The Diagnosis

I’ve been peppering some of this information into the blog over the last several months and now I finally have enough information to share some updates about my health. Going back a bit, over the last few years, I’ve asked my doctor to do a comprehensive blood panel at each of my annual check-ups. My […]

It’s Not About The Cupcake

The average cupcake with frosting has somewhere between 300 and 400 calories. Depending on how many calories your body requires to be successful at fat loss, you may or may not have room for that cupcake. But the problem I find with many people’s diets isn’t about the cupcake. It’s the mental gymnastics that come […]

Who Should Be Giving Fat Loss Advice?

Last week, I saw a woman on social media saying that she would never take fat loss advice from a coach who’s never needed to lose weight. Her rationale being that if someone has never lived in a large(r) body, they aren’t qualified to give expert advice on how to lose it or keep it […]

More Talk About GLP-1s

I first started writing about the increasingly popular GLP-1 receptor agonist medications (GLP-1s for short) about two years ago. Much of what I wrote back then was informed by my time working alongside Dr. Spencer Nadolsky and a team of nutrition coaches when we were part of his online nutrition coaching program, Big Rocks. I […]

Tools For Cravings

For anyone trying to succeed with fat loss, beyond the calories you’re taking in or expending, at some point you have to sort out your food cravings. Each person on that journey is motivated in different ways and, as with any fat loss tools, what works for one won’t work for another and no tool […]

Remember Where You Came From (RevFit Is 16)

Several months ago, the building where I first opened the doors to RevFit was torn down. With that, goes the physical landmark of where our story began. As many know, when I started the business in May of 2009, I didn’t know anyone and I was starting from the ground up. The woman who would […]

If You Love Someone With Autism…

Many of my readers know that my oldest son, Jackson (17), has autism. He is my son from my first marriage and he was diagnosed around the age of 3. At roughly the same time, my father was dying from cancer. It was a lot to take in at one time. Jackson’s mom and I […]

Life Isn’t Easy

On average, I make the 600 mile drive from where we live in Ohio down to my hometown in Tennessee once a year. On a good day, where you hit no traffic on the way down, it might take 9-9.5 hrs. On a bad day, you can add another 1-2 hours depending on stops and […]

Why Can’t I Be You?

When I started RevFit, back in 2009, I needed to do a photo shoot for some marketing materials. I didn’t know anywhere near as much about nutrition and fat loss as I do now but, like a lot of coaches, I felt like I needed to show off more of my body than I normally […]

F*ck Calories, I Just Wanna Lose Fat!

Calorie counting works pretty damn well for a certain population of people. Some people can track long term, some can get by with short term tracking and for everyone else, you can succeed without tracking a thing. This week’s article will give you thoughts and insights if you want the scale to drop but you […]
