Finley Funston drops in and we are not holding back. Finley is a nutritionist, co-owner of Madabolic Charlotte, and one of the sharpest voices cutting through the noise in the nutrition space. We dig into why dieting culture is broken, why extremes sell, and why most of what you see on social media about food is flat-out wrong.

We talk seed oils, aspartame, orthorexia, metabolism myths, menopausal nutrition, under-eating while injured, processed foods, and why your Diet Coke is not going to kill you. Finley also breaks down her actual approach with clients — maintenance phases, conservative deficits, and how she gets people to stop treating food like the enemy.

This one is real, funny, and genuinely useful. If you eat food, this episode is for you.

Dr. Alyssa Olenick drops into the Coach 'Em Up Podcast and delivers one of the most practical, no-fluff breakdowns of hybrid training you'll hear. She's got a PhD in exercise physiology, she's run ultramarathons, competed in CrossFit, and she's built a thriving online coaching business — and she's here to tell you exactly where hybrid athletes go wrong and how to fix it.

We're talking carb phobia, program hopping, recovery gaps, zone 2 cardio, power training, bone density, and why hard training is just... hard — no matter who you are. Dr. Olenick also gets real about burning out during her PhD, building Doclyss Fitness from passion (not profit), and why eating more carbs might be the single best thing you do for your performance.

If you're a hybrid athlete, a coach, or just someone trying to figure out how to balance lifting and cardio without destroying yourself — this episode is required listening.

Tim Riley sits down with Eric Hinman — entrepreneur, endurance athlete, brand builder, and community connector — for one of the most wide-ranging conversations we've had on the pod.

Emily Dow joins Tim Riley on the Coach 'Em Up Podcast to break down everything you thought you knew about carbohydrates, performance nutrition, and fueling your body the right way. This episode is packed with actionable advice for athletes, coaches, and anyone trying to level up their nutrition game.

Carbs are performance-enhancing. Full stop. Emily explains why carbohydrate timing, loading strategies, and the right macro balance matter more than the latest social media trend telling you to cut carbs. They dig into glycogen storage, pre- and post-workout nutrition, fructose vs. glucose absorption, gut health, fiber intake, and why under-eating is quietly wrecking more athletes than overeating ever could.

They also get real about the mental and emotional side of food — how under-fueled female athletes are afraid of carbs, how food addiction is a real thing, and how peptides may play a role in breaking those cycles. Emily gives out actionable tips to clean up your food choices, hot takes on the nutrition misinformation landscape, and a reminder to stop bouncing between approaches and just commit.
