Summary

What if your fitness routine wasn’t just about looking good, but about being truly ready for whatever life throws at you? What if losing weight and getting in shape wasn’t about following the latest diet trend, but about learning how to take control of your health for good?

Today, I sat down with Drew Biemer, a coach who works with first responders and people looking to drop serious weight. His approach? No gimmicks, no fluff—just real, sustainable strategies to get strong, stay fit, and be prepared for anything.

We talked about why first responders can’t afford to be out of shape and how their level of fitness can mean the difference between life and death in high-pressure situations. But even if you’re not a firefighter or police officer, these principles still apply—being in shape isn’t just about aesthetics, it’s about being able to show up for yourself and the people who rely on you.

Drew also shared some straight-up truths about nutrition. If a box of cereal has to tell you it’s “healthy,” it probably isn’t. Instead of chasing trends, he breaks down how to make smarter food choices and build a diet that actually works for you.

Key Takeaways:

Discipline leads to freedom by giving individuals control over their health and fitness.

Whole foods and proper nutrition are critical in performance and long-term health.

A good coach equips people with knowledge so they can sustain their fitness journey independently.

Drew Biemer is a coach specializing in helping first responders stay mission-ready and guiding individuals from obesity to sustainable fitness. With a no-nonsense approach to training and nutrition, he focuses on equipping people with the tools they need to take control of their own health—without relying on a coach forever.

0:00.0	How do you get in shape if you're working doubles, working nights, tired, busy, no time,
0:05.1	or if you've never been in shape before, you're carrying 50, 60, 70, 100 extra pounds,
0:09.8	and I've never really seen that side of health.
0:13.2	Maybe you've been overweight or obese your entire life.
0:15.1	What's the secret there?
0:16.1	So I brought on my buddy Drew because he coaches two of what I would consider maybe the

0:32.3	a few key strategies that he uses with his clients who are really busy, have a lot going on,
