The Body Recomp Podcast | Beyond Fitness
The Body Recomp Podcast is where smart lifters (like you) go to learn what actually works for losing fat and building muscle. No fads. No quick fixes. Just real, evidence-based strategies to get leaner, stronger, healthier... and more jacked, of course.
I’m your host, Kade Howell — a coach, father, husband, and wiener dog dad/connoisseur. After coaching hundreds of clients to transform through body recomposition, I’m here to share the training, nutrition, and lifestyle principles that cut through the noise and actually create lasting change.
Thank you for being here, and I hope you enjoy the show!
