“Oh-M-G, why are you drinking that, don’t you know it’s poison?” Why is the topic of sugar-free beverages so polarizing? The latest headlines are making their way through social media spreading fear that Splenda damages DNA.

Mitch is joined by Rhyland Qually, a fellow strength coach from Winnipeg, where we discuss Rhyland's journey from being a chubby kid to becoming a boxing enthusiast and eventually a fitness coach. Rhyland participated in a fitness competition four years ago but was disappointed with his performance.

All by itself, Ozempic isn't a magic pill. It does nothing but decrease your appetite. You see all the reports of "Ozempic Butt" and "Ozempic Face" out there, with many studies reporting as much as HALF the weight lost is lean muscle! Talk about skinny fat... But a simple fix for that is pairing it with a plan built to maintain lean muscle while effortlessly shedding fat.​I have private coaching clients who have lost 10-plus pounds of pure body fat in a single month using this very protocol. I helped them get the OK from their doctor and we were off to the races. It's not cheating, it's science, and if cravings are your Achille's heel, this might just be the solution you need. As always, we encourage you to consult with your healthcare provider before starting or making any changes to your treatment plan. They can assess your unique situation and help determine if Ozempic is the right choice for you.

In today's episode we talk about two missing links to TRUE transformation. Sticking it out boils down to identity change + connection. You don’t need a babysitter, you need a system, support and connection to a community that builds you up, not break you down. Accountability is not a one-way street but two or more people teaming up and bringing value to the table. Once you do that, you become truly accountable. Listen in to see how to foster these two shifts so you don't fall off the wagon next time!

We're back and getting close to wrapping this up! (lol) Last episode, we left things off on the upswing in 2015... I had around 20 PT clients on the side … On top of my 9-5 demands promoting personal training and gym memberships by day at the Rady. And I was dipping my toe in the writing waters with regular articles in Men's Health and others. I got busier, and busier, and busier. ..All squeezed in the early AM and late PM around my day to day work demands. So I figured something would have to give eventually … That's when it all came to a head. This episode dives into how I made it out alive.

In the previous episode in this 4 part series, I shared the rocky road my fat loss journey took until I figured things out long enough to lose 60ish pounds and keep it off. Now I want to take you on the roller coaster that was building this coaching practice (it was a rougher ride LOL) Fast forward to 2011 and I was four years into a career in communications, first as a sports reporter and now in PR pushing papers. And I wasn’t fulfilled. Fitness kept calling. I figured I got myself in shape and kept it off, could count to 10, and had already perfected the essential personal trainer photo pose of crossed arms and a sullen stare just off camera. I had trained some friends of friends and got a few success stories under my belt largely by accident. So what more could I need to become the next big thing?Turns out...A lot.

Hey, I'm back with part 2 of my 4 part trip down memory lane. So, I finished off the last one teasing my big wake-up call...It's best shared with a quick story. We've all been there. A night out, followed by the morning after waking up to notifications on your phone. “You’ve been tagged in a photo” Gulp. I faced this dire situation on Nov. 1, 2008. It wasn’t the fact I was dressed up in this ridiculous genie costume that was so humiliating… (although that’s pretty bad in retrospect) But the fact I looked so bloated and red faced. And this was years after my 60-lb weight loss transformation. I can’t find the photo now, but I likely hired some hacker to make it disappear. I vowed to never let myself get to that point again. And the big lesson learned? Listen in to find out...
