Ep. 28 - How to Maximize your Calorie Burn

Fri, 13 Feb 2026 16:17:28 -0500

In this episode, I teach you (in simple terms) how your body burns calories each day, so you can learn how to optimize it. You'll learn WHY you want to be alike a BIG diesel truck and NOT a fuel efficient Prius if you want to age well and enjoy fun foods. So many people are focusing on the wrong part of the equation, spinning their wheels making little progress because they aren't leveraging their lifestyle so they are building a STRONG, robust and expensive metabolism. This will forever change how you think about exercise & nutrition if you didn't know this before.

Take aways:

How your body burns calories
How to maximize your diet to burn more calories
Key lifestyle habits for better fat burning
Feel more motivated to exercise
