What they actually need is a system that doesn't require willpower in the first place. In this episode I sit down with Cody McBroom, founder of Tailored Coaching Method and host of the Choose Hard podcast (5M+ downloads), to break down what actually creates lasting behavior change in fitness and nutrition clients. This isn't another conversation about macros or programming. It's about the identity and belief work that separates people who transform permanently from people who yo-yo forever. *We get into:* * Why "I just need to be more disciplined" is almost never the real problem * The if/then method that removes willpower from the equation completely * How to "borrow self belief" from your coach when you don't have your own yet * Why identity change, not motivation, is what makes results stick * How your core values quietly shape every habit you either keep or break * The boundaries most people are too scared to set, and why that's costing them progress * Why coaches who blame their clients are missing their own job If you've tried every diet and every program and still can't stay consistent, this episode explains why, and what actually works instead. Cody also talks about his new Behavior Change Specialist certification for coaches, launching January 2027.

Schedule a call: https://strongstandard.com/schedule-call/?utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=podcast Today I'm sharing seven boring habits that will completely transform your health and your body if you do them consistently. None of them are exciting, and that's exactly why they work. The health and wellness space is full of shiny new objects, but the truth is the basic fundamentals are what actually move the needle.

In this episode I break down: Why strength training 3x per week is enough for health benefits How to build a sleep routine that actually sticks Why 8,000 steps a day cuts your risk of all cause mortality The exact protein and fiber breakfast formula I use My simple approach to meal prep (no color coded containers required) Why tracking your metrics creates the awareness you need to improve The one habit almost nobody does that changes your mindset completely Pick one or two of these to start with, stay consistent for a couple of weeks, then layer in more.

This Is EXACTLY What's Wrong With the Health and Wellness Space
📥 Download my FREE Weight Loss Guide: https://strongstandard.com/freebies/blueprint/ 🚀 Ready for expert coaching? Schedule a call: https://strongstandard.com/schedule-call/?utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=podcast I'm breaking down the biggest problem I see in the health and wellness industry right now, and it's costing people thousands of dollars while leaving them with zero results. I recently started working with a new client, a 69-year-old nurse who had already spent thousands of dollars with a "credentialed" wellness provider before coming to us. She got a list of 100 supplements, liver cleanses, and detox protocols. She saw no weight loss and no improvement in her health. In this episode I share the exact 4-step playbook that scammers in the wellness space use over and over again: They make you feel broken They discredit real science They use complex language to sound like an authority They filter feedback so only the success stories get seen I also explain what my client actually needed to see real progress, and the 3 things anyone actually needs to succeed with health, fitness, and nutrition: the right strategy, real education, and consistent accountability. If you have felt confused by conflicting health advice online, or you have been told there is something uniquely wrong with your body that is stopping you from losing weight, this episode is for you.

Schedule a call: https://strongstandard.com/schedule-call/?utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=podcast If you're over 40 and it feels like nothing works anymore, you're not broken. Your body has changed, and that means your approach needs to change too. In this episode I break down exactly why fat loss gets harder as we age (hormonal shifts, muscle loss, a slower metabolism) and what to actually do about it. Spoiler: it's not about eating less and doing more cardio. Here's what I cover: Why testosterone and estrogen changes after 30 and 40 directly impact how your body stores fat and builds muscle Why "weight loss" and "fat loss" are not the same thing, and why chasing the number on the scale can backfire The exact training variables that actually build muscle (volume, exercise selection, range of motion, intensity, and progressive overload) Why lifting weights doesn't automatically mean you're building muscle The nutrition foundation you need before any diet or calorie tracking will work How to calculate your protein needs and set a sustainable calorie deficit that doesn't sacrifice muscle Why perfection isn't the goal, and how to make your nutrition actually enjoyable long term If you're tired of feeling stuck and want a strategy built for how your body actually works after 40, this episode is for you.

The Hard Question I Ask Every Client Who Can't Keep Weight Off
Download my FREE Nutrition for Fat Loss eBook: https://strongstandard.com/freebies/blueprint/ Apply to work with us at Strong Standard: https://strongstandard.com/schedule-call/?utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=podcast I have a friend in his early 40s. Successful business, great marriage, involved dad, respected in his community. By every measure, the guy has his life figured out. He's also lost 60 pounds three times. And gained it all back every single time. When I asked him why, his answer was honest: "I just don't care enough when I'm a little heavier. It doesn't really bother me." That's exactly the problem. After working with over 1,000 clients, I can tell you that most people who struggle to stay consistent don't have a plan problem. They have a why problem. Their goal is too small, too selfish, and too easy to abandon when life gets hard. In this episode I share the three questions I ask every client who can't keep the weight off, and why the answer to those questions matters more than any nutrition strategy or workout program I could ever give you. What you'll learn: Why outcome-based goals like "lose 20 pounds" almost always fail long term The difference between a selfish why and a legacy why The three questions that help you build a why strong enough to survive real life Why I still hit my three workouts a week during one of the hardest stretches of my life

For 30 years, he gained weight, lost it, and gained it all back — running marathons, trying workout DVDs, hiding in the dark so no one could see him exercise. Nothing stuck. Two years ago, he joined Strong Standard. Today, he's down over 45 lbs, running faster than ever, and for the first time in his life, took his shirt off in public. This episode is for you if you've been stuck in the same cycle and feel like there's no way out. In this conversation, I sit down with Nate Waldron, one of our longest-standing community members, to break down: Why cardio alone keeps you trapped in the yo-yo dieting cycle How building muscle gave Nate the flexibility to eat ice cream guilt-free and still stay lean The psychology behind scarcity eating and how Nate learned to manage it Why tracking your food doesn't have to feel like punishment How Nate used a personal vision (not just a weight goal) to stay consistent for 2+ years The mindset shift that turned fitness into confidence as a husband, father, and coach Why quiet confidence matters more than visible abs Nate isn't a fitness influencer. He's a busy IT professional, executive coach, and father of four who finally found what actually works, and he breaks it all down here.

Gary spent 20 years as a dentist trying to grow his practice by being the best at what he did. It didn't work. Not until he discovered his why and completely changed how he talked about what he does did everything shift. In this episode, we get into the framework he built to help people discover not just their why, but how they operate and what they naturally deliver. Gary actually walks through my own results live, and honestly, hearing it out loud gave me more clarity on how I show up in my business and my relationships than I expected. We also get into something I've been working through myself: how to build a message and brand around what you believe, not just what you do, and why that difference is everything when it comes to attracting the right people. If you've ever felt like you knew yourself but couldn't quite articulate it, this one's for you. Links: Get your free Why Discovery → [link in show notes]

Nutrition Doctor Explains Why Your Diet Falls Apart On The Weekend And How To Fix It
Download my FREE Nutrition for Fat Loss eBook: https://strongstandard.com/freebies/blueprint/ Apply to work with us at Strong Standard: https://strongstandard.com/schedule-call/?utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=podcast Do you eat perfectly healthy Monday through Friday, only to completely fall off track every weekend? You're not alone, and it's probably not a willpower problem. In this episode, I break down the real reason your diet keeps failing on the weekends: the restriction-reward cycle. When your weekday eating is too rigid and joyless, the weekend becomes a psychological escape valve, and no amount of discipline will fix that. In this episode I cover: What the restriction-reward cycle is and why you might be stuck in it Why eating "too clean" during the week is actually making your weekends worse How black-and-white thinking around food sabotages your long-term consistency Why the gap between how you eat on weekdays vs. weekends is the real issue How to build flexibility into your diet 7 days a week without losing progress The 80/20 rule and how to actually apply it to your eating habits Calorie banking: how to plan ahead for big meals or nights out How to set smart limits around alcohol and dining out without feeling restricted Why being more flexible during the week is the key to staying consistent on weekends If you've been caught in the cycle of restricting all week and then binging on the weekends, this episode is for you. Progress doesn't have to mean perfection, and sustainability is always the goal.

The truth is: weight loss isn't the goal, and chasing it might be the exact reason you keep spinning your wheels. In this episode, I break down what's actually happening in your body after 40, why eating less and doing more cardio tends to backfire, and what you should be focusing on instead to lose fat and keep it off for good. Here's what we cover: - Why the scale is a misleading scorecard (and what to track instead) - How muscle loss after 30 quietly slows your metabolism - Why crash dieting and cardio-heavy programs accelerate the problem - The two levers you actually need to pull: resistance training + smart nutrition - Key training variables: intensity, progressive overload, range of motion, and volume - How much protein you need and what rate of weight loss is actually sustainable This isn't about losing weight fast. It's about improving your body composition in a way that's sustainable, healthy, and doesn't leave you feeling like you have to starve yourself to see results.

Download my FREE Nutrition for Fat Loss eBook: https://strongstandard.com/freebies/blueprint/ Apply to work with us at Strong Standard: https://strongstandard.com/schedule-call/?utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=podcast In this episode, I sit down again with my postdoctoral mentor and longtime friend Dr. Mike Ormsby, full professor at Florida State University, for a conversation that goes way beyond the science. We talk about what balance actually looks like when you're a parent, a professional, and someone who refuses to let fitness fall off. Spoiler: it's not what most people think. Mike breaks down how he structures his training around a busy schedule, why consistency over perfection is the only approach that actually works long-term, and what the research says about exercise snacks for people who feel like they have zero time. We also get into something I don't talk about enough. Communication. Why so many experts with incredible knowledge completely fail at getting their message across, how Mike went from avoiding the camera to going all in on science communication, and why translating complex research into practical advice is one of the most important things we can do in this industry. If you've ever felt like you don't have enough time to train, struggle with all-or-nothing thinking, or you're sitting on knowledge or a skill you've been too afraid to share, this one's for you.
