No Such Thing with Krysta Huber

Looking for an unfiltered, no-bullshit take on fitness, nutrition, and the wellness industry as a whole? Aram Grigorian is your guy--formally known to the social media world as 4weeks2thebeach. Aram is primarily a personal trainer, and has been in the fitness industry for over a decade. He initially found his way into the gym as a means to avoid commute traffic for his 9 to 5 finance job, and coaching quickly followed as his coworkers began to turn to him for advice. Aram was open and frank about his experience growing up as a Russian immigrant in an upper middle class neighborhood of Connecticut. He reminds us in this conversation that men experience many of the same insecurities as us ladies out there, but they're often not as vocal about it. In this episode you will learn: - Why resistance training and weightlifting are a non-negotiable for anyone chasing the "lean and toned" look we all desire - The power of consistency, and why it's the foundation of any diet - How cardio is getting in the way of your fat loss goals - The necessity for learning HOW to eat--it's not taught to children, instead food is simply placed in front of them - Why eating more actually supports your fat loss goals long term - Why you should seriously commit to tracking your food, sleep, digestion, weight, and a variety of biofeedback markers if you want real, sustainable results Fill your coffee cup, sip away, and get your FYX of Coach Krysta and her guests on The FYX podcast.

Jonah Mitchell is a certified personal trainer, nutrition coach, and former collegiate athlete determined to help busy people realize they matter. ICYMI--constantly placing everyone's needs ahead of your own isn't making you a better person. In fact, it's getting in the way of your physical and emotional development. Jonah joined me on this episode of The FYX to help reframe the conversation around self-care and mental health. It's time we stop confusing self-care with being selfish--and for that matter, demonizing selfishness in general. Jonah opens up about his childhood, past relationships, and the beliefs he's held onto for years--most of which he now realizes were limiting his potential. Through journaling, reading, and therapy, Jonah is actively working to break away from the false agreements he made with his younger self in order to grow as a coach, husband, professional, and friend. We also dive into: - the importance of establishing habits and routines that are designed to guarantee success: hint -- start small - how the values we maintain in our personal relationships and professional lives should align with our approaches to fitness and nutrition - the fact that a 1% margin of improvement is STILL an improvement worth celebrating - the pluses and minuses of sharing progress photos as a marketing tool and celebration of client successes - how to establish an "All American" mindset beyond athletics and in all areas of life Fill your coffee cup, sip away, and get your FYX of Coach Krysta and her guests on The FYX podcast.

We're sitting down with one of my business mentors, Chase Chewning, for today's episode. Chase is a fellow podcaster and wellness expert, my podcast coach, and an all-around great friend who is quite literally a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the latest health topics, products, and trends in the space. His podcast, Ever Forward Radio, has over 1.5 million downloads and counting, and as he's nearing the 500- episode-mark, you can imagine he's become a lifelong learner of the nutrition and fitness industry. After connecting with Chase through a mutual friend last fall, he gave me the structure and final push I needed to officially hit 'Record' and bring the FYX podcast concept to life through his podcast coaching biz, Operation Podcast. The power of having a team to both support your goals and grow your network developed as the main theme of this conversation--that comes as no surprise considering he's played that exact role in my life over the past year.  Living a life of wellness has always been a part of Chase's story, beginning with eating fresh food from his grandparents' garden throughout childhood, playing baseball throughout school and enjoying time in the mountains surrounding his family's southwest VA home. After six years of active duty, Chase was medically discharged from the military due a string of injuries that ultimately required him to have bilateral reconstructive hip surgeries. After learning how to walk again, twice, exercise as medicine and healthy lifestyle modifications became his passion.

Courtenay Turner was born with congenital rubella. Her mother had the German measles during first trimester of pregnancy. Some of the ramifications included unilateral blindness, severe bilateral hearing impairment, hypotonia affecting the limbs, heart complications, asymmetrical bone development, stunted growth, poor fine and graphic motor coordination, and several other afflictions. Doctors told her parents the best they could hope was to find an institution to put her in for life. From the baby nurse who put her in a wet sandbox, to her grandfather building a balance beam and exercises that her mother developed, or childhood gymnastics and other individualized sports, Courtenay is a prime example of how movement is integral to development and healing! She attributes her ability to overcome lack of motion parallax depth perception, for vestibular sense, hypotonic muscles and poor coordination to the movement practices she has emerged from infancy through adulthood.
