Armor Up, For Real Health

Lorayne Michaels—certified personal trainer, health and wellness coach, speaker, and your host—lays out a simple promise: build resilience from the inside out.

Expect practical breakdowns of strength training, functional nutrition, and sustainable habits that turn complex ideas into daily action. No fear tactics, no fads. Just clear frameworks for protein, fiber, sleep, electrolytes, progressive overload, and the small routines that compound into big change.
You’ll hear solo deep dives and expert interviews that connect the dots between lab markers and lived experience, between stress and cravings, between lifting and longevity. We talk about matching training to your season of life, fueling for muscle and stable blood sugar, and using simple tools—walking after meals, breathwork, sunlight, and smarter scheduling—to calm the nervous system so your body can adapt and thrive. If you’re overwhelmed by conflicting advice, this space cuts through the noise with honest conversations and evidence-based strategies.
