In this episode of Reppin' Fitness, Coach Brick Headstrong sits down with fitness coach Dr Joey Munoz for a real talk about calories, diets, and why most people are overcomplicating what it takes to get healthy.
From understanding how calories actually work to why “named diets” (like keto, carnivore, and juice cleanses) miss the mark—Joey breaks it all down with practical advice you can actually use. Whether you're trying to lose weight, gain muscle, or just get a handle on emotional eating, this episode helps cut through the noise.
Inside you’ll find:
- A simple breakdown of calories, macros, and metabolism
- Why diet quality and quantity matter
- The real reason your lifestyle might be holding you back
- How emotional eating, stress, and sleep tie into results
- Why most “popular” diets aren’t the answer
This isn’t about shortcuts—it’s about doing it right.

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
