Summary

In this episode, I sit down with our Next Level Nutrition coach, Tom Hippler, for a raw and honest conversation about the reality of falling off track—even as a seasoned nutrition coach.

Tom was one of the original coaches who helped me build this business, but in early 2023, he stepped away to start his own thing. Between launching a business, getting engaged, and buying his first home, Tom found himself in a place he never expected—struggling to maintain his own health and fitness. He opens up about how the stress of these major life events led him to neglect his nutrition and workouts, what it felt like to be in that position, and, most importantly, how he got back on track.

Now, after over a decade in the industry, Tom is back with Next Level Nutrition, and we couldn’t be more excited. He shares the biggest lessons he learned during this period, how he rebuilt his habits, and why he’s more committed than ever to helping others do the same.

PLUS, in honor of his return, Tom is giving away four months of completely free, high-level, one-on-one fitness coaching to one lucky listener! We’ve linked the application below—don’t miss your chance to work with Tom for free.
