NLP645 - Cutting Through the BS in the Fitness Industry with James Cappola

Fri, 31 Jan 2025

In this episode of The Next Level Podcast, I sit down with my friend James Cappola, a rising force in the fitness space who’s built a massive social media following by standing up for people getting bullied online and calling out the BS in the industry. James has become a bridge between education, integrity, and no-nonsense truth-telling—something that’s sorely needed in today’s fitness world.

We dive deep into:

✅ How James carved out his space in the fitness industry by standing up for others and holding influencers accountable.

✅ The rise of misinformation in fitness and how to spot the BS.

✅ Why social media can be both a blessing and a curse when it comes to fitness advice.

✅ The latest trends (and fear-mongering) in nutrition—like the demonization of seed oils—and James’ take on whether they really deserve the villain status they’ve been given.

✅ How to develop a mindset that cuts through the noise and helps you make informed health decisions.

If you’re tired of the nonsense in the fitness industry and want real, no-BS conversations, this episode is for you.

NLP643 - Navigating Health Trends: The Seed Oil Craze and Social Media Skepticism

Sun, 26 Jan 2025

In this solo episode, I dive into a hot topic in the health and wellness space—seed oils. They’ve become the latest villain in social media health circles, but are they really as bad as they’re made out to be? I break down both the pros and cons of consuming seed oils, discuss the science (and the lack of it in some arguments), and offer a balanced perspective on the topic.

 

Additionally, I share tips on how to use discernment while navigating your social media feed. In a world filled with flashy claims and clickbait, it’s crucial to identify red flags and spot credible information. Whether it’s seed oils or the next trendy topic, understanding how to think critically about the content you consume can make a huge difference in your health journey.

 

Tune in for a refreshing, no-BS discussion to help you separate fact from fiction in the world of health and fitness!

NLP642 - How to Find Your Sweet Spot Between Balance and Commitment

Tue, 21 Jan 2025

On this solo episode of The Next Level Health & Fitness Podcast, I dive into the fine line between balance and discipline in your fitness and nutrition journey. While balance is essential for enjoying life—like saying yes to the occasional dessert or night out with friends—too much flexibility can derail fat-loss goals. I discuss why discipline is the foundation that allows you to enjoy balance guilt-free and how short-term sacrifices lead to long-term success. Tune in as I share actionable strategies to help you find harmony between enjoying life and staying committed to your goals, including setting non-negotiables, planning indulgences, and embracing the power of intentional choices.
