    Coaches Corner with Men's health coach Nick Matiash
    Feb 18 2022
    Your emotions and your mind play a much bigger role in your weight loss than you think. How much easier will your journey of well-being become once you’ve decided to learn more about your emotions?  What kind of changes may happen when you decide to finally ask for help as opposed to always doing it yourself? What if your path to greater health didn’t necessitate hiring a personal trainer? In today’s episode I had men’s health coach Nick Matiash on to discuss broadening your tool chest when it comes to how to best manage your emotions outside of just rigorous physical exercise.  We also spent some time discussing how the lack of emotional awareness in men leads to worse health outcomes, higher suicide rates, and so much more. If you’re interested in adding a greater dimension to your own wellness journey then I’m confident this episode will be worth listening to.

    Client Spotlight: Carlos
    Feb 11 2022
    Taking a proactive approach to your weight loss prior to having kids is a smart move that many men don’t take.  My client Carlos wasn’t one to shy away from that proactive work, and he lost 30+lbs as a result. In today’s client spotlight episode I sat down with my friend and online client Carlos where we discussed his two year journey working with me.  We went in-depth in talking about the inevitable balancing act that must take place when prioritizing your own well-being on top of caring for loved ones, going to school, as well as balancing life and a marriage at the same time.  The process of losing weight sustainably is not impossible, it just takes more fine tune adjusting than you’ve been led to believe. If you’ve struggled with life constantly getting in the way of your weight loss and derailing your progress, then this episode is for you.  Ready to take the next step in getting some help losing 10+lbs and becoming your kids real-life super hero?

    Coaches Corner with Jay Cliffen
    Feb 4 2022
    What's in your diet? I'm not talking about what you eat. I'm talking about what you hear and listen to. What kind of sounds accompany your day? Are these sounds restorative in nature? In what way(s) do they help you decompress, inspire movement or action? In today's episode I had musical artist Jay Cliffen on to talk about how music can be such an integral part of your medicine cabinet and how important it is to have music that can help you decompress each day. We spent some time debuting two of his tracks "Inure" and "Slack Tide" and dove in to his process around creating them. If you're looking for some new tunes to compliment your evening routine or even something to play while you stretch, relax, etc, then this episode will be well worth listening to.

    We’re adding an additional piece to the puzzle in having Clark Bearsmith from Balanced Physical Therapy on the podcast today. Many of you guys continue to ignore the signals your body is sending you by not seeking the help needed to alleviate the aches and pains you’re experiencing… and it’s a recipe for chronic pain. My colleague Clark and I spent some time talking about how important of a role physical therapy can play in your wellness journey and why treatment needs to be something you consider in your future.  Too many times I see guys shrug treatable pain off and opt back into a strenuous workout routine just to perpetuate an injury that can be easily treated.   We walk through some simple tips and tweaks that you can make to your routine that will improve the quality of your life dramatically.  Every single guy on planet Earth needs to listen to this episode.  Your sustained well-being depends on it.  You can connect with Clark and his team by visiting their website here: https://www.balancedrehababq.com/location/albuquerque-south-tramway (https://www.balancedrehababq.com/location/albuquerque-south-tramway) Are you a Dad that’s needing help losing 10+ pounds?  Head over to my free Facebook group The Lean Dad Project for further support, guidance, and everything in between.  Click the link here to join:  https://urlgeni.us/facebook/LeanDadProject (https://urlgeni.us/facebook/LeanDadProject) Connect with me on Instagram here: https://urlgeni.us/instagram/Aware (https://urlgeni.us/instagram/Aware)

    Client Spotlight: Vince C.
    Jan 21 2022
    Working with a coach can be a long-term evolutionary process for most people, spanning anywhere from 6 months to a year to even a couple of years, but in the case of my online client Vince… try almost a decade! Your health needs are inevitably going to change over time, so the delivery of your coaching should change and grow as well. In this week’s episode we dive into another client spotlight with my friend and online client Vince.  He and I spent some time talking about the entirety of his journey thus far as we make our way towards 10 years of working together.    This spans working together when I first started training at a local gym back in 2012 to switching to online training before the pandemic hit.  We discussed how in-depth the coach/client dynamic can be when it comes to helping you solve many of the problems life throws at you through travel, changing exercise interests, and so much more. This is definitely an episode you don’t want to miss!  Ready to take the next step in getting some help losing 10+lbs and becoming your kids real-life super hero?

In today’s episode I walk you through how to redefine your progress, especially when the number on the scale refuses to budge.  I give you different tips and tools around where you can find progress in places you would have never imagined, and how this way of thinking can forever change your life and you keep you on track.

    Coaches Corner: A New Year's Resolution feat. Andruw Nez
    Dec 31 2021
    What is your New Year's Resolution going to be?  Will you spend it grinding away at the gym again?  Or is it perhaps time for something different? In today’s episode of The Coaches Corner Series I spent some time with Andruw Nez, Owner and Master Massage Therapist of Aurora Sky Massage. Andruw and I discussed a new “New Year’s Resolution” that may be worth adopting by some of you guys as you implement more self-care/recovery practices to your routine.  After all, you can only push yourself so hard and for so long before your body and mind start to break down.  Today’s episode is aimed at giving you a different perspective when it comes to “exercise”. We discussed what to look for in a massage therapist, why massage therapy needs to be added to your routine and so much more. If you’re ready to “flip the script” when it comes to how you take care of yourself, then this episode is for you!  You can contact Andruw and his team at their website here: https://www.auroraskymassage.com/ (https://www.auroraskymassage.com/) Are you a Dad that’s needing help losing 10+ pounds?  Head on over to my free Facebook group The Lean Dad Project for further support, guidance, and everything in between.  Click the link here to join:  https://urlgeni.us/facebook/LeanDadProject (https://urlgeni.us/facebook/LeanDadProject) Connect with me on Instagram here: https://urlgeni.us/instagram/Aware (https://urlgeni.us/instagram/Aware)
