The Low Carb Hustle podcast

Ever wonder why some people crush their fitness goals while others struggle to stay on track? What if the biggest challenge isn’t just about workouts and meal plans but also about the people around us, our mindset, and how we see ourselves? In this conversation with Melissa Vogel, we discuss the deeper aspects of fitness beyond workouts and meal plans. Melissa shares how leading by example—especially as parents—plays a crucial role in shaping the habits of those around us. She highlights the importance of being mindful of our environment and the people we surround ourselves with and how their support (or lack of it) can impact our journey. We also dive into the topic of sabotage—both from others and from ourselves. Whether it’s a partner unintentionally offering temptations or internal struggles that make us slip back into old habits, Melissa explains how identity plays a huge role in making lasting change. Lastly, we touch on relationships and communication. Fitness isn’t just about physical health; it’s also about mindset and support systems. Having honest conversations, setting boundaries, and creating a space where both partners feel valued can make all the difference in maintaining long-term success. Key Takeaways: Self-sabotage happens when identity doesn’t align with new habits. Hard conversations are necessary for growth in both fitness and relationships. Words have power, so use them wisely. Resources: Melissa Vogel is a fitness expert, speaker, and host of the Bomb Mom podcast. With years of experience in health, mindset, and personal transformation, she helps busy individuals break past their limitations and build strong, confident bodies. Her approach goes beyond workouts—focusing on identity, environment, and the power of mindset to create lasting change.

284: Reclaiming Health after Anorexia & Obesity Ft Mark Ennis 38:21

In this episode, I sit down with Mark Ennis to talk about why so many people struggle with weight loss, stress, and hormones—even when they feel like they’re doing everything “right.” If you’ve been stuck in a cycle of dieting, endless cardio, and frustration, this conversation is for you. We understand why too much cardio can make things worse—spiking cortisol, messing with sleep, and making fat loss harder. Mark explains why strength training, especially for women, is a game-changer for balancing hormones and getting real results. Plus, we talk about something most fitness programs ignore—how men and women need to train differently because their bodies aren’t the same. Ignoring this has led to a rise in inflammation, fertility struggles, and a ton of other health problems. We also dive into the dark side of the fitness industry—why influencers push unrealistic programs that don’t work for people with jobs, families, and actual responsibilities. Mark shares his journey through anorexia, obesity, and self-doubt, and what he would say to his younger self if he could go back. Key Takeaways: Fixing hormone imbalances first makes losing weight way easier. The right information can change everything—ask better questions and trust the right people. We're all unique, so what works for one person might not work for another. Resources: Mark Ennis is a fitness coach and nutrition expert specializing in strength training, hormone health, and sustainable weight loss. After overcoming anorexia, obesity, and years of struggling with body image, he now helps men and women break free from extreme dieting and unrealistic fitness plans. Through his coaching and platform, Fitness Beyond Time, Mark focuses on balancing hormones, managing stress, and training smarter—not harder—to achieve lasting results.

283: The Truth About Belly Fat: 11 Hidden Reasons You’re Storing Visceral Fat (And How to Fix It) 33:21

πριν 16 μέρες33:21

Is belly fat just about eating less and moving more? Or is something else going on? In this episode, I break down why belly fat isn’t just a calorie problem—it’s a hormone, sleep, and stress problem too. If you’ve been grinding away at the gym, eating “clean,” and still not seeing results, there’s a good chance something deeper is at play. We’ll talk about how stress and cortisol can make you store more fat, why poor sleep leads to cravings and weight gain (even if you think you’re getting enough), and how hydration plays a way bigger role than most people realize. I also share what I learned from analyzing 500 sleep trackers—and why so many people are sleeping but not recovering. Fat loss isn’t about suffering through more cardio or cutting more calories. It’s about fixing the hidden issues that make your body hold onto fat. Small changes—like managing stress, optimizing sleep, and staying properly hydrated—can make fat loss feel way easier. Key Takeaways: Small, consistent changes lead to long-term fat loss rather than quick fixes. Drinking enough water isn’t just about hydration—it’s essential for metabolizing and eliminating fat. Fat loss happens primarily at night, so optimizing sleep is critical for results.

What if learning something new wasn’t about talent or luck, but about pushing past the frustration that makes most people quit? In this episode, I sit down with Sam Gibson, a rope flow coach and entrepreneur, to break down what it takes to learn a new skill. Sam shares his journey with rope flow, the challenges he faced early on, and why so many people give up before reaching their first breakthrough. We dive into learning mechanics, exploring how starting simple, building confidence, and focusing on progress over perfection can make a huge difference. Sam explains why rope flow isn’t just about fitness but also about improving coordination, rewiring neural pathways, and even helping people with conditions like Parkinson’s. We also explore how rope flow fits into any routine, whether as a warm-up, a workout, or a mindfulness practice. Sam shares practical advice for beginners, including the best movements to start with and how to stay motivated through the learning curve. Key Takeaways: Consistency is key—just a few minutes a day can lead to noticeable improvements. A simple rope or resistance band can be used to start practicing before investing in a specialized flow rope. Online resources, courses, and community groups provide support and structured learning for those new to rope flow. Resources: Sam Gibson is a rope flow coach and entrepreneur dedicated to helping people improve coordination, mobility, and mental focus through movement.

Did you know that every sip of alcohol pauses your body’s ability to burn fat and build muscle? In this episode, we uncover the science behind what happens when you drink and how it impacts your fitness goals. From the moment alcohol enters your system, your liver shifts focus to processing it as a toxin, leaving fat burning and muscle repair on hold. If you’re eating during this window, your body is more likely to store that food as fat. We’ll also dive into how alcohol slows down muscle recovery and share why timing your drinks could make a huge difference in your progress. But it’s not all bad news! This episode is packed with simple, actionable tips to minimize the damage while still enjoying a drink or two. Learn how adjusting your meal timing, stopping alcohol consumption earlier in the evening, and making smarter drink choices can help you stay on track with your fat loss and fitness goals.

Justin explains how Jiu-Jitsu has taught him not only about fitness but also about trust and emotional growth.
