Online coaching is arguably one of the fastest growing fields in the health and wellness space. With that comes a lot of good, a lot of bad, and a lot of questions. I've been coaching for almost 4 years now, so I've been around the bend for a few years. I've stumbled and fell along the way, but I've learned SO much, and I want to use that to help future professionals. Today I'm taking the reins on...

One word to describe this episode - Fire. Both in quality and absolute energy from my guest today Alyssa Olenick.

Topics covered include: - Alyssa's Story - The Importance of Exercise Physiology - Alyssa's Cu...

Today, I have my good friend Hana on the podcast and she kicks ass in both the competing world and the e-commerce marketing world so no longer can you use the excuse that you don't have time. All kidding aside, Hana is very open and honest about her competing as we dive into PED's among so many other topics and I think you'll find this episode both entertaining and valuable. Topics covered include...

I haven't had a Q&A for a while on the podcast so I thought today would be the perfect day!

If you are a Youtuber or aspiring Youtuber, have a desire to explore postdoctoral education, or... actually everyone will enjoy this no matter where you are at in life. My guest today is my good friend Stephanie Buttermore, host of the very popular Youtube channel Stephanie Buttermore Ph. D.    Stephanie does not regularly appear on podcasts so this was a special treat for me and for her as well t...

Do you want to be the best? Are you afraid of saying that out loud? My guest today has that exact mindset and confidence with the results to back it up. His name is Russel Orhii and he is the 2019 83KG IPF World Champion and world-record-holding powerlifter. Russel is someone who is as genuine and joyful in person as he is on social media and we get into a lot of mindset talk today that you will l...

When is the last time you cleaned your house? I will assume (hopefully) it was recently. Why don't we take this same action with our bodies on a regular basis? My guest today is the amazing Taylor Sappington and immediately when we got on the call we just started talking. It took about halfway through to realize I hadn't introduced her yet but what we were talking about was so important and wide-r...

What do Bodybuilding, Powerlifting, and Jiu-Jitsu all have in common? My guest today. Nsima Inyang is a Professional Bodybuilder, Elite Level Powerlifter, Martial Artist, and a DEEP dude. We get into a lot of mindset principles around failure, measuring progress, and dealing with stagnation. We definitely touch on a lot of different topics but it was a great conversation and one you won't want to...

Ready to elevate where you are in life in probably the most SIMPLE format you've ever heard? Today's conversation with Austin Current of Physique Development is truly a "How to do Life for Dummies" guide. Austin is one of the most intelligent people I know when it comes to training and nutrition, but today he offered up some golden (arguably platinum) nuggets on life. Here's the conversational gam...

On today's show, we're diving DEEP into RELATIONSHIPS - the good, the bad, and the downright uncomfortable. I'm joined by my good friends Erin Dimond and Jordan Dugger. Both are powerhouses in fitness and business, but something that REALLY shines about them is how they show up in their relationships. I was blown away by their openness, vulnerability, and the amount of tough/uncomfortable question...

Today's episode is a bit unconventional... we're here for a solo episode, and today I want to talk to you about mindfulness, and the power that becoming more mindful in my day to day has had on my life. I know mindfulness is REALLY trendy right now, and I'm not here to teach you how to meditate and be super zen. All I want to do here is help you EXPERIENCE your life more and to your utmost capacit...

On today's episode of EMBody Radio, I had the pleasure of sitting down with my good friend Nick Komodina. In a world full of people who aren't who they portray themselves to be online, Nick is the absolute opposite of that. I'll allow Nick to introduce himself, but if there's anything I can say about him, it's that he's not only who he portrays himself to be online, he's a lot more than that as we...

After a lonnnnng time away, EMBody Radio is back. And I'd go so far as to say that it is back with a big bang. Today on the show, Joseph Sheehey returns for his second podcast on EMBody Radio. Joe is a human on a journey - a journey that has led him to some very dark places, and now on a journey to truly experience the fullness of life, elevating himself and those around him, and working on creati...

It's that time of year... aka the New Year. Aka the time of year when the already rampant bad health/fitness nutrition advice is even MORE prevalent. In today's episode, I take some of the worst pieces of fitness "advice," diet programs, and general fallacies that YOU guys left on my Instagram and got into some of why those protocols/recommendations aren't going to necessarily get you where you wa...

Everyone talks about "metabolism." Slow metabolisms, fast metabolisms, metabolic adaptation, stubborn metabolisms, all that. But... what actually is "your metabolism?" Can you point to it?  Today's episode was inspired by a follower question essentially asking me to help her better understand what "metabolism" actually means. So lets talk allllll about -what "metabolism" actually is from a physica...

Sleep - it's something that we all love, but that most of us proooobably aren't getting enough of. And that's a HUGE detriment not just to our overall health, but to our performance and body composition. In today's show, we're talking sleep. More specifically, we're talking: -How poor sleep may negatively impact fat loss, -How poor sleep may potentially be catabolic (muscle-wasting), -How poor sle...

This episode serves as a capstone of sorts for the resources I've created surrounding breast implant associated health problems, more commonly known as "Breast Implant Illness." Today I had the pleasure of talking with board certified plastic surgeon and MY personal explant surgeon, Dr. Brian Lee, on all things breast implant issues. We talk about: -His journey into the profession, and how his own...

Steroids, particularly anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS), are very popular in all sports, but particularly strength and physique sports (bodybuilding, Weightlifting, powerlifting, and Crossfit). There's a huge taboo around AAS, but an even bigger taboo surrounding women and androgen use. I'm so excited to bring you part 2 with Victoria Felkar, a researcher whose research is quite literally titled...

Do you take or have you taken hormonal birth control? Do you understand your own menstrual cycle? Have you ever tried to go off birth control and had an awful time trying to regain your natural cycle?  Today I had the pleasure of interviewing Victoria Felkar once again. She was in some of the first episodes of EMBody Radio (episodes 5 & 6 to be exact), and she is a wealth of knowledge. Victoria is...

What's up guys! Today we're back for a solo episode and we're digging a little deeper into fat loss... and more importantly, when it's NOT a good time to try and lose body fat and/or why your fat loss phase isn't going the way you'd like it to. Here's the link the the research review on metabolic adaptations I referenced in this show:  https://jissn.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1550-2783-11-...

She is a Registered and Licensed Dietitian, Certified Diabetes Educator, with a contagious passion for food as...

I've been through a lot of weird health complications the last couple of years and tried a lot of different therapies. If you had told me a year ago that it was my breast implants that were causing the problem, I'd have thought you were crazy. My health continued to decline, and then I came to realize that my implants could very well be at the root of why. Today, I talk about: -Some of the symptom...

TRIGGER WARNING FOR THIS EPISODE: We discuss eating disorders, physically/emotionally abusive relationships, PTSD, and mental illness in this episode, so please be aware of that before listening.  Today's guest is, to put it simply, a warrior. Mik Zazon has been through so much for such a young person, and she's all about owning her story and using it to help others. Today's episode covers so many...
