In this episode, I sit down with my long-time client Jeff Rodgers, who has completely transformed his life and body over the past four years.
Jeff shares his story of going from 353 pounds and intimidated by the gym — to losing over 130 pounds, running a half marathon, and eventually building strength, confidence, and muscle through sustainable habits.
You'll hear:
• How Jeff lost over 100 pounds without giving up his favorite foods
• The mindset shift that helped him overcome gym intimidation and stay consistent
• Why calorie cycling and flexibility made healthy eating finally click
• How strength training reshaped his body and boosted his energy
• What he’s learned about balance, travel, and staying on track long-term
This is a must-listen for anyone who’s ever struggled with weight loss, motivation, or feeling out of place in the gym! Jeff’s story is a powerful example that no matter how busy life gets, you can build a lifestyle that works — and sustain it for good.
