The Secret to Sustainable Weight Loss with Landon Horst

In this episode of Strength Stories with Ryan Jore, Ryan welcomes back Landon Horst — a registered dietitian and personal trainer at Billings Clinic, where he runs the Weight SMART medical weight management program. Together, they dive into the difference between approach goals vs. avoidance goals and why focusing on positive, actionable habits creates better long-term results than living in restriction and fear.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✅ How approach goals (like adding protein or steps) reduce stress and build confidence

✅ Why celebrating small wins fuels momentum, while avoidance goals keep you stuck

✅ The psychology of weight loss maintenance and why reframing matters

✅ Why steps and strength training often outperform “just doing more cardio”

✅ How consistent meal timing can train hunger cues and improve results

Why It Matters

Shifting your mindset toward adding instead of restricting doesn’t just improve physical health — it builds a healthier relationship with fitness, nutrition, and yourself.
