Today, we dive into weight maintenance and recovery with our special guest Jeff Hoehn. Jeff brings a wealth of experience in nutrition and training, shedding light on the importance of managing fatigue and living at maintenance, which is often overlooked or misunderstood.  We share evidence-based strategies for long-term success in sustaining fat loss and maintaining strength as you age.Jeff, the owner of JH Health & Fitness, transformed his own physique through various building and fat loss phases, bodybuilding competitions, and injury rehab. As a knowledgeable online coach, Jeff empowers his clients with both skills and knowledge for sustainable progress. I invited Jeff, a fellow curious learner and host of The Mind Muscle Connection podcast, to share his insights and strategies from interviewing experts on his show and years of hands-on experience.__________Book a FREE 30-minute call with Philip here.__________Today you’ll learn all about:[3:17] Jeff's motivation and vision for fitness coaching and podcasting[7:29] Coaching values[11:11] Weight maintenance and sustaining body composition[13:29] Challenges with weight maintenance[21:24] Differences between maintenance and fat loss phases[23:06] Set point theory and its impact on weight maintenance[26:08] Addressing metabolic adaptation after a fat loss phase[32:13] Lisa credits Philip's coaching for her 17-lb weight loss and gives him a grateful shout-out[32:57] Importance of tracking during weight maintenance[36:44] Strategies for addressing weight fluctuations[40:30] Determining readiness to train and recovery status[42:28] The importance of and factors affecting recovery[44:55] Role of rest days and deloads in programming[47:22] Volume, intensity, frequency, and exercise selection in recovery[51:27] Non-training factors that influence recovery, including age and gender[56:49] Personal approach to recovery and overcoming setbacks[1:00:04] Influential podcast guests and personal relationships[1:02:07] Memorable feedback from podcast listeners or clients[1:04:13] Jeff's favorite sport[1:05:34] How to connect with JeffEpisode resources:Jeff's podcast: The Mind Muscle Connection Instagram: @ jeffhoehn_?
