The Anti-Macro Podcast ·

2024/03/06

Recently, ANOTHER Netflix documentary came out touting the benefits of a plant-based diet. But is a plant-based diet truly superior to an omnivore diet? Should you be cutting out animal meats and other products to pursue a healthier life? In this episode, I aim to separate fact from entertainment and fear mongering, explore the environmental impact of food production as well as the socioeconomic factors of dietary preferences, and provide you adequate guidance on determining whether or not a

Today I’m bringing on a colleague and friend, Drew Schempp. Drew and I have both been in the CrossFit space for some time, but we didn’t cross paths until more recently when we started coaching at a strength and conditioning gym here in California called Performance360. As two people who have both had experience with fitness for much of our lives and have also had extensive careers within the fitness realm, we have a lot of insights on training through the ages.

This is going to be the last episode of 2023 because I’m gearing up to travel to the east coast to see my family and take some time off while I do that. This time of year in the fitness industry is always pretty predictable. Once we get into the school year business generally takes a dip but that dip really picks up the closer we get to the holidays. Then all the gyms and coaches and etcetera are gearing up for a big rise in interest once the New Year hits because “New Year New Me” resolutions are

Ep. 49: How To Become a Morning Person

2023/11/30

I got a question in my DMs the other week from someone asking me for tips on how to become more of a morning person and I felt like this would make a great podcast episode. I consider myself to be a morning person and I’ve always been that way. My current routine has me waking up at 5:15am and going to the gym at 6am, and I genuinely prefer it. I don’t think that I’m a superior being because I am a morning person which does seem to be a message that’s spread. We are all living the same 24 hours in

I talk a lot about stress and how stress can impact your overall health and there’s a good reason why. I speak from experience when I talk about stress and its impacts. I have spent majority of my life normalizing stress, so I never felt there was anything wrong with living a high stress life. I also didn't realize that my excessive exercise, constant calorie deficit, and caffeine consumption among other bad behaviors were stressors that my body was responding to. Some of the symptoms that

2023/10/18

The primary tool that I use to teach my clients how much to eat to achieve specific goals is the Hand Portion Method. Today on the podcast I'm breaking down some common misconceptions about this method to clear the air and help you better understand this methodology. MISCONCEPTION 1: The HPM is the same thing as macro tracking. MISCONCEPTION 2: A hand portion size is a serving size. MISCONCEPTION 3: You can't use this method to achieve specific goals.

I’ve been on my fitness journey since I was probably about thirteen when I started taking spin classes so you can say I’ve been on this journey for almost two decades. That’s a long ass time. I’ve learned a lot along the way but I’ve also made mistakes. I’ve also been coaching in this space for almost a decade as mainly a group fitness instructor but at times I was a personal trainer and then of course I’m an online coach now, so I’ve seen a lot of the same mistakes I made being made by those I talk

If you’ve ever struggled with consistency in your health and fitness journey, this one is for you. There’s a variety of reasons why you may lose your stride - it could be due to your schedule being jam-packed, you’re going through a period of high stress, you’re losing motivation, or something of the sort.

In case you missed it, I spent about 17 months rehabbing chronic back pain with the help of my coach, David Sluss. Back in November of 2022, I brought David on the podcast to talk about our personal journeys with back pain and some lessons learned along the way and this has been the most popular episode on the podcast to date. I think a huge reason why is because back pain is almost universal. Sadly it’s one of the most commonly cited pains I hear about in the fitness space yet because it’s so

On my coaching application, I ask what are your goals. Oftentimes what I see is, “I want to lose 5-10lbs”. It’s always this magic number, this magic range of 5-10lbs. What I know you’re thinking is, “If I just lose these 5-10lbs I’ll be so much happier in my body,” but I want to talk about why that is not entirely the case. Your desire to lose weight is valid and I am in no way saying that I do not take that goal seriously. I do truly understand that you are unhappy in your skin and you feel
