"Your newsletter inspired me to track more protein, and my newest hack is making a big batch of tzatziki with 0% fat greek yogurt. It’s been a game changer and so so good!!"

Ginnie M.

"Dave's tips have been incredibly helpful. I'm on week two of his at home workout plan and it's the perfect addition to strength training on top of daily walks. I really appreciate how practical his tips are and reasonable to implement for someone with little free time."

Leya L.

"Getting Jacked Nerds in my inbox each week feels like Dave dropping by for a quick, encouraging chat. His emails break down fitness and nutrition in a way that’s practical, science-backed, and actually fun to read. I’ve learned a ton—without ever feeling overwhelmed—and the occasional dive into his latest nerdy obsession always keeps things fresh. If you’re getting serious about living a healthier, stronger life, Jacked Nerds is an easy yes."

Tino K.

"...Your weekly newsletter is giving me so much incredible value. Your emails are engaging and fun to read...not to mention full of awesome tips and tricks. Reading them really has inspired me to track what I'm eating, use AI for meal ideas and get back on the exercise wagon. I have already lost 10lbs!!"

Tyler D.

"I used to bounce between fitness trends without ever sticking to anything. Jacked Nerds helped me cut through the noise. Dave explains stuff like macros and progressive overload in a way that makes sense, like a friend who gets both your Star Wars references and your reluctance to count calories. I’ve got a solid routine now, and for the first time, it feels sustainable."

Annie Y.

"Every issue feels like a cheat code for building better habits. I’ve started meal prepping, added functional workouts to my routine, and even stopped skipping breakfast thanks to Dave’s protein tips. It’s smart, supportive, and totally bingeable. Nerds like me need this kind of fitness guide — it’s judgment-free and genuinely motivating."
