Podcasts about Bodybuilding

Creatine is a hot subject right now, but I'm guessing you might not know as much about it as you could. Well step into a new creatine masterclass with our friends from Qualia. This episode shows you why it is not just for muscle, but one of the most powerful and well studied upgrades for brain energy, metabolism, sleep resilience, and long term human performance. You will learn how creatine supports mitochondria, buffers ATP, reduces cravings, and helps you think, train, and recover with more energy instead of relying on willpower. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Greg Kelly for a deep, practical masterclass on creatine and energy biology. Greg Kelly is a naturopathic physician, functional medicine expert, and longtime researcher in supplements and nootropics. He has spent decades studying creatine, mitochondrial function, cognition, and performance, and has contributed to peer reviewed research while working directly with athletes, clinicians, and high performers. Together, Dave and Greg break down how creatine works at the cellular level, why it matters for cognition, emotional regulation, and metabolism, and how it supports the brain and body during stress, sleep deprivation, dieting, and recovery. They explore neuroplasticity, ATP production, magnesium, methylation, and why energy availability drives discipline, focus, and resilience more effectively than willpower alone. They also explain why creatine matters for women, aging adults, and people dealing with fatigue or obesity, and how creatine supports brain function even when muscle mass is low. This conversation connects bodybuilding research with modern longevity science, nootropics, functional medicine, and sleep optimization. Dave and Greg also expose why creatine quality matters, how contaminants can impair mitochondrial function, why some products fail label claims, and how to choose forms that absorb better and cause less bloating. Practical strategies like dosing, timing, stacking with magnesium, and using creatine with hot coffee are all covered, including why Dave uses it with Danger Coffee as part of his Smarter Not Harder approach. You'll Learn: • Why creatine acts as an ATP buffer for both muscles and the brain • How mitochondria drive cognition, metabolism, and emotional regulation • The real dosing debate from low daily maintenance to higher cognitive doses • Why women often need more creatine than men • How creatine supports performance during sleep deprivation and sleep debt • The link between magnesium, creatine phosphate, and ATP production • How methylation and TMG relate to creatine synthesis and timing • Why creatine can reduce cravings by improving cellular energy • How low quality creatine and contaminants can damage mitochondrial function • When creatine matters most for longevity, resilience, and human performance Dave Asprey is a four time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

In this episode, I'm joined by fellow prep coach Jojo Hart (@ohhhjojo) for an honest, no-fluff conversation on our biggest competition hot takes as coaches who live and breathe the prep world.We dive into the real differences between big-name teams vs. solo coaches, the pros, cons, and what competitors actually need to consider when choosing a coach. We also talk about something that doesn't get enough attention in this industry: learning how to lose, navigating disappointment on stage, and why placing doesn't define your worth or success.Jojo and I also unpack the importance of developing a strong “why” behind stepping on stage, especially in a sport that can quickly blur the line between growth, validation, and burnout. This episode is for competitors who want to approach bodybuilding with more intention, maturity, and long-term perspective—both physically and mentally.Whether you're a first-time competitor or a seasoned athlete, this conversation will challenge how you think about prep, coaching, and success beyond the trophies.

Longevity science has been trying to unlock the mysteries of ageing for years; it's spawned a multi-billion dollar global industry of supplements, anti-ageing regimens, exercise, and more.

Men's health, fitness, and longevity deserve a deeper and more honest conversation. In this episode, I sit down with Christian Palmer, a veteran bodybuilder, coach, and long-time advocate for sustainable strength and health. Drawing from decades of experience in physique development and training, Palmer shares practical insights into how men can continue to build muscle, maintain performance, and adapt their approach as they age. Our conversation addresses common but often avoided issues in men's health, including sarcopenia and erectile dysfunction. Palmer explains why these are not isolated problems, but reflections of hormonal balance, metabolic health, and lifestyle habits. We discuss the importance of consistent resistance training, adequate protein intake, and strategic hormone management to preserve strength, energy, and physical independence over time. This episode reinforces a holistic, data-driven approach to men's wellness. Beyond workouts and nutrition, we explore the value of comprehensive blood work, understanding biomarkers, and using objective data to guide decisions. Palmer emphasizes that thriving with age requires more than effort in the gym. It requires awareness, intention, and a commitment to long-term healthspan.   Key takeaways: Addressing Men's Health Concerns: Acknowledging and tackling issues like erectile dysfunction and cardiovascular health can lead to significant long-term benefits. Building and Maintaining Muscle Mass: Engaging in resistance training and focusing on compound movements is crucial for combating age-related muscle loss. Navigating Aging as an Opportunity: By understanding sarcopenia, men can leverage resistance training and proper nutrition to remain healthy and active well into their later years. Optimizing Health through Blood Work: Regular testing of biomarkers can provide critical insights that help improve lifestyle and health decisions. The Role of Testosterone: Understanding and managing testosterone levels through professional guidance can profoundly impact men's health and energy levels. More About Christian Palmer:   Christian helps men reignite their vigor, build unshakable confidence, and become the strongest version of themselves through getting lean, building muscle and conquering nutrition. With over a decade and a half of coaching and hundreds of client transformations, he specializes in guiding men to get lean, build muscle, optimize hormones, and overcome challenges like diabetes, low testosterone, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and digestive issues. His passion for men's health began when his mother was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. After helping her lose weight, reverse her condition, and eliminate the need for insulin, he committed his life to empowering others through nutrition and strength. During his years at Equinox, Christian coached countless men over 40 who battled low energy, joint pain, diminished confidence, and the pressure of providing for their families. Helping them reclaim their edge inspired him to launch Relentless Fitness and Nutrition. Bodybuilding is Christian's personal standard of excellence. It's his way of pushing his own limits and embodying the discipline and resilience that he helps men forge in their own lives. His journey serves as a model for clients who want to become the badass 2.0 version of themselves. Christian's mission is simple: help men build a body they're proud of, lead their families with strength, and live with the confidence of a man who refuses to settle.

In this episode, I sit down with THE industry's photographer Mario Wilkinson to talk about what the camera actually captures, and what athletes are really living through behind the scenes.Mario has photographed everyone from first-time competitors to Olympia-level athletes, and his perspective is rare: he sees the peak moments, the crashes after the stage lights turn off, and the emotional patterns that repeat backstage year after year.We talk about:The difference between athletes who are grounded in their process vs. chasing validationWhat bodybuilding photos don't show about pressure, comparison, and mental healthHow social media has changed the way athletes see themselvesThe emotional cost of being judged on stage, online, and internallyWhy photos matter in the off-season — not just at your “best”What longevity in bodybuilding actually looks like (and who tends to last)This isn't a highlight-reel conversation. It's an honest look at identity, discipline, image, and what it really means to pursue physique goals without losing yourself in the process.Whether you're a competitor, coach, creative, or someone navigating comparison culture in fitness — this episode will make you think differently about the photos you see and the stories you tell yourself.Connect with Mario: Instagram / TikTok / Facebook: @mwilk.media https://www.instagram.com/mwilk.media@shotby.wilkhttps://www.instagram.com/shotby.wilkIf this episode resonates, subscribe to the channel and share it with someone who needs a more grounded perspective on fitness, bodybuilding, and self-trust.Find me on IG: ⁠⁠@noamccabe_ifbbpro⁠⁠.BEcoming Relentless IG: ⁠@becomingrelentless_⁠.If you are interested in working with me, I am looking for new athletes, general lifestyle clients, and contest prep competitors.

A surprise not-totally-festive edition of Radio Clash, where I talk about a bird I think about a lot (the lost Kauaʻi ʻōʻō bird – apologies for the transliteration but those special symbols will likely gum up the works in the feed and tags) and what Christmas means to me now… I play some new and old mashups and original music – some of which is my favourites of the year, but mostly older since I don’t listen to music in the same way anymore. Loving the new Saint Etienne and Lily Allen albums though, and K-Pop Demon Hunters (DERPY 4EVAH!) and new-ish music from B. Dolan, Hallmighty and Lankum. Buckingham Nicks album gets a timely re-release (are they talking again?) so talk about that and the legendary Coffee Plant demos – and visit Aidan Moffat and RM Hubbert’s Christmas Ghost Stories album…and play the last of my choices from Tom Rasmussen’s amazing Body Building album. And some festive? festering? tracks that have been on ice stuck at the North Pole since Xmas two years ago. Joy to the world and all that, there’s a theme about wanting 2026 to be a lot less shit…but not that hopeful, concentrating on what Xmas is supposed to be about, rather than all the capitalism, food and tradition.

This week on Serving Sundays: is it a "Wind Chill" or a "Windshield" factor? Candace isn't entirely sure, but she is sure about her attire, broadcasting comfortably in her robe while Dave stays formal in a tie.The episode takes a nostalgic turn when listeners Mike and Ike call in with a story about a Machine Gun Kelly concert in Calgary, sparking a fiery conversation about the absurdity of modern ticket prices and the "dynamic pricing" scam. But the real fireworks begin when Dave tries to reminisce about taking Candace to her very first concert to see Reba McEntire. In a shocking twist, Candace denies the event ever happened, demanding photographic proof and leaving Dave wondering if she's been living a lie.Later, the mood shifts from repressed memories to sparkling futures as Candace unboxes her official "Cinderella" competition heels. The couple discusses the confusing judging criteria of fitness competitions, the reality of working 12-hour shifts, and the thrill of finding high-end gym gear at the thrift store. Tune in to find out if Candace really saw Reba, or if her family imagined the whole thing!Support the showFollow us on social media: Dave Wheeler Candace Rae

Their conversation takes a personal turn with Brandon sharing what he has done over this N orthern Hemisphere summer to get shredded, how he has leveraged his model of high energy flux in a fat loss phase to get the most out of his food and his training, the foods that he chose, supplements he takes and how he implemented rapid fat loss days (aka protein sparing days) to accelerate loss - and his approach when things got tough. Brandon normally regales us with the literature and client stories but today it is a mix of his personal practices and how this has been informed by his understanding of the research. Such a great opportunity to hear how the pros do it.Brandon DaCruz at his website https://www.brandondacruzfit.com/, and on Instagram @brandondacruz_Chasing Clarity https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep-112-spot-reduction-is-it-possible-to-lose-body-fat/id1619611966?i=1000657394910Brandon DaCruz is an online nutrition and physique coach and sports nutritionist. He's also a National Level NPC physique competitor and an internationally published fitness model who's written articles and filmed educational content for publications like Men's Fitness Magazine and Bodybuilding.com. Brandon has spent over 13 years  working within the sports nutrition and fitness industries and has coached every type of client including Olympia Level professional men's physique competitors, college athletes, MMA fighters, CrossFit competitors, and lifestyle clients. He believes in blending what's been proven in the research with his own anecdotal and first hand "in the trenches'' experience to improve body composition, optimise performance and enhance health in order to help his clients achieve their goals whether that be building muscle, losing body fat, increasing performance and/or optimising health and longevity. This is what he refers to as his health-centric coaching model as he believes that improving one's health is the cornerstone to optimising their physical goals. https://podcast.mikkiwilliden.com/270https://podcast.mikkiwilliden.com/226 https://podcast.mikkiwilliden.com/300 https://podcast.mikkiwilliden.com/368 https://podcast.mikkiwilliden.com/416  Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwilliden
