Ever wonder what an interventional cardiologist actually does to stay healthy?

In this episode, Dr. Chris Huff answers the most frequent question he gets from patients and followers alike: “What do you do?” Not hypothetically. Not generically. But meal-by-meal, workout-by-workout—he walks us through what a typical day (and week) looks like in his life.

From starting every day with protein-packed overnight oats to running up a bridge for hill sprints, Dr. Huff shares how he balances his love for exercise with the real-life demands as a physician, father, and business owner. He explains the health benefits of a Mediterranean diet, how to combine high intensity and low intensity aerobic exercise to optimize fitness, and which supplements he believes everyone should consider.

But the real heart of this episode is his mission: preventing the disease he treats every day in the cardiac catheterization lab. Through Premier Cardiovascular Health & Performance, Dr. Huff is helping people lower cholesterol, lose weight, and increase VO₂ max—without cookie-cutter plans or unrealistic expectations.

This episode is a masterclass in sustainable, intentional living from someone who practices what he preaches.

• Discipline Beats Motivation – Motivation will wax and wane. Discipline drives consistency, which yields results.
• Don’t over train – Combine high intensity workouts with zone 2 training to improve mitochondrial health and boost endurance without burnout.

What do elite athletes, struggling dieters, and busy parents have in common? According to Dane Fuller—founder of Eat Fuller Food—it all begins with breakfast.

In this episode, Dr. Chris Huff sits down with Dane to explore his remarkable journey from growing up above a fish and chip shop in New Zealand to discovering sport as a pathway to a better life. Through rowing, Dane learned the power of discipline—an insight that would shape his career in health, exercise science, and ultimately lead to an unexpected vehicle for change: oats.

But this conversation goes far beyond nutrition. It’s about behavior change, self-belief, and the art of coaching people to become their own best coach. Dane recounts his early days charging $10 per client, and how that grassroots effort evolved into a thriving food startup—launched from scratch and against the odds. He also shares the deeply personal story of how a single breakfast formula transformed not only thousands of lives, but also supported his son, who lives with Prader-Willi syndrome.

Dr. Huff and Dane also unpack common myths around weight loss, the pitfalls of willpower-based dieting, and why skipping breakfast may be more harmful than helpful.

With academic credentials in Exercise Science and Human Nutrition, along with a certification in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Dane embarked on a mission to transform lives through sustainable weight loss. His most impactful intervention was a breakfast formula inspired by the nutrient-dense meals he consumed as a competitive rower. Clients experienced rapid fat loss, increased satiety, and sustained energy—without deprivation. This approach became the cornerstone of FULLER Protein Overnight Oats: a fast, nourishing, and satisfying way to start the day.

From a shoulder injury that nearly ended his sports career to building one of the most respected youth coaching businesses in Colorado, Coach Marcus Mason’s journey is one of grit, growth, and grace under pressure. In this episode, Dr. Christopher Huff reconnects with his childhood teammate to talk through the winding path that led Coach Mason from a hospital bed to founding "Nothing But Net"—a coaching platform that’s shaped over 170 college athletes and trained NBA stars like Derrick White.

Coach Mason shares candid stories about his own struggles with self-worth, the early challenges of launching a business on credit cards, and the life lessons learned from coaching legends like Kermit Davis Jr. They break down the essentials for raising successful athletes in today’s ever-changing sports world—and why consistency, humility, and education still reign supreme.

You’ll hear what separates elite athletes from the rest, how to coach mindset alongside skills, and why trusting the process matters more than instant success. And yes—LeBron James might’ve cut him in line for ice cream in Paris.

Marcus Mason is a veteran basketball coach, mentor, and performance architect whose fingerprints are all over today’s college and professional basketball landscape. He’s the founder of Nothing But Net Elite Basketball Coaching in Colorado and has trained more than 20 pro players, including NBA star Derrick White, whom he’s coached since 7th grade.

He’s run camps for legends like Chauncey Billups, Tamika Catchings, and Chris Paul, and helped launch the careers of over 170 student-athletes at the collegiate level. Before all that, he was a Division I coach at the University of Denver — organizing film sessions, running recruiting trails, and developing academic support systems that helped his players thrive off the court, too.

Marcus’s approach is holistic — equal parts discipline, heart, and vision. His work is a case study in what long-term development looks like when you coach the person, not just the player.

• Stay consistent. One workout a week, every week, beats spurts of overtraining. Success is built in the mundane.
• Be coachable. Teach your kids to listen, adapt, and take feedback seriously—it’s a skill that translates far beyond sports.
• Delay specialization. Let kids play multiple sports and enjoy the process. Passion develops over time—not by force.
