Fitness expert, race announcer, and author Fitz Koehler joins Justin to dismantle the diet industry and give a clear, science-based path to fitness, weight loss, and longevity. She shares her decades of experience teaching in 17 countries, explaining how simple principles—eating the right amount of the right foods and moving consistently—beat every gimmick, cleanse, and “miracle” plan on the market.​

Fitz and Justin talk about why most diets fail, the cultural excuses around “genetics,” and how family habits, not DNA, create generations of poor health. They dig into how fitness fuels leadership: energy, patience, creativity, kindness, and professional performance all improve when you sleep well, eat well, and stay strong.
