In this episode, Kevin breaks down one of the biggest myths in health and fitness: the idea that metabolism slows down after age 30. Drawing on large-scale research — including a landmark 2021 study published in Science — he explains why your metabolic rate remains stable from age 20 to 60, and what really causes changes in weight, energy, and body composition as we age.

Kevin also dives into the physiology, what’s behavioral, and what’s completely within your control. This is an empowering, research-backed conversation for anyone who’s ever felt like their body was “working against them.”

• The truth about metabolic rate across the lifespan
• What actually changes after 30 (lean mass, NEAT, lifestyle)
• The biggest contributors to mid-life weight gain
• The role of strength training, walking, protein, sleep, and stress management
• How to take ownership of your health at any age

• Pontzer et al., Science (2021) — metabolism stability from age 20–60
• Studies on NEAT and daily energy expenditure

It’s a new year—and for many people, that means dusting off the scale and measuring success by a number.

But in this episode, Kevin flips that script. Because true progress isn’t just about weight—it's about energy, consistency, confidence, and how you feel in your own skin.

If you’ve ever felt discouraged by the scale, this episode will give you better ways to track your journey and redefine what success means in 2026.

What You'll Learn:

✅ Why the scale is only one (very flawed) data point

✅ 5 better ways to measure your health and progress

✅ How identity shifts lead to real transformation

✅ What it means to become the kind of person who follows through

✅ A 3-question journal prompt to start the year strong

Reflection Challenge:

Take 5 minutes today and write down:

1. What are you proud of from 2025?
2. Who do you want to become in 2026?
3. How will you measure success without using the scale?

Because when you start measuring the right things—you create momentum that actually sticks.

I’m joined once again by Mark England for what ends up being one of our deepest and most important discussions to date.

What starts with a lighthearted rant about coffee quickly turns into a powerful breakdown of why most New Year’s resolutions fail, why surface-level change never sticks, and why so many coaches burn out trying to have all the right answers.

At the center of this episode is a theme Mark and I keep coming back to: real change doesn’t come from answers — it comes from better questions, better words, and better breathing.

We explore why resolutions expire by February, how fear can actually be a useful signal for growth, and why asking how someone does something is far more effective than asking why. Along the way, Mark introduces what we ended up calling “the original sin of coaching” — the belief that a good coach must always have the right answer.

This episode is raw, honest, and practical. It’s a reminder that lasting progress — whether in coaching, business, health, or life — comes from slowing down, listening better, and letting people discover their own answers.

• Why New Year’s resolutions almost never work — and what to do instead
• The difference between resolutions and questions
• How fear can be a powerful tool when used correctly
• Why 90-day windows are more effective than yearly goals
• How language creates identity loops that keep people stuck
• Why coaches don’t need better answers — they need better questions
• The “original sin of coaching” and how it leads to burnout
• How breath control affects listening, presence, and decision-making
• Why observing thoughts is different than believing them
• What real coaching actually looks like when done well

• Change doesn’t happen at the resolution level — it happens at the word level.
• Asking how someone does something reveals patterns that why questions miss.
• Coaches who think they need all the answers stop listening.
• Questions pull people forward; answers push them away.
• Fear isn’t a stop sign — it’s often a compass.
• Real growth requires unlearning, not just learning more.

What’s the one thing I need to stop doing to make this next year meaningful?

Not a goal.

Not a resolution.

Just a question worth living into.
