A few years ago, Darrell was walking up a hill, and noticed something that has never happened to him before:    His hip writhed in pain from this seemingly simple task!    At the time, Darrell was overweight. But he also stayed relatively active, and despite being heavier, his weight never caused such an urgent and alarming issue before.    He knew at that moment he had to make a change. And so, he scheduled an X-ray, but his X-ray said nothing was wrong with his hip. Next he went to a physical therapist who actually recommended yoga designed for men (even though he was not aware of Man Flow Yoga).    Darrell signed up rapidly and immediately started doing Man Flow Yoga three times a week.    Within a week or two, his hip pain vanished. Within a month or two, he became aware of Fit Father Project, and started doing both in tandem.    And today?    He's down 45 pounds, he's peppier, happier, and more confident all around.    If you let Darrell's story inspire you, it will lead you to a happier, more peaceful, more rewarding life.    In this episode, Darrell shares:    The trick to become consistent even when you're just starting How mindfulness exercises puts weight loss on "easy mode" And he even shares some baking and grocery store tips if you have a few extra pounds you want to lose    And more, including…    2 things you can start doing today if you suddenly start feeling old and sense aches and pains creeping up (1:47)  The "sticky note" consistency secret that could snowball into losing 45 pounds (4:51)  How yoga challenges obesity in a way that no other workout modality can (7:58)  A real life story about how the Better Man Podcast inspired Darrell to lose 45 pounds—here's what he did (9:52)  Darrell explains the incredible feats you can accomplish when you combine Man Flow Yoga with Fit Father Project at (12:11)  How to use rest in a way that makes you more excited for your next workout instead of dreading it (14:54)  The insidious way processed foods hijack your body's natural hunger rhythms (and how to stop eating it) (16:14)  3 healthy baking tips from Darrell so you can—literally—have your cake and eat it too (21:40)    Listen now!   Quotes from this episode's guest:    (2:22) And then I asked my physical therapist what I could do to keep this from happening again. And he told me two things. Number one, lose weight because I was grossly overweight at that point. Number two, find yoga. And he's qualified that by saying find a yoga design for men and find a yoga that will customize things to fit what's what's hurting you and in my case it was my hips. (4:05) I started doing it three days a week. I put it on the calendar, and did it three days a week. And in the beginning, it was a little difficult. But over time, I started feeling much better in my hip. (13:20) And I gave myself permission, though, to rest. (14:50) I realized stress was my unhealthy habit and I was putting more stress onto myself. So, I had to be more mindful about saying, "I'm too stressed right now. I can stop."  (18:57) I lost about 45 total. The first 20 pounds or 25 pounds came off really easy, came off fast. Really easy. The next 20 or 25 were not so easy. And I still would like to lose 10 more. And I'm kind of stuck there a little bit right now. I'd like to go down, I'd like to hit the 199 number on the scale.

Today's guest, Lee, has struggled with social anxiety and panic attacks for his entire life. But he's not letting that stop him.    In fact, when he attended the Man Flow Yoga Wellness Weekend in DC last September, he had a full-blown panic attack at the beginning of the event. But Lee not only powered through it, but he courageously shared what he was going through with the other men at the Wellness Weekend too.    Perhaps this next part bears no connection, but it's possible:    Despite being a Man Flow Yoga Member for years, Lee was never able to crack the code to consistency… until after he left the DC event that started with a panic attack.    He's done yoga almost every day since - and has actually gotten to the point where he looks forward to working out.    Here's what Lee and I discuss on today's show:    Lee and I share our origin stories for our panic attacks  He reveals a few of the most (and least) helpful ways he's addressed his social anxiety  And you'll discover exactly what Lee did after the DC event to become the most consistent he's ever been   Listen now.    The highlights include:    A few ways Lee overcame his debilitating social anxiety and made it more manageable (9:30)  Why attending an in-person event made something "click" in Lee's head to the point where he's done yoga almost every day since (even though he struggled hard with being consistent before coming) (13:02)  How to borrow inspiration and motivation from others (16:20)  The "consistency begets consistency" secret that nobody wants to hear, but it's the most effective way to develop a good fitness routine (18:40)  The weird way taking shirtless pictures of yourself can make you actually look forward to working out (20:20) A simple way to tweak your diet without feeling like you're depriving yourself of food (or even changing it that much) that can help you drop up to 8 pounds in two months (25:15)    Resources mentioned in this episode:    1.

My wife recently told me that 2025 was the "Year of the Snake," which signifies a time for shedding.    I don't know if there could be a more accurate explanation of 2025 to me.    It was a bizarre year where I stepped away from some of the behind the scenes stuff that happens at Man Flow Yoga more than ever before. This created new ways for stress to "heat seek" me out.   And these new avenues of stress, fear, and uncertainty led me to try different approaches to life, business, and most importantly, my mental and emotional wellbeing.    Long story short, I'm not moving into 2026 with a massive 12-step action plan. Maybe you aren't either.    And that's okay.    In fact, it might even be what's required.    This is a vulnerable solo episode - and I hope you find it helpful if your 2025 was also weighed down (or wildly different) because of the "Year of the Snake."    Here are the highlights from this episode:    Why you might be more ready for 2026 than you think (I went through this exact same experience too) (0:40)  How to better balance being proud of your progress with the shame that comes from your lack of progress (3:32)  What 2025 being the "Year of the Snake" means for your personal growth and development (4:00)  The weird way doing "more" is a sneaky warning signal from your nervous system designed to create a false sense of control (without generating better results) (4:33)  The story behind why I've been plagued with existential anxiety the last few months (6:04)  How having a conversation with your fears quietly and snugly tucks them into the bed in the back of your mind (instead of in the driver seat of your behavior) (10:05)  Why faith is a better and more reliable ally for your emotional wellbeing than certainty is (11:10)    Listen now!   Resources mentioned in this episode:    1.

David Maus Jr., the internet's premier expert on cold plunging, saunas, and other biohacking tools, makes his return in this episode.    David and I explore the science behind extreme temperature therapy, dive into the mental clarity, recovery, and longevity benefits of cold plunges, saunas, and contrast therapy, and the best ways to fit these practices into your busy life.    We go much deeper than cold plunges and saunas though. We also cover related biohacking topics like red light therapy, acupressure mats, and creatine (the most studied supplement on the planet with lots of benefits that transcend fitness).    If you feel like something's "off," you're ready to take your next step on your fitness journey, or you want to do everything in your power to live as long and strong a life as possible, then listen to this episode.    Here's what David and I discuss in today's show:   Why contrast therapy is the holy grail for recovery and circulation  When to choose cold therapy and when to choose hot therapy based on the benefits you're looking to unlock  How creating an intentional recovery practice is the single most important thing you can do for your overall health and longevity    And more, including these highlights:    How to boost your mood, energy, and fast track your recovery by doing this simple, yet tough practice (1:15)  Why you must gradually adapt to colder temperature extremes (5:30)  Physiological advantages of hot therapy, particularly sauna use, for cardiovascular health and cellular repair (10:20)  Why contrast therapy is perhaps the single most effective way to recover as quickly as you did in your 20s or 30s (15:45)  The #1 mistake men make when experimenting with extreme temperature therapy (20:10)  Are other related biohacking practices like red light therapy, acupressure mats, and creatine supplementation worth it? David explains at… (24:00)  Why wearing synthetic clothing in a sauna can not only defeat the benefits, but can put your health at risk (38:05)  How to integrate new wellness therapies into your life (especially if you're busy) (41:30)    Listen now!   Resources mentioned in this episode:    1.

About 14 months ago, Dave stepped onto his scale and was shocked:   For the first time in his life, the number on his scale started with a 3. He knew he had to do something different if he wanted to hold and play with his three young grandchildren.    Well, about 14 months later, he's down 100 pounds, or the equivalent of two small grandchildren worth of weight.    But his journey wasn't only filled with impressive milestones. He made his fair share of mistakes (including losing too much weight too quickly, overtraining, and cutting his calories too severely).    Here's what Dave and I discuss in today's show:   How a combination of weightlifting, walking, nutrition, and Man Flow Yoga led to serious weight loss The mistakes Dave made during his weight loss transformation so you don't have to make them yourself  How community support kept Dave motivated and accountable to his fitness goals     And more, including these highlights:    The wake-up call Dave experienced after seeing a number that started with a 3 on his scale that resulted in his losing 100 pounds (2:20)  How losing too much weight too quickly - like losing 60 lbs in 7 months - can delay your fitness goals, drain your energy, and sabotage your metabolism (3:44) Why taking weight loss medications without addressing your nutrition, fitness, or habits only results in short-term weight loss, frustrating plateaus, and putting the weight back on (5:42)  A telltale sign of overtraining that you must listen to or you'll injure yourself (9:07)  How having a tiny bit of accountability might be all you need stick with an exercise program long enough to slim down, build muscle, and eliminate pain (11:17)  Why having grandkids is a cheat code for creating a healthier lifestyle (14:18)  How to avoid developing an "old man's hunch" in your back (17:20)  This mindset shift helps you prioritize yourself so you can better serve those around you (31:46)    Listen now!   Resources mentioned in this episode:    1.

While there's overwhelming evidence between the connection of penis health and cardiovascular health, as we've gotten more data we've learned that penis health is one of the most important health biomarkers. Period.    Nobody has more data than Dr. Elliot Justin, founder of MyFirmTech, which is like an Oura ring (but for down there). His team has analyzed 84,000 erections and have stumbled on some interesting conclusions.    Based on their data, they've realized the importance of nocturnal erections, they've figured out to discover the root cause of ED, and they've uncovered why most doctors' "one size fits all" solutions for problems down there are terribly misinformed.    But perhaps the most impactful thing Dr. Elliot and MyFirmTech is doing is turning a once subjective area of science into objective data. Armed with this objective data, you can regain control over your sexual health or as Dr. Elliot puts it, your "erectile fitness."    And you know what?   The data you get from a FirmTech ring also helps you make smarter decisions in every aspect of your health.    And, of course, it creates more pleasure for yourself and your partner too (which is far more important to your overall quality of life and health than you might think… as you'll see when you listen to this episode).    Here's what Dr. Elliot shares in this episode:    How your penis health affects your overall health  The connection between erection strength and cardiovascular health  How a FirmTech unlocks objective data for your penile health metrics    Other highlights include:    Why men need to have 3 or 4 nocturnal erections each night (and why having none gives you a 50% chance of heart attack within two years) (2:22)  The strange way using a FirmTech can show you how diabetes,  blood pressure, bad habits, smoking, drinking, and more affect your bedroom performance (and how long you last) (4:02)  The ONLY way to make data-based decisions to improve your sexual health (4:26)  The "Nocturnal Erection Test" that can help you figure out the root cause of your ED (6:36) Dr. Elliot Justin and his team have analyzed data behind 84,000 erections… here are their biggest takeaways (9:40)  Why are more cases of ED being reported but we're not seeing a softening of their erections? (10:42)  How to get harder, last longer, have more confidence, and create more pleasure (for yourself and your partner) with this ring (11:39)  Why planning for pleasure in your 40s and 50s can improve your sex life, your marriage, and even help prevent divorce (and how to do it) (14:47)  How an orgasm a day cuts your cortisol levels (the stress hormone) by 25 and 50 percent (19:18)  How to cut your risk of cardiovascular death (and divorce) in half by having sex twice a week (19:45)  Why is a FirmTech device better at gauging REM sleep than an Oura ring? (22:46)  How antidepressants and antihypertensive medications sabotage your penis health metrics (24:51)    Listen now!   Resources mentioned in this episode:    1.

Some men are blessed with superior genetics. And other men are at the mercy of their less-than-stellar genetic code.    Today's guest, Man Flow Yoga Member Bob, falls into the latter group with cardiovascular health. His entire family has had some cardiac event that altered the course of their life.    Bob's cardiac event struck when he was 49. While he was out for a run, he started feeling alarming warning signs that made him rush to the ER. Turns out, he had a heart attack.    But you know what?   It's been a quarter of a century since his heart attack - and despite being dealt an unlucky genetic hand, Bob has not let it stop him. In fact, he's used it to up his fitness game… and he's in stellar shape in his mid-70s.    Whether you were also dealt an unlucky genetic hand, you feel the winds of Father Time starting to catch up, or you just need a dose of inspiration from a 74-year-old who's less stiff and achy today than he was five years ago, this episode has you covered.    Here's what Bob shares on this episode:   Bob's secret to consistency that's helped him stay consistent for decades  How to outsmart your unique genetic traps with diet and exercise  Why switching from running to yoga significantly improved Bob's body composition    And more, including these highlights:    How genetics and stress caused Bob to have a heart attack at only 49 years old - despite consistently jogging for 20 years (and how he upped his fitness game in the 26 years since suffering his heart attack) (2:38) A few of the symptoms Bob experienced during his heart attack that may help you recognize the warning signs if it happens to you (3:18)    How to satisfy your sweet tooth in only 100 calories (11:41)  Why your body composition can radically change even if you're in your 70s and even if your weight stays relatively stable (17:02)  The obvious, yet overlooked best way to prevent sarcopenia from setting in as you grow older (20:34)  How Bob balances yoga, strength training, and regular walks into his weekly fitness regimen (22:34)  The "extra 10 to 20 percent" secret of having an engaged community attached to your workout routines (27:01)    Listen now!   Resources mentioned in this episode:    1.

Despite being the internet's premier expert on cold plunging, saunas, and other biohacking tools… Today's episode with David Maus Jr. took a turn down a far more vulnerable road.    Why?   Because before David was a health and wellness content creator, he had a very different career. He worked in the family car business for 20 years. He was the VP and face of the brand.    But he decided to quit his job a couple of years ago because he felt like something was missing. He was great at selling cars and made great money, but he lacked fulfillment. He didn't want to just tolerate life, he wanted to be passionate about it.    And since more growth is unlocked from vulnerable conversations, that's the route we went down.    Here's what David and I discuss on this episode:    How David came to the tough decision to quit his job (and how it strained the relationship with his dad)  Why David's faith kept him grounded and confident during turbulent times  How to create a life that brings you ultimate joy    And more, including these highlights:    Why jumping into an ice cold river can completely eliminate your crushing brain fog, fatigue, and even burnout (5:56)  How to build your own DIY cold plunge in 10 minutes without shelling out $13,000 for one (12:22)  What led Dave to making a decision to leave his family's car business after 20 years experience to start a YouTube channel (25:00)  Why faith can make it easier to make a life-changing decision when you don't know whether it's the right move or not (30:41)  How sharing who you are (instead of what you do) online can almost magically connect you to others who are more like you (42:06)  Why you can gain a lot from hearing others' religious beliefs (even when you disagree) (51:19)    Listen now!   Resources mentioned in this episode:    1.

Most men have to gradually give up their favorite physical activities as they age. Especially when your hobbies are physically demanding - like skiing, hiking, and backpacking. Today's guest, John, faced this soul-sucking reality a few years ago after getting both of his knees replaced. He had been active his whole life before suffering from orthopedic problems that required surgery.    But you know what?    After his surgeries, which happened when he was 72 years old, John realized that he didn't have to be a victim to his body's stiffness and pain. That's what inspired him to come to the Wellness Weekend in January 2025 (about 18 months after his second knee replacement surgery).    During the Wellness Weekend, he improved his technique in yoga poses. Then, after the Wellness Weekend, he became more consistent with yoga than he had been in the previous 6 years. The result?    He hiked a mountain that ascended and descended 800 feet. He realized that not only could he ski again, but his balance improved so much that he actually became a better skier. And he recently drove 500 miles (or about 10 hours) in a single trip without getting stiff afterwards.    And he's 74 years old!   John's chockfull of wisdom for being consistent, building your body back up after major surgeries, and keeping your favorite physical activities well into your 70s.    Here's what John and I discuss in today's show:    Why starting small acclimates your body to working out and makes it easier to stay consistent and grow  A few simple things John does to stay consistent with his fitness in retirement  How you can eliminate your aches, pains, and stiffness in your 70s (and beyond)    And more, including these highlights:    How John bounced back from his health problems that derailed his favorite physical activities for 7 years… and what you can do to enjoy your favorite physical activities in your 70s (2:22)  Why attending an in-person Man Flow Yoga event helped John conquer his orthopedic problems (3:21)  What John did after having both knees replaced in 2023 to eliminate his post-surgery stiffness (13:03)  The simple "Exercise Log" secret that can help you stay consistent for decades (13:49)  Why a dedicated yoga room in your house removes your excuses for avoiding your next yoga session (15:18)  Does your body get stiff as a board after 10+ hour driving trips?

If you want to be the youngest and healthiest version of yourself possible, then you need a reliable strategy for working out consistently. Even when you don't want to.    Today's guest, ER doctor and anti-aging expert, Dr. Steven Gabriel almost never wants to work out. But being as young and healthy as possible is important for him. And so, he's developed a few ways to trick himself into working out that he shares with you in this show.    There's a specific reason Dr. Gabriel wants to be as young and healthy as possible:   He's spent years working in the ER and has seen first hand how important your lifestyle is for your longevity. He's seen 80-year-olds who had the energy and vigor of a 50 or 60 year old. But he's also seen the reverse: A 60-year-old who feels and acts like he's 80 or 90.    Here's what else Dr. Gabriel and I discuss in today's episode:    How men can have more fulfilling and connecting conversations by being courageously vulnerable Why it doesn't take as long as you think to learn something new  And he shares a few of his Jedi mindset tricks for forcing himself to work out when he doesn't want to (which is almost every time)    Other highlights from the show include:    Parents: Listen to this ER doctor's wisdom about safety (8:07)  How health consequences compound like bad interest as you age and how to at least not accelerate aging (10:59)  Why making healthy lifestyle changes, as cliche as it can sound, is the secret to living a vibrant life well into your 80s and 90s (14:34) The "Lucky" mindset shift that seems silly, but is surprisingly effective for creating good luck (16:07)  How moving into a more positive "emotional home" keeps you light and happy even when dark and tragic external events happen (20:43)  The "2,000 degree stone" secret for forcing yourself to workout that works exceptionally well when you don't want to exercise (25:50)  The weird way giving yourself 10 minutes to decide if you want to quit gets rid of all the mental gunk that stops you from achieving your goals (48:44)    Listen now!   Resources mentioned on this episode:    1.

From a young age, you've learned how to don various masks for different people. The problem with this is these masks aren't the real you.    But somewhere along the way, whether due to societal pressures, parenting, religious upbringing, or any other variable, you learn that it's safer to be someone else instead of you.    This strategy can work for a while. It's how both Dr. Zac from Movember and I have gotten through life. But it always fails in the long-run because stacking up achievements (personal, professional, or fitness) can't give you the unbridled joy you're desperately seeking.    The good news is that there's a solution. But the bad news is that it's difficult and takes a long time.    The solution?    Learning how to stop overthinking and underfeeling. This is particularly hard for men because we've been conditioned to think instead of feel.    But learning to feel is perhaps the single most important skill you can hone.    In this episode, Dr. Zac and I share the messy story of how we're both trying to feel more and think less - and we invite you to join us.    We also discuss:   How to take off the masks you're wearing that undermine your growth  The overthinking and underfeeling crisis that's affecting men  How the term "toxic masculinity" is unhelpful and harmful to men    Other highlights from the show include:    How men who do both theater or music and sports in high school don a mask that hinders their personal growth later in life (2:19)  The insidious way fear discusses itself as freedom of choice (and why this wrecks your relationship, including the one with yourself) (7:20)  The disorienting "generational trauma" trap that nearly every guy falls into (and how to realize these feelings were never even yours) (15:58)  Why men are so much better at thinking about their emotions rather than feeling about them - including Dr. Zac and myself (22:15)  The "feeling is the solution" skill that can help you stop overthinking and underfeeling (22:59)  How unleashing the grief monster gives you catharsis without drowning in your sadness (40:53)  Why "toxic masculinity" has morphed into a meaningless catch-all term for bad behavior (and how this undermines men across society)  (47:25)    Listen now!   Guest bio:   Dr. Zac Seidler is a clinical psychologist, researcher and leading men's mental health expert. He currently holds dual roles as Global Director of Men's Health Research at Movember and Associate Professor with Orygen at the University of Melbourne. Zac has dedicated his academic and professional career towards further understanding men's mental health and masculinity. His ultimate goal is to help reduce the staggering rates of male suicide and domestic violence worldwide. Through his research, Zac has advocated for a change in the way we think about treating men's distress. As part of his research, he has uniquely focused on creating mental health services that account for masculinity. This has evolved into a fully funded project, Men in Mind, the world's first training program for mental health clinicians, to help them better understand and respond to men's distress and suicidality.   Resources mentioned in this episode:    1.

The difference between success and failure with any fitness plan usually comes down to how consistent you are. But today's guest, David, had nearly all the odds stacked against him when it came to his consistency...    He admitted he's a chronic starter and stopper: In fact, it took him years to build up his consistency muscles and finish his first Man Flow Yoga Program.   He's a cook at a nursing home, and his shift begins at 4:30 am - adding another obstacle blocking his consistency.    And, because he's forced to wear non-stick shoes, his feet have overpronated and led to immense back pain.    But you know what?   Despite all of this, David never gave up. He learned to stop beating himself up (even when he wasn't as consistent as he wanted to be). And best of all, just this year, he's finally figured out how to be consistent.    Since then, he's managed his back pain, dropped 10 lbs, and changed his body composition.    Here's what David and I discuss in today's show:    How attending an in-person event created a snowball effect of consistency  Why standing all day for work is almost as bad as sitting all day  The unique challenges that come from having a wildly different sleep schedule than most of the world    And more, including these highlights:    How David's overpronated feet caused him immense back pain (and how he's made the pain manageable) (2:39)  Why kids in the family is a literal cheat code for consistently working out (even if you've struggled to be consistent for years like David has) (12:16)  How to trick your brain into working out even when you're exhausted and unmotivated (14:51)  David's favorite stress relief pose that he does whenever stress rears its ugly head (17:10)  The weird "dancing while standing" secret for eliminating back pain caused by standing all day (18:11)  How a tiny change like swapping processed sugar for natural sugar can help you take back control of your cravings (22:36)    Listen now!   Resources mentioned in this episode:    1.

You have been sold a lie, and if you believe it, you'll end up in a grave much sooner than you otherwise would've. It's not your fault you fell for this lie. I have too. In fact, almost every man has fallen for it.    The lie?   That in order to be a "real man," you have to tough everything out on your own. This lie has lethal consequences: it makes you feel unworthy of your own health, it forces you to avoid intimacy with other men, and it makes vulnerability impossible.    The result?    You fall into the deep abyss of loneliness… and don't know how to get out.    That's one of the reasons why men commit more than 75% of the suicides in America. And it's why I invited Dr. Zac Seidler, Global Director of Men's Health Research at Movember, onto today's show.    One of the problems with men's health is that disconnection and loneliness are discussed in a vague way. Well, Movember's recent report, "The Real Face of Men's Health" finally puts actual data to this vague description.   And the data trends are alarming: Isolation is the single biggest threat to your physical health. It will put you in a grave sooner.    The good news is, Dr. Zac shares a bunch of ways to stop living your life around this lie all men have been sold.    Here's what Dr. Zac and I discuss in today's show:    What's getting in the way of men having more meaningful connections - other than being physically healthy?  The insidious, borderline lethal effects of silence (and why a fear of rejection and vulnerability cause it)  How to change how you think about yourself to be happier, stronger, more vulnerable, and a better version of yourself    Other highlights from the show include:    Why the life expectancy gap between American men and women is actually going backwards for men (and how to prevent dying sooner than previous generations) (3:02)  The 2 biggest reasons behind the alarming suicide rates among men of all ages (worst part? it has only a small connection to complex mental health history) (6:04)  The potentially lethal consequences of "toughing it out" by delaying a doctor's appointment and putting your family or career before yourself (11:04)  Why your fear of boredom and silence will put you in your grave faster (and how pooping without your phone is the first step towards being comfortable with boredom and silence) (19:50)  The Harvard Longitudinal Survey, the longest running study on human health and happiness, has discovered one metric that's more important for living a long life than how much you exercise, your nutrition habits, and even whether or not you smoke (24:55)  The 5 areas of holistic health (and why most men only do a couple and completely neglect the others) (27:05)  How the silencing of your emotional needs leads you down a road of poor physical health (32:38)  The "WMQ" secret for not only sustaining male friendships but thriving and connecting with other men on a deeper level and actually living longer (52:23)    Listen now!   Guest bio:   Dr. Zac Seidler is a clinical psychologist, researcher and leading men's mental health expert.

It's easy to overcomplicate your fitness journey, then get overwhelmed and give up. That's why taking baby steps and building momentum helps.    But there's another way it helps too…   It helps you unlock the compound effect of fitness, where you grow fitter with each day. That's what today's guest, Oscar, did after seeing a picture of himself that betrayed his weight.    First, he started eating healthier by focusing on portion control. Next, he started walking, then running, then competing in 5k races. Then, he continued to build on his momentum and started strength training, high intensity interval training, and finally yoga.    Oscar's results?   When I ran into Oscar at an Austin event I hosted, he showed me he has only 17% body fat and built almost 100 pounds of lean muscle mass!   Best part?   Oscar got started on his fitness journey late in life and still accomplished these feats!   Here's what Oscar and I discuss in this episode:    Why a desire to enjoy your life helps you commit to your fitness journey The importance of having support structures around your fitness journey (especially in the beginning)  How to keep building momentum and improving your health as time ticks on    And more, including these highlights:   Here's irrefutable proof that you don't need to be a lifelong athlete to build 100 pounds of lean muscle mass or drop to 17% body fat (1:29)  How to unlock the compound effect of fitness by only taking baby steps on your fitness journey (3:18)  Why having your spouse invested in fitness is a cheat code for accountability (and how to use the "ease of life" argument to get your partner on board) (6:42)  How to learn to listen to your body before suffering a gruesome injury that sets you back (12:45)  Why external validation can cause injuries (13:45)  How complementing a strength training routine with evening yoga improves your recovery, boosts your mind-muscle connection, and increases your gains (25:47)  Why pushing yourself too hard with running devastates your knees (and why Man Flow Yoga is the best solution) (30:22)  The "motion is lotion" secret for continuing to exercise even when you're nagged by aches and pains (31:16)    Listen now!   Resources mentioned in this episode:    Start your 7-day free trial to Man Flow Yoga here: https://shrtlnk.co/kP8M7   
Your mindset can either be your biggest supporter or your biggest detractor of your fitness journey. But sometimes simple mindset shifts don't work because there's a deeper, subconscious belief that wrecks your consistency before you even start.    Like, for example, imagine you were always picked last in gym class growing up. This creates a subconscious belief that you're in danger, emotionally, when you exercise.    It doesn't matter how much willpower or motivation you have. It's impossible to become more consistent without addressing this deeper, emotional belief.    That's why I'm excited to invite Dr. Anthony Balduzzi, founder of Fit Father Project and Fit Mother Project, back onto the podcast. Dr. A's coached over 60,000 families through the emotional traps that keep them inconsistent.    In addition to sharing a few strategies to address the heavier, subconscious stuff, we also share some of our favorite practical tips to make being consistent easier.     Dr. A and I also reveal:   How to address the deeper emotional stuff that's holding you back  Tactical tips for becoming more consistent that you can use for your workout today  Hidden traps you fall into that make you inconsistent    Other highlights from the show include:    3 insidious ways your subconscious beliefs sabotage your fitness regimen (4:48)  How having too much flexibility in your workout regimen backfires and makes it easier to skip exercise (8:43)  A few ways to design your visual environment to make it easier to exercise consistently (it might sound weird or too simplistic, but it works) (13:30)  The "Press Play" habit building secret that stops your inner voice from undermining your next workout (15:51)  Why your subconscious mind might not like exercise (and how to address these underlying consistency saboteurs) (17:40)  The scientific explanation behind why late-night exercise can actually worsen your health (19:49)  How to neurologically condition your life to become easier as you age instead of harder (24:35)  This mindset shift can make every workout you do a healing experience (30:46)  How to use shame-based motivation to start a new fitness habit (and why you must switch motivation sources once your started) (37:39)  Why doom scrolling on social media during work will make your workout later in the day harder (and sometimes, impossible) (42:33)    Listen now!   Guest bio:   Dr. Anthony Balduzzi is a health and weight loss expert and the founder of Fit Father Project and Fit Mother Project - leading health & weight loss programs for busy men and women over 40. Dr. Balduzzi holds dual degrees in Nutrition & Neuroscience from the University of Pennsylvania, a Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine, and is a former national champion bodybuilder. Dr. Balduzzi is most proud of the fact that he's helped over 60,000 families in over 100 countries lose weight and get healthy through his Fit Father and Fit Mother Programs.   Resources mentioned in this episode:    1.

The vast majority of men with back pain, hip pain, and joint pain sit far too much on a daily basis. While sitting all day terrorizes your joints, there's another potential cause of stiffness:   Repetitive and constant movement.    Today's guest and Man Flow Yoga Member, John, works the night shift at H-E-B. His job requires him to move constantly (he gets 18,000 steps a day when he's working). And the constant, repetitive movements have unleashed pain, tightness, and stiffness on his back, hips, and joints.    John's big problem (which he didn't realize until after he joined Man Flow Yoga and dialed in his consistency) was that he never engaged his core prior to Man Flow Yoga.    But now?   Not only is nearly all his bodily pain gone completely, but he even helps his coworkers eliminate their pain - something he credits to my instructions when doing a Man Flow Yoga workout.    John's story proves that moving too much (but in the wrong ways) can also be as bad on your body as not moving at all.    Here's what else he shares in this episode:    How John motivates himself to workout even though he's a father of five who works the night shift  Why trying other types of yoga (that aren't Man Flow Yoga) can cause you to injure yourself  How community can improve your consistency more than perhaps anything else Other highlights from the show include:    How moving constantly for work is almost as bad for your back as sitting all day (1:20)  Why does Man Flow Yoga consistently outperform other styles of yoga for bodily pains? John explains at (12:07)  The absolute best Man Flow Yoga program for moving your body in all the ways you should move your body but don't (17:54)  Simple ways to incorporate your core into daily movements (and how this staves off back pain) (19:19)  How being consistent with Man Flow Yoga helps you eliminate pain for your family, friends, and coworkers (34:47)    Listen now!   Resources mentioned in this episode:    To quote John, "the best piece of advice I have for men who want to be healthier is to join Man Flow Yoga."    Start your 7-day free trial here: https://shrtlnk.co/kP8M7   
Figuring out which alternative therapies to fit into your already busy day, if any at all, can be overwhelming and confusing. Especially when marketing claims overexaggerate the benefits of alternative therapies and biohacking tools.    That's why I invited human performance specialist, Brian Mackenzie, back onto the show to help make sense of two strategies that are exploding in popularity:    Cold immersion & heat therapy.    While both benefit the human body, you only have a limited amount of time each day.    So, which one should you pick, if any at all?   In today's episode, Brian gives you the beginner's guide to cold immersion and heat therapy, answers which therapy is superior for your body, and  reminds you that fundamental things like sleep and movement are always more important than weird biohacks.    Brian also shares:    How both cold immersion & heat therapy benefit the body (and which one is superior if you're crunched on time)  Why it's easy to "dip your toes" into cold immersion & heat therapy without buying any external stuff  Why you should never use ice to heal an injury    Other highlights from the show include:    Why a human performance specialist doesn't recommend cold plunging to most people who already work out (2:34)  How ice actually inhibits the natural healing process, not accelerates it (this means that the RICE method to healing an injury is outdated too) (4:28)  How to start practicing cold immersion without buying a giant cold plunging tub or traveling anywhere other than your shower (14:22)  Why sleep quality is the anabolic steroid of non-anabolic steroid use (and how cold immersion helps with sleep more than any other benefit) (17:20)  What's more beneficial to the human body: Cold immersion or heat therapy? A human performance specialist answers here (31:53)  The weird way heat therapy mimics altitude training inside your body (33:27)  The best time to hop in a sauna to get the maximum performance benefits for your body (37:09)  Why movement is the most effective medicine for the healing process (and here's what that means in the context of rolling your ankle) (47:47)  Why the Marc Pro Electrical Muscle Stimulator plays a crucial role in recovering from a hip surgery (49:28)    Listen now!   Resources mentioned in this episode:    Your breath is the best indicator of how well you handle stress.

BMP-Ep140: Getting To Yes (Member Interview with Scott)  Years ago, today's guest Scott was overweight, crushed by so much pain that he had to "drink" painkillers doing construction work, and was never invited by his friends for fitness-related activities like backpacking.    But then, he had a few scary blood panel tests in a row… and completely changed his life.    First, he dialed in his nutrition and lost about 60 pounds. Then, he started using an Elliptical and doing Man Flow Yoga. And that quickly snowballed into weight lifting, running ultra races, doing obstacle course races, and rock climbing.   Today, Scott gets to say "yes" to almost any fitness-related activity he wants to do. He's currently trying to qualify for the Chicago Marathon, and he eventually wants to race a 100 miler.    And he's chock-full of wisdom whether you're just starting your fitness journey or you're looking for your next big challenge.    Here's what Scott shares in today's show:   How to conquer your fear of failure that can wreck your fitness goals before you even start Why it's so hard to make your mind see the current you instead of the past you  How to let go of feeling selfish when you make time for fitness    Other highlights from the show include:    The bulletproof "A for B" weight loss plan that creates better nutrition habits without starving yourself (and helped Scott lose 1-2 lbs per week over 6 months) (3:40)  How working in construction destroyed Scott's joints and shredded his knees… and how Man Flow Yoga helped him tie his shoes without a gameplan (7:30)  The weird psychological reason why spending money on your fitness automatically makes you more committed (11:24)  How a consistent yoga practice snowballed into weight training, running ultra races, obstacle course races, and rock climbing for Scott (even though he wasn't "into fitness" before he started yoga) (13:42)  Why Scott recommends every yoga beginner to record their early yoga workouts (especially if you struggle with motivation) (19:18)  How yoga helped Scott significantly reduce the amount of painkillers he took while working (24:52)  Why being an a calorie deficit can increase your injury risk (27:44)  The "failure is positive" mindset shift for celebrating your failures and growing from them (42:30)    Listen now!   Sign up for Man Flow Yoga below:    Tired of doing a form of yoga that causes more injuries than it helps prevent?

All humans have a psychological glitch that's detrimental to your health. It speeds up aging, makes the number on your scale tick up, and causes you to overlook the fundamental health truths that result in 90% of your health.    The glitch?    The complexity bias, which means that humans prefer the complex to the simple.    When it comes to your health, this explains you're naturally attracted to the latest biohacking technique instead of the "boring" fundamentals. Your brain is wired that way.    That's why I invited Dr. Steven Gabriel onto today's show. He spent 20 years working as an ER doctor and did his fellowship in anti-aging and regenerative medicine. Not only has he seen what disobeying the fundamental health truths does to your body and health, but he also talks in a way that makes simple and even obvious concepts actually "stick" in your psyche.     Or, in other words, he bypasses the complexity bias that makes health harder to achieve.     Dr. Gabriel and I cover a ton of bases in this episode including exercise, sleep, and nutrition. And he reveals the simplest ways to make aging optional by focusing on the few fundamental health truths.    Dr. Steven also shares:   How to improve your health today and tomorrow by acting more like a child  Why approaching your body like it's a car makes it easier to live healthier  Dr. Gabriel's almost-too-simple strategies for anti-aging (don't let the "complexity bias glitch" make you overlook and ignore the simplicity)    Other highlights from the show include:    An ER doctor explains how disease spreads its tentacles in your body decades before it manifests as symptoms (even for serious ones like heart attacks and dementia) (2:56)  The 6 "Elements of Life" that, once optimized, help you feel like you're 20 years old again (4:25)  How the natural isolation that happens as you grow older makes you age faster (6:22)  Have you been confused by the phrase "cellular optimization?" A doctor breaks down what this REALLY means at (9:36)  9 specific causes of aging for the human body and what you can do to slow it down (11:48)  The #1 healthiest thing you can do according to a physician with 20 years experience in an ER and who did his fellowship in anti-aging and regenerative medicine (23:48)  Why becoming breathless makes your body do everything better (28:14)  The scientific reason why the type of exercise you do does NOT matter (32:53)  The weird way eating every few hours stresses the body out (and why taking a break from eating, a la intermittent fasting, improves health in ways you might not realize) (37:09)  How to eat fewer lab-designed foods that hijack your taste buds and satiety signals by doing nothing other than listening to Dr. Garbiel speak at (41:02)  Why things grown in the ground like berries and veggies are the best foods to repair the body (they decrease oxidation, inflammation, the formation of cancers, and even help unclog arteries) (42:43)  The 4 Staples of Health according to an anti-aging doctor (48:51)    Listen now!   Resources mentioned on this episode:    1.
