Chris and Matt Johnson dive deep into what it really takes to move from “good” to “great” in your personal fitness journey. Building on recent interviews, they bring the focus back to practical, in-house action steps — from designing a realistic workout plan to understanding the deeper connection between movement, mindset, and recovery.

They explore the importance of place and time, how to build a sustainable exercise routine, and why most people start in the wrong place when trying to get back into shape. The conversation unpacks the concept of periodization — training in cycles that balance effort, rest, and adaptation — and introduces the 89-day Fibonacci Training Plan, a system based on natural rhythms found in nature.

Listeners will learn how to use tools like the Four F’s of Strength Training (Focus, Form, Feel, Fatigue) and the Three R’s (Rate, Range, Resistance) to train smarter, avoid burnout, and rediscover curiosity in movement. From the science of recovery to the art of listening to your body, this episode reframes fitness as a journey of awareness and intention — not just intensity.

Whether you’re new to exercise or a lifelong mover looking to reignite progress, this episode gives you a thoughtful framework for becoming more efficient, more mindful, and ultimately, more fulfilled in how you move.

In this episode of Rest Eat Move, host Matt sits down solo with David Harvey, co-founder and CEO of VEO Health, to discuss Matt’s personal journey of upgrading his health and the broader mission of shifting U.S. healthcare from reactive “sick care” to proactive “well care.”

David shares his motivation for entering healthcare after his son was born with complex medical issues and highlights the inefficiencies and limitations of traditional care models. VEO Health aims to empower individuals with in-depth biomarker testing, full-body scans, wearable integration, and personalized coaching — all outside of the typical insurance framework.
