  • Episode 66: Cutting Through the Noise of Diet Culture with Krysta Huber
    Mar 17 2026

    Are you crushing it at work and in your career, but constantly finding excuses for why your health and nutrition are falling behind? You aren't alone, and it might be time to stop "white-knuckling" your diet.

    In this episode, We are joined by Krysta Huber, a multifaceted coach who runs the nutrition brand The Fitness Fyx, the social media marketing agency The Spread, and hosts the No Such Thing podcast. Krysta breaks down why highly ambitious people struggle the most with health consistency, why we live in an "information rich but information poor" world, and why you need to earn the right to try extreme interventions like a 22-hour fast by mastering the basics first.

    The group also dives into the psychology of tracking small victories, how to stop identifying with your pain or excuses, and a hilarious debate on the elusive "runner's high."

    In This Episode, We Cover:

    • The Pitfalls of DIY Nutrition: Why creating restrictive, vacuum-sealed diet plans fails when real-life stress hits, and why the "I'll just cut carbs" mentality is outdated.
    • Information Rich, Information Poor: How social media and search algorithms feed us a tiny, curated slice of health information that keeps us stuck in a loop of trying complex solutions for simple problems.
    • Clocking the Wins: A neuroscience-backed daily habit of writing down compliments and small victories to completely reframe your mindset and build confidence.
    • Accountability for High Achievers: Why the standards you hold yourself to in your career should match the standards you hold for your physical health.
    • The "Runner's High" Debate: Krysta questions if the runner's high is real, while the guys explain the psychology of asserting your dominance after a brutal Sunday long run.

    Resources Mentioned:

    • Guest: Krysta Huber (The Fitness Fix, The Spread, No Such Thing podcast).
    • Concepts: Cell autophagy vs. mastering basics, the Information Paradox, "Clocking the Wins."

  • Episode 65: Radical Accountability: Why Your Rehab Outcomes Are Your Responsibility
    Mar 10 2026


    Have you ever had a patient fall off their rehab plan and thought, "Well, they just didn't do the work"? In this episode, Mike and Michael challenge that mindset. They dive deep into the concept of "Radical Accountability," explaining why a patient's failure to follow through is ultimately the clinician's failure to communicate and set clear expectations.
    Mike reflects on his four years of running a solo practice, discussing how his business mindset has evolved from blindly following advice to trusting his gut. The guys also break down the myth of the "6-8 week plan of care" pushed by traditional insurance models, and share a story about a retired golfer who was overcomplicating his routine with "neurological resets" when all he really needed was basic strength and plyometrics to get back on the course.
    In This Episode, We Cover:

    • Business Mindset: Mike shares his journey of learning to filter out business advice that feels "gross" and building a practice that aligns with his ethics.
    • Radical Accountability: Why you have to look at a patient's lack of consistency as a communication breakdown on your end.
    • Vetting Clients: Why turning away people who aren't a good fit is crucial for your sanity and their success.
    • The 6-Week Trap: Why traditional clinics prescribe 6-8 weeks of care (hint: it's what insurance covers, not what your body needs) and why true tendon healing takes 6-12 months.
    • Overcomplicating Rehab: The story of a golfer doing complex "mobility" work when he really just needed to jump around and build basic strength to walk 18 holes.

    Resources Mentioned:

    • Concepts: Radical Accountability, Tendon Healing Timelines, Play/Plyometrics for Aging Athletes.

  • Episode 64: The "Mom Test" & Why You Are Overcomplicating Your Running (with Dr. Abu)
    Mar 3 2026

    Are you overcomplicating your training and rehab? Whether it is stressing over your exact heart rate during a run or trying to jump straight into advanced plyometrics before you can comfortably walk, skipping the basics is the fastest way to stay injured.

    In this episode, We sit down with Dr. Abu, a chiropractor and coach at Evo Health and Performance in New Jersey. Abu shares his journey from being a 19-year-old fitness coach to a clinician who prioritizes simple, effective communication over complex medical jargon.

    The guys dive into the weeds on endurance training, discussing why the obsession with "Zone 2 optimization" might actually be holding you back, how to use Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) to auto-regulate your workouts, and why the best healthcare providers are just "Robin" to the patient's "Batman" .

    In This Episode, We Cover:

    • The "Mom Test": How Abu ensures his patients actually understand their rehab plans (if you can't explain it to your mom in one sentence, it's too complicated) .
    • The Problem with Zone 2 Optimization: Why recreational runners need to stop obsessing over their heart rate monitors and just focus on volume and consistency .
    • RPE vs. Smart Watches: How ditching the watch and training by feel (Rate of Perceived Exertion) builds better auto-regulation skills for race day .
    • Don't Skip the Basics: Why chronic pain is often the result of clinicians and patients skipping foundational steps to chase complex, "sexy" exercises .
    • The Batman and Robin Analogy: Why the patient is the hero of the story, and the clinician is just there to hand them the right tools .

    Resources Mentioned:

    • Guest: Dr. Abu Guerges, DC (Evo Health and Performance - Freehold, NJ).
    • Concepts: Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE), Zone 2 Training, Auto-regulation.
