Diane Rowland shares how transforming her relationship with food has transformed her entire life. She talks about how miserable she was, having lost the same 50 lbs five different times in her life, to gain it back every time, prior to investing in a coach to guide her and fast-track her success. She’s now feeling more confident and empowered than she ever has, and she’s got so much to share about how she’s gotten to where she is now, so others can see similar success.

Diane had so much to share about her success so far that the conversation was split into two episodes (Episode 38 and 39). If you’ve been inspired by Diane’s transformation and would like to connect with her, she’s active on Instagram (@dianerowlandga), and she’s an engaging leader in the Fit To Be Fierce With Josh Pierce Facebook group, a free community for support with fitness, nutrition, and living your best life.

This episode features Allison Martin, as we showcase the amazing transformation she has experienced, inside and out, since joining the Josh Pierce Nutrition 1:1 coaching team.

Allison shares her story about how she went from low confidence and a poor self-image to a leaner, more fit, VIBRANT woman. She also shares some of the things she’s done to take back control of her life and rewrite the narrative she was living.

In just 7 months, she’s lost more than 25 lbs, is wearing clothes she NEVER thought she’d wear, and is finally seeing results that match the commitment and effort she puts into her Orange Theory workouts, all while living a “normal” life, eating plenty of her favorite foods, whenever she wants.

With all that, it’s no wonder she’s more confident than she’s ever been and is carrying herself like the VIBRANT woman she described she wanted to become on Day 1! You’re going to want to hear it from her though!

Allison can be found on Instagram at @allisonnmartin, and is also extremely active in the Fit To Be Fierce With Josh Pierce Facebook Community, a FREE nutrition support group anyone can join.

This episode is Part 1 of a 2-part discussion (see Episode 36 for Part 2)

I recently had with Chase Smith, a young man who has completely transformed physically AND mentally in the last 17 months!

Having struggled with his weight his entire life, Chase made a choice on January 1, 2019 that would forever change his life! Starting with a friendly wager with his friend, he started changing his habits and never looked back.

He's now lost more than 173 lbs and has proven time and time again that you don't need to cut out your favorite foods or live some restrictive lifestyle to reach your health goals.

I’m honored to bring Chase onto the show finally to hear him share about:
-How his journey started (and how he’s kept it up for so long)
-How his relationship with food has helped him live a more fulfilled life
-How his weight loss has affected his career as an ER nurse
-How he overcame the battle w/ the scale-What his secret sauce was that helped him most on his journey

If what Chase says motivates you in any way, the absolute best thing you can do is screenshot and share what you’re listening to on your social media (and tag me, @thejoshpierce and @changing_chase) so others can see it and learn from Chase’s journey as well!

We've all been there. When you can commit and focus 110% on your goals, you're on, and it's great.

But what happens when life gets a little crazy and you can't commit 110%?

- Where do your fitness and nutrition fall when life gets in the way?
- What if those other things (family, work, etc) are more important at the time?

For most people, they go by the wayside completely. Many of us struggle with the "all or nothing" mindset, and when we can't give it our all, we give it NOTHING.

When it comes to your fitness and nutrition goals, it's important you've got a plan you can be successful with not just when it's sunny out, but on cloudy days as well!

That means you need to find a way to still make it happen, even when life is crazy!

First, understand your nutrition shouldn't always be #1 priority.

Second, there's a way to create a bit of a balance so even when you're focusing on other things, you can still make fitness and nutrition happen.

It's not easy though. That's why I recorded this podcast episode to break this stuff down and help you decide where your fitness and nutrition should fit when life gets in the way!

When you listen, please screenshot and share this on your social media, so others can benefit from it too!

If you could leave a review and a rating on iTunes, others will be able to find this podcast easier, and it can help more people!

In Part 3/4 of the COVID19 Mini-Series, fellow coach, Anthony Guzzo, and I get real with you as we explain why you’re putting all your eggs in the wrong basket.

In the fitness space right now, all the talk is about at-home workouts and everyone’s fretting they’ll lose all their progress without gyms being open. While that’s a fair concern, there are actually more important things to focus on right now that will take you further.

What’s even more important than your workouts is your NUTRITION right now. Now is the perfect time to prioritize making small improvements to your nutrition that will create BIG CHANGES in your health and weight loss journey.

Most people struggle with their nutrition due to a lack of knowledge and time, and right now, you likely have more time than you’ll ever have, not spending hours each day driving places and doing extracurricular activities outside the home.

You can get the most out of this time if you add structure to your day when it comes to eating, come up with a meal prep routine that works for you, and learn to create control around the mindless snacking.

We discuss each of those in this episode and give you a series of actionable steps you can take right now to start making huge strides in the right direction today!

Be sure to tune in to Part 4/4 to find out what mistakes to avoid during this time so you don’t halt your progress. The last thing you want is to step on the scale to find out you just gained the COVID19, and if you know what mistakes to avoid, you’ll have everything you need for the scale to move in the right direction!

It’s a crazy time right now, and stress/anxiety levels are at an all-time high, while structure in our daily lives is at an all-time low.

The choice is yours, and it just depends on where you want to be in 90 days…do you want to be in a better position than you are now, or worse off?

I know what I’m choosing, and my coaching clients are choosing the same, making growth the goal.

In this episode, Guzzo and I give you our cold hard take on see this time as an opportunity to maximize growth in all areas. We discuss how to leave the scarcity mindset where you are right now and see the situation from a place of abundance--that is how you will come out ahead.

We also discuss adding structure to your days to stay the course and continue to move forward, rather than take steps backward. You will learn how to turn this negative situation into a positive for yourself and get the most out of the COVID19 quarantine.

It's been one year since donating my kidney to my father, who was suffering from kidney failure, as a result of his Type 1 Diabetes.

The last year of my life has been a rollercoaster of ups and downs, with the recovery from the operation., and I've learned so much about myself during the process. I share exactly what I've learned with you today.

In this episode, I share the full story of my February 25, 2019 kidney donation to my father, including:

-Why I chose to give
-What the alternatives were
-My mindset going in
-The recovery process
-The mental health issues I've uncovered since
-So much more!

I shared the THREE BIGGEST LESSONS I LEARNED throughout the process, which are valuable life lessons that anyone can apply to live a better life.

If you could please screenshot and share this on your social media when you listen, I would be eternally grateful.

One of the biggest messages I want to convey with this episode is that IT COSTS $0 TO GIVE SOMEONE LIFE. Give life by registering to be a living organ donor!

The more people that see and listen to this episode, the more likely those who are suffering will truly find their match.

Of course, I'm open to any questions, as well! DM me on Instagram at @thejoshpierce, or you can email me at [email protected]. No messages go unanswered!
