Travel isn’t just sightseeing—it fundamentally changes the way you think and comes with a massive neurological upgrade. In this episode of The Upgrade Effect, we break down the highs and lows of traveling and how every experience, the good, the bad, and the ugly, leaves you with a fresh perspective. Few things have the power to transform you like travel. It’s the ultimate upgrade—expanding your mindset, shifting your priorities, and leaving you with a version of yourself that’s more open, adaptable, and enriched by the world.

What do you need to do? It depends on WHAT THE GOAL IS. In this episode of The Upgrade Effect, I’m joined by Meaghan Keating, a Certified Fitness and Nutrition Coach, to discuss why dieting is often a scam and how health fads can leave you feeling overwhelmed. We explore how your unique goals should guide your approach to health—whether it’s building muscle, losing weight, or simply feeling your best. Meaghan shares her experience prepping for a bodybuilding show, explaining how her intense diet and workout routine are tailored to her specific goal of getting shredded, but are far from practical for everyday life. Tune in to learn how to align your health practices with your goals and break free from the confusion of diet culture.

In this episode of The Upgrade Effect, we’re putting water under the microscope—literally and figuratively.

Spoiler alert: not all water is created equal.
