#21 - The Fresh Out 40: Avoiding Weight Traps After the Military.

In this episode, we zero in on a critical aspect often overlooked by veterans during their transition from military to civilian life: health and nutrition. We discuss the shift from the structured physical regimen of military life to finding a new balance in civilian routine. Explore effective strategies for managing nutrition and maintaining physical activity that suits your new lifestyle. Whether you're adjusting caloric intake or finding new ways to enjoy physical training, we cover it all to ensure you maintain both your physical and mental health. Dive in as we lay down the foundational steps for a healthier post-service life. This is the VetRise Podcast w/ Juan Perez, hosted by Marine Corps Scout Sniper Veteran, founder, owner, public speaker, and content creator Juan Perez. On this podcast, our goal is to make success after service accessible to every veteran. You'll learn about the many failures and lessons Juan has learned on his path from service to society.  Thank you for your time. ________________________ For more information on the VetRise Academy and for a chance to work with Juan Perez (Coach JP), apply here: VetRise Academy Application.  Follow Juan Perez's Socials: TikTok | Instagram | Facebook | YouTube |  | Threads | VetRise Academy Application  Join a positive Veteran Facebook group here:  The Vet Tribe Group ________________________ Chapters 00:00 Introduction: Optimizing Health and Nutrition for Veterans 04:44 Chapter 2: Maintaining an Active Lifestyle: Finding Sustainable Activities 08:59 Chapter 4: Incorporating Foods for Brain Health and Mood
