  • UPDATED WEEKLY

Elevated Life walks alongside the internally driven individual through real wellness and transformation. We're Johnna and Clint, a couple who've done the work and are still doing it, cutting through the noise with honest, unfiltered conversations about wellness, movement, mindset, spiritual growth, and personal responsibility. Our framework: Wellness is the foundation. Movement is the tool. Mindset is the driver. Personal responsibility is the container. Lived experience is the proof. We don't coddle, we don't sell false promises, and we don't trade in empty motivation. We share raw personal stories and practical tools for people ready to do the actual work, from nervous system regulation to attachment theory, from nutrition protocols to shadow work, from resistance training to authentic transformation. This is a real talk wellness podcast for people tired of quick fixes, surface-level motivation, and the comfortable hell of staying stuck. If you've been searching for a holistic wellness podcast that actually tells the truth about fitness, healing, and what mindset transformation really costs, you're in the right place. What we talk about: Personal growth, emotional fitness, gym confidence for beginners, masculine wellness, feminine energy, spiritual awakening, self-improvement through radical accountability, weight loss without gimmicks, couples who transform together, breaking free from limiting beliefs, inner child work, and building a life you don't need to escape from. We dig into attachment styles, especially fearful avoidant attachment, and how understanding your patterns changes everything. We explore what real wellness looks like when you strip away the industry noise and get honest about what's holding you back. Our story: We've walked through our own transformations, significant weight loss journeys, recovery work, nervous system healing, spiritual consciousness shifts, and complete life overhauls. We don't teach from a textbook. We teach from the trenches. Every tool we share is something we've tested on ourselves first. Clint's journey through masculine identity and physical transformation and Johnna's deep dive into spiritual awakening, energy work, and emotional healing give this podcast a perspective you won't find anywhere else because we're living it in real time. Who this is for: If you're internally driven and ready to stop making excuses, this is your show. If you've tried every quick fix and you're finally ready to address the real stuff, the mindset, the nervous system, the patterns you keep repeating, we're here to walk alongside you. We don't build dependency. We build people up to not need us anymore. That's the difference between what we do and what the wellness industry sells you. Whether you're looking for wellness for men, personal growth for couples, a no-BS fitness and movement podcast, or deeper work around shadow work and healing, we bring it all without sugarcoating it. Topics include: holistic health, real transformation, mindset shifts, personal responsibility, movement and mobility, spiritual growth, attachment theory, emotional regulation, masculine and feminine energy, gym ready tips, wellness without the BS, accountability, authentic living, and life transformation advice. New episodes twice weekly from Elevated Fitness and Mobility in Tonasket, Washington. It's time to stop surviving and start transforming.

    Feminine Rage and Missing Masculine - What the Epstein Files Reveal About All of Us

    The Epstein files dropped and the feminine rage is real. But where's the divine masculine? We're diving into why nothing will probably change, what happens when emotion drives everything without logic to ground it, and the uncomfortable truth about how we're all being played. This isn't our usual episode. This is raw, unfiltered processing of what it means when the evidence finally surfaces and most people still won't see it. What we get into: Why the system isn't broken—it's working exactly as designed to keep us at the perfect boiling point without ever boiling overThe slow desensitization from Me Too to COVID that prepared society to handle this without completely losing our collective shitWhere the feminine rage is coming from—mothers of the planet are done being poo-pooed, silenced, and told we're just hysterical about baby tortureWhy rage without structure becomes sporadic emotion that loses focus—feminine leads with intuition but needs masculine as the rockWhat happens when the divine masculine disappears into the woods and says "f**k this, I'm out" instead of providing the support structureThe only real solution when you're a pawn on a chessboard controlled by parasites—turn inward, rage dance if you need to, then work on yourselfWe're walking through why Trump saying "let's move past this and focus on healthcare" is infuriating, why Johnna had to mosh pit to Rage Against the Machine to move the stagnant energy, and what divine masculine and feminine actually mean (hint: it's not beer chugging or making turkey pot pies). The uncomfortable reality? The masses won't care next week. But for those who do—the path forward requires both feminine intuition and masculine structure united, or nothing changes.

    We Tried Retatrutide for 12 Weeks - Here's What Actually Happened

    We just finished a 12-week retatrutide cycle and we're telling you everything—the weight loss, the side effects, why Johnna stopped early, and the honest truth about GLP-1s that nobody's saying. This isn't advice. This is what happened when we became our own guinea pigs with a peptide that everyone's talking about but few people truly understand. What we get into: What retatrutide actually is and why we spent a year researching before trying it—from Dr. Tyna's microdosing protocol to Jay Campbell's self-experimentation approachThe microdosing strategy—0.5 three times weekly instead of full dose once (and why this avoids severe cramping and nausea most people experience)Clint's results: 28 pounds lost, constant fullness, minimal side effects, but 10 pounds returned post-cycle without strength lossJohnna's experience: 12 pounds down, week-five lightheadedness, stopping at week eight because appetite suppression felt too close to metabolic starvationWhy resistance training is non-negotiable—without it you'll lose muscle (your most metabolically expensive tissue) and replace it with fat when appetite returnsThe hard truth nobody tells you: it's an appetite suppressant, and without lifestyle change you're headed for quick fix to quick failureWe're walking through why this could work for someone in metabolic crisis ready to make real changes, why it becomes an easy crutch without intentionality, and how advanced lifters might use it strategically during cuts. But here's what you need to know: retatrutide without changing your relationship with food and building muscle? You're just delaying the inevitable crash. Want more tools for your transformation?

    From Snake Energy to Fire Horse — Are You Ready?

    We're coming out of a year that asked people to slow down, shed, and let things die. Now we're stepping into a year that has zero patience for hesitation. The fire horse doesn't ask if you're ready — it amplifies who you already are. What we get into: What snake energy actually looked like in 2025 — the shedding, the death of old identities, and the discomfort nobody could quite nameThe personal transformation work we each had to face — Clint's and Johnna's patterns that surfaced when they thought they were already "done"What fire horse energy brings and what it demands from you before it'll cooperateThe difference between riding momentum and getting dragged behind it — and which one depends entirely on whether you did last year's workWhy this is the year to start your gym journey, your healing work, or whatever you've been putting off — if the foundation is thereWe're walking through what these energetic shifts actually mean for your real life, your mindset, your body, and your excuses. This isn't astrology content — it's a conversation about patterns, personal responsibility, and what happens when the universe stops being patient with your comfortable hell.

    What REBUILT Is (and Isn't) — Real Transformation, Not Quick Fixes

    We're pulling back the curtain on REBUILT — our program that's been rebuilt multiple times to cut through the noise and give you what actually works. This isn't a beach body program, a 12-week challenge, or your next dopamine hit. It's the foundation for the rest of your life. What we get into: Why we stripped REBUILT down and rebuilt it again — what we kept, what we cut, and what drove that decisionThe difference between the men's and women's versions — and why those differences matter more than most programs acknowledgeThe four pillars and which one people always try to skip (it's not the one you'd guess)Why strength training is the entry point to everything else — and what happens when you actually commit to five or six days a weekWhat people are secretly hoping a program will save them from — and why REBUILT isn't built for that personWe're walking through what this program demands, who it's actually for, and why the boring repetitive stuff is the whole point. If you're looking for motivation and quick fixes, this isn't it. If you're ready to take personal responsibility and build something that lasts, that's the conversation we're having.

    Trust Yourself First — Real Transformation Starts Within

    Why do we keep looking for saviors instead of trusting ourselves? From fitness influencers to manifestation coaches to wellness practitioners, we've been conditioned since childhood to believe someone else has our answers. This episode challenges that pattern head on. What we get into: How we're taught from a young age not to trust ourselves — and what that quietly sets up for the rest of our livesThe red flags that someone is crossing from guidance into guru territory — and the specific language that gives it awayWhy absolutes in the wellness industry are almost always a warning sign worth paying attention toWhat real guidance actually looks like versus what keeps you dependent and coming back for moreThe honest questions worth asking yourself before you hand your power to the next expert, coach, or healerWhy our goal as trainers has never been client retention — and what we're actually trying to build insteadWe're digging into the difference between helpful guidance and cult-like dependency, why the wellness industry profits from keeping you searching outside yourself, and what it actually looks like to start building the muscle of self-trust. If you've been bouncing from healer to coach to guru looking for your answer, this conversation is about personal responsibility and what happens when you finally look inward.

    Love Creates Love - Choosing Peace Over the Chaos of Hate

    We keep believing that violence will end violence and hate will end hate. It never has and it never will—it only multiplies on itself. As humans, we've already run this experiment over and over. Different eras, different flags, same outcome. At some point, ignorance stops being an excuse. We say we want peace, unity, and love. But when fear gets activated, we start to blame, punish, dominate, and force. And then we act surprised when the world fractures further. What we get into: Why we still think that participating in hate will somehow produce love—and the hard truth that you cannot create a future using the same energy that destroyed the pastHow labeling everyone else as the problem avoids looking at your own patterns—"I love everyone, but I f*****g hate you because you voted for [whoever]" is not loveThe parasite feeding cycle—when you respond with hate to hate, you're not just feeding the parasite, you ARE the parasiteWhy violence doesn't resolve conflict—it suppresses it temporarily, then hands it to the next generation even strongerThe questions to ask yourself before reacting: Why am I doing this? Will what I'm about to say bring better circumstances? Where in my life am I feeding the very energy I claim to be against?How to actually participate in society without falling into the swamp—understanding your positions from within (not because someone else is wrong), articulating them with compassion, and receiving anger with loveWe're walking through why humanity can't see this pattern (or won't see it), how emotional immaturity shows up as "I'll only love you if you agree with me," and why the best way to kill the parasite is to cut off the food source. This isn't about sides—if you're participating in hate on either side, you're part of the problem. Love creates love. It's that simple. And it's also that hard.

    The Practical Side of Lifting Heavy - Five Days a Week and Fixing My Relationship with Food

    The Practical Side of Lifting Heavy - Five Days a Week and Fixing My Relationship with Food Description: This is the follow-up to Johnna's 35-year anorexia story—the practical side everyone's been asking about. How did she actually program her workouts when she went all-in five days a week? What does eating look like now after decades of restriction and bingeing? Is she nervous about gaining the weight back? And what unexpected areas of life improved that had nothing to do with the scale? What we get into: How Johnna learned to lift from the Mind Pump podcast—full body compound lifts, progressive overload, and why she stuck to the basics for years instead of jumping aroundWhy she probably overtrained at first but it worked because her nutrition matched the intensity and she wasn't laid-out sore every sessionThe protein target debate—one gram per pound of goal weight sounds great until your liver can't handle it and your digestion is wrecked (body awareness over blanket rules)Johnna's actual 80/20 split—which is really more like 90/10 because she doesn't like feeling like shit, bloated, or brain-fogged anymoreWhy she doesn't track macros and never will—her goal was healing her metabolism, not competing in a body composition challengeThe unexpected wins—shopping off the rack without thinking "what will cover my fat rolls," better mobility than she thought possible, and actually presenting herself differently because insecurity doesn't live in her body the same way anymoreWe're walking through the balance between learning new lifts versus sticking to the basics (spoiler: stick to the basics and get really good at them), why cheat meals are b******t when you're first starting, and the lifelong battle with body dysmorphia even after the transformation. This is what it actually looks like to do the work—not just the highlight reel. Want more tools for your transformation?

    My 35-Year Battle with Anorexia, Yo-Yo Dieting, and How Lifting Weights Finally Fixed My Metabolism

    Episode 86: My 35-Year Battle with Anorexia, Yo-Yo Dieting, and How Lifting Weights Finally Fixed My Broken Metabolism Description: Skinny talk is trending on social media—Gen Z's rebranded version of anorexia—and it's triggering as hell. Young women in their early 20s are promoting severe calorie restriction, telling everyone to avoid lifting weights because it "adds mass," chasing that emaciated 90s heroin chic look. And Johnna has a lot to say about this because she lived it for 35 years. This is her full story, start to finish, for the first time ever—because she'd never even put it all together herself until now.
