Transform Your Body and Your Mind: A Scientific Approach to Nutrition w/ Ryan Hickey EP 419

What mindset is limiting your mental and physical health?

Ryan Hickey will help you discover that today!

Hey there and welcome back to the University of Adversity podcast. Thank you so much for tuning in today.


I'm excited to bring on an old friend of mine, Ryan Hickey, who I met back in 2008. Ryan has since gone on to do some cool things in the nutrition space and specifically helping men in their thirties lose their gut and become physically capable by learning what to eat.


During our conversation, we talked about misconceptions around weight gain, trauma, and metaphysical stuff. Ryan has a scientific, evidence-based approach to nutrition, which he shares with us, and we unpacked a lot in this conversation.


So, without further ado, let's get into today's conversation with Ryan Hickey.

About the Podcast

University of Adversity
Real stories and tools to help you grow through adversity, burnout, and reinvention.
University of Adversity is a show about the moments that change us — especially the ones we didn’t ask for.

I’m Lance Essihos, and I sit down with athletes, bestselling authors, doctors, entrepreneurs, spiritual teachers, and everyday warriors to have real conversations about adversity — the kind that strips away the surface and forces us to face who we really are.

We go deep into the mindset shifts, emotional breakthroughs, and practical tools that helped them rebuild. Not just to survive, but to come back stronger, clearer, and more aligned.

This isn’t motivation.
It’s what happens after the breakdown, when you’re trying to put the pieces back together and make it mean something.

If you’re in a season of uncertainty, burnout, or reinvention — this show is here to walk with you.

We don’t just talk about getting through the hard times.
We talk about who you become because of them.

Lance Essihos

As an experienced veteran with adversity, Lance has faced some of life's most difficult challenges. Grinding his way through the hockey ranks to traveling the world as a bartender. Through his personal battle with drugs and alcohol for well over a decade, the tragic loss of his brother to suicide followed by the great loss of his father to cancer only a year later, Lance realized he had hit rock bottom. In the darkest of days, he made a promise to himself that he would create a new life, one that would make an impact and inspire the masses, leaving the world in a better place than he found it. Lance has made it his mission to facilitate the message of positive change through adversity and encourage people to see the light through the darkness of life's worst moments.
