On this week’s Classic Rewind episode, we’re revisiting one of our most powerful conversations from the archive - because the message is just as relevant (and needed) today as it was when it first aired.

My guest is Jessica Procini, founder of Escape from Emotional Eating. Jessica is on a mission to help high-achieving women break free from the cycle of emotional eating - not by focusing on what’s on their plate, but by uncovering and healing the emotional and psychological roots driving the behavior.

In this candid and deeply insightful interview, Jessica shares her own journey with emotional eating - despite being a fitness instructor and nutrition school grad - and how traditional advice like “just eat healthier” or “try more willpower” completely missed the mark.

We explore:

• What emotional eating actually is (it’s not what you think)
• Why high performers are especially vulnerable to it
• The four hidden “roots” of emotional eating
• How stress, self-loathing, and even celebration can trigger it
• Why healing emotional eating goes far beyond therapy or meal plans
• A powerful tool to help you eat for energy - not emotion

If you’ve ever found yourself turning to food for comfort, stress relief, or simply to take the edge off a busy day, this episode is a must-listen.

In this Monday Mile episode, Coach Kevin is joined by Coach Monica to uncover the silent pillars of true strength. You’ll learn why these often-overlooked elements are absolutely essential for sustainable fitness, injury prevention, and daily functionality - and how to start improving them today.

From deadlifts to underwear tests (yes, really!), we’re giving you practical, easy-to-implement strategies to build a body that moves well - and keeps moving well - for decades to come.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why balance, mobility, and flexibility decline with age - and how to fight back
• How core strength is directly tied to balance and stability
• The difference between flexibility and mobility (and why you need both)
• Our favorite exercises for building balance and coordination

Most people in their 50s and 60s think the only way to lose weight is to eat less and move more. But what if that strategy is exactly what's keeping you stuck?

In this week’s Monday Mile, Coach Kevin and Coach Russell dive into the surprising science of building muscle, healing your metabolism, and why sometimes the best way to lose fat… is to eat more (not less) food.

Whether you're stuck at a plateau, living off 1,200 calories, or tired of yo-yo dieting, this episode unpacks the truth about reverse dieting, bulking, and how to strategically rebuild a healthy metabolism that actually burns fat again.

🔥 In this quick-hit episode, you’ll discover:

• Why your metabolism isn’t broken - but it is pissed off
• How muscle acts like a fat-burning engine (even while you’re sitting down)
• The critical difference between “bulking” and “just gaining weight”
• When eating more is the only smart option
• The mindset shift that helps you escape the crash-diet trap - for good

If you’re frustrated, exhausted, and feel like you’re “too young to feel this old,” this one’s for you.

• The food industry’s dirty secret: why your cravings are being hijacked
• How to spot the difference between quality supplements and snake oil
• The shocking decline of soil health and how it’s impacting your health
• Regenerative farming: what it is and why it could change everything
• The essential supplements Dr. Burke recommends for the over-50 crowd
