29 JAN 2025 · I went cliché to describe my approach with training and nutrition clients listing 5 ways I operate in assisting with the whole lifestyle change process. If you ever choose to work with me, you’ll know what to expect. I am very grateful to have been doing this for over 7 years.
Empathy – Asking someone for help isn’t easy. Therefore, the absolute most important way to respond to someone seeking guidance is through empathy. I do not speak to clients from a pedestal or in any sort of demeaning, insulting drill-sergeant fashion. I will listen attentively, understand their past, and assure them that their struggles are likely shared by many, including myself. I will proceed to inform them of all the incredibly stupid things I’ve done and how I’ve failed and learned from it. This creates a more comfortable, realistic space for them to open up and begin to establish trust.
Excitement – Once they feel safe and comfortable, we begin to put together the right process together. This should be done in a way so that there is more excitement and confidence rather than dread, fear, or self-doubt. However, it’s still common to feel some uneasiness when beginning a major lifestyle change.
Education – Once they begin to establish confidence, see results and demonstrate significant habitual change, then it’s best to begin educating them on adjusting macros, calorie cycling, strength programming, and all that other fancy bullshit that just sounds like words to them when just starting out. This is the final piece needed for the client to continue the lifelong process on their own.
Everlasting – This is what showcases the integrity of a trainer or a coach. If they’re doing this for the right reasons, they will not wish to create a dependency but should leave the client in a position to carry on all the new habits and learned information for the rest of their lives. I’ll constantly remind the client that this process is forever…and that should be both a little terrifying but mostly liberating.

21 JAN 2025 · In this episode, Mike welcomes Nick Becht back on the show for a discussion on the RFK "Make America Healthy Again" initiative. We address certain points in the policy that may be lacking relevant research and also find positive efforts within the campaign. We address specific food ingredients that have some controversy around them and the validity in the concerns in consuming them. We also brainstorm ideas of how to actually make the country a healthier place not just through food, but through our culture, health care system, societal norms, advertising, and mental health.

30 DEC 2024 · In this episode, Mike discusses 5 ways to help people stick to their fitness goal, as well as the 10 most common reasons why people find it so hard to start (or maintain) a regular training routine. The objective is to uncover what holds us back from making consistent training part of our lifestyle. We address time, finances, fear, purpose and other hurdles that seem to always appear throughout the process. All of this is very normal. So if you've started and seemingly failed, or never started at all, the best news is that it's part of life and you can begin immediately, but with a more focused approach on what can be sustained...FOREVER. Happy New Year!

27 DEC 2024 · We received really good feedback on the initial "Divorced Dads with Daughters" episode, so we did part 2! The purpose of these "Divorced Dads" episodes is to create a place where it’s accepted to discuss the divorce and parenting roller coaster and offer perspective to anyone based on our on-going experiences.
While we're certainly not therapists, nor do we pretend to be, this is a platform where we welcome any questions, input and participation.
Dan and Nick join me once again to shoot the shit on the following topics in relation to raising daughters post-divorce:
-Life changes since recording part 1.
-Splitting holidays.
-Do they still believe in Santa Claus?
-When should they be left home alone?
-The public bathroom situation.
-Laundry
-Handling minor disagreements and mishaps.
We intend to do an episode every 3 months so if you want to join us or suggest any talking points, please do! Thanks x10000000 to everyone who listens and provides feedback! Happy New Year!

16 DEC 2024 · As 2025 rapidly approaches, it’s common when the calendar changes, we contemplate making a change for ourselves. For over 7 years, I’ve been helping people change their diets, approach to fitness, training routines, habits, behaviors and any fear-based mindsets preventing them from breaking free of the gravitational pull of their comfort zone. The most important thing I’ve learned over the last 7 years is that there is not one sole “best way” forward. The very best plan for a person hasn’t actually been fully determined for them yet. The reason for this is because the best way forward is specific to the individual. The right plan for you needs to be determined by you. “Diet shopping” (aka trying everything that already exists) is a very demoralizing and expensive process where we try to fit a square peg (us) into a round hole (an existing diet). My objective for clients is to create a process specific to them that leads to habitual and behavioral changes that will last a lifetime. There should be no need to search for the “right diet” ever again. There’s no waiting around for that “new scientific breakthrough” that’ll finally be the one that fits you. We want to combine the rules of our anatomy and physiology along with our personal preferences for results, low depravity, flexibility and the most optimal health possible. Here are just a few bullet points of how the process operates:
· Initial Zoom/phone call. 100% free. No sales, just discussion and understanding of your goals and the initial start-up process.
· Rates: Life is expensive, more than ever. If the plan is flexible, it has to be flexible financially as well. We’ll figure out what works for your needs as well as your budget. The anxiety of an unaffordable plan will not produce the results desired.
· Nutrition: Macronutrient profiles, meal plans, tracking, hybrid. All of which can be implemented. Meal plans will always be weekly, but tracking allows for diversity in food for the week.
· Fitness: Full strength and cardio routines available with progressive overload tracking. Clients are able to send videos for a form check as needed.
· Behaviors: Before any drastic changes, we have to determine what must be unlearned and adjusted before we can implement new. The foundation of our habits may need to be partially or fully destroyed before we can rebuild.
· No limit to contacting me; just some patience for me to get back to you in a reasonable amount of time.
· I operate with full empathy, concern and understanding. I create a place of honesty and trust. If you feel like you’ve done something stupid, tell me. I’ll respond by telling you that it’s ok, how we can address it and then 2 things I’ve done in the past that were equally or even more stupid.
· Extras: Referrals, progress photos and reviews all extend the session by 1-2 weeks depending on the option selected. A monetary referral kick-back incentive is in the works as well for clients and non-clients.
I can go on, but my website is attached to check initial options, reviews, results photos, etc. Please contact me however you’d like: through the website intake, text, e-mail, social media, carrier pigeon, whatever works. I’ve also included a link to the latest podcast episode discussing MFS Wellness in greater depth in the comment section.
Hope everyone has a great Christmas and a Happy New Year!

7 DEC 2024 · In this episode, Mike goes over "delayed gratification" and playing the long game in the most important aspects in life: Health, Wealth & Relationships. While not an expert on the latter 2, life experiences have played a role in his understanding of the importance of implementing delayed gratification as a means of long term success in both. Of course, there are correlations made when it comes to playing the long game with health and fitness as well. Thanks to all who listen!
