RER304 : Pulling A Ham and Fitness Routine

Welcome to the latest episode of Ruel’s Running Podcast, where I dive headfirst into culinary chaos, wrestle with my waistband, and sprinkle in some dad jokes because why not? This week, I’ve been living on the wild side with a pulled ham and eggs dish so good, it’ll make you forget you’re dieting—until your reflection in the fridge door says, 'Really?' And hold onto your forks, because I’m cooking up something that’ll make your taste buds salsa harder than they did at your cousin’s wedding.

Speaking of spicy challenges, I’m in the thick of my 90-day no-sugar, no-grain showdown. Spoiler: my sweet tooth has gone rogue and is probably plotting revenge. But guess what? I’m surviving—thriving even! Fewer people now mistake me for a Costco-sized marshmallow. That’s a win, right? I’m also prepping for the holiday break. Initially, I had a dream of eating my weight in meat, but then I remembered—I like breathing.

On the fitness front, I’ve been mixing it up with jump ropes, kettlebells, and a lot of creative grunting. I even swung a mace ball around like a Viking-in-training. It’s exhilarating until you realize everyone at the gym is staring like you’re auditioning for a medieval play. Oh, and let’s not forget my brilliant plan to slather myself in some weird moisturizing facial goo—not a dessert topping, just my way of staying warm while working out and pretending it’s science.

Next time, we’ll chat about supplements, shake weights, and other questionable life choices. Until then, grab a salad, hug your pet, and maybe jog a little (I’ll be napping for both of us). Stay epic, friends!

Then, he dives fork-first into his new eating habits, which may or may not involve an alarming amount of pork steaks.

RER300 : Nutritionist In The Village

In this episode, Ruel gets into why animal fat is the way to go if you're looking for a healthier alternative to seed oils. He explains the benefits, drops some knowledge, and shares how he preps a mouth-watering pork belly dish to render his own lard. But just when you think it’s all about cooking, Ruel takes a sharp left and loses his mind in a rant about how the human animal should really figure out for themselves what foods they’re meant to eat. Forget the diet fads, the calorie counting—Ruel argues it’s time for people to take back control of their plates. Expect a wild mix of practical tips, kitchen know-how, and a full-on, no-holds-barred rant that’ll make you think twice about your next meal choice!
