Hey Flex Fam!
In today’s episode, we’re excited to welcome a special guest, Ben Neill , a highly sought-after performance coach based in Atlanta, who specializes in personalized nutrition and exercise plans for clients ranging from teenagers to elite athletes and high-performance CEOs.
We dive deep into:
✅ Ben’s journey from being 75 lbs overweight to becoming a respected coach.
✅ The harsh realities of unsustainable diets (like his 5-year strict keto experiment) and why sustainability matters most.
✅ How the health and fitness industry often fails people by prioritizing results over mental well-being.
✅ Why mindset is key to lasting health transformations.
✅ His powerful 80/20 principle for balanced, guilt-free nutrition.
✅ The importance of finding joy in the process, not just chasing outcomes.
Ben’s straightforward, no-fluff approach to fitness and nutrition aligns perfectly with our philosophy on sustainability and mindset. Plus, he’s dropping some golden nuggets that you can apply today for a healthier and happier life.
Ben’s approach will make you rethink your relationship with food, your mindset about fitness, and how you define true health.
