Let me take a minute to reintroduce myself.
My name is Lucius Willson I’m the athletic trainer for Corbin High School and the co-owner of Iron & Ash CrossFit in Barbourville, Kentucky. I’m a husband, a father, and someone passionate about fitness, nutrition, and helping others become the best version of themselves inside and outside the gym.
A few years ago, I faced a turning point. After leaving a job I’d held for ten years, I found myself weighing over 320 pounds and dealing with early signs of type 2 diabetes and kidney issues. That news was a wake-up call. I knew something had to change. I started small cutting out sugary drinks, moving daily, and following a basic push-pull-legs routine paired with a keto diet. Within a few months, I dropped to 290 pounds. The number on the scale wasn’t what kept me going it was how much better I felt, both physically and mentally.
When I discovered CrossFit, everything changed. It reignited my drive and gave me a new purpose. Combining strength and conditioning in a challenging but supportive environment pushed me further than I thought possible. Over time, I reached 260 pounds and began to understand how nutrition directly impacts performance and long-term health.
That experience inspired me to pursue certifications that would allow me to help others make their own transformations. I earned my CrossFit Level 1 and Level 2, a Personal Trainer certification, and two Nutrition certifications—one in macro-based dieting and one in keto. Through that journey, I built my philosophy around sustainable, individualized coaching focused on real, lasting change.
Now, I bring that same passion to Rooted Fitness and Nutrition, where my goal is to help others take control of their health just like I did.

Have you ever woken up and for no reason at all it feels like you could eat everything in sight? 🍩🍕🍫

That’s not just lack of willpower… that’s your body trying to tell you something.
Most of the time, it means we haven’t been fueling enough, and our body hits us all at once with cravings.

Here’s the key: one “off” day doesn’t have to turn into two… or five… or a whole week.
✔️ Listen to your body.
✔️ Fuel it consistently.
✔️ Get back on track with your very next meal.

Remember: progress is built in the long game, not in one perfect day.

👉 If you need help finding balance with your nutrition, that’s exactly what Rooted is here for. You don’t have to figure it out alone.

Health isn’t about perfection it’s about consistency, balance, and giving your body the fuel it deserves.

At Rooted, we believe:
✅ Food is fuel, not punishment.
✅ Prep doesn’t have to be fancy just intentional.
✅ One meal won’t ruin your goals, but the habits you build will shape your results.

This week, set yourself up to win:
🥗 Plan a few simple meals.
💧 Keep water close at hand.
⚖️ Remember that balance beats extremes every time.

You don’t have to do this alone you’ve got a coach, a plan, and a community cheering you on every step of the way.

It’s football Friday y’all That means late games, busy weekends, and plenty of chances to either fuel your body or let it run on empty.

👉 Hydration matters – Don’t wait until you’re thirsty. Sip water through the day, and if you’re hitting the stands tonight or sweating it out in the gym, aim to replace what you lose. Add electrolytes if you need that extra kick.

👉 Meal prep = freedom – Take an hour this weekend to set yourself up. Chop veggies, grill some chicken, make a batch of rice or oats. Having balanced meals ready means you won’t be scrambling or living off concession food.

👉 Enjoy your food, no guilt – Be prepared, have fun, and enjoy the moment. We all have goals, and they won’t get destroyed from just one meal. Don’t make a habit out of it, but don’t stress either. If you grab a hotdog at the game, enjoy it — just don’t let your “next meal” turn into pizza. Fuel your body most of the time, and when the fun foods show up—eat them with gratitude, not guilt.

At Rooted Fitness & Nutrition, we believe food is fuel AND fun. Balance looks like water in your cup, a prepped meal in your fridge, and still saying yes to popcorn under the Friday night lights.

This weekend, let’s hydrate, prep, and have reach our goals.

A lot of people believe the only way to gain weight is to overeat. But here’s the truth:
👉 You can under eat and still gain weight.

How?
When you consistently under-fuel your body:
• Your metabolism slows down to “protect” you.
• Your body holds onto fat as a survival response.
• You lose muscle mass, which lowers how many calories you burn daily.
• Stress hormones spike, making it even harder to see progress.

The result? You feel stuck. You’re eating less, but your body isn’t changing or worse, you’re gaining weight.

💡 Fueling your body properly isn’t about eating less it’s about eating the right amount of the right foods to support energy, recovery, and long-term health.

If this sounds like you, you’re not alone. Most people we coach come in under eating, not over-eating. Once we get their nutrition balanced, everything changes: more energy, better workouts, and the scale finally moving the right way.

🔥 Stop starving yourself. Start fueling yourself. Your body will thank you.

When it comes to nutrition, one of the biggest myths is that you have to be “perfect” to see results.
🚫 No, you don’t need to cut out all carbs.
