NLP645 - Cutting Through the BS in the Fitness Industry with James Cappola

In this episode of The Next Level Podcast, I sit down with my friend James Cappola, a rising force in the fitness space who's built a massive social media following by standing up for people getting bullied online and calling out the BS in the industry. James has become a bridge between education, integrity, and no-nonsense truth-telling—something that's sorely needed in today's fitness world.

We dive deep into:

✅ How James carved out his space in the fitness industry by standing up for others and holding influencers accountable.

✅ The rise of misinformation in fitness and how to spot the BS.

✅ Why social media can be both a blessing and a curse when it comes to fitness advice.

✅ The latest trends (and fear-mongering) in nutrition—like the demonization of seed oils—and James' take on whether they really deserve the villain status they've been given.

✅ How to develop a mindset that cuts through the noise and helps you make informed health decisions.

If you're tired of the nonsense in the fitness industry and want real, no-BS conversations, this episode is for you.
