FIND A WAY is a mentality I found in losing 320lbs. It was so difficult to attack the physical and mental health of the weight loss journey. My Podcast varies from topical items like how to start, exercise recommendations, or laughing and talking about the health journey in general. Interviewing various lifestyle and diet choices, sharing the baby's life, and FINDING A WAY to help anyone and everyone looking to be the best version of themselves.
309: The Math Behind the Weight Loss: How Grouping Calories Built My Success
In this episode, Dusty opens up about the mindsets and strategies driving his recent weight loss journey. After coming to terms with the reality that exercise alone couldn't outrun his diet—even while pacing marathons and training six days a week—he shares the ultimate shift that changed everything: mastering nutrition.
Dusty breaks down his practical, math-driven approach to maintaining a calorie deficit through portion control and smart meal planning. Learn how to stop quitting on yourself, overcome grief and set backs, and take control of your day by breaking your total target calories into interchangeable 100 to 700-calorie "building blocks." Tune in for real, actionable tips on using simple references—and AI tools like ChatGPT or Claude—to eat the foods you actually enjoy (including ice cream and Texas Roadhouse) while still hitting your goals.

308: Who Decided the Rules?
We live in a world full of “you should never” advice. You should never run long distances on a track. You should never have weight loss surgery. You should never take medication. You should never try this diet or that approach.
But who decides those rules?
In this episode, Dusty shares why your fitness and weight loss journey should be based on what works for you, not on opinions from strangers online. After a simple social media comment about running laps on a track sparked a bigger conversation, he explores why there is no one-size-fits-all path to better health.
Whether it’s walking a track, following a specific nutrition plan, considering surgery, or talking with your doctor about medication, the goal isn’t to meet society’s expectations. The goal is to find a sustainable approach that helps you become healthier for life.
Stop chasing someone else’s rules, start building a plan that fits your life.
Let’s find a way.

307: The Secret Isn’t Motivation, It’s Rhythm
Starting a weight loss journey can feel overwhelming. Tracking calories, weighing food, learning portions, and building new habits all take time, and at first, they can feel exhausting.
In this episode, I share how learning to swim reminded me of the weight loss journey. In the beginning, you’re just trying to stay afloat. Everything feels awkward. But with repetition, you find your rhythm.
I also talk about how nearly 150 consecutive days of tracking in MyFitnessPal has completely changed the way I approach nutrition. What once took a minute now takes seconds. The habits that once felt like work have become second nature.
If you’re just getting started, or you’re frustrated because the process feels tedious, this episode is your reminder to stay with it. Commit to the repetition, trust the process, and give yourself time to build the rhythm. It won’t always feel this hard.
Find a way.
