Kate walks through a process (also detailed in her upcoming book, "Becoming Unbreakable", where you can take a step-by-step approach to understanding what pain you're experiencing, how to work around it and the variety of treatment options depending on the severity of the pain.

I'm very excited to welcome back Kate Galliett to the show for our next 4-part series. Kate was previously on Episodes #123 and #272. This time, we're reconnecting initially in promotion of her new book "Becoming Unbreakable" which we'll be chatting about throughout the series but our first episode actually takes a few steps back. Kate and I talk a little bit about our origin stories into this industry and how the way we treated our bodies and evolved with them has shaped the way we coach.

I wrap up this 4-part series with Dr. Susan Kleiner this week on a fascinating topic regarding nutrition. In this episode, we talk about how the food we eat affects not just our bodies but our moods and our performance. Dr. Sue offers an example of an elite athlete she had the privilege of working with in efforts to highlight how our diets affect not just the way our bodies move but how brain function and emotions are affected as well. This is a highly recommended episode and series!

Dr. Susan Kleiner is back with me for the third part in our 4-part series together. In this episode, we talk about the differences in knowledge and application of when a registered dietitian would be utilized for the needs of a client versus a nutrition coach and the vast disparity of education that happens between these two options. We also chat about the inclusion of nutritionists who might fall in between these two distinctions (of RD and coach).

In the 2nd part of my 4-part series with Dr. Susan Kleiner, we take a look at how macros have taken over the conversation regarding food. Dr. Sue and I talk about the nuance in that conversation and where it can be perceived as a reductionist view of what we eat. She talks about when it's appropriate to take a micro-look at food and when simple principles work better for the general population.

I am honored to welcome back Dr. Susan Kleiner for her fourth appearance on the show and the start of the next 4-part series. I highly recommend you check out her previous episodes: #135, 142, and 191. In this episode, we focus on the recent studies that have been released discussing the merits of a weight neutral approach to improved health. Dr. Sue takes us back to a conversation that started over two decades ago and looks at where nutrition, exercise and health overlap and why a weight loss approach may not be the most effective for long-term success with overweight clients.

As we pull this 4-part series to a close, Alberto Alvarez joins me again as we tackle time management. Since my work is primarily face-to-face and his, by comparison, is in the online realm, we have very different schedules that determine how we prioritize our day. You can hear how these schedules have evolved over the years and how we have to manage tasks, timing and extenuating circumstances.

We've had the opportunity to work with his wife, his daughter, his son, his sister and even his soon-to-be son-in-law. Pete also holds the throne at the Rev for the best trapbar deadlift at 565x1. Not too shabby for a retired fella! In this episode we talk about what his journey in strength and weight loss has looked like, how the community has helped him and how he manages expectations between gaining strength and losing weight.

One of the aspects of this show prior to changing direction with the episodes that I missed the most was client spotlights. In similar fashion to what I did with the last several guests, the next four episodes will be featuring some of our RevFit rockstars and highlighting their experiences since joining here. First up is a family we have had a huge pleasure working with since they started early last year. The Herman family's story actually begins with their oldest son, Charlie, and would soon evolve into working with his mother, Rachel, and his brother and sister, Joey and Abby, respectively. Tune in to hear directly from Rachel what that journey would be like to date. I hope you enjoy.

You can reference Episodes 157 (with her husband, Tony Gentilcore), 189, 227 and 238 for our previous conversations together. Dr. Lisa has been kind enough to join me for the next 4-part series and in this first episode, we discuss a strengths based approach in both training and life.

In Part 2 of our 4-part series, Ruby Cherie and I take inspiration from a recent article written about our last episode together to discuss what we can learn about privilege and identities within diets and fitness. There were so many avenues to take the conversation and it almost seems like we only scratched the surface. Suffice to say, we're all working from completely different foundations when it comes to how we approach self-improvement.
