In this episode, Bex is joined by Anthony Massino - functional nutritionist, strength & conditioning specialist, and AUSactive Exercise Professional of the Year 2025 - to explore what a genuinely holistic approach to health and performance looks like, and why it’s becoming essential for personal trainers.In this conversation, Anthony breaks down the most common factors he sees holding clients back, including blood sugar dysregulation, gut dysfunction, and stress-related HPA axis imbalance. He explains how chronic stress can quietly impact digestion, recovery, sleep, inflammation, mood, and overall resilience - even when training and nutrition appear “on track.”Anthony also unpacks nutritional blood chemistry: what it is, what it isn’t, and why many people continue to experience symptoms despite being told their results are “normal.” He highlights the importance of working within scope, using functional insights appropriately, and building a strong referral network.For personal trainers, this episode offers clear, practical guidance on early red flags to watch for in sessions — such as fatigue, shakiness, persistent bloating, or low tolerance to stress — and the foundational, in-scope strategies that can make the biggest difference. These include supporting circadian rhythms, prioritising nourishment and recovery, and programming that respects a client’s nervous system and capacity.Anthony finishes by sharing his Optimal You process, his work at Fifth Element Wellness, and what’s coming next with his PT mentorship program.Connect with Anthony: Instagram @coach_anthonymasino Fit, Healthy & Happy Podcast Welcome to the Fit, Healthy and Happy Podcast hosted by Josh and Kyle from Colossus...Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify
