In this episode of the FitMitTuro Fitness Podcast, I’m joined by strength coach and educator Heike Yates, who specializes in helping women stay strong, mobile and confident after 50.

Many women believe that aging means slowing down, losing strength and accepting physical limitations. But the truth is the opposite: the years after 40 and 50 are exactly when strength training becomes most important.

In this conversation, Heike and I talk about what actually happens in the body as we age — from hormonal changes to muscle loss — and what w...

In this solo episode, I talk about something many people experience but rarely understand: why evenings are often the hardest part of the day when it comes to food.

Many people tell me the same story.
They eat well all day, stay disciplined at work, maybe even get a workout in… and then the evening comes and everything falls apart.

Snacks appear.
Dessert turns into more food.
And suddenly it feels like all the progress of the day is gone.

But this is not just ab...

In this episode, I talk about something deeper than calories or dieting.

I talk about trust.

Many people don’t struggle with information anymore. They know what to eat. They’ve tracked macros. They’ve tried multiple diets. But they still don’t trust themselves around food.

Years of restriction, labeling foods as “good” and “bad,” and starting over every Monday slowly erode self-trust.

I share the example of Sylvia, who tracked her calories accurately but still felt out of control under stress. Her issue wasn’t knowledge. It wa...

I’m resharing this episode because this is one of the most common frustrations I see:

“I’m eating clean… so why am I not losing fat?”

In this episode, I break down the real reasons why clean eating alone doesn’t guarantee fat loss.

I talk about how even healthy foods can slow progress when portion sizes are underestimated. Foods like nuts, avocado, granola, salmon, and peanut butter are great — but calories still matter. Energy balance still matters.

I explain why tracking your food for a few days can...

In this solo episode, I share what the Olympics really look like behind the scenes and what they taught me about consistency, discipline and pressure.

Most people see highlight reels. What I experienced was structure, repetition, logistics, and calm preparation.

The Olympic Village is simple. Security is strict. Media coverage is global. But what truly matters isn’t glamour, it’s daily discipline. Our team went through two and a half years of preparation, constant adjustments, mental health support, and detailed planning to perform on that stage.

I talk...

In this episode, I sit down with Kristina Morros, a former critical care nurse anesthetist and the founder of Get Healthy or Get Dead.

Kristina shares her journey from working inside the medical system to advocating for functional medicine, patient education, and personal responsibility in health. We talk openly about where the healthcare system works well — especially in emergencies — and where it falls short when it comes to creating long-term health.

Kristina explains why focusing on root causes like gut health, hormones, stress, sleep, hydration, and movement matters more than chas...

In this episode, I sit down with Samia to talk about something many people experience but rarely speak about openly: the emotional side of fitness, body image and grief.

Samia shares her personal journey of transforming her relationship with her body, food, and movement. We talk about how grief after losing her father affected her motivation, self-esteem, and daily life and how exercise slowly became a way to reconnect with herself, not punish her body.

This conversation goes far beyond workouts and diets.
It’s about mental health, shame, re...

January is the time when many people start doubting themselves.

They feel like their plan isn’t working, results aren’t showing fast enough, and the first thought is often: “Maybe I need to change everything.”

In this solo episode, I talk about why so many people quit their fitness goals in January and why changing your plan too often is usually the real problem.

I explain how unrealistic expectations and constant plan-hopping keep people stuck, even when they’re actually doing many things right. Early progress often goes unnot...

Lately, I get asked a lot about AI workouts.

Are they good?
Are they better than YouTube workouts?
And do you still need a coach?

In this solo episode, I share my honest take as a coach who works with real people, real schedules, and real life stress and how I use AI in my coaching.

I break down the differences between random YouTube workouts, general AI-generated workout plans, and coach-created programs. I explain why random workouts often fail due to lack of structure, why AI...

January is the time when motivation drops and many people start thinking they already failed their New Year’s goals.

In this solo episode, I talk about why most January goals don’t stick and why it usually has nothing to do with discipline or willpower.

I share my own experience of moving from December’s noise into January’s quiet, and why that shift often makes people feel stuck, tired, or frustrated. Most goals fail because they’re simply too big, too vague, and too strict to work in real life...

Most men are told that prostate problems are just part of getting older.

Dr. Lisbeth Roy says that’s simply not true.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Lisbeth Roy, board-certified functional and regenerative medicine physician, to talk about what’s really behind prostate issues, low energy, hormone problems, and declining performance in men over 40.

We discuss why standard medical tests like PSA often miss the real problem and how hidden infections, chronic inflammation, toxins, and gut issues quietly damage prostate health over...

In this episode, I want to push back on the whole “New Year, New You” thing.

You are not a broken project. You don’t need a completely new version of yourself. What you need is better support, kinder self-talk, and a simple plan you can actually stick to when life is messy.

In this conversation, I walk you through:

In this episode, I’m not talking about calories, macros or step counts.

This time of year, sticking to your goals feels harder than ever. Busy schedules, dinners, darker days, stress, cravings… and suddenly November becomes the beginning of the holiday spiral.

But here’s the truth:
 You don’t need a perfect plan to stay on track during the holidays — you just need one grounding habit that keeps you steady even when life feels messy.

In this episode, I (Turo) break down the exact strategy I teach my clients to avoid the all-or-nothing mindset that ruins progress. You’ll hear real s...
