Episode Description

In this episode of The Your Level Fitness Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Brett Yoh for a wide ranging and honest conversation that blends health, mindset, weight loss, recovery, and real life perspective. We cover everything from sports fandom and cultural hot takes to what it actually looks like to navigate major health decisions as an adult with a long history of weight struggles.

Brett shares his experience with bariatric surgery, including the decision making process, recovery complications, and the physical and emotional realities of rapid weight loss. We talk about the importance of patience, adapting to forced lifestyle changes, and finding ways to celebrate progress that do not revolve around food. His story highlights how progress is rarely linear and how awareness and self honesty matter more than perfection.

We also explore how modern culture, social media, and constant consumption pull people out of the moment, whether it is at sporting events, concerts, or even during major life milestones. This conversation ties directly into the inside/out approach to fitness and life, focusing on sustainability, presence, and building habits that support long term health rather than short term results.

If you have been on a weight loss journey for years, feel overwhelmed by the scale, or are navigating health decisions while trying to reconnect with yourself, this episode offers grounded insight, real perspective, and a reminder that progress can look very different than expected

In this episode of The Your Level Fitness Podcast I am catching up with my friend Chad Williams from Doing Hard Things My Way. We start with some football talk and Bengal and Dolphin emotions, then move right into what it looks like for Chad to keep running through a cold northeast winter while managing cerebral palsy, back pain, tight muscles, and the mental side of wondering if each new injury is the big one. Chad shares how he is trying to find a better balance between running, the gym, recovery, and assisted stretching so he can keep moving without ending up back in the dark place he was a few years ago.

We talk about what it really means to have a home base gym when you have CP or any visible difference, why environment and support matter, and how easy it is to slip from a little back pain into full shutdown when you stop reaching out. Chad walks through the story behind Doing Hard Things My Way, how a Spartan race invitation showed up right when he needed it, and how that personal motto has grown into races, community, and real impact for other people with CP.

We also dig into Chad’s plans for future races, including pushing an athlete in a wheelchair, his involvement in adaptive running events, the launch of the Doing Hard Things My Way adaptive athlete scholarship, and his ongoing work on a memoir that aims to give younger athletes with cerebral palsy a powerful sense of possibility.

If you are someone navigating chronic limitations, long term injuries, or the mental weight of staying active into your thirties and forties, this is a real and honest conversation about balance, fear, support systems, and refusing to let circumstances decide your story.

In this episode of The YLF Chats Podcast, I’m joined by Stephanie and Bex from the Bariatric Warrior Podcast. We dive deep into their personal journeys with bariatric surgery, chronic illness, and how those experiences shaped their mission to create a truly supportive and inclusive community through Bariatric Warrior Support.

Stephanie shares her complex medical background, including over 25 surgeries, life-threatening complications, and what it was like to navigate the healthcare system as both a nurse and patient.

Bex opens up about her weight loss journey, mental health, chronic pain, and how she found healing through movement and community. Together, they’re building a platform that meets people where they are, offering patient advocacy, fitness support, and true emotional connection.

This episode is a raw and emotional conversation about resilience, grief, fear, identity, and finding purpose through the hardest parts of life. If you’ve ever felt isolated on your wellness journey, this is the conversation you need to hear.
