This episode is the first in a series where Michael Cazayoux interviews WAG staff members and coaches. 

In this episode, he interviews Taylor Lumpp, our Head of Operations and one of our original coaches. She’s a 64 kg Olympic weightlifter, a multi-time national medalist, and she even won the Arnold Classic this year.

Professionally, Taylor was an FBI agent for 4 years, starting at age 19 (you won’t want to miss hearing about this part of her story!).

In this episode, we learn about:

  • How Taylor found WAG and why she wanted to join
  • What WAG was like in those early days (and how things have changed)
  • What it was like being coached by (and developing a friendship with) Adee
  • How her relationship with food has evolved and improved
  • What she’s learned after working with hundreds (possibly thousands!) of clients

Taylor believes that a person’s success on a nutrition plan can be attributed, in large part, to the degree of suffering they’re experiencing. Check out the episode to hear her explain why!

Also, podcast reviews are pretty darn important to iTunes (and other platforms). The more reviews we receive, the more likely we’ll be to get this podcast and message in front of more people (something about iTunes algorithms?).
