Why Be a Guest on The Far Side of Fitness
1. Depth over Hype
My podcast goes beyond reps and routines. I have episodes that explore the why behind the what—diving into topics like the ethics of nutritional coaching, GLP'1s and perimenopause, gut health and fitness and much more. This attracts listeners who are thinkers, not just doers.
2. Practical Wisdom for the Real World
My episodes deliver actionable insights that can be immediately applied—whether someone is coaching clients, managing a facility, or optimizing their own wellness. My episodes blend big-picture thinking with ground-level tactics, which is rare.
3. Authentic, Unscripted Conversations
I have real, unscripted discussions with people who have something meaningful to say. No corporate polish, no overproduced noise—just genuine dialogue that educates, challenges, and inspires.
4. Led by a Respected Expert
My credibility matters. As an award-winning personal trainer (IDEA 2023 Personal Trainer of the Year), PhD, business owner, educator, and podcast host, I'm someone people trust to ask better questions and curate guests and topics that matter. My leadership and perspective sets the tone.
5. A Unique Voice in Fitness Media
Most fitness content sticks to one lane: workouts, nutrition, trends. My show is a crossroads of fitness, culture, leadership, and ethics. That blend is what pulls in coaches, execs, students, and curious minds alike.
