This episode dives into the common mistakes people make when starting diets or lifestyle changes, focusing on why the mindset behind the approach matters more than the plan itself. Bryson introduces a four-step framework to evaluate what's working, identify problems, implement changes, and create habits that stick long-term.

Bryson breaks down the importance of aligning your lifestyle with your goals. Your current habits dictate your current results, so reconfiguring those habits is crucial. He highlights strategies to remove barriers, such as simplifying healthy choices, making fitness more accessible, and reshaping your environment to support consistency.

Drawing from his own experiences, including lessons learned from trying intermittent fasting, Bryson explains why finding a method that feels natural to you is key to sticking with it. Turning healthy habits into second nature requires a mindset shift, and in this episode, he outlines practical steps to remove the internal friction tied to discipline while making lasting progress.

Welcome to the first episode of the Allegiant Fit Podcast! I’m Bryson Sessions, and I’ll be your host.

A bit about me—I started at 150 lbs with low confidence, but after 11 years in the gym, competing in men’s physique, and achieving solid lifts, I’ve transformed not just my body but my mindset. Now, I’m a fitness coach dedicated to helping men level up physically and mentally. Follow me on IG at @bryson.sessions for tips and resources.

This show isn’t about overcomplicating things—it’s about starting. Episode 1 might be a little rough, but that’s how life and progress go. When you first hit the gym, everything feels tough. But improvement comes, and from there, the real journey begins. You can have the perfect plan, but it won’t matter unless you take action. Just like in fitness, the start is essential. Each episode will be packed with fitness tips, nutrition strategies, and advice on mental resilience, designed to be practical and actionable.

As discussed in todays show, here's a recap on how to begin making a change:

1. Accept Responsibility: Recognize that your current situation is a result of your choices, and take ownership to change.
2. Be Ready for Growth: To get somewhere new, expect challenges and embrace the growth they bring.
3. Start Taking Action: Align your choices with your goals. If you want to lose weight, move more and eat less. If you want to gain weight, eat more strategically.
4. Give It Time: Fitness isn’t instant. Whether going all-in or taking smaller steps, commit to consistency.
5. Level Up: Start with small goals, then increase intensity and commitment over time. Don’t worry about others judging you at the gym; most people are focused on themselves.
6. Make Fitness Part of Your Identity: Real, lasting change happens when you see yourself as someone who prioritizes health and fitness.

Remember, every day has value. Think of it as being worth $50 million—don’t waste it. Start today with small steps like parking farther away or drinking more water. Every choice matters.
