    Why Pilates Won't Give You That Body (Women's Fitness Lies)

    To sign up for my coaching: https://calendly.com/obhealth/consulationTwo topics this episode, both aimed at women (guys, send this to your partner). First: why the Pilates instructor didn't get her body from Pilates, why "toning" is a myth, the osteoporosis stats nobody shows you, cycle syncing, and how the fitness industry preys on women. Then the updated truth about GLPs and Ozempic: the vicious cycle, the muscle loss nobody warns you about, and how to actually use one as a tool instead of renting your body forever.Want a coach who makes data-driven decisions instead of selling you fear?

    How to Actually Lose Weight With PCOS

    To sign up for my coaching: https://calendly.com/obhealth/consulationMarissa lost 90 pounds on her own, then spent years stuck on the last 20, convinced she already knew everything a coach would tell her. She's also a teacher with PCOS and insulin resistance. In this one she gets honest about why she finally hired help, why being told to eat MORE terrified her, the imposter syndrome that no amount of weight loss fixed, and how tracking macros became freedom instead of a prison. It's one of the most vulnerable conversations we've had.Want help breaking your own plateau?

    How a Night-Shift Nurse Lost 30 Pounds (and Won $5K)

    To sign up for my coaching: https://calendly.com/obhealth/consulationKevin is an ICU travel nurse who lost 30 pounds working three 12-hour night shifts a week, and he won our $5,000 challenge doing it. In this one we get into how he actually manages sleep and food around night shifts, why his results were 90% nutrition, the mental shift from a superficial why to training for "70-year-old Kevin," and a genuinely great breakdown of heart health from someone who sees the end of it every day. If you work an abnormal schedule and think you can't get in shape, this is the episode.Want a coach who builds around your actual schedule and data?

    Why "Just Listen to Your Body" Won't Get You in Shape

    To sign up for my coaching: https://calendly.com/obhealth/consulationI recently turned down someone who wanted to work with me, and I think a lot of people can learn from it. She got her dream body once without tracking anything, then got obsessed, got bulky, wrecked her gut health, and now wants to go back to "just listening to her body." This episode is about why that doesn't work, why your body tells you the symptoms but never the inputs, and why tracking your data is the privilege you earn, not the thing you skip. Plus the sourdough analogy that explains all of it, and my own eating disorder story.Want a coach who builds around your actual data instead of guessing?

    The Mental Side of Fat Loss No One Talks About

    To sign up for my coaching: https://ob-health.com/My guest Sam is a licensed therapist and a client at OB Health, which makes this one different. We get into the mental side of fat loss almost no one talks about: why you self-sabotage, why shame keeps you stuck in the all-or-nothing cycle, how to take imperfect action, and what it actually takes to trust yourself again. We also cover GLPs and muscle, why women are targeted in this space, the diets that leave lasting damage, and her own non-scale wins along the way.Ready to work on the mental side and the physical side together?
