We live in a society that encourages constant rushing, fast/processed food, a sedentary daily lifestyle and the normalization of medication over habitual/behavioral change. This is a system in place, intentionally or not, that destroys our physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing. The good news is, we possess the ability to escape the one part of this cycle: restructuring our body composition to feel good, look our best, and avoid over 80% of chronic illnesses. Improving upon our body composition by exiting an obese state and adding valuable muscle tissue isn’t just vanity, but it’s scientifically proven to increase the odds of living longer and upgrade our quality of life.<br /><br />Due to the brutal inflation we’re under, I’ve kept this affordable and a lot less than hiring a trainer or coach long-term, though there’s still phenomenal value in that, and I still offer that option. This episode highlights the process I’ve put together and what’s entailed in the virtual session. I do not vanish after the session, I’m available for messages for clarity and assistance once it’s complete.<br /><br />If you or anyone you know is looking to finally put away the fad diets and the yo-yo struggles, I truly believe I have the ability and track record to help people make these vital changes which will lead to loving and respecting themselves again. I operate with empathy, patience and understanding for ALL clients and there’s zero chance of failure unless effort is ceased. We have one life, time is moving faster by the year, there are so many outlets that want to control us and our time, but this is one thing where you will have full control, it may not feel like it at times, but when you’ve achieved success, you’ll realize it.<br /><br /><b><i>Contact Mike:</i></b><br /><br />Mike Sinopoli - NASM Certified Personal Trainer &amp; Nutrition Coach<br /><br />Instagram, Facebook, X, LinkedIn: <b><i>@mfswellness </i></b><br /><br />email: mike@mfswellness.com<br /><br />phone: 630-361-4907<br /><br />www.mfswellness.com ]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/68663216</guid><pubDate>Thu, 20 Nov 2025 22:32:23 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/68663216/episode_118_2026_virtual_lifestyle_change_session.mp3" length="28883974" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Mike Sinopoli</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>In this episode, I’m reviewing a virtual lifestyle change session in which I’m planning to help people with in 2026.

I used to let this time of year absolutely destroy me. I would feel like complete garbage by the new year: sluggish, lethargic and ragingly disappointed and disgusted in myself. I would eat and drink whatever I wanted because I knew at the new year I would go on a "hard diet" and cut out the vast majority of anything savory, sweet or alcoholic. While that restrictive phase definitely produced results, that restriction plus the disappointment of gorging at the back end of the year didn't necessarily lead to much internal happiness. I explain here how I fixed this cycle of extremes. If you feel like you've struggled on and off diets all year, just to throw in the towel in October, only to feel even worse by January, my ramblings may be helpful to you.

Whether you have a business, a charity you work with, a life experience, or a topic you've just wanted to chat about, I'm ready for it!<br /><br />Thanks to those who listen! <br /><br /><b><i>Contact Mike:</i></b><br /><br />Mike Sinopoli - NASM Certified Nutrition Coach<br /><br />Instagram, Facebook, X, LinkedIn: <b>@mfswellness</b><br /><br />email: <b>mike@mfswellness.com</b><br /><br />phone: 630-361-4907<br /><br />www.mfswellness.com ]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>1079</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/e57ef90c7e57f678b20bb37b8407b563.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Episode 112 - Everything Ends (In Memory of Sydney)</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/episode-112-everything-ends-in-memory-of-sydney--67425178</link><description><![CDATA[In this episode, Mike addresses the following:<br /><br />-The fact that literally everything in life will end, shift or change at some point.<br />-3 things we can learn from dogs.<br />-Feeling brain vs thinking brain.<br />-How stories, fairy tales, and movies have distorted real life expectations.<br />-The concept of Amor Fati.<br />-Remembering Sydney and the 2025 PAWS Chicago Walk.  <br /><br />Thanks to those who listen!<br /><br /><b><i>Contact Mike:</i></b><br /><br />Mike Sinopoli - NASM Certified Nutrition Coach<br /><br />Instagram, Facebook, X, LinkedIn: <b>@mfswellness</b><br /><br />email: <b>mike@mfswellness.com</b><br /><br />phone: 630-361-4907<br /><br />www.mfswellness.com ]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/67425178</guid><pubDate>Tue, 19 Aug 2025 14:37:54 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/67425178/episode_112_everything_ends_in_memory_of_sydney.mp3" length="33407103" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Mike Sinopoli</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>In this episode, Mike addresses the following:

While regular practice of genuine gratitude is one of the best attributes to attain as a human being, there's a usage of it that can keep a person stuck, complacent and unhappy. This episode explores the use of gratitude that invalidates feelings and keeps a person trapped in a comfort zone of familiar misery, one where they ignore a source of misery and gaslight themselves into things being just fine. We provide some examples of negative gratitude, how to overcome it, and explain how it's ok to be grateful while still striving for something even better.<br /><br /><br /><i>Contact Mike:</i><br /><br />Mike Sinopoli - NASM Certified Nutrition Coach<br /><br />Instagram, Facebook, X, LinkedIn: <b>@mfswellness</b><br /><br />email: mike@mfswellness.com<br /><br />phone: 630-361-4907<br /><br />www.mfswellness.com ]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/65001132</guid><pubDate>Fri, 21 Mar 2025 10:53:10 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/65001132/episode_104_the_darkside_of_gratitude.mp3" length="37705813" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Mike Sinopoli</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>In this episode, we look at the darkside of gratitude.

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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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. <br /><br /><i>Contact Mike:</i><br /><br />Mike Sinopoli - NASM Certified Nutrition Coach<br /><br />Instagram, Facebook, X, LinkedIn: <b>@mfswellness</b><br /><br />email: mike@mfswellness.com<br /><br />phone: 630-361-4907<br /><br />www.mfswellness.com ]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/63978295</guid><pubDate>Wed, 29 Jan 2025 01:17:38 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/63978295/episode_99_the_five_e_s_of_training_coaching.mp3" length="19517902" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Mike Sinopoli</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>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.

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:<br /><br />·        Initial Zoom/phone call. 100% free. No sales, just discussion and understanding of your goals and the initial start-up process.<br /><br />·        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.<br /><br />·        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.<br /><br />·        Fitness: Full strength and cardio routines available with progressive overload tracking. Clients are able to send videos for a form check as needed.<br /><br />·        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.<br /><br />·        No limit to contacting me; just some patience for me to get back to you in a reasonable amount of time.<br /><br />·        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.<br /><br />·        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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />Hope everyone has a great Christmas and a Happy New Year!<br /><br /><i>Contact Mike:</i><br /><br />Mike Sinopoli - NASM Certified Nutrition Coach<br /><br />Instagram, Facebook, X, LinkedIn: <b>@mfswellness</b><br /><br />email: mike@mfswellness.com<br /><br />phone: 630-361-4907<br /><br />www.mfswellness.com ]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/63332712</guid><pubDate>Mon, 16 Dec 2024 01:37:22 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/63332712/episode_94_mfs_wellness_in_2025.mp3" length="24967253" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Mike Sinopoli</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>As 2025 rapidly approaches, it’s common when the calendar changes, we contemplate making a change for ourselves.

We hope this episode can help dads (or any parent for that matter) gain additional perspectives on the whole process.  <i>Contact Mike:</i><br /><br /><i>Contact Mike:</i><br /><br />Mike Sinopoli - NASM Certified Nutrition Coach<br /><br />Instagram, Facebook, X, LinkedIn: <b>@mfswellness</b><br /><br />email: mike@mfswellness.com<br /><br />phone: 630-361-4907<br /><br />www.mfswellness.com ]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>4691</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>anxiety,dad,dads,daughter,daughters,divorce,family,father,gym,health,kids,life,mentalhealth,mom,mother,nutrition,parenting,therapy,wealth,wellness</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/e57ef90c7e57f678b20bb37b8407b563.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Episode 88 - Is College Worth It?</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/episode-88-is-college-worth-it--62324097</link><description><![CDATA[In this episode, Mike reviews the cost of college and if the ROI of a degree is truly worth taking on the severe debt associated with student loans.
