On today's episode, Justin joined Michelle and I for a round table chat about how clients are making it through this pandemic.
We have give you lots of input on this global crisis and ensuing quarantine, but we wanted to shed light on how clients are making it through it.
We discuss different strategies we have implemented to help them not only just survive this time, but also thrive.
One of those is creating structure in your day. Tips and tricks to do that as well as client "wins".
For some clients, Maintenance is goal. For others, fat loss is still the goal, and either way is okay, as long as you are diligent in that plan!

On today's episode we had none other than my very own doctor and good friend, Vaughn Johnson on the podcast.
There is nothing like a very well qualified doctors input on the Coronavirus, hormones and nutrition.
The first third of the episode was spent on his thoughts on Covid-19. Ways to keep safe and supplementation that could help boost your immune system during such a vulnerable time.
The next third was spent on hormones. Why we are seeing drops in levels at a younger age compared to 50 years ago. Different warning signs of hormone deficiency as well what to ask your doctor to test for when you get a hormone panel check. His message of treating people and not labs was something that was really profound.
The last part of this amazing episode was spend on how nutrition ties into hormones. How important it is to eat real food and the direct correlation it has to hormones.
Enjoy this episode!

We talked about finding gratitude in this whole pandemic as well as using this extra time at home, alone a lot, to grow as a human being.
We talked about if being in a calorie deficit is productive at this very moment and we also gave a few hacks for different ways to make sure to have a great day as well!
Those included:
I think it's really important during such a challenging time to remember to accept, adapt and learn.

On today's episode we had the man himself, Noah Kingery aka The Transformation Truth on Instagram.
Noah has been on The Key Nutrition Podcast two times before. If you haven't checked out those episode, I encourage you do so.
We got deep and passionate about recovery from both drug addiction and food addiction.
We compared the two addictions and saw just how powerful food truly can be.
Noah himself has lost 190lbs, two different times, so his insight was extremely powerful and impactful.
We got deep about gratitude and how it's the fuel for life. We talked about practical tools of recovery from any addiction as well as solutions to help you live a more fulfilled life.
Be sure to give Noah a follow as well as check out his podcast!

On today's episode, Michelle and I aimed to shed a little humor on your life! We talked about the craziest home workout videos that we have seen circulating the internet! That led into us talking about the craziest fitness/diet trends of all time! Some of that list included the following:
Shake weight - In 2009 a 2.5 lb piece of plastic shit made it's way to the market. The infomercial went viral and cashed in OVER 40 MILLION bucks in sales. As I typed that I dry heaved in my mouth a little.
Shape ups - Apparently sketchers was lying when they made claims that their shoes would help people lose weight, and strengthen and tone their glutes, legs and ab's. 40 million dollar lawsuit settlement later we found out that is not after all how Kim K got her booty. Lies, it was all lies.
HCG diet - Remember when there was a clinic on every block a decade ago? 500 calories sounds like a snack to me, but was unfortunately the whole days worth of eating. The amount of metabolism that were put to rest during this phase is actually something that upsets me more than anything else on this list. So glad this shit is a thing of the past.
Gazelle Glider - This thing literally had almost zero resistance. You just swing around like an idiot for 2 easy payments of 149.99. The only thing that I do miss about seeing this ad was Tony Little's hair. That shit was sick. Get a tramp or a swing set instead. At least your kids can enjoy it too.
Slim Fast - The biggest gangster of them all. Essentially was just flavored milk. Replace a meal with one of those and of course you might lost weight. LOL the fact these still sell a lot is the greatest arbitrage of all time.
The Neck Slimmer - If you don't know what this is, stop reading, and google it. And the videos associated with it. I cant stop laughing that this was a thing. Looks the blowjob Olympics to me. Sorry, there is just no other way to put that.
Total Gym - This is the most functional out of all this BS, but still non the less, BS. Him and Suzanne summers made a KILLING off a bunch of people getting tricked into doing palates. Mad respect for Chuck Norris though, mostly because of the old "Chuck Norris" jokes.
The Cabbage Soup Diet - The cabbage soup diet is the original gangster of fad diet. For 7 days you eat nothing but homemade cabbage soup for every meal. You you get one piece of fruit a day. On day 5 u get a "small" serving of beef.
Hope you all enjoy the episode and remember to still laugh during these crazy times! Love you all!

On this week's episode of The Coaches Spotlight, we spotlighted The Key Nutrition Podcast's Host Brad Jensen.
Brad's Bio
My passion for the fitness industry has been engrained into my life since I was 14 years old. The minute I picked up my first fitness and nutrition magazine I knew that it was what I was born to do. I became NASM and ACE certified so I could understand all parts of fitness and nutrition. I wanted to absorb as much as I could to feel my best and also share my passion with others. This passion lifted me from my darkest times and helped me overcome years of addiction, which resulted in my sobriety. Fitness to me isn't just about physical appearance. Fitness is a lifestyle that is constantly evolving. I knew that I needed to build a place where I could educate others on how to live healthy lives. No quick fixes, no fad diets…. just honest accountability, hard work, and real results that last. I opened the doors to Key Nutrition in March 2017 and have never looked back. I truly want my clients and my team to live healthy lives and understand how food and fitness can change your life for the better. We get one life and I want everyone to live their best. I am not only a fitness addict, I am also a husband to my beautiful and loving wife Kelly and together we have two fur babies (champ and chief) who we love to spend time outdoors with as well.

About Cassidy
My journey with health and fitness started at the young age of 5 when my mom enrolled me in gymnastics to get rid of some of my energy. I excelled in the sport and competed until I was 16 before I transitioned into more of a globo gym rat. I worked with personal trainers and participated in all sorts of group classes but didn't find something I really loved until I stumbled upon CrossFit in 2012. From there, my gymnastics roots and competitive side found a whole new world and I fell in love! I worked my butt off and was able to qualify and compete at 6 CrossFit South Regionals as an individual and with a team and 2 years at the CrossFit Games with my team SLC Gold. During that time, I also dabbled in Olympic Weightlifting and became a National Champion in the 69kg weight class in 2014.
My fitness and health journey left me with a unique outlook on self image and I love helping women become empowered through their strength and strong bodies through my experience and story.
I became a nutrition coach in 2016 after my coach at the time (Jason Phillips) changed my life and helped me recover from some under eating and overtraining as an athlete. I've since then transitioned into the Director of Mentorship for Nutritional Coaching Institute and have the amazing opportunity to coach coaches in the nutrition space!
My husband and I own one of the first CrossFit gyms in Utah, Salt Lake City CrossFit, and we are passionate about helping others make health and fitness a priority in their lives at whatever level is possible.
I'm obsessed with my dogs, coffee, and love camping and being outside in the beautiful mountains!
