The Luke Smith Nutrition Podcast ·

2025/08/06

A lot of people say they’re “doing everything right” with their health and fitness… but if you looked at their actual week, it’d probably tell a different story.In this episode, we talk about the gap between what you think you’re doing and what’s actually happening, why it’s so easy to fool yourself, and how to get honest so you can actually make progress again.This applies to all things in life, but health and fitness is where that disconnect tends to slap you in the face first.Where to find me:
