with food, keep the weight off, and get some confidence for the first time in her life.

She came to me broken, and her relationship with food was very poor. She deprived herself of her favorite foods, like tacos, because the “diets” she continued to try didn’t allow them and villified her when she’d eat them. Three weeks into coaching, she had already found food freedom, and 6 months later, her list of accomplishments is certainly something to write home about. We’ve since become great friends, communicating daily, and we both know we can “taco bout” anything with each other.

Don’t take it from me though--give this a listen and hear from her just how the journey has been, what some of her struggles have been and how she’s overcome them, and what she’d tell someone on day 1 of their own journey.

If her story inspires you in any way, give her a follow, let her know what you think, and SHARE this episode with a friend! She’s got an inspiring journey, and I’m confident that listening to this episode will instill some inspiration in anyone who’s struggling to get their footing on this journey.

In this episode, I brought on my great friend and fellow nutrition coach, Tommy Clark, who specializes in performance-based nutrition for athletes.

As always, Tommy brings a wealth of knowledge to the conversation when it comes to maximizing your workouts and not leaving progress on the table when it comes to nutrition, and he dropped the FIRE with this one.

We talked about the low-hanging fruits anyone from beginners to high-level athletes can apply to see an increase in their performance, whether the goal is to lift more, run faster or farther, build muscle, or lose fat.

Give it a listen, follow Tommy on Instagram (@tclarknutrition), and check out his podcast, The T. Clark Nutrition Podcast, for tons of great info on maximizing performance through nutrition.

If you enjoyed the show, I would love it if you could please leave an honest rating + review on iTunes!

In this episode, I dive into the intentions I have for the show. I talk about the purpose I want the podcast to serve, as well as the impact I want it to create.

Thanks to the direction I received from my great friend and fellow nutrition coach, Jenn Kennedy (@thejennkennedy), I had a long brainstorming session, where I laid out exactly what I want to accomplish with this podcast, what effect I want it to have on its listeners, and what impact I want that effect to create on a grander level.

I break down the core beliefs I discussed in Episode 1 and explain just how you can make this a lifestyle.

It shouldn't be a big, scary commitment. It should be something that's simple, fun, and enjoyable.

That's how you create something you can stick with for longer than your last diet.

I hope this episode gives you something that will help you move one step closer to the strongest, most confident, badass version of yourself!

Welcome to The Fit To Be Fierce Podcast!

For some reason, this whole "being healthy" thing gets made out to be this complicated process that causes you to miss out on all the fun things and have to say "no" all the time.

Turns out it's not like that at all.

It's actually pretty awesome, and you can do it while you live a normal life and eat all the foods you love and enjoy!

I created this podcast to make nutrition simple and show you how you can craft something that works for you and your lifestyle.

In this episode, I introduce myself, my core beliefs when it comes to health and nutrition, as well as all the cool things you can expect to come with the podcast itself.
