Most people don't fail at their goals because they lack discipline — they fail because they were never taught how to set goals that actually work.
In this New Year solo episode, Vanessa shares a powerful, step-by-step goal-setting masterclass inspired by Tony Robbins and Brian Tracy, applied specifically to fat loss, body recomposition, strength, energy, and long-term metabolic health.
You'll be guided through the actual Tony Robbins Priming Exercise, learn how to set identity-based goals that stick, and discover how to turn motivation into simple, repeatable systems that work even on imperfect weeks.
In this episode, you'll learn:
-
Why most health goals fail by February
-
How to set goals from the right nervous system state
-
Tony Robbins' RPM Method applied to body recomposition
-
Brian Tracy's framework for turning goals into daily action
-
How to create motivation-proof plans for fat loss and consistency
This episode isn't about perfection — it's about building systems you can repeat all year long.
🎧 Listen now and set your 2026 goals with clarity, intention, and confidence.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Optimal Protein Podcast. I'm Vanessa Spina. |
| 0:04.8 | Hello, my friends. Welcome back to the podcast. I'm your host Vanessa and I am so excited for today's episode because I wanted to record a slightly different kind of episode today, something a little more personal but still very much grounded in science. |
| 0:22.1 | Now, if you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen my announcement already. |
| 0:27.4 | I'm going to get into it, but I have a personal announcement to share, |
| 0:31.0 | and then we're going to talk about the five biggest lessons from different studies and different conversations with guest |
| 0:40.1 | experts from the past year that genuinely changed how I think about fat loss, longevity, |
| 0:47.1 | and optimizing metabolic health. Not trends, not social media, sound bites, but the ideas that actually stuck with me after a full |
| 0:56.9 | year of deep conversations with researchers or deep research into brand new cutting edge studies |
| 1:04.7 | that shifted and changed my approach to health and fitness in a substantial way. And that also led to substantial |
| 1:13.8 | effects downstream. So the top five most powerful changes, lessons, whatever you want to call |

| 1:41.6 | optimal protein podcast, a very successful year, a very exciting year. |
| 1:45.6 | And I can't wait to get into it. |
| 1:47.7 | So let's jump in right after this quick break. |
| 1:52.0 | Friends, as we head into this new year, I know a lot of you have big goals, just like I do. |
| 1:58.8 | One of my biggest focuses in 2025 was metabolic efficiency, |
| 2:04.2 | losing body fat while preserving muscle and supporting longevity. One tool that I've been using |
| 2:11.0 | consistently on my protein sparing modified fasting days is the tone breath ketone analyzer. Now on protein sparing modified fasting days, |
