Welcome to the tailored life podcast. This is the fitness and nutrition podcast that goes way beyond just training and nutrition and helps you create a life by design. I am your host, Cody McBroom. I am the founder of tailored coaching method and the tailored

trainer, which is a training app that you can get access to my programs and workouts on a daily
