In this episode of the PerformWell Podcast, we’re tackling one of the most common challenges we see with clients and listeners alike, protein intake. If you’ve ever struggled to hit your protein goal, felt confused by food labels, or wondered whether plant-based protein really cuts it, this one’s for you.

We break down the basics of protein sources, from animal vs. plant-based options to understanding quality, bioavailability, and what actually fuels your performance. We also get practical, sharing meal planning strategies, snack ideas, and mindset shifts to help you stop overthinking and start hitting your numbers.

Plus, we talk about the deeper stuff: why some people sabotage their goals, how psychology plays a role in nutrition, and how to stay consistent without being obsessive.

If you're serious about improving your health and performance, this episode gives you the tools to make protein work for you, not against you.

In this episode of the PerformWell Podcast, we dive into one of our favourite topics, training styles, past and present. We unpack the evolution of fitness programming, comparing science-based lifting methods with old-school, traditional approaches.

We talk about why it’s not always about one or the other, but how blending both can actually get you the best results. It all comes down to intent, purpose, and knowing when (and how) to push or pull back.

We also dig into our personal experiences, the value of time under the bar, and why just following trends, like Hyrox, won’t necessarily get you where you want to go. If you care about training smart, not just hard, this episode is for you.
