THE 26 WEEK PROCESS

Structured Phases.

Intentional Progress.

Most programs overwhelm you with information and leave you to figure it out. Eat More Lift Heavy gives you one clear priority each week, with your data reviewed and your plan adjusted in real time by your coach.

THIS PROGRAM IS FOR YOU IF:

  • You have lifting experience and want better results with knowledge behind the process

  • You’re ready to stop guessing, learn, adapt and apply changes, not just follow

  • You want long-term progress, not quick fixes

  • You’re willing to track and use data

  • You want personalized coaching and accountability

THIS PROGRAM IS NOT FOR YOU IF:

  • You're brand new to lifting and need to learn the basics first

  • You want a meal plan handed to you without understanding the reasoning

  • You're looking for a 21-day challenge, a detox, or a quick fix

  • You're not willing to track your food

30-Day Satisfaction Guarantee

Complete the available modules, attend one coaching call (or watch the replay within 7 days), and post at least one message in the community. If you follow the process for 30 days and aren’t seeing progress, you’ll receive a full refund.

The quarterly commitment exists because the Stop Guessing phase takes 7 weeks. Leaving early is like judging a book by its first chapter. This guarantee is designed to protect those who show up and do the work, because that’s who this program is built for.

One focus per week · One action item · 10 to 15 minutes per module

01

Stop Guessing

WEEKS 1-7

Real progress starts with understanding your current habits. In this phase, you’ll build your measurement system, establish your baseline, and track your habits so your next steps are based on data, not guesswork.

Weeks 1-7 Roadmap

Welcome and Setup

Nutrition Foundations and Meal Timing

Understand your protein needs, meal timing, and hydration so you can fuel your body effectively.

Movement Habits

Understand how your activity outside the gym impacts body composition. Set a realistic step target, balance cardio with lifting, and build sustainable movement habits

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to track my food? 

Yes. We use MacroFactor, an adaptive nutrition tracking app that learns your metabolism over time for more precise calorie/macro targets as well as awareness of fiber and nutrients. It's a required tool for the program and has a separate subscription. We walk you through setup in Week 1.

Can I keep my current training program? 

Yes. Your Launch Plan will either confirm that your current program fits your phase and goals, or flag specific concerns. If you don't have a program, we'll assign one based on your intake. You will have access to a “Training Match” tool as your goals change so you’re always running the best-fit program for your needs.

What's the difference between EMLH and Dialed In?

EMLH gives you the full 26-week program, coaching calls, community, and a personalized Launch Plan. Dialed In adds personal coaching from a certified nutrition coach, a Nutrition Blueprint built around your life, weekly and monthly check-in reviews with written or video feedback, a personalized onboarding video, priority form checks, and private coach access via Telegram.

What happens after 26 weeks?

Your membership continues with full access to coaching calls, community, and the Mastery Library (all 26 weeks of content and tools, available anytime). The initial structured phase is complete, and you have the skills to sustain your own physique. Most members stay well beyond 26 weeks because the coaching calls and community remain valuable, and you will inevitably have newer, bigger goals around further muscle definition, endurance or sport, competition, or simply fine-tuning your fat loss, maintenance, and bulking phases. There's no pressure either way.

Why is there no monthly option?

This program is designed to take the 6 months necessary to properly build your foundation, execute your plan, and sustain your results. This is not a “quick fix” program but a sustainable transformation. If people leave before the foundation is in place, they never experience the part that produces results. The quarterly minimum protects your investment in the process as much as ours.

How soon can I start?

Immediately! After you enroll, you get access to Week 1 right away. You'll complete your intake questionnaire, set up MacroFactor, and join the community. Your personalized Launch Plan is delivered within 3 business days. New content unlocks weekly from there.

I'm a man. Is this for me?

Yes. Most of our members are women over 40, and the program addresses perimenopause, menopause, and hormonal shifts. But the core methodology applies regardless of gender. Men over 40 dealing with declining testosterone, recovery challenges, and body composition plateaus get the same structured coaching process. Many of our male members have unique situations like wanting to improve nutrition and lose fat despite lifting weights for many years, or they’re on GLP-1 medications, or they are struggling on a diet like carnivore or keto and would like a more flexible lifestyle, or they have special performance goals like an endurance race or a powerlifting competition. We can help you in any of these types of scenarios.

I already listen to the podcast. How is this different?

The podcast teaches principles and provides free information (and we hope you enjoy it and learn from it!). EMLH helps you APPLY those principles to your specific situation with coaching, data review, and accountability. If you've listened to 50+ episodes and think "I understand all of this, but I still can't make it work for me," that's exactly the gap this program fills.

How much time does this take per week?

The weekly lesson is 10 to 15 minutes. Tracking takes 5 to 10 minutes daily once set up. The weekly check-in takes 5 minutes. Total beyond your training: roughly 30 minutes per week. This is designed to fit into a real life, not take it over. We want you to succeed despite a very busy lifestyle!

Your next 6 months start here

You've spent years collecting information. EMLH is the 6-month process that turns what you already know into the body composition, the energy, and the confidence you've been working toward. With coaches watching your data every step of the way.
