Summary

In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I sit down with coach Kevin Dineen to talk about where fitness and healthcare are headed and whether their merger is a net positive or negative. We dig into why people still default to asking physicians about training and nutrition, the problems created by siloed systems, and what a more client-centered model could look like with coaches, PTs, massage therapists, and physicians collaborating under one roof. We also discuss the pros, cons, and liability concerns around coaches using blood work for performance, how hard training can skew lab results, and why basic habits like lifting, cardio, steps, and community support matter more than expensive supplement stacks. Kevin closes with key advice for newer coaches: professionalism, mentorship, travel to learn standards, and clarifying your “why.” Sponsors: Flex4: Kevin's top 4 things new coaches can do to get better at their craft: https://flex-diet.kit.com/17ac1beadeDaily Fitness Insider Newsletter: https://flex-diet.kit.com/bfa1510fa8 Check out: Real Coaches Summit 2026: https://realcoachessummit.com Available now: Grab a copy of the Triphasic Training II book I co-wrote with Cal Deitz here.
