He shares a story from a client preparing for motherhood, talks about the common myths around “losing progress” after having a baby, and reminds you that it’s not about being perfect — it’s about staying committed to what matters.

In this episode, Joey breaks down some of the biggest myths around “muscle tone” and “bulking up” — and why all muscle actually looks the same (it just depends on how much body fat you’re carrying). 

He also talks about simple salad dressing swaps that won’t wreck your calories, and smart ways to stay on track during a fat loss phase. 

Plus, what to do if you’re dealing with an injury and want to keep your fitness up — and why you’ll probably regain any lost muscle way faster than you think.

In this episode, Joey talks about what it’s really like trying to juggle work, parenting, and staying healthy. 

He breaks down why focusing only on fat loss usually leads to that up-and-down cycle — and why keeping your fitness habits going (even when fat loss isn’t the main goal) makes all the difference. 

Joey also shares stories from clients who stayed consistent through pregnancy and how that long-term accountability helped them come back stronger and more confident than ever.
