Hello everyone and welcome back to Embodied Radio. I am your host Emily Duncan and today we're going to have a quick intro with lower audio quality than usual because I am on Adventure mode traveling currently in New York City just came here from Sedona like I mentioned in last week's episode and first of all I'm having the best time with all of the adventures which it's been so cool coming into a more adventurous and more social spirit. I've been a mild

close for the better part of my adult life and that the tides are turning but I'm having the best time and secondly I do not bring a microphone to record this intro so we're doing great and we are going to jump right into today's show minimal fluff in the intro so that you can get to some better audio quality and so that you can get to know our wonderful guest so today we are talking to my wonderful friend Matt McCloud so Matt McCloud first of all is basically like a gold

and retriever in human form wonderful human and he is one of my great friends I met him at a writing workshop in Austin Texas through a bunch of our mutual friends who are also at the workshop and we have just been buds ever since and I love the stuff that he puts out I love his content I love his spirit I love his energy it's just amazing so Matt is an online fitness coach a register dietician and content creator based out of Lexington Kentucky he coaches men and women on how to look great naked who doesn't want that be proud of who they are and enjoy life

and today we are really getting into some just nitty gritty of lifestyle nutrition and also doing just regular old life and soul talk like we typically do on the show but there are so many practical nuggets of wisdom about nutrition and about lifestyle and about harmonizing your goals and your expectations and the actions that follow so without further ado let's dig into it with human gold and retriever and source of wisdom and also the to my knowledge a founder of his personal trifecta

wine caffeine and water which I'm sure you will hear about on the show and see within his Instagram so not further ado let's chat with Matt McLeod

oh the middle child yeah I'm the best one in between the brothers every time I introduce every time I introduce myself I'm like yeah I'm the dumber but taller and more handsome brother so that's just how it goes

like hey we can't have everything it's like that thing where you're like you can only have two of the following list

wait what are you choosing we play up our strengths he's a pharmacist and like a COO like this compounding company

and stuff so it's like you know he's he's good but it's just like I mean come on just a look just care

charisma is just dripping we're just we're gonna go it really is you have such like a golden presence

about like you just show up you're ready to go like you know what it is are we are we going or

are we gonna get into I mean like I just started recording so we can dive in whenever like it's

it's funny when I said this to my last interview it's because it was with a friend whenever it's with

friends like we just get talking and then I'm like we'll introduce you at some point so I cut out whatever

is necessary to cut out but let's say what you're about to say all I'm gonna say is that like this is

because I was thinking about because you know with podcasts usually that's like what do you do or just

like a quick rundown or whatever and it's it's literally I think I can have this energy because I

genuinely enjoy life like I genuinely I genuinely like try to put like enjoyment and joy and just

having a good time while I'm here and and I think yeah that's just I've just always been kind of

glass half full type of guy and it's definitely it's definitely thanks thanks to my parents my mom

for sure she's like the the saint on earth she's the kindest person ever so good jeans

when she's icing you at weddings yes but it's it's out of love it's out of love that was a great story
