Life Lately: Faith, Fitness, and What We've Been Called To This Season | Episode 88 06.07.2026

In this episode, we're keeping things casual and catching you up on what's been going on behind the scenes. We talk about everything from our recent vacations and where we're at in our own fitness journeys to the stress we've been navigating lately and how pulling back instead of pushing harder has actually been one of the biggest lessons this season. Along the way, we share some client wins, behi...

Training While Injured: What to Do When Your Body Isn't at 100% 29.06.2026

Getting injured doesn't mean your health journey has to stop - but for most people, that's exactly what happens. One of the most common things we hear from everyone is: "I can't do anything right now because I'm injured." In this episode, we break down exactly what to focus on when you're injured, how to train around an injury instead of through it, why rehab deserves the same intentionality as yo...

The "All In" Trap: Why Waiting for the Perfect Time Is Keeping You Stuck 22.06.2026

"I just have too much going on right now." "When things calm down, I'll go all in." Sound familiar? In this episode of the Endless Pursuit Podcast, we tackle one of the most common things they hear from people who want to change their health and fitness - and one of the most misunderstood mindsets holding them back. The truth is, the perfect time to start is never coming. And the all-or-nothing me...

The Consistency Mistake Almost Everyone Makes | Episode 85 15.06.2026

In this episode, we're talking about one of the biggest reasons people feel like they're constantly starting over with their health and fitness. Most people do fine when life is structured. The challenge comes when weekends, travel, busy work seasons, vacations, and unexpected life events disrupt the routine. We break down why this usually isn't a discipline problem—it's an adaptation problem. We...

Why Tracking Your Food Creates More Freedom, Not Less | Episode 84 08.06.2026

Most people think tracking food creates stress. We’d argue the opposite. Because when you don't have a plan, you're constantly thinking about food. "What should I eat?" "Can I fit this in?" "Did I already eat too much?" "Why isn't my body changing?" You end up spending the entire day making decisions. This episode is all about why taking five minutes to plan and track your food can actually create...

You’re Probably Not Training Hard Enough | Episode 83 01.06.2026

In this episode, we’re diving into a hot take: More people need to overtrain. Now before everyone freaks out, we’re not saying train seven days a week, ignore recovery, and destroy yourself in the gym. But the reality is that most people stop when things get uncomfortable—not when they’ve actually reached their limits. You need to know the limits to be able to truly listen to your body. We break d...

Nutrition Myths That Need to Die | Episode 82 25.05.2026

In this episode, we’re breaking down some of the biggest nutrition and fitness myths that somehow still exist - even though many of them have been disproven for years. From brown rice to fruit to fats and creatine. We talk through where these myths came from, what’s actually true, and why so many people stay stuck because they focus on tiny details while ignoring the things that actually move the...

Why You’re Not Losing Weight (Even When You’re Trying) | Episode 80 11.05.2026

One of the most frustrating places to be in your fitness journey: feeling like you’re doing everything right but not seeing progress. You’re going to the gym, trying to eat well, putting in effort… and still stuck. We break down the fool proof way to bust through any plateau (if you really are in one 😉) and the top 5 questions you need to ask yourself to ensure consistent progress. Because most p...

Fiber: The Most Overlooked Nutrition Lever for Fat Loss, Energy, and Gut Health | Episode 79 04.05.2026

Everyone talks about protein. Almost no one talks about fiber. But fiber might be one of the biggest missing pieces behind cravings, low energy, poor digestion, and stalled fat loss. In this episode, we break down why fiber is so overlooked, what it actually does in the body, and why getting enough can improve everything from satiety and blood sugar regulation to gut health and long-term longevity...

From Identity Loss to Purpose: Building Strength Beyond the Gym with Ben Bostick 27.04.2026

In this episode, we sit down with Ben Bostick—a coach whose journey into fitness wasn’t just about getting in shape… it was about rebuilding his life. After transitioning out of sports, Ben faced a loss of structure and identity that many high-performing men experience—but rarely talk about. What followed was a period of struggle, including leaning on alcohol, before ultimately finding the gym as...

Catching-Up: Japan, Stress, and Finding Balance | Episode 76 13.04.2026

This episode is a little more laid-back — just a real catch-up on what’s been going on in our lives lately. Mackenzie shares some behind-the-scenes on her recent Japan trip, what she learned from being out of routine, and how it’s shifted her perspective on movement, structure, and balance. We also talk through some of the stress she’s been navigating lately — and how that’s impacted routines, ene...

This Is Why You Feel Tired No Matter What | Episode 75 06.04.2026

When people start focusing on their health, they usually think about things like workouts, nutrition, and supplements. But one of the most overlooked factors is sleep timing and consistency . A lot of people assume sleep is just about getting enough hours. But when you go to bed and wake up can matter just as much as how long you sleep. Your body runs on a circadian rhythm - an internal clock that...

10 Ways to Get 40g of Protein in Under 10 Minutes | Episode 74 30.03.2026

One of the most common things we hear from clients is: “I struggle to get enough protein.” But the truth is, hitting your protein target doesn’t require elaborate meals, complicated recipes, or hours of meal prep. In this episode, we break down 10 simple, fast ways to get around 40–50 grams of protein in a meal using foods you probably already have access to. The goal isn’t perfection or fancy mea...

Why You Overeat at Night (And How to Fix It) | Episode 73 23.03.2026

You eat well all day. You’re structured. You’re disciplined. Then nighttime hits… and everything falls apart. And you wake up frustrated, wondering why consistency feels impossible. In this episode, we break down the real drivers behind nighttime overeating and how to fix the root causes instead of fighting the symptom. When you zoom out, nighttime eating usually traces back to four things: • Unde...

Designing a Day That Works for You | Episode 72 16.03.2026

Morning and evening routines sound simple, but they can completely change how your days feel. In this episode, we break down how routines influence your stress levels, energy, discipline, and overall consistency. We also walk through our current morning and evening routines, how they’ve evolved over time, and why routines don’t need to be complicated to be effective. This isn’t about building a 17...

What It Actually Takes to Reinvent Yourself with Kevin Clavier | Episode 71 09.03.2026

Today we’re sitting down with someone who’s had a massive impact on Mackenzie's life over the past few years, Kevin Clavier. Kevin is someone who doesn’t just talk about growth — he lives it. The kind of person who reinvents himself intentionally, questions everything, and refuses to stay stuck in an old identity. We talk about the uncomfortable part of growth — the pushback, the identity shift, t...

Anxiety Isn’t the Enemy - It’s Information | Episode 70 02.03.2026

Anxiety is something both of us have walked through in different seasons. And if we’re honest, most of the people listening probably have too. But this episode isn’t about eliminating anxiety forever. It’s about changing the way you respond to it. We talk about the shift from seeing anxiety as a curse to seeing it as information — a signal that something is off, out of alignment, or asking you to...

Faith, Identity, and Surrender | Episode 69 23.02.2026

This episode is a little different. Over the past year, I’ve shared more openly about my faith — and I’ve had a lot of you ask for more context. So today, we’re pulling back the curtain and talking about our journeys. This isn’t us telling you what to believe. It’s simply us sharing where we started, what we wrestled with, what shifted, and what faith looks like in our daily lives now. Thanks for...

From Chronic Illness to Vitality in Her 70s | Episode 68 16.02.2026

Today we talk about the idea that it’s never too late to take ownership of your health — and that a lot of the aches, pain, and decline people chalk up to ‘just getting older’… might not actually be inevitable. Our guest is Mimi Morgan - and her story is incredible. Mimi is a fitness & movement practitioner, survivor, and inspiration who’s transformed her health in her late 60s and early 70s t...

Is Calorie Cycling Worth It for Fat Loss? | Episode 67 09.02.2026

We don’t hear calorie cycling talked about very often. In reality, it can be a great tool. And like any tool, it can be really effective in the right context… or completely backfire if it’s used the wrong way. In this episode, we break down what calorie cycling actually is, why people are drawn to it, when it can be genuinely helpful, and when it just adds unnecessary complexity or leads to overea...

The Lessons We Had to Learn the Hard Way | Episode 66 02.02.2026

Growth doesn’t just come from wins - it comes from the things that didn’t go as planned. A lot of people talk about all the wins and great things, but I think it's also important to show the full picture, because we all go through it. So in this episode, we get real about some of our biggest "failures" from 2025 — the moments that cost us energy, peace, health, or momentum — and what they taught u...

Would You Rather? Health, Habits, and Hot Takes | Episode 65 26.01.2026

And if you want a clear, no-BS way to lose your next 5 pounds without overcomplicating things,...

Creatine 101: Benefits, Myths, and How to Use It | Episode 64 19.01.2026

In this episode, we break down what creatine actually does in the body, who it's for, and how it supports strength, muscle, recovery, energy, and even brain health. We also talk through common misconceptions like bloating and kidney concern...
