Building A Healthy Lifestyle That Lasts: Small Changes, Balance, & Discipline

Send us a text

Today, I sit down with Jacob Hiers, an insurance agency owner, husband, father of three, and competitive bodybuilder. Mr. Hiers shares the pivotal moment that pushed him into a serious fitness journey—seeing himself in a video that became his wake-up call. From there, he began small, consistent changes that eventually transformed his life and led him to competing in bodybuilding shows, where he recently won six first-place titles.

In our conversation, Mr. Hiers breaks down how discipline, not just motivation, became the foundation of his transformation. We talk about balancing family responsibilities with a bodybuilding lifestyle, the role of communication in marriage during intense competition prep, and how healthy habits can positively impact children. He also shares practical insights on nutrition, training, and the importance of building a sustainable lifestyle instead of chasing quick fixes like steroids or fad diets.

We also dive into the lessons he learned from competition, from enduring long prep cycles to navigating setbacks such as his coach’s car accident before his first show. Mr. Hiers is transparent about the mental and physical struggles behind bodybuilding, while also offering encouragement and advice for anyone just starting their fitness journey.
