No Such Thing with Krysta Huber
Operation Podcast
There’s no such thing as one right way to do life. No Such Thing is a podcast hosted by Krysta Huber — marketing strategist and coach — about the overlap between work, health, and the rest of life that happens in between. Each episode is a look at how we build habits, make decisions, and lead ourselves through the parts of life that don’t fit into clean categories. Some weeks it’s something practical. Other weeks, it’s the kind of reminder that lands when you need it most — that you don’t have to burn everything down to make a change, and you don’t have to have everything figured out.

THE FYX 091: Your Stories are Keeping You Stuck — A Lesson in Self-Love
80 percent of your thoughts throughout the day are likely negative. You read that right: More of your thoughts are negative than they are positive. So are we fighting an uphill battle in the road to postivity? What should we do when the going gets tough, especially knowing that our minds may gravitate toward the negative outlook? We're closing out February 2023 with an episode on all things self-love.
In this episode, Coach Krysta suggests the following journal prompt to reframe your mindset: Consider the following--
What stories of self limiting beliefs am I telling myself?
What’s preventing you from stepping into the person you want to become?
Krysta discusses how self-limiting beliefs interfere with our success in losing weight, starting a fitness journey, or maintaining our health. She uses examples of negative thoughts from her own life, and evidence of how she actively shifts those thoughts to something more productive.
Rewrite your story with words of affirmation: example — I am committed. I am strong. I am flexible.
The Fitness FYX Team is GROWING, which means we're accepting new clients in March before closing off our spring waitlist. Get yourself in the applicant pool by clicking HERE! PS. We offer complimentary nutrition consults

THE FYX 090: Want to Be Happier & Healthier? Be Selfish—Especially in the Morning feat. Michael Chernow
Michael Chernow is a Serial Entrepreneur, Restauranteur, Podcast Host and expert in the world of wellness, fitness and nutrition. Most recently, Michael founded and launched Kreatures of Habit, an in-your-face lifestyle and wellness brand, reimagining how you establish healthy habits in your life. After years in the restaurant business in NYC, he realized that his calling was to be of service in a more personal way, with the ability to impact more lives. Honoring his 17 years of sobriety by launching his newest venture, Michael’s goal with KOH was to create easily-accessible nutritional products that are rooted in adopting the positive habits that transformed his life, and allowed him to replace alcohol with the nutrition and fitness he needed.
Michael launched Kreatures of Habit because he wanted to share his belief in habits through his personal story of change, how our habits determine whether we are going to be successful in our personal and professional lives, just get by, or worse, be miserable. He’s a firm believer that every time we replace a bad habit with a good one, big or small, the greater a chance we have to live our best lives.
In this episode, Michael and Coach Krysta discuss:
- Fear: how powerful it is, how great of an equalizer it is, and how much it drives the decisions we make--or don't make--in life
- Finding freedom on the other side of fear
- Using selfishness as a super power
- The power of developing a morning routine--and detail Michael's own morning routine
- Why Michael created Kreatures of Habit and why oatmeal has been such an important pillar of his morning routine
- Habits and controlling the controllables
- Understanding that we all have the ability to make the "right" decision relative to what our goals and desired outcomes are

THE FYX 089: How to ACTUALLY Keep Your New Year's Resolutions & Weight Loss Goals this Year
Coach Krysta is solo in today's episode where we talk all things News Year's Resolutions, but more specifically how to really follow through on the goals we set for ourselves.
Here's the tough question: How many more years are you going to be okay with hitting another February 1st and acknowledging that you've failed your New Year's Resolution again? Or maybe, have you reached the point where you've already accepted failure as the outcome--so much so that you didn't set goals for yourself at all?
This episode is for you if you're frustrated by the number of plans you've started, only to "fall off the wagon," or regain the weight some months later. The secret sauce? It's honestly not a secret: It's discipline. It's the unsexy stuff. It's self-awareness, and it's also the power that comes with asking for help.
We're biased, but we do know someone to turn to for help--you're here listening to her. The Fitness FYX Team is also GROWING, which means we're accepting an influx of new clients in February. Get yourself on the application sheet by clicking here!

THE FYX 088: Want to Lose Weight Faster? Pay Attention to How You Invest Your Time & WHO You Spend it With
Happy New Year, FYX listeners! The start of the new year typically brings a renewed focus on weight loss, toning up, building muscle, and improving your health. This episode is for you if you want to make LASTING change. 23% of people quit their New Year's resolution in the first week, which means many already have as of the date of this episode. And less than 40% make it past February.
This is not the podcast for quick fixes. It's the podcast for ACTUAL solutions. So what does Coach Krysta suggest? Start by auditing how you spend your time, and more importantly, who you spend it with. Some questions to consider:
- Are the people you're spending time with supporting you in your growth? Are they supporting you along your pursuit to becoming your best YOU?
- Are there investments you might consider making--like some type of coach--to make your goals that much easier to achieve? The first step towards real change begins with asking for help.
- Are you SO focused on the outcome that you're losing sight of the process? The process is the challenge: it's okay to desire faster results, but we have to be willing to put in the work to get there. When roadblocks come up, how we handle them--specifically, our ability to move forward--influences how much longer it will take to reach our desired results.

THE FYX 087: Using Vulnerability, Emotions and Rest to Achieve Your Goals in The New Year
This is not your typical "New Year, New You," "Do More," "Be More, "Achieve More," podcast episode just in time for a new calendar year. Instead, with the help of our guest, Lihi Benisty, we invite you, The FYX listeners, to bring space into your life: we invite you to breathe, rest, and literally just be. Lihi is a yoga and meditation instructor, and founding instructor of Open: Open is a mindfulness studio--both in-person in LA, and online through the App Store and Google Play. When you join Open, you enter a place to come to your senses — meditation, music, breathwork, and movement awaken body and mind to bring you to the present moment.
All you need to know about Lihi can be accurately summed up by her Instagram bio, which reads, 'feeler of feelings.' In this episode, we explore the power of emotions, of vulnerability, and how our own mental health challenges have shaped the way we show up in the world--as instructors, as coworkers, as friends, family members--in every role we play in life.
Trigger Warning: We do discuss Lihi's personal experience of assault.
We also discuss:
- How we can grow by intentionally learning to rest
- The benefit, and the struggle, to learning how to fill our rest with SPACE
- The idea that we don't always have to be DOING, that we can just BE
- Letting go of perfectionism, bringing emotion into every day life as we feel and as different emotions arise
- Dropping the armor of strength and being okay with not being okay
- Lihi's upbringing in a Buddhist school in California
- How Lihi began her yoga practice
- What makes Open different from most meditation apps, namely the role music plays on the platform (it's impressive)

THE FYX 086: Not Talking About Sex Drive, Hormones, and Your Energy Levels? You Might Not Be Optimizing Your Health
Want to feel and look your best from the inside out? Raise your hand if you're looking for: a better mood, more radiant skin, easier weight loss, and sexier sex. We sure hope your hand is up, and if it is, then this episode is most definitely for you. Meet Katy Whalen, Co-Founder of Joi Wellness--a telemedicine company dedicated to supporting women, and supporting them in taking control of their well-being. Joi provides its patients with innovative peptide and hormone balancing therapies, so you can feel like YOU again.
In this episode, Coach Krysta and Katy discuss:
- The origin story of Joi, and its brother company, Blokes, which actually stemmed from Katy and her husband Josh's own health journeys and challenges around conceiving children
- Katy's personal experience in implementing hormone balancing and peptide therapies, namely the positive changes in her physical and mental health
- The power of communication in relationships (especially romantic ones)
- Misconceptions around peptide treatments thanks to some bad publicity surrounding peptides like semaglutide--and what it actually is, and is not
- Why women facing menopausal symptoms are not always heard or understood in the doctor's office
- What drives male and female libido, and more importantly, how and why it might be diminished
- What it means for Katy and Krysta to optimize their health vs. just being 'relatively' healthy

THE FYX 085: Owning Your Health through Each Trimester: Establishing Your Pregnancy Journey with Katie Rossi Thune
Coach Krysta is back with a post-Thanksgiving-week episode and another strong female guest, Katie Rossi Thune. Katie is a fellow health coach and Washington & Lee alum alongside Krysta. Katie is also expecting her first baby, a boy, in just a few months! As many FYX listeners are of the age where they may be starting families of their own, we wanted Katie to share HER pregnancy journey with the audience. And boy did she open up:
We broke down the good, the 'bad,' the myths, mental health woes, fitness routines, and then some. Katie debunked a number of pregnancy "rules," and ultimatley underscored the importance of:
- Listening to your OWN body throughout your pregnancy journey
- The power of understanding that your pregnancy is not like anyone else's
- Exploring your options when it comes to birthing experience and support, whether that be a hospital or a home
- A positive mindset: there's a balance between viewing pregnancy as an injury or illness vs. continuing to push your absolute limits in the gym
- Asking questions and doing research
- Intentionally eating more food throughout pregnancy--and learning how much is 'enough' of that 'more'
We KNOW weight loss is hard. Instead of denying that truth, focus on what you CAN do to make it easier. One option? Hire a coach. We've got a FEW spots available on the Fitness FYX coaching roster for the rest of 2022.

THE FYX 084: The Present YOU is Blocking You from the Future, Healthier YOU
Coach Krysta is back with a solo episode around daily decisions, instant gratification, and the future version of you that you aspire to become. We break down exactly how your daily decisions are preventing you from losing weight, getting fit, and ultimately, leaving you just as 'stuck' as you've always been--if not, more.
Tune in to this episode if you see yourself as someone who:
- can't get out of their own way when it comes to fitness and nutrition
- feels confused by all of the different dieting and weight loss plans out there
- is afraid to ask for help
- chooses instant gratification over delayed gratification, and subsequently feels guilt for the decision
- is truly tired of starting over each year
