Tim James is the founder of Chemical Free Body (chemicalfreebody.com), where he has made it his work to help others live a longer, happier, healthier life.

After helping a friend beat cancer, Tim went exploring for ways to optimize health and transform every area of his life. This led him to produce his own chemical-free food products.

In working to go "chemical free," Tim says he's got more energy than when he was a teenager, and he shares his story in this week's conversation.

This week's episode is another Q&A, where I'm answering listener questions.

This week, I answer:

- What's my favorite go-to healthy meal to get my nutrition back on track after it's been off for a while (i.e. vacation or holiday)?

- What's my current workout split look like?

- What do my journal entries look like?

Cam Hall from Fight the Dad Bod is back on the show just in time for the end-of-the-year feasting and festivities to discuss diet burnout and how to avoid it.

Cam has three primary points for you to consider when it comes to your health and nutrition, all with the aim to make you as successful as possible when it comes to reaching your goals in a sustainable way.

Josh Martin was my guest on episode 354 of the show, and in that episode, he alluded to a project that he was working on but wasn't quite ready to talk about.

Well now, Josh is ready to talk. He's a father of 8 and he has started a radically new supplement company, Solid, that is disrupting how you take things like preworkout and electrolytes.

In this conversation, Josh and I talk all about how he got started and what is so different about Solid.

My good buddy Kevin Torres is back on the show to talk about something we've all experienced in the last 18 months — life transitions. Pandemics, job changes, new children being born, oh my!

But more importantly, Kevin and I chat about how to get back to healthy habits after going through a significant life transition. He's perfect for this topic, as he just welcomed a new child into the world a few weeks ago.

As always, Kevin and I have a free-flowing conversation about real, attainable ways to get back to consistency when life takes its swings.

This week, I welcome husband, father, fitness fanatic, and business owner Sean Lake to the show.

Sean is a former professional snowboarder who also spent decades in action sports marketing, and now, he has started a health and wellness supplement company called BUBS Naturals.

The company is named after Sean’s childhood best friend
Glen “BUB” Doherty, a Navy SEAL who was killed in Benghazi, Libya on 9/11 in 2012. Sean is passionate about continuing on his friend's legacy through the new company, while also helping people feel great and do good.

This week's guest is finding ways to take a pain no parent wants to imagine and turn it into something greater and bigger for others.

Brian Thorburn, at the time of recording this interview, was just months removed from the passing of his son, Jax, who lost his battle with brain cancer.

To help carry Jax's legacy of strength and fight forward, Brian is continuing to build the company he and Jax envisioned as a way not only to inspire but also to lift others up.
