049 Shakshouka, Struggle, and Success with Jordan Syatt

What can a wildly successful strength and fitness coach, who has helped tens of thousands of people lose fat, bring to a podcast all about a love and reverence for food? A lot of common ground, it turns out.

Starting with a story about eating Shakshouka during a hike in the Negev Desert, Jordan Syatt shares about the approach to food, life, and family in the home of his heart, Israel, as well as his home of origin, in Boston.

He tells us how the experiences and challenges in both places led him to so much success in his current calling, and so much focus and clarity in what he wants next in his life.

Finally, we discuss how American culture forces a conflict between loving food on the one hand and being healthy on the other hand, and Jordan helps us understand how to reconcile and resolve that conflict - how we can love food, keep our bodies healthy, and most importantly, forge bonds while doing both.
