  • Ep.23 - The Truth about Salt: Why everything you’ve heard about Salt might be wrong
    Jun 19 2025

    Is salt really the enemy—or have we been misled all along?

    In this eye-opening episode, I dive deep into the powerful insights I uncovered after reading The Salt Fix by cardiovascular research specialist Dr. James DiNicolantonio. From debunking the myth that salt is the root of chronic disease to exploring how modern food and beverage industries have villainized salt while quietly pumping us full of sugar, this episode will challenge everything you think you know about sodium.

    I break down the real science behind salt, how your body uses it daily, the surprising symptoms of salt deficiency, and why your performance, sleep, recovery, and even mood could be suffering from a lack of it. I also share my personal experience swapping out energy drinks for mineral-rich natural salts and how it’s impacted my training and energy levels.

  • Ep.21 - Functional Strength - How to Train for Life, not just the Gym
    Jun 5 2025

    What is functional strength - and how is it different from regular strength training? In this deep-dive episode, I break down the science and real-world application of training not just for aesthetics or performance, but for longevity and everyday resilience.

    I explore how functional strength supports your body in real life...picking up kids, getting off the floor, carrying groceries, or preventing injury, and why building it starts with the internal stuff: your joints, soft tissue, and nervous system.

    You’ll learn how functional strength blends with mobility training, how to prep your body for sustainable strength, and why compensations from poor movement patterns are silently holding you back. We also explore the Centenarian Decathlon, Dr. Peter Attia’s powerful longevity framework, and how to start training today for the life you want at 80, 90, and beyond.

    Whether you’re an athlete, a busy professional, or just trying to feel better in your body—this episode will shift how you think about training.

    May 22 2025

  • Ep.18 - Stop overcomplicating it...just move
    May 15 2025

    In this episode, I'm cutting through the noise and reminding you of a simple truth: you don’t need the perfect plan, you just need to move.

    If you’ve ever delayed a workout because you didn’t have the right playlist, the perfect program, or a full 60 minutes to train, this one’s for you. I break down why overcomplicating your fitness is doing more harm than good, and how keeping it simple, bodyweight, a resistance band, or just walking, can change everything.

    Whether you’re a high-performer or just getting started, this episode is a much-needed reset. It’s your reminder that progress doesn’t come from perfect, it comes from showing up, moving with intention, and doing the work even when conditions aren’t ideal.

    If this episode helped shift your mindset, please take a second to like, subscribe, and share it with someone who needs that same nudge.

  • Ep.17 - Self-Doubt vs Self-Belief - Crush the voice that says you can’t
    May 8 2025

    At the Precision Games this weekend, I saw firsthand how powerful the battle between self-doubt and self-belief really is. In this episode, we talk about that voice in your head; the one that tries to stop you before you even start, and how to shut it down. From nervous pacing to game-time adrenaline, I break down why belief matters more than hype, how to keep self-doubt in check, and why even seasoned athletes still have to win that mental fight.

  • Ep.16 - Burning Fat vs. Losing Weight: Why they’re not the same (...and what actually works)
    May 1 2025

    In this eye-opening episode of The Peak Potential Unleashed Podcast, I'm breaking down a massive fitness myth: burning fat and losing weight are not the same thing.

    If you’ve been chasing the number on the scale without understanding what’s really happening inside your body, you could be sabotaging your long-term progress. Today, you’ll learn the critical difference between fat loss and weight loss, the science behind body composition changes, and why relying on the scale alone can seriously mislead you.

    I cover:

    • Why you can lose weight but not lose fat (and vice versa)
    • How bodyweight naturally fluctuates, and why it’s normal
    • How fat is actually burned in the body, according to research
    • Signs you’re burning fat versus signs you’re losing water or muscle
    • Why starving yourself and overtraining are the wrong answers
    • Sustainable, effective strategies to lose fat the right way, without wrecking your body or mindset

    If you want to reshape your body, boost your performance, and finally get real results without obsessing over the scale, this episode is a must-listen.
