Different style of episode, giving my thoughts and commentary on a Tik Tok video I recently came across. While this individual seems to have good intentions and there's only so much you can get across in a 30-60 second video, some of the advice is downright cringeworthy. I felt this would make a great episode to bring context to a lot of "generalized" fitness and nutrition advice given in this vid...

How do you know if you or a client is ready for a calorie deficit phase or burn phase? This is something I get asked frequently and, if you've followed the show for awhile, you know we'll start with biofeedback using the SHREDS model. From there, I want to examine male and female considerations, lab reviews, and hunger signals as we understand more when the body is ready for a deficit. Topics incl...

Bit of a twist on a classic quote from Theodore Roosevelt all around the area of imposter syndrome. This is something I see frequently with mentees and other coaches in the space is acute or chronic feelings of not feeling good enough or questioning their expertise. I want to share my perspective along with my advice for novice coaches. Topics include: ---------- Elevate your coaching game, level-...

Not unlike training and nutrition, your coaching business and specifically your content creation strategy needs to be periodized as well. If you are constantly asking for a sale or someone to apply for coaching, you'll inevitably burn them out. Instead, create periods of educational content with periods of intentional lead generation designed to drive prospective client applications. I'll tell you...

A consistent theme of the last few episodes has been centered around the long game of coaching as my hope is you want to make this your craft and pursuit for a significant amount of time and even the rest of your life. What you may have established already or have yet to is who you are working on becoming in this process and being very clear about that individual. What are their habits? Beliefs? S...

This is a call to action episode bringing your attention to the long game you're playing as a coach. Are you only relying on your initial certifications and playing it safe? Or are you constantly learning new and potentially scary topics but ones that will push you forward. I want to remind you that putting your time and effort into what will push you forward as a coach will have the best ROI in t...

Instead, this insightful conversation is about an individual...

While the concept of reverse dieting is increasing in popularity and being used as an effective tool, I think in some cases it's been oversimplified so individuals understand it. I want to take this episode to explain more in-depth the importance of reverse dieting and why it's more than just more food. Topics include: ---------- Elevate your coaching game, level-up your impact and your income wit...

Your website, color scheme, logo, and graphics all represent your coaching brand from an aesthetic perspective. But what about you as a coach is going to separate you from other coaches and make you desirable to want to work with? If you have a hard time answering this question, today's podcast is for you. I want to run you through some important questions that will help you understand and establi...

As I've mentioned on previous episodes, if you want scale and make coaching a lifelong pursuit, the quality of coaching you provide is going to be your biggest asset. One of the ways to increase the quality of your coaching is increasing your skillsets within coaching and while there isn't one book or resource I recommend specifically on this topic, I want to share with you my thought process when...

As coaches advance their skillset and start to learn intermediate to advanced tactics and strategies for their clients, it's only natural to want to use those strategies. I want you to remember that low hanging fruit exists that could be deployed within a client's transformation journey that could be just or even more impactful than the advanced toggles you're learning about now. Topics include: -...

We all see physical and mental transformations as positives and they are but we also have to remember that with a transformation, certain sacrifices are made. Going out and partying with friends, favorite foods sometimes, and other opportunity costs exist and we can't ignore them in the pursuit of a transformation. Today's episode I want to share what the tradeoffs are and how we as coaches can ac...

With the new round of the Functional Nutrition and Metabolism Science Specialization launching right now, I wanted to revisit one of my most popular models for physical transformation. SHREDS stands for Sleep, Hunger, Rest, Energy, Digestion, and Stress and tracking these key areas consistently will lead to the best results for our clients. Topics include: ---------- Elevate your coaching game, le...

Different topic today around autoregulation within physical training but if you solely do nutrition coaching, stick around. I want to share best practices on how to make sure the client is getting the best results even if you don't handle the programming side. In this episode, I cover when autoregulation should and shouldn't be used, different client personality types, and the different varieties...

You can choose to do a host of different strategies and tactics, throwing things against the wall, hoping something sticks, or you can listen to today's episode. In my time as an online coach and helping other coaches grow their business, there are key foundational principles we need to keep in mind that are so simple, they are often overlooked.

With the increasing affordability and rising popularity of continuous blood glucose monitors being used outside of a diabetic standpoint, I wanted to share my experience using one and the potential benefits you could have using it too. I share the good, bad, and my feedback to NutrisSense. At the end, I have an opportunity to grab one through my link as well. Topics include: ---------- Elevate you...

In the realm of hormones, we tend to look at each individual subcategory in a vacuum, not looking at the overall interplay between every subcategory that makes up the overall "hormones" topic. I want to explain an overlooked but simplified way to look at hormones while addressing the medical field's perspective along with what your overall goal as a coach is. Topics include: ---------- Elevate you...
