    #112 - Parenting, Time Management, And Staying Fit Without Burning Out

    Most people think becoming a parent means putting your health on the back burner. We think that’s backwards. When you’ve got kids watching you, your habits stop being “personal” and start becoming the culture of your home. We talk candidly about the early parenting grind, why you need some grace, and why you still need a plan to keep moving even when your energy is gone and your schedule is wrecked. Then we go straight at the biggest modern time leak: screen time. If you “don’t have time” to train, we challenge you to look at your phone’s screen time breakdown and do the math. We share practical, realistic tactics to cut doom scrolling without pretending you can live like a monk, including app blockers, physical friction tools, and simple household rules that make it easier to be present with your kids. We also get into training during pregnancy and why context matters: your base fitness, smart scaling, and safe movement beat fear and outdated opinions. From there, we unpack why people fall off once they hit a goal or miss it. Unrealistic timelines, shallow motivation, and identity-based goals can all wreck consistency. Our answer is a foundation-first approach built around healthspan, metabolic health, strength training, and VO2 max, with performance goals as short, motivating seasons. If you want better confidence and discipline, build capability you can’t buy, inherit, or fake. If this hit a nerve, share it with a parent who needs it, subscribe for more, and leave a review.

    #111 GLP-1's, Saunas, and Cold Plunges Oh My!

    The Open ends and the emotional whiplash starts: you’re fired up, a few movements just exposed you, and you’re either ready to level up or ready to forget the whole thing until next year. We walk through what actually works after the CrossFit Open, including how to turn “I need to get better at that” into a realistic plan built on discipline, not a temporary motivation spike. We also get into the messy truth about skill work, especially ring muscle-ups, power-to-weight ratio, and why chasing advanced gymnastics without the right foundation is a fast track to frustration or a blown-up shoulder. Then we shift into the biohacking world: saunas, cold plunges, and why the trend cooled off when influencers moved on. The science didn’t disappear, but the marketing got reckless. We break down what we’ve personally found useful for recovery, sleep, blood pressure, nervous system regulation, HRV, and stress resilience, plus the myths we want dead forever like “detoxing” through sweat. You’ll also hear straightforward weekly protocols that normal people can follow without turning health into a second job. Finally, we tackle GLP-1 medications like Ozempic (semaglutide) and Mounjaro (tirzepatide). We’re not giving medical advice, but we are sharing what we’ve observed coaching people through it: the “wrong way” that leads to muscle loss, side effects, and rebound weight gain, and the “right way” that pairs strength training, high protein, smart calories, and proper medical oversight to improve metabolic health markers like A1C and fasting glucose. If you’ve been curious, skeptical, or quietly considering it, this conversation adds the nuance most headlines miss. Subscribe for more coach-level breakdowns, share this with a training partner, and leave a review if it helped. What did the Open expose for you this year, and what do you want us to dig into next?

    #110 What If Your Libido Is Your Body’s Dashboard Light

    We unpack the blunt claim “if you’re not horny, you’re not healthy” and turn it into a practical conversation about hormones, lifestyle, and what libido can and cannot tell you about your health. We share real-world examples from training, sleep, stress, alcohol, nutrition, and medications to help you spot red flags and make smart changes without panic.  • libido as a subjective signal rather than a diagnostic test  • why sex drive changes with age and what “normal” depends on  • a simple breakdown of the HPG axis plus LH and FSH  • processed food, excess body fat, and testosterone to estrogen conversion  • why modern testosterone may be declining across decades  • microplastics and endocrine disruptors plus big-rock mitigation steps  • sleep quality, cortisol, and why chronic stress crushes recovery  • alcohol, testosterone, and the reality behind “whiskey dick”  • metabolic syndrome markers and why bloodwork matters  • overtraining versus underrecovery and using libido as a personal cue  • how aerobic volume and low calories can backfire even on HRT  • blood pressure meds, low blood pressure, and a candid ED story  • cheat meals as a weekly math problem and defining what “cheat” means  • worst fitness advice we keep hearing and why it fails  • the one exercise we’d keep forever and the bodyweight backup pick  I’ll be putting out IG things for you guys to ask questions, submit whatever questions.

    The CrossFit Open, Competition Mindset, Ai and Health & Fitness, QA Instagram Questions

    Competition can make you better or it can mess with your head. We use the CrossFit Open as the springboard to talk about what’s really being tested when you put yourself on the clock: your fitness, your recovery, and the internal voice that wants to quit early. We share why we still respect the Open, why “you versus you” beats chasing a questionable worldwide leaderboard, and how ego and identity can turn a three week test into a season of stress if you’re not careful. Then we shift hard into AI in health and fitness, because it’s already changing how workouts, nutrition plans, and coaching content get made. We break down where AI actually helps (brainstorming, proofreading, data analysis, quick meal plan ideas, macro starting points) and where it falls flat (movement nuance, real time coaching, emotional intelligence, community, and culture). We also call out the darker side: deceptive influencer marketing, cookie cutter plans dressed up as “personal coaching,” and why discernment matters more now than ever. We close with a fast Q&A, including training frequency and recovery, simple nutrition guardrails, and a caveman-clear explanation of calorie deficits and why hidden calories are usually the culprit. If you want more of these topics or specific problems solved, tell us what you want to hear next, subscribe for what’s coming, and if this helped, share it and leave a review.

    Committed Club, HYROX Vegas, CrossFit Open + RTO Training (Plus a Big Mindset Message)

    Miss the weekly updates? We used the break to clear clutter, rebuild our studio, and sharpen a plan that actually moves you forward. This episode brings recognition, strategy, and a hard look at the small choices that add up—good and bad. We start by celebrating discipline you can see: the annual Committed Club and three new names on our 2,000 Visit Club. Those banners represent ten-plus years of showing up, proof that simple habits compounded over time beat hacks every time. We also fix a blind spot—missed check-ins. Sign up and check in so your work gets counted, our classes stay safe, and you show up on the lists you’ve earned. Then we dive into performance. As a HYROX affiliate, we tested a practical blend: regular CrossFit classes plus two to three targeted runs each week. The result? Better engines without abandoning strength. We share what worked, how to pace, and how to stack training with real-life schedules. That same blueprint now rolls into the CrossFit Open and the Reno Tahoe Odyssey. Expect running tracks in SugarWOD, a WhatsApp coaching group, and one-on-one planning for leg-specific demands like Dog Valley, Emerald Bay, and Kingsbury. Whether you’re aiming for a first Open score or prepping for an ultra relay, we’ll help you train with purpose. House rules matter too. Cubbies are day use; if you need storage, recovery room members can grab a locker so the shared space stays clean and usable. Curious about our Friday banger photos? There’s no secret list—wear the brand, move well, and bring either grit or joy. Want a specific shot for a milestone? Ask and we’ll bring the camera to your class. We close with a bigger lens: many people don’t quit on health in one move—they erode by a thousand paper cuts. One skipped workout, one extra drink, one late night at a time. Flip it. Build a thousand reps of discipline—hydrate early, eat real food, lift often, run honest, sleep hard. Surround yourself with people who pull you up. That’s how we avoid the midlife health cliff and keep building strength into our 40s, 50s, and 60s. If you’re ready to move with intention, jump into the Open, join the HYROX and RTO tracks, or book a one-on-one to map your week. Subscribe, share this with a teammate, and leave a review telling us the one habit you’re committing to this month. We’ll meet you there.

    Holiday Weight Gain Isn’t all Fat (Stop Panicking in January) | 2026 Reset

    New year energy is great, but the real edge is calm, repeatable action. We open 2026 with a straight talk on travel, training, and why you probably didn’t “gain 12 pounds of fat” last week. If you trained hard all year, a vacation can be strategic recovery—your tissues heal, your head clears, and you often return stronger. I share what I actually did on a family cruise: short, full-body sessions, over 10k steps a day, and a surprising shift toward nonalcoholic drinks despite buying the package. The goal wasn’t martyrdom; it was feeling good and coming home ready to train. We dig into the mechanics of water weight and why the scale spikes after flights, salty meals, humidity, and higher carbs. Glycogen and water retention can swing your weight fast, then normalize once you’re home, hydrated, and back in routine. The antidote to panic isn’t punishment. It’s a measured ramp: your normal training times, sensible loads, and one to two weeks of easing back so you avoid injury and reignite momentum. For travelers, we outline simple protocols—10 to 20 minute conditioning pieces, dumbbell push-pull-leg splits, and density sets that work in any hotel. Want more structure? Snap a photo of the hotel gym and we’ll write you a week that fits the gear and your schedule. We also explain why we don’t run January cash-grab challenges. Short sprints rarely become a lifestyle. Instead, we coach habit stacking that holds: three gym sessions a week, daily 10k steps, weighed protein, better sleep, then layered progress as the basics feel automatic. If alcohol or added sugar is derailing recovery, we offer practical ways to reduce the drag without killing your joy. And for an honest baseline, we’re asking every member to get an InBody scan this month so we can adjust with real data, not emotions. If you’re ready to trade “new year, new you” for steady you, this one’s for you. Listen, subscribe, share it with a friend who travels for work, and drop a review telling us the one habit you’ll lock in for the next 90 days.

    Week of December 29th – Closing Out the Year Strong

    Resolutions feel great for a week, but momentum comes from something quieter: simple systems you can repeat even when life gets messy. I’m closing the year with a candid look at how to turn big goals into small, non-negotiable actions, why time audits beat motivation hacks, and how to set timelines that match real human progress instead of social media promises. We start by reframing the whole New Year energy. Instead of chasing a perfect 30-day streak, I walk through the habit-stacking approach that actually sticks: pick one behavior you can win every week, protect it on your calendar, then layer the next. You’ll hear practical examples—three training days you truly keep, a weekly prep window, a simple breakfast plan—that create sustainable fitness, better recovery, and less mental churn. I also break down how class signups and capacity caps protect safety and coaching quality. When a session includes barbells and gymnastics, planning matters. Respecting the system isn’t red tape; it’s how everyone gets a solid, safe workout. I share my own goals for the new year too: making myself more available to our community through a streamlined calendar and WhatsApp, building consistent media and newsletter systems, and investing deeper in coaching development now that we’re all under one roof. On the training front, we map the next block: a five-to-six week focus on the clean and jerk and the bar muscle-up, with progressions that meet you where you are—mobility, stability, strength, and skill practice baked into smart conditioning. Expect approachable GPP now, Sweat sessions returning January 5, and a push toward meaningful skill milestones without sacrificing joint health. If you’re ready to trade willpower spikes for winning systems, this one’s your playbook. Subscribe, share it with a friend who needs a reset that lasts, and leave a quick review to help more people find the show. Then tell me: what’s the first non-negotiable you’re putting on your calendar? Follow us on Instagram here! https://www.instagram.com/doubleedgefitness/
