In this episode I sat with Health and Wellness coach and no BS life strategist Jim Laird, a guy who's been through hell and came out the other side stronger, wiser and still lifting. Jim isn't just a coach, he's a survivor. He's battled and overcome ulcerative colitis, a staph infection, a traumatic brain injury and a crazy redhead. Through all of it, he's stayed focused on one mission, helping others reclaim their health, strength and mindset when life throws haymakers.
This conversation is raw, real and loaded with practical wisdom. We dive into how chronic illness nearly took him out, the brutal lessons he learned about recovery and overtraining and why most men ignore the mental side of healing until it's too late. We also talk about the toxic side of fitness culture, what aging athletes need to do differently and why more isn't better.. it's just more.
Whether you're on TRT, just starting your fitness journey or stuck in the grind wondering why your body's falling apart, this episode is a must listen. Jim's been there. He's brutally honest, insanely knowledgeable and refuses to sugarcoat the truth.
This one's for the guys who want to build real strength, not just in the gym but in life..
