  1. Brain-First Fitness: PJ Glassey on Cracking Your Calorie Code & Time Evergreen Podcasts 34:39

Ever feel like you’ve “tried everything” in fitness, only to end up exhausted, hungry, and back where you started? PJ Glassey believes the problem isn’t your willpower or schedule—it’s your brain wiring and metabolic code.

In this episode of The Wellness Driven Life Show, April Chavez sits down with PJ Glassey, CSCS—founder of XGym, tower-running athlete in his 50s, and author of Cracking Your Calorie Code—to explore brain-first fitness, 21-minute strength sessions, and metabolic strategies that fit real lives. With 35+ years as a trainer and biohacker, PJ has tested thousands of methods to distill routines that stick.

You’ll learn:

  • Why “eat less, move more” and calorie counting often backfire (and what works).

  • The seven “codes” behind hunger, cravings, metabolism, and plateaus.

  • How to integrate strength + cardio in 21 minutes, twice weekly.

  • Belief, visualization, and “inner toddler” psychology to rewire metabolism.

  • PJ’s tower-running and anti-Aging insights for lasting fitness.
