BIG MAN, BIG PROBLEMS PODCAST
Julio is a BIG MAN and he is talking about the PROBLEMS of being a BIG MAN. This is not a diet plan, It's a discussion about life.
I Don't Obsess Over Food... I Obsess Over Eating
What if your relationship with food isn't really about the food?
In this episode of Big Man Big Problems, Julio sits down with Yvette and shares a realization that hit him during therapy: he doesn't think he's ever unintentionally eaten anything in his life. He thinks about the meal, the preparation, how he's going to eat it, even the plate and utensils.
And that led to an even bigger realization, he doesn't obsess over food. He obsesses over eating.
Julio and Yvette unpack what intentional eating looks like, where it can actually be...
Why Do We Wait Until We're Dying to Start Living?
In this episode of Big Man Big Problems, Julio is joined by Eve for a conversation about time, regret, forgiveness, and all the things we keep telling ourselves we'll do "someday."
After facing his own health scare and watching his father reach the end of a nearly 99-year life with things he still wished he'd done, Julio has a different perspective. We don't have as much time as we think we do.
And when you're living in a bigger body, it's especially easy to start putting life on hold. I'll take the trip when I...
What I Wish My Parents Had Said
How do you talk to someone you love about their weight without making them feel ashamed?
In this episode, Julio reflects on his own childhood, the conversations that stayed with him for decades, and how those experiences shaped the way he parents today. From silence to tough love, he explores why communication matters, why listening matters even more, and how a simple conversation can have a lasting impact.
This isn't an episode about dieting or telling people what they should do. It's about understanding, empathy, and creating a safe space for the people you care...
Reading the Internet's Meanest Comments
Today, Julio is joined by Alyssa from Belladonna Media for another reaction episode but this time, they're not reacting to videos...
They're reacting to the comments.
From body positivity and fatphobia to doctor's visits, shame, confidence, and the way people treat others online, Julio shares his perspective after years of living in a bigger body and being in the public eye.
You Deserve to Take Care of Yourself
Do you ever leave the house feeling like people are judging you before you even say a word?
In this episode of Big Man Big Problems, Julio opens up about something that doesn't get talked about enough, the connection between confidence, self-worth, and taking care of yourself.
For many people, especially those living in larger bodies, self-care isn't just about looking good. It's about believing you're worth the effort in the first place.
Stop Copying Other People's Diets
What do you eat?"
It's one of the questions Julio has been asked more than any other after speaking events, interviews, and even after appearing on television. But maybe it's the wrong question.
In this episode of Big Man Big Problems, Julio dives into the popularity of "What I Eat in a Day" videos and why so many of us are searching for the perfect meal plan instead of discovering what actually works for our own live
The Movie Quotes That Shaped My Life
This episode is a little different.
Instead of talking directly about weight, diets, or doctors, Julio talks about the movies, quotes, and stories that have shaped the way he sees life.
From Rocky to The Shawshank Redemption, The Princess Diaries to Moonstruck, this episode is all about the lessons we pick up from storytelling courage, honesty, resilience, fear, and what it really means to keep moving forward.
This one is more personal, a little nostalgic, and full of the movie lines and life lessons that have stuck with Julio over the years.
<...Not Everything Is Because You’re Fat
This week, we’re back responding to listener comments and this one goes deeper.
From bad therapy experiences and fatphobic comments, to the emotional toll of living in a bigger body, this episode gets into the stuff people don’t always say out loud.
In this episode of Big Man Big Problems, Julio talks about:
We Read the Comments…
This week, we’re doing something a little different.
Alyssa is reading listener comments out loud, and Julio is responding to them in real time. No prep, no script, just honest reactions to the things people say about obesity, body size, food, accountability, and “just having more self-control.”
In this episode of Big Man Big Problems, we get into the comments that a lot of people think… but don’t always say out loud.
Big Guy Summer Starts Here
Summer can feel different when you're a bigger person.
The shorts.
The shirts.
The pool parties.
The beach vacations.
The backyard barbecues.
The patio furniture.
In this episode of Big Man Big Problems, Julio talks about the realities of summer as a bigger person and why confidence matters more than the size on the tag.
The Most Important Health Decision You'll Make
Do you trust your doctor?
For a lot of people, going to the doctor feels like a chore. For others, it's a source of frustration.
In this episode of Big Man Big Problems, Julio talks about the relationship between patients and doctors, what makes a good doctor, and why finding the right one can change everything.
From years of leg pain that led to the discovery of a neurofibroma on his spine, to conversations about weight, referrals, therapy, and self-advocacy, this episode is all about being heard.
What Happens When Nobody Believes You?
Do you ever feel like nobody believes you?
You track your food.
You follow the plan.
You put in the effort.
And somehow people still assume you're doing something wrong.
In this episode of Big Man Big Problems, Julio shares one of the most frustrating experiences of his weight loss journey, gaining 26 pounds between doctor visits, being questioned by professionals, and feeling like nobody was actually listening.
We’ve Been Dieting Since We Were 12
We’ve all done it.
Weight Watchers.
Nutrisystem.
Keto.
Fasting.
Low carb.
No sugar.
“Starting Monday.”
And the truth is… every single one of them worked. At least for a while.
Are You Sad Because You’re Overweight… Or Overweight Because You’re Sad?
Are you sad because you’re overweight…or overweight because you’re sad?
It sounds like a simple question but it changes everything.
In this episode of the Big Man Big Problems Podcast, Julio sits down with Kelly to have a real, unfiltered conversation about what it actually feels like to be on a weight loss journey.
Is It Bad to Be Overweight? Let’s Actually Talk About It
Is it actually bad to be overweight?
Or is the conversation way more complicated than people make it out to be?
In this episode of the Big Man Big Problems Podcast, Julio tackles one of the most debated topics out there, body positivity, health, and what it really means to live your life as a bigger person.
This isn’t a surface-level conversation.
Why Your “Why” Matters More Than the Goal
Most people think it’s about the plan.
The diet.
The number on the scale.
But that’s not what makes it stick.
In this episode of the Big Man Big Problems Podcast, we get into something deeper, intention.
