If you've struggled with these questions or found yourself stuck in a bit of a fitness rut, this episode is for you. So without further ado, let's dive in.As always, if you love what you hear on this show, then do me a favor and subscribe, leave a positive rating and review, and share this episode with a friend or loved one whom you think could benefit.

How do I get more toned without becoming too bulky? What's better, heavier weights or higher reps? Can you split up your workouts and still get the same benefits?

All too often, clients join our Smart Nutrition Coaching Program having spent years taking care of everyone else but themselves, only to realize that the person they see in the mirror is no longer a reflection of who they want to be.This exact scenario played out with my wife, Kristina. A former collegiate athlete and all-around hard-charging individual, Kristina put all of her time and effort into work, taking care of our three kids, and volunteering what little time she had left. She found herself drinking more alcohol than she'd like to admit, snacking in the evenings, hitting up fast food restaurants on the way home from work, staying up too late, and not getting enough sleep. She realized that she wasn't living up to the person she wanted to be for her kids.A few years ago, Kristina made a massive shift. She left her job in corporate America, became my business partner, hired Coach Joey, started to prioritize herself, and her results have been incredible.In today's episode of the Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show, I'm excited to share my wife's experience both in the trenches at Body Systems and as a client, along with all of the wisdom, knowledge, and advice she has gleaned over the last few years.If you're pouring all of your energy into your children, your career, and/or your commitments, and you're unhappy with the person you've become, then I hope this conversation resonates with you and gives you the kick in the pants to start shifting your mindset around what could be possible if you start prioritizing yourself.As always, if you love what you hear on this show, then do me a favor and subscribe, leave a positive rating and review, and share this episode with a friend or loved one whom you think could benefit.

If it sounds too good to be true...It probably is.In today's episode of the Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show, I call bullshit on all the crap being spewed over social media on how to lose weight without having to make any sacrifices. Without giving up alcohol. Without tracking your food. Without meal prepping or meal planning. Without giving up junk food. Because there will ALWAYS be tradeoffs. And while you don't have to do all of these things to lose weight, the process is going to be THAT much harder in the long-run.As always, if you love what you hear on this show, then do me a favor and subscribe, leave a positive rating and review, and share this episode with a friend or loved one whom you think could benefit.

In today's special Q&A episode of the Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show, I'll discuss some of the common practices that people think that they should be doing, but actually are probably hindering their success, whether you can still lose weight while drinking alcohol and eating junk food, if you need to stretch before I work out, and whether or not being sore is a sign of a good workout.As always, if you love what you hear on this show, then do me a favor and subscribe, leave a positive rating and review, and share this episode with a friend or loved one whom you think could benefit.

Things change as we get older. We start to accumulate more belly fat. We have a harder time losing weight. We have a harder time recovering from our workouts. We experience more stress and frankly have more responsibilities. We have more excuses as to why it becomes harder to eat healthier and exercise. We feel like we just don't have enough time to do the things we need to do to move the needle. And if we do, we feel like the things we used to do aren't working anymore.In today's episode of the Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show, I'm sharing what I call my 10 commandments of fat loss over 40, and ways we can start to look at nutrition, fitness, strength training, joint health, and recovery a little bit differently.
