Can you really outwork a bad diet—and what does faith have to do with nutrition? In this episode of Raising Rebels, host Joe sits down with Chris Beottcher, a 10-time Ironman, physical therapist, father of four, and health coach, to break down what actually moves the needle for energy, fat loss, testosterone, and long-term health.

They unpack why nutrition matters more than endless workouts, how blood sugar drives cravings and chronic disease, and why protein, muscle, sunlight, and simple habits can radically change your life. The conversation goes deeper than fitness, connecting health, discipline, and spiritual warfare—and why strong men are essential for strong families and culture.

If you’re tired of spinning your wheels with diets, workouts, and late-night cravings, this episode gives you a sustainable, faith-centered framework to reclaim your health and lead well.
