In this episode of The Your Level Fitness Podcast, we take a deep look at one of the most common statements in the health and fitness world. The best program is the one you can stick with. It sounds simple. It even sounds cliché. But when you really unpack what that means, it holds the key to sustainable success.

I talk about why most people bounce from program to program and spend years chasing a solution that fits. For many, this pursuit becomes a lifelong cycle. I walk through how to use your experience, your preferences, and your own history with food and fitness to build something that actually works for you. Not just for a few weeks. But something you can build on for the rest of your life.

You’ve likely picked up a lot of skills and knowledge over the years, even if you haven’t reached all your goals yet. That matters. Your consistency muscle is real. You’ve already been training it. So now, it’s time to build something around what you enjoy, what you can do regularly, and what fits into your life.

If this resonates with you, I encourage you to explore the blog, sign up for the daily email, or dive into the self-paced Q&A video playlist. And if you want to take it a step further, join The YLF Experience and start building your inside-out lifestyle with some extra support.

Episode Description:
What would your health and fitness journey look like if you started from a place of appreciation instead of dissatisfaction? In this episode, I challenge you to take a completely different approach to weight loss and fitness. One that starts by valuing your body as it is, has been, and will be.

Your body is going to change. It will get stronger, slower, more agile, and stiffer at different points in your life. The problem is that many people pursue fitness because they don’t like what they see in the mirror. And when that’s the fuel behind your actions, you end up chasing a standard that was never meant for you.

Instead, I’m asking you to build your approach from the inside out. Appreciate your body now. Appreciate what it’s done for you before. And still work toward what you want. But do it with a calm, deliberate mindset. Start small with minimums you can commit to for life, like fifteen minutes of movement a day or one serving of vegetables. Over time, those minimums can grow. But the power is in building momentum and trusting that progress will come from consistency.

You don’t have to do extreme workouts or follow a rigid diet unless you want to. But if you do, let it come from a place of self-respect and not punishment. This episode lays out a sustainable, preference-based approach to eating and exercise that can actually last.

In this episode of The Your Level Fitness Podcast, I’m breaking down something that’s been quietly sabotaging so many people’s health and weight loss journeys for years… the never-ending search for “optimal.” You see it all over social media. People promoting the perfect way to eat, train, and live. There’s always some new study, some flashy new trick, or some guru with an air-tight plan that’s guaranteed to work. And it’s always backed by “research,” right?

But let’s get real. If following someone else’s optimal plan was all it took, it would have worked by now. Instead, most people are left feeling stuck, defeated, and like they’re the problem when the plan doesn’t fit. What I want to help you do is flip that script entirely.

This episode is about helping you let go of what you think you’re supposed to do and instead start with what you actually like to do. That includes food, exercise, and even how you manage stress. I share examples from my own day-to-day like how I intentionally keep Pop-Tarts in my pantry as part of a bigger trade-off strategy. Because real life isn’t lived in a lab, and your preferences matter.

We’re diving into how you build consistency through small, realistic, and enjoyable changes — not by chasing the latest health headline or trying to guilt yourself into being more “disciplined.” You’ll also hear why I believe in addition before subtraction and how building your own eating and exercise plan around your name, your needs, and your preferences is the only sustainable path forward.

So if you’re tired of trying to force yourself into cookie-cutter plans, this one’s for you. It’s time to stop aiming for “optimal” and start building a life that works for you.
