In this episode of The Hard Truth, Jeremy Fouts tackles one of the most misunderstood problems in youth athletics: underfueling. Not because kids are lazy, picky, or unmotivated but because they’ve never been taught how to eat like athletes.

Jeremy explains why appetite is trained, not automatic, and why relying on hunger cues causes athletes to fuel like hunters instead of performers. Using real-world examples from his own sons and the thousands of athletes he’s coached, he breaks down the biology behind appetite suppression, stress, digestion, growth, and why so many hard-working kids are stuck in calorie deficits without realizing it.

He reveals the hard truth: Athletes aren’t failing because they don’t eat enough food they’re failing because they’ve never learned to fuel with intention.

But the good news? Appetite can be trained just like speed, strength, and mindset.

From scheduled eating and carb confidence to liquid calories and night fueling, this episode gives parents a clear blueprint to stop guessing, stop nagging, and start building stronger, faster, more confident athletes. Because when athletes learn to eat like athletes not hunters everything changes.

In this episode of The Hard Truth, Jeremy Fouts delivers a raw, timely message for parents, athletes, and adults heading into a new year: it’s time to get back in the game. Born from real conversations, real coaching moments, and real-life reflection, this episode challenges the quiet drift toward comfort that robs people of energy, purpose, and momentum.

Jeremy breaks down how so many adults unknowingly step out of the game physically, mentally, and spiritually and how that decision doesn’t just affect them, but the example they set for their kids. From discipline and training to nutrition, alcohol, sugar, and excuses, he exposes the silent killers that slowly pull people out of the arena. This isn’t about vanity. It’s about leadership, longevity, and living the life you were designed to live.

The hard truth: Life does not reward comfort it rewards effort.

The good news: You’re not too old, too busy, or too far gone. You just have to decide to get back in the game.

From parenting and marriage to health, mindset, and purpose, this episode is a wake-up call to stop coasting, stop blaming, and start building again. 2026 isn’t won by good intentions it’s won by action.

In this episode of The Hard Truth, Jeremy Fouts breaks down one of the most misunderstood supplements in sports nutrition: creatine.

Jeremy answers the questions he hears every single day from parents, athletes, and adults Is creatine safe for youth athletes? Does it damage kidneys? Does it cause dehydration, cramping, or weight gain? Backed by decades of research and over a thousand clinical studies, Jeremy walks through the real science behind creatine, how it works at the cellular level, and why it’s no longer just a “gym supplement,” but one of the most researched performance and longevity tools available today.

He reveals the hard truth: Fear around creatine comes from myths not science.

But the good news? When used correctly, creatine is one of the safest and most effective supplements for strength, recovery, and even cognitive performance.

From explaining ATP production and muscle energy to debunking outdated loading phases and supplement marketing gimmicks, this episode gives parents and athletes the clarity they need to make informed decisions. If you train hard, compete hard, or simply want to support long-term performance and brain health, this is the creatine conversation you’ve been waiting for.
