Body Composition, Weight Loss & What Coaches Are Getting Wrong (w/ Aram Grigorian)


In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I sit down with my good friend Aram Grigorian from the Real Coaches Summit to talk shop on what actually matters in coaching today. We dig into body composition and weight loss, why consistency still beats novelty, and how to think more clearly about calorie tracking without losing the forest for the trees.

We also get into industry trends, client compliance, and why live, in-person events remain one of the most underrated tools for becoming a better coach. If you’re a trainer or just serious about improving your health and results, this is a practical, no-nonsense conversation you’ll get a lot out of. I also share a sneak peek at what’s coming up at the Real Coaches Summit.

WARNING – you may be offended by some items that Aram or I say in this podcast. Just a heads-up, and enjoy.

Hola from getting up at 4 AM in frozen MN to the tune of -11 F to journey to the airport to be deposited by the flying germ tube to Reston, VA, where I am at a Mastermind Meeting Mon and Tues. I'm stoked to be here as it is 1) 40 degrees warmer (31 F right now), 2) I get to learn new stuff and see old friends, 3) I am doing a presentation tomorrow on my fave recovery device - the Shiftwave chair.

Welcome back to the Flex Diet Podcast!

We dig into the real science of CDP Choline, how it supports memory, focus, and cognitive performance, and where it actually fits into the human physiology engine, not the hype machine. Katie and I also zoom out into the...
