You’re tracking your food, hitting your workouts, getting your steps in… so why isn’t the scale moving?

If your fat loss feels stuck, your energy is low, and cravings are through the roof… the problem might not be your diet or training.

It might be your sleep.

In this episode, we break down how sleep impacts fat loss, metabolism, hunger hormones (ghrelin & leptin), energy, and recovery... and why poor sleep could be the hidden factor sabotaging your results, even when everything else is dialed in.

This is Part 1 of a 3-part series pulled directly from a live workshop I hosted called "Don’t Sleep on Sleep."

So if you hear references to charts or visuals, that’s why.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why you can be doing everything “right” and still not losing weight
• How sleep deprivation increases hunger and cravings
• The impact of sleep on fat loss, muscle retention, and metabolism
• Why poor sleep can stall progress, or even reverse it

If you want the video workshop replay along with the workbook to apply this step-by-step...

You’ve said it before…

“I know what to do… I just need to do it.”

But if that were true… you’d already be doing it.

In this episode, I break down the real reason you feel stuck, and it’s not motivation, discipline, or willpower.

It’s a skill gap.

I share a story from early in my coaching career (Mark & Greg vs. me) that completely changed how I think about fat loss, and why most people are playing the game with the wrong rules.

Then I walk you through the 5 steps to building the skill of fat loss:

1. Knowledge – what to do
2. Awareness – what you’re actually doing
3. Repetition – putting in the reps
4. Adaptability – when life throws curveballs
5. Identity – becoming the person who does the work

This is how you go from: “I know” → “I can do” → “I am”

If this episode hit home, I’d love to hear from you.

In Episode 18, we spotlight another inspiring Client Case Study, featuring Zach Malito, a 38-year-old husband, father of six, and CrossFit athlete who took his health and performance to the next level with Copper State FIT.

At his heaviest, Zach weighed around 240 pounds. Despite years of training, he felt stuck... juggling family, business, and fitness while falling short of his true potential. That all changed when he decided to get serious about fueling his performance and building long-term structure.

Since joining CSF, Zach has lost over 33 pounds of fat and dropped 12% body fat, revealing abs for the first time in his life, all while hitting personal bests in the gym and placing fifth in competition.

In this episode, you’ll hear how Zach:

• Went from inconsistent nutrition to a structured, sustainable plan
• Rebuilt his mindset around discipline, flexibility, and ownership
• Found balance between elite fitness and family life
• Discovered how to fuel like an athlete, without restriction

If you’re a high-achieving parent or professional who’s ready to look, feel, and perform at your best again, Zach’s story will light the fire you’ve been missing.

🎧 Tune in now to hear how he turned structure into freedom... one habit, one workout, and one choice at a time.
