Mindset & Behavioral Change Strength Coach
Private studio- Sahuarita, Az. Online, In person Strength & Nutrition Coaching What's up? Is my style challenging?

Im Jordan, a Registered Nutrition & Dietetic Technician through the Academy of Nutrition & Dietetics, a Certified Personal Trainer & Health Coach. I am not your typical trainer who uses moves and routines passed down through the ages, or whatever happens to sound good at the time. I have spent countless hours researching new techniques, routines, different movements and different philosophies which result in maximum results, and unmistakable gains to strength, conditioning, stamina, and all around mental fortitude. A quote from Dan Gable says: “After wrestling, everything else comes easy.” That may be true, but my workouts are definitely far from easy. I workout differently, and I get different results. You bet, but are you really looking for “easy”? I want to make my life better. Hopefully, that is the same reason you are reading this Bio right now. Let’s take this journey together.

What are a few things that I have learned throughout my short nutrition career & schooling that use I use to believe? ⬇️

1. Your nutrition doesn’t have to be boring to work. I use to think that “healthy” meant sweet potatoes, chicken & broccoli. Throughout my career I have learned while yes, that is healthy, there is so many ways to fit in other foods that you enjoy more & make those work.

2. Plot twist- all carbs are not created equal. While all carbs for the most part are used by the body for the same reason - energy, they are not all created equal. We use different carbs for different things. There’s pros & cons to all types.

3. Just because something is organic, does not instantly make it healthier. Marketing has made us assume that an organic label means healthier & it does not. It just simply means that a different form of pesticides have been used. Nutritional there is a very little difference in nutritional content when comparing organic to regular.

4. Again, hello food marketing. Just because an item is labeled with “less fat” or “fat free” does not make it better for us. Many times these foods have added salt/sugar to help make up for taste.

5. I use to believe that everyone’s nutrition should look the same, which is naive of me. There are so many factors that play a role in nutrition. These should all be taken in consideration.

What’s something you use to believe that you now know if false?

Have a goal to be able to do pull ups? Here’s a few tips that I would use to program my workouts to hit this goal ⬇️

First, we really want to focus on strengthening 3 areas: the lats, the biceps & your grip strength. Without adequate strength in one of these area, you are making it wayyyyy harder on yourself.

Pull ups are one of those super annoying movements that to do them, have to do them consistently. Ideally, pull ups should be trained 2-3 times/week.

What movements can be added to help build up strength to do pull ups:
🌟 Scapula pulls
🌟 Inverted rows
🌟 Reverse curls
🌟 Dead hangs
🌟 Weighted marches/farmers carries

"You're so busy, how do you manage to do it all?"

Many times, when people have everything together, we just assume that they have balance. The idea of balance is wrong in this situation.

Us busy bodies don't have balance (in fact, many of us have literal chaos), but it comes down to priorities.

No one wants to get up early before work & work out.
No one wants to spend Sundays meal prepping for the week.
No one wants to hit their steps after a busy day.
But you do it anyways.

& you don't do this because you have balance, you do this because its a priority to you.

Alcohol & goals 🥂

DISCLAIMER: I am not here to lie to you & tell you that alcohol intake at any level is progressive towards any goal, I’m simply here to lay down the education to help you make good choices.

Let’s break down the facts:
🌟 Alcohol provides us with 7 calories/gram consumed. These calories are empty calories, meaning they provide our bodies with nothing.
🌟 Besides providing us with 7 calories/gram, many times we also see an increase in calories/sugar consumption.
🌟 When we are under the influence, we tend to not make the smartest choices, which can potentially correlated into an increase of calories & fats consumed.

While the consumption of a drink here or there does not directly correlate with weight gain & an increase of body fat, the intake of alcohol over an extended period of time can play a role.

Remember: For weight gain to occur, we need to be a caloric surplus for an extended period of time.

PLOT TWIST: It's ACTUALLY okay to get off track & still be on track.

Many times, when we dive into any sort of fitness regimen or goal we feel as though we should be 110% all the time with no breaks, running 100 miles an hour. When in fact, the science has shown that having this "all or nothing" mindset towards our goals actually puts us at a disadvantage.

When we go into something with this mindset, we may be setting ourselves up for failure. Check out this scenario ⬇

It's a Wednesday, you've hit your goals everyday so far this week & have stayed on track with your hydration & your workouts. You walk into the work break room & see someone has brought in donuts (AKA your weakness). You give in & eat a donut. Once you finish, you get angry & start feeling guilt. That's when the whole place comes crashing down. You think to yourself "because I messed up with the donut, my whole day is ruined" & you start to spiral. You forget about your packed lunch & run over to McDonalds & eat Ben & Jerry's before bed.

Instead this is what should have happened ➡ When you saw the donuts, acknowledging that they are not part of the plan, however they are your FAVORITE. (Plus, who can resist a donut?) Once you decide that you are going to give yourself this one treat, you will continue on track throughout your day. That's it.

Doing so & giving yourself this treat while being aware of what you are doing allows you to enjoy with a few added benefits:
🌟 Promotes mindfulness around eating
🌟 Gives you a "mental break" & provides you with a moment of self care
🌟 Small dopamine rush
🌟 Prevents/decreases the chance of binging on these foods at a later time

Here’s to the women who the world told them they needed to shrink to fit social norms.

Here’s to the women being the only females in the gym.

Here’s to the women being badasses in male dominant worlds.

Here’s to the women holding down the fort at home.

Here’s to the women still figuring themselves out.

🥂 Cheers to all the women this international women’s day (+ all the supportive men in their life)

What are small wins? Small wins are minor things that we often overlook throughout the process. Many of these “small wins” all work together to help you progress towards your bigger, overall goal.

What is the benefit of focusing on these? Small wins are great at increasing motivation throughout the process. When we hit these goals, it shows us that we CAN in fact do the things that maybe we thought were a little challenging. This then in turn provides us with a little boost of self confidence.

What are some examples of small wins:
🌟 hitting your step goal
🌟 drinking all your fluids for the day
🌟 eating enough protein
🌟 hitting your workout when maybe you were feeling up for it

All wins don’t have to be big 💪🏽

Many times people think what keeps someone going to the gym day after day is motivation… and I can tell ya right now — that’s not it.

Motivation is exciting. It’s that spark you feel when you buy new gym clothes, start a new program, or tell yourself, “This is my year.” It’s powerful in the beginning. It gets you moving. It gets you started.

But motivation is temporary.

What happens when it’s no longer new?
What happens when work gets busy?
When the kids are sick?
When you didn’t sleep well?
When you’re stressed, overwhelmed, or just not feeling it?

That’s when the shift happens.

You’re no longer running off motivation — you’re running off discipline.

Discipline is showing up when it’s inconvenient.
Discipline is getting the workout done even when you’d rather be on the couch.
Discipline is choosing the meal that aligns with your goals even when nobody would know if you didn’t.
It’s not flashy. It’s not exciting. It’s not Instagram-worthy.
But it’s effective.
Because discipline isn’t about how you feel in the moment — it’s about who you’re becoming in the process. It’s understanding that every rep, every step, every intentional choice is a vote for the future version of you.

You won’t always feel motivated.
But you can always choose to be disciplined.
And that’s what creates real change.

Discipline > Motivation.
