September 16, 2020 09:00 - 42 minutes - 39.3 MBHave you struggled with weight loss, fitness and health goals for a long time? Months? Years? Decades? Does it sometimes feel like you've tried everything under the sun and you just can't seem to get any closer to your goals? Or worse....you get closer, and then any progress you did make...just gets lost as the weight piles back on? We see this EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

EP132: Nutrition and Training for Permanent Weight Loss
September 01, 2020 09:00 - 39 minutes - 36.1 MBIn this episode, Gordon goes over how the body actually utilizes energy to perform functions, and how when that's misunderstood it's very easy to think you're doing things right when you aren't and vice versa. Gordon also goes over specifically what needs to happen both nutritionally and in workouts/training in order to do a few things: 1) Get the body fat off 2) Get that lean, defined look 3) Keep those results permanently without supplements, pills or other nonsense This was exported f...
EP131: Do You Feel Like You Don't Have "IT"?
August 25, 2020 09:00 - 54 minutes - 50 MBSometimes it seems like everyone around you is doing so much better than you. They're losing weight easier, they seem happier, and life seems to be flowing better for them in every area. Why is this? Especially in that one area of health, fitness and weight loss. Ever ask yourself "How does everyone else seem to be able to do it but ME?!" This sometimes makes us wonder... "what am I missing?"..."I've worked so hard but made no progress, what's the secret?". Sound familiar? In this epi...
EP130: Commitment is Useless Without Action
August 18, 2020 09:00 - 31 minutes - 28.9 MBIn this episode, we discuss the difference between wanting to have the body of your dreams permanently, and NEEDING to have the body of your dreams permanently. What we've found over the years is that when someone has ultimately decided that this is a genuine NEED for them, then they show up BIG in 3 key areas: -Decisive -Coachable -Committed When you carry these 3 traits and you absolutely need to finally shed the weight, get into the body of your dreams and do so in a way that's ACTU...
EP129: A Tale of Two Women Who Wanted to Be Fit
August 12, 2020 09:00 - 56 minutes - 51.5 MBIn this episode, Gordon and Scott bring you a tale of two women that desperately want the body of their dreams, and try as they might, they never get there. (FYI this applies to men as well, with subtle differences). Unfortunately for these two women we're going to describe, they have no shortage of work ethic, determination, or grit. However, their underlying kryptonite breaks them down from within, leaving them disappointed, upset, frustrated, and feeling like a fraction of who they KNOW ...
EP128: What Does It Mean to Have Permanent Results?
April 27, 2020 12:58 - 49 minutes - 45.2 MBThe overwhelming majority of fitness companies, trainers & coaches talk about getting "real results FAST" and how they can get someone "shredded in 12 weeks"...but how much of that is permanent? What will happen to that person after 18 weeks, or 24 weeks? Will they still have their results? Or will they have to buckle down and repeat that same diet plan and workout plan to get those results again? That is not a healthy way to live, nor is it sustainable. And it certainly isn't permanent. ...
EP127: Should You Wait Until COVID-19 Is Over?
April 20, 2020 08:00 - 23 minutes - 21.6 MBHow are you dealing with the Coronavirus? How much are you looking out into the future relative to what's going on right now? Are you using the global quarantine as rationale to contract INSTEAD of expand into a life of vitality, health and become permanently fit? Very excited to have to recorded this episode, even though it was done on the fly. There is a lot of value here, and if you stop to ask yourself some of the questions I'm asking, you may identify some holes in your thought proces...
EP126: Are You Committed?
February 20, 2020 14:14 - 25 minutes - 23.4 MBWhat does it actually mean to be committed to your health and fitness? Does it mean to grind endlessly in the gym? Does it mean to eat the same, bland meals every day? Does it mean to give up your social life so you aren't tempted? Does it mean no more alcohol ever again? There's a big misunderstanding around fitness and health and what it means to be committed to change. In this episode, I dive into what this means and the difference between being "curious" about change and "committed...
EP125: Being an Underdog is ALWAYS an Advantage
January 20, 2020 10:00 - 1 hour - 55.4 MBIn this episode I sit down with Zachary Babcock of Underdog Empowerment. He has spent the last few years going against the grain to build his company and brand with all the cards stacked against him. Everything that we discuss in this episode is 100% relevant to fitness and health objectives, as well as those who are struggling to do ANYTHING big or impactful. I always say that achieving amazing fitness and health goals is simple, but not easy, and as we discuss in this episode, anytime you...

January 13, 2020 10:00 - 30 minutes - 28.3 MBDo you actually believe you'll get what you want?

EP123: The 4 Phases of Transformation
January 06, 2020 10:00 - 36 minutes - 33 MBThe 4 Phases of a Fitness Transformation EXPLAINED. Going through a weight loss, health, or fitness transformation is challenging. No one has actually gone through it will tell you it's easy. There's also MANY emotions and feelings that come up through the process that make it very difficult to recall the tale. But...having gone through this process myself (down 85 lbs 11 years ago, kept it off while adding lean muscle every since), and coaching people through this process, I have seen man...

EP121: My 2-Step 1-Ton Weightloss Strategy
December 02, 2019 10:00 - 41 minutes - 37.9 MBI like to keep things simple as often as possible. When it comes to weight loss and fitness, it's really easy to over-complicate things very quickly. What I've found is the less people know what to do, the more they over-complicate it. This is normal because it's a byproduct of not knowing exactly what to do. An expert is an expert for a reason: they simply know what to do, when to change gears, how exactly to change them, etc. I've been able to simplify my process over the last 10 years ...
EP120: Spending vs. Investing In Your Health
November 12, 2019 10:00 - 39 minutes - 36.3 MBI've found over the years that most people will easily spend money on their health & fitness; however, they won't actually invest in it. They'll quickly spend money on products or cheap services that are low cost, with no real tangible value associated with it...but they won't invest in the areas that actually help them move forward and lose the weight, get into amazing shape and transform their lives. This behavior has often confused but I know now why people do it, and I break it down i...
EP119: What Workouts Should You Be Doing?
October 23, 2019 09:05 - 30 minutes - 27.8 MBEver wonder which exercises you should be doing to get the most effective, efficient, and POWERFUL weight loss results possible? Maybe you thought traditional cardio was the best method, or HIIT cardio, or CrossFIT, or Weightlifting, or Bootcamps. Truth is, there are a LOT of ways to achieve weight loss, but some ways work FAR better in terms of speed, long-term results, and consistency. In this episode, I dive deep into several methods of exercise and working out that provide a myriad of...
EP118: 3 Huge Myths of Building Muscle
October 14, 2019 17:15 - 33 minutes - 30.8 MBEver wonder how it is that people build muscle? This can be functional muscle for athletic purposes, your job, moving things around the house, etc. OR this can be "show muscle" like aesthetics for bodybuilding. Either way, there are some major misconceptions around what it takes to build muscle, and chances are that YOU believe some of these myths that I'm going to bust right here on this episode. I've seen many people (who previously believed these myths), be able to turn their mindset a...
EP117: Why I Quit 1-on-1 Personal Training
October 04, 2019 21:00 - 36 minutes - 33.8 MBWhy did I quit 1-on-1 in-person personal training? So many reasons! The truth is, 1-on-1 personal training is not what people think it is. This model exists to get people familiar with exercising the right way, and MAYBE providing a little extra motivation and positive energy. However, that is not enough to really get people results. There are far too many people that flounder with a personal trainer, paying the gym thousands of dollars, only to receive mediocre results AT BEST. What peo...
EP116: Do You Struggle with Motivation?
September 16, 2019 09:00 - 30 minutes - 27.9 MBDo you struggle to stay motivated? Or better yet, do you struggle to GET motivated in the first place? Getting motivated can be tough, I get it. Especially as a busy professional, entrepreneur, business owner, etc. However, there's a little secret that most people don't know. This little secret is the KEY to unlimited motivation. Want to know what it is? I break it down into hardcore detail here in this episode, go check it out now! Give this one a listen and make sure to let me know i...
EP115: Do You Struggle with Portion Control?
September 11, 2019 09:00 - 29 minutes - 27.5 MBDo you struggle with portion control? Do you find yourself eating more per meal than you probably should? If you're like most busy professionals and high performers, you're short on time, and you can't dedicate every second of the day to thinking about portions of food. As a result, you may sit down to eat and end up OVEREATING, without even thinking about it. The problem isn't really portion control...that's the good news! It's actually a mis-understanding of energy balance, which reall...
EP114: Do You Have Predictable Results In Your Weight Loss & Fitness?
September 05, 2019 09:00 - 39 minutes - 36.3 MBDo you have predictability in your fitness & weight loss? More specifically...are you able to predictably determine that your exact & specific actions that you perform today will give you an exact and specific outcome down the road? Most people don't have this, and as a result, they try everything and anything under the sun in order to lose weight and they ultimately struggle to get any results. In this episode, I explore this topic of what it takes to have predictability in your fitness,...
EP113: Will The Mind Body Academy Work For You?

EP112: The #1 Shift You Must Make to Build the Body of Your Dreams
August 05, 2019 09:00 - 27 minutes - 25.3 MBHave you ever looked at someone who's had tremendous success in fitness and health and wondered what is it about them that allows them to be so successful? Have you ever found yourself saying things like "man...that must be nice" or "that dude is so lucky to have a body like that" or "I wish I had her body". When we say and think things like this, it is usually followed up with thoughts of "I don't have what it takes" and "they must have some sort of genetic advantage". The reality is: no...
EP111: Do You Routinely Experience Yo-Yo Results with Diet and Exercise?
July 24, 2019 18:51 - 34 minutes - 31.7 MBA yo-yo diet is exactly what it sounds like... You go up, you go down, and then up again, and then down again. This can manifest in a lot of different ways, as well as in areas OTHER than dieting: 1) You gain weight/lose weight over and over again 2) You are motivated and then demotivated over and over again 3) You have energy and then no energy, over and over again 4) You consistently work out, then consistently DON'T work out, over and over again Do you experience any of these? ...
EP110: Client Interview with Pernell Waugh: A 180 Shift in Mindset & Health
July 17, 2019 09:01 - 1 hour - 56.9 MBIn this interview, I sit down with one of my current clients, Pernell Waugh. Pernell and I began working together when he was 10 years removed (and 100+ lbs heavier) from the last time he really spent any time working out or putting any emphasis on his health and fitness. To make matters worse, Pernell came to me following a major arm surgery, limiting his capabilities in the gym. Additionally, his knees were in such rough shape that even kneeling down was difficult and painful. Fast forw...
EP109: Is It As Simple as Just "Diet and Exercise"?
July 08, 2019 09:00 - 31 minutes - 29 MBDo you go through your days thinking weight loss, muscle development and transformation is as simple as just "diet and exercise"? Have you ever wondered why some people have the "will power" or "motivation" to achieve success in health and fitness, and others don't? I've got good news for you, in this episode I go over the validity of "diet and exercise" and what else can be stacked upon that to make sure success is yours for the taking, and yours for the keeping. Give this one a listen a...
EP108: Are You Trying to Target Weight Loss?
July 02, 2019 09:00 - 40 minutes - 36.7 MBAre you trying to target weight loss or fat loss in certain parts of your body? Do you find yourself doing more situps and crunches to try and target fat loss in your belly/mid section? Do you find yourself doing more arm exercises to try and get more toned/muscular arms? Do you do a million shoulder raises to try and get those defined, chiseled shoulders? In this episode, I dive into what works and what doesn't regarding melting body fat and excess weight in different parts of the body....
EP107: How She Lost ~40 LBs in 24 Weeks While Eating MORE FOOD!
June 18, 2019 20:49 - 54 minutes - 50.1 MBIn this episode, I sit down with one of my clients, Kathy Martineau.

You'll hear how her strategy was set up, what her mindset was like, and the emotions and feelings that went into her making this go from ...
EP106: Intermittent Fasting For Newbs - What, Why, When & How
June 14, 2019 09:00 - 27 minutes - 24.9 MBAre you familiar with Intermittent Fasting? Intermittent Fasting is an eating/nutrition strategy that involves eating ONLY during certain windows during the day, every day. The main idea is that during your 4-8 eating window, you may eat all of your meals for the day. Outside of that eating window, you can NOT eat, otherwise you violate the rules and defeat the purpose. In this episode, I go into MUCH more detail into how to apply this, why to do this, what the benefits are and when the ...
EP105: Are You Working Your Butt Off and Still Can't Make Progress?
May 27, 2019 13:44 - 28 minutes - 26.2 MBIf you have spent a TON of time in the gym or working out somewhere and you still haven't gotten the results you are after, it's probably because of a few small tweaks that are needed across these two areas: -How/why/when you train -How/why/when you eat Simple? Yes. Easy? No. It's very easy to SAY you know how to work out to make progress. But most people don't actually know how to do this. It's very easy to SAY you know how to eat properly to to make progress. But most people actually ...
EP104: Do You Think You Need To Lose Weight?
May 20, 2019 09:03 - 27 minutes - 25.5 MBDo you think you need to lose weight? When you think of health and fitness goals, are you constantly bringing your mindset back to this type of phrasing: "I need to lose weight", or "I need to lose 30 lbs" or "I need to lose that baby weight", or anything along those lines? Chances are, you're missing a critical piece of this, which is that you don't necessarily need to lose a tremendous amount of WEIGHT. What you really need to do is lose body fat, and replace some of that with lean body ...
EP103: What I Learned From Losing 80 LBs in 14 Months (Part 3 of 4)
May 10, 2019 09:05 - 29 minutes - 27.3 MBIn this episode, I dive into one of the biggest things I learned when I went through the process of building my body and losing 80 LBs over 14 months. This was the validity of one-size-fits-all programs. These would be programs found in magazines, online bodybuilding websites, or other publicly distributed platforms. While the intention of these programs is good, and can get you SOME results, they are seriously lacking some core things that will prevent you from ever reaching your potenti...
EP102: What I Learned from Losing 80 LBs in 14 Months (Part 4 of 4)
May 09, 2019 15:08 - 29 minutes - 26.6 MBWhat is the #1 tool you use to measure your progress in fitness? If you're like most people, you default to using a scale to weigh yourself, and you stop there. This is useful, obviously. We need to know our weight to tell if we are increasing or decreasing in overall body weight. HOWEVER, you can't stop there. Most people are experiencing lean body mass changes WHILE ALSO experiencing body fat changes. The results of combining these two things affects weight in different ways for differ...
EP101: What I Learned From Losing 80 LBs in 14 Months (Pt. 2 of 4)
April 29, 2019 09:30 - 49 minutes - 44.9 MBOver a 14-month span in 2008-2009, I lost 80 LBs and completely transformed my body and life. During this time I learned a LOT about what I am capable of, what it takes to succeed, and most of all I learned the ability to be humble about recognizing that I didn't previously know everything about health, nutrition and fitness (even though I thought I did). In this 4-part series, I am revealing the biggest lessons learned and ah-hah takeaways from my journey through an 80LB fat loss transfor...

EP99: What Does Your Headspace Look Like?
April 08, 2019 19:58 - 23 minutes - 21.8 MBWhat does your headspace look like? We all have LIMITED headspace at any given time. What you think about and what you choose to focus on is what occupies that headspace. Unfortunately, most of us aren't able to master our headspace 100% of the time, despite our efforts to do so. However, with enough practice and attention, we can invite WAY more thoughts, feelings, and emotions that promote progress, development and growth. I'm VERY stoked about this whole concept and idea, and how it p...
EP98: Fear is Holding You Back From Success
April 01, 2019 08:45 - 29 minutes - 27.3 MBIt's really easy to stay comfortable, we all know this. When life is predictable, and well understood, it's easy. Even if the circumstances aren't great. But when life is unpredictable, and not well understood, it provides the perception that it's hard and difficult. The reality is, though, that going into those situations that are unpredictable and not well understood is where ALL the growth and success happens, especially in health and fitness. Give this one a listen and make sure to l...
EP97: What's The Worst That Can Happen?
March 26, 2019 22:18 - 30 minutes - 27.8 MBListen up! You've got huge goals. You may want to lose weight, build muscle, get HEALTHIER, feel better, have more energy, have better sex with your partner, show up more powerfully and presently with your kids, and all these other amazing things... But, you're forgetting that all of this takes work. Not only does it take work, but it takes CONSISTENT work, on a repeated basis. Knowing that, you have a few options... you can either choose to put the right strategy/mindset/accountabil...
EP96: Do You Know Your Numbers?
March 18, 2019 08:30 - 26 minutes - 24.1 MBDo you know your numbers??? Specifically, the numbers around what is going on with your body. This means what all is going INTO your body, the numbers that describe how much you MOVE your body, the current STATE of your body, and the data that tells you whether you are moving towards or away from your goal. Very few people know their numbers, but I can promise you one thing: those that DO know their numbers get results. Why? Take a listen to this one as I break down how important the...
EP95: Why Building Muscle is The Most Effective Way to Burn Fat
March 12, 2019 01:47 - 32 minutes - 30.2 MBHave you spent your life thinking that cardio is the fastest way to lose weight and burn fat? Has your default way to burn calories always been to "go for a run", or "get in a bike ride"? In this episode, I dive deep into why this is NOT the best approach, and is actually DRAMATICALLY slower than some other methods, including building muscle. There's a lot of value in this episode, which provides a clear outline of how to burn the most fat possible and build the body of your dreams, alon...
EP94: The 3 Pillars of Success in Fitness and Health
March 04, 2019 20:02 - 39 minutes - 36.3 MBHave you ever wondered what it takes to have continuous success in health and fitness? You might think it's simple and straight forward: just workout and eat better. After all, it's that easy, right? Unfortunately, like most things, it's not that easy. If it were, everyone would be doing it. So what does it really take to be successful, especially over the LONG TERM? It takes 3 things, which we discuss in today's episode. Without these 3 things, it's possible to get SOME success, but I...
EP93: The 4 Phases of Transformation
February 25, 2019 10:00 - 36 minutes - 33.8 MBI've spent over 10 years obsessed with body transformation. At first I thought a body transformation was one that included a massive amount of fat loss and a restructuring of someones body composition (muscle, fat, definition, etc). Then I ultimately learned what real transformation was, and how 99% of what is behind a fitness/health/body transformation takes place INSIDE a person. In this episode, I go over what I consider to be the main 4 Phases of Transformation. These are what people ...

EP90: Overcoming Self Doubt
February 07, 2019 18:15 - 23 minutes - 21.5 MBDo you experience self doubt? Do you ever make so much progress towards something, and the further along you get, the harder it seems to get closer to the goal? Do you end up thinking WAY too much about what you're trying to achieve rather than actually take actions towards achieving it? Self doubt plagues us all, and it's what keeps most people from taking any action at all. When, in reality, if they had just put their head down and ignored the bullshit doubt in the back of their mind,...
EP89: Are You Eating Clean and Not Getting Results?
February 05, 2019 10:00 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MBDo you find yourself eating clean, whole and healthy foods but not getting anywhere with your fat loss and creating the body you want? This is extremely common, and one of the biggest pitfalls that people fall into. Ultimately, this tends to lead to things like: "This won't work for me" "I'll never be able to lose weight" "It's so hard, I don't get how fit people do it" The thing that I've found over the 11 years that I've been doing this is that there are typically 3 or 4 minor tweaks ...

In this episode, I explore both of these things and what is really needed to get results. Give this one a listen and make sure to let me know if it resonated with you. Pass this alo...
EP87: Situps & Crunches Will NOT Get You That 6-Pack
January 29, 2019 09:34 - 28 minutes - 26.3 MBHave you always wanted a 6-pack but have had NO luck cracking the code to getting one? The truth is, understanding the nutrition and muscle development semantics needed to build a 6-pack are simple, yet confusing. In general, there are 2 core components to building a 6-pack, and most people mess up one of these. But you NEED both, or it will never happen: 1) Low Body Fat Percentage 2) Abdominal Muscle Mass In this episode, I explore both of these things and what is really needed to ach...
EP86: Intentions and Outcomes
