How to: Fitness

by Michael Ulloa and Kate Lyman

What’s the deal with MLMs? How are weight loss drugs reshaping body standards? Can we actually trust what supplement companies are selling us Why do we eat the way we do - and who’s influencing it? Veteran coaches Michael Ulloa and Kate Lyman are here to pull back the curtain on the wellness industry. How To: Fitness is a myth-busting, BS-free podcast that dives into the messy, nuanced, and often confusing world of fitness and nutrition. With evidence-based insight, candid takes, and digging into the darker corners of the wellness space, we help you make sense of what actually matters for your health—and what’s just noise.

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

There’s so much garbage in the fitness and nutrition space and THIS IS ACTUALLY GOLD! Some of the biggest podcasts are spewing nonsense and getting paid ridiculously to do so while you can listen to Kate and Michael share legitimate information and not be bombarded with ads to buy mid level products you don’t need :) if you’re even remotely interested in health/wellness/fitness/nutrition you’ll want to put this in your rotation.

Zoe Stern · Aug 2026

I really love this podcast! I first found Michael’s shorts on insta and came here to hear more. I appreciate that they both have updated their views as more research is released. They make health information accessible to people at all places in life. No guilt, no shame, just info and candor.

Snicccerdoodle · Aug 2026

It has been a joy to listen to this podcast because Kate and Michael bring their research and overall knowledge to make sure people get as much information to make the best decisions for individual health and fitness. I love their realistic and down-to-earth approach for a variety of fitness and health knowledge of their listeners. They also make it fun and silly which makes it enjoyable for me as a fairly active mother. It helps me feel seen and I gain so much information to make the best decisions for my health. Thank you both so much for your expertise!

bewags21 · Aug 2026

Kate and Michael are so knowledgeable and I love all the evidence based info they share. This podcast has been so helpful in my fitness journey. It’s also really easy to understand the evidence they talk about. Very straight forward with some goofiness thrown in as well.
