Vigor Life Podcast
About this episode

I wanted to share the principles and strategies I often talk about with clients to help them create sustainable change with their body and health. This speaks both to you as an individual looking for change or to coaches helping clients achieve meaningful change. There’s so much confusing information out there that it makes it harder to begin or to stick to something that will actually help you improve how you look, feel and perform. 


I share principles, as well as strategies, tactics, and examples of how to attain true change, one that sticks for good and that most people can take on. 


There’s theory, and then there’s application and real world experience of applying research. I share the real world experience and examples of how you can make 2024 your best year yet when it comes to your body.

  • The principles that nutrition success is built on and what NOT to do! 
  • The 6-steps that you must follow as a coach or client to win at changing your nutrition, health, and body. 
  • Your current results are based on your behaviors today, the desired results you want will require these behaviors.

  • How strength training, cardio, and stress affect your calorie intake and daily nutrition. 
  • What you MUST know about your food environment or it could be the obstacle that prevents you from changing. 
  • The breakdown for calories, macros, and habits whether you’re trying to lose fat, gain muscle, or do a body recomposition. 
  • Which supplements make sense and which are a waste of money. 
  • Why journaling makes sense for training and nutrition. 
  • What every successful body transformation has in common.
