Ep 67: In this Q&A episode, I'm answering some of your questions that seem to be coming from women who are training smart, eating intentionally, and still feeling a little stuck. If you've ever wondered how to *pause* those upper body gains, how you can break through a fat loss plateau without eating less, or whether it's okay to rely on protein bars and shakes for daily protein intake — this one's for you.I also dig into how to increase fiber without going carb-crazy, and how long it really takes to see results from creatine.

SummaryIn this Coaches Roundtable Q&A episode, Chase and Chris dive into real questions from their Facebook community and clients. They talk a lot about how to deal with health changes when your family isn't on the same page. They also talk about how to know if you're doing the right amount of workouts and nutrition, and how to balance protein and fiber in your meals.

On this week's episode of the podcast, the Mafia sits down with Gerry DeFilippo to discuss strength training and building muscle. Gerry is a world-class strength and performance coach who has helped hundreds of athletes reach their athletic potential.

In this episode, I'm diving into 2 questions submitted by listeners. First up: is your metabolism actually slowing down when you hit a plateau during a diet?  I'm breaking down what metabolic adaptation really is, how fast it kicks in, what signs to watch for, and how to work with your body—not against it. Then we're tackling strength training with limited equipment:  Can you really build muscle using just dumbbells? Spoiler: yes… but there's a catch. I'll walk you through how to keep progressing with what you've got, when it might be time to upgrade your setup, and why adding equipment isn't essential—but will take your gains to the next level. Whether you're trying to lose fat, build muscle, or just feel stronger in your body, this episode is packed with honest, actionable advice you can actually use.

In the past, you've heard me talk about the epidemic of body dysmorphia which is spreading like wildfire thanks to social media. Body dysmorphia is defined as a mental disorder marked by an overwhelming and all-consuming preoccupation with a perceived flaw in one's appearance. One new subset is what's called muscle dysmorphia, a belief that one's body is too small, too skinny, and not muscular enough. This has also been called bigorexia, megarexia, and reverse anorexia. Mental health and medical experts are now warning that this is the latest eating disorder affecting our teens, as more and more teenagers, particularly our boys, are struggling with bigorexia. Much of this is being fueled by the presence of social media and the comparison it fosters, while promoting muscularity as a measure of one's value. We must help our kids understand that their identity is not to be found in what they look like. Rather, it's the value they already have in God's eyes that counts.

In this engaging conversation, Ruby Cherie and Sarah Carne delve into the complexities of body transformation, emphasizing the importance of building muscle before focusing on fat loss. They discuss the common obsession with scale weight among women and how it can hinder progress.

Nutrient density is crucial for body transformation.• Building muscle can significantly improve skin and overall appearance.• Mindset plays a vital role in dieting and health.• Alcohol consumption can hinder fitness progress.• It's important to focus on habits that support aging gracefully.• Personalized coaching is more effective than group programs.• Consistency in training is key, even with limited time.• Mental audits can help identify unhealthy dieting patterns.• Building muscle should be prioritized as we age.• Healthy habits should be treated as essential as brushing teeth.Sound Bites"The body that you want takes way longer to build.""Most women refuse to be patient.""The scale is huge for most women.""You can't just gain 10 pounds and do nonchalant training.""You need to be in a building phase.""You need to continue lifting to keep what's there.""Muscles let go of this thing called myoclines.""If you build the muscle under there, that's gonna push up.""It's generational, and kids pick up on things.""You can't want the outcome without the habits.""You have to mentally take the reprieve.""You need to take a mental audit.""You can't think about it even outside of coaching.""Step away from fat loss for a while, build your physique."Chapters00:00Introduction to Body Transformation Goals02:54The Importance of Building Muscle First06:09The Scale Obsession and Its Impact on Women09:00Chasing Numbers: The Misconception of Weight Loss11:48Performance Over Aesthetics: Shifting Mindsets15:04The Reality of Building Muscle and Fat Loss Phases17:52Training Intensity and Recovery: Key to Muscle Growth21:11Understanding Body Composition Changes24:01The Long-Term Journey of Body Transformation35:18Nutrient Density and Body Transformation40:21The Role of Muscle in Health and Aesthetics46:32Mindset and the Dieting Mentality52:05Essential Habits for Aging Gracefully01:01:05The Importance of Personalized Coaching

In this episode, we dive deep into the science of muscle protein synthesis (MPS) and why it's a game-changer as we age. Muscle is more than just a strength factor—it's our metabolic organ of longevity. Whether you're a man or a woman in midlife, maintaining muscle mass is crucial for protecting your bones, metabolism, brain, immune system, and skin. What You'll Learn in This Episode: What is Muscle Protein Synthesis (MPS)? A closer look at the biological process that helps build and repair muscle tissue, and how this process can impact your aging process. Why Muscle Matters for Longevity: Muscle is a powerhouse organ that plays a critical role in metabolism, bone health, and brain function. As we age, muscle loss accelerates, making it more important than ever to prioritize muscle health for aging gracefully. The Impact of Aging on Muscle Health: How aging affects muscle mass, and why women, especially in midlife, need to focus on building and maintaining muscle to safeguard their health. Protein Requirements by Age and Gender: Understanding how much protein you need to support MPS as you age. Why women, in particular, need more protein to combat sarcopenia (muscle loss) during menopause. How to Stimulate Muscle Protein Synthesis: Effective strategies for stimulating MPS, including optimal protein intake, strength training, and other lifestyle factors.

In this episode, I sit down with fitness and nutrition coach Kylie Larson to talk about one of the most overlooked issues women face as they age—being undermuscled. We dive deep into why muscle is essential for metabolic health, hormone balance, and longevity, especially during perimenopause. Kylie shares exactly how women in their 30s, 40s, and 50s can strength train effectively, how much protein we really need, and how to overcome the mindset blocks that keep us stuck. If you're feeling softer, more tired, frustrated with your body, or want to preserve your health for decades to come, this conversation will teach you what to do.    Kylie's Instagram Ali's Resources:  Calm the Chaos: Practical Tips and Tools for Stopping Anxiety in It's Tracks Course!

I have a great discussion to share with you from Philip Pape, the host of the Wits and Weights podcast. I had the pleasure of joining him on his show, and he was a really sharp guy with some nice, focused, and quantified insights about how to lose excess body fat the right way. If you visit witsandweights.com, you'll see some nice free offerings of his free metabolic assessment, nutrition coaching, nutrition guides, and some great content at the Wits and Weights podcast. In this episode, you will hear us discuss the fitness industry, what he's doing, and the always popular topic of trying to drop excess body fat. Phillip stated what I believe to be a life changing insight about weight loss by saying: it all starts with strength training. You have to work on building muscle in order to succeed, even with dietary transition, because if you don't, you're going to fall into old habits—you're going to get hungry, you're going to want to chomp on something. As you will learn in this show, when you start working hard on strength and resistance training, you are going to have muscles actively taking glucose in from the bloodstream and replenishing the larger muscle, the more muscle mass that you build, as well as recovering from the workouts where you are burning glucose in the workout, burning glycogen, and then replenishing stored glycogen. What an interesting and very simple takeaway—that it's not just about locking in on your diet, watching your portion sizes, and all the things that we've been programmed for so long to think is the main starting point to getting the physique that you dream of. It starts with hard work and pumping the iron. We also have a fascinating conversation in the middle where we talk about this theme that I've talked about on the podcast often—the fully fueled approach to fitness and longevity, where you're eating more food, moving more frequently, recovering faster, and living longer. This topic came up as Phillip was describing a gaining phase that he goes through in his training where he's doing some strenuous workouts, the hypertrophy style workout, and deliberately and systematically consuming more calories over a sustained period of time, whether it's a month or six weeks. And during that time period, what a surprise!—he has more energy, he's more active, he’s tapping his foot more at his desk and feeling great and recovering and building muscle. So I think it's a nice reflection on the importance of fueling yourself with natural, nutrient dense food exclusively, and then getting to work and working those muscles. That is the path to not only getting off that stubborn, excess body fat that might have been sitting there even when you're doing hard work on your diet, but to opening a new portal and exposing yourself to new possibilities. Enjoy this show with weight loss and fat reduction body composition expert Philip Pap of the Wits and Weights podcast. TIMESTAMPS: Philip Pape talks about the best way to lose weight is with strength training. [00:56] When you start the program with Philip, you start with self-awareness of how much you are eating, what you’re eating, the composition of there food and the movement and the training you are already doing. [08:41] What is the muscle centric approach? Burning calories is not the best way to lose weight.[11:14] What is the biggest offense to healthy living and longevity? [16:05] When you have a lot of muscle mass on your body, or you're stimulating the muscles in aworkout, the glucose is going into the muscle to refuel and replenish. [19:34] How’s it that a person can have good muscle mass but still need to lose weight? [21:52] Philip explains how and why he purposely gains weight as he is trying to put on more muscle. [23:22] The consumption of more calories is fueling a more ambitious training regimen. [31:37] How does one deal with the struggle of reducing excess body fat when they have been “doing all the right things?” [37:17] Steady state cardio is touted for weight loss. How does that compare to lifting and just moving more every day? ? [40:13] How important is the HRV monitor? [56:35] Just getting started, you don’t have to have a big gym-full of equipment.

Can you build muscle naturally as you age? In this week's Fitness Friday episode, I talk with fitness expert Kris Gethin, as he reveals that declining testosterone may be the hidden culprit behind your struggle to maintain muscle mass after 40. Most middle-aged fitness enthusiasts who maintain impressive physiques rely heavily on hormone replacement therapy (HRT), but Kris shares a completely natural approach that works. We discuss surprising testosterone-killers lurking in your daily environment—from cooking with Teflon to the metal fillings in your teeth—and provide practical, scientifically-backed strategies to boost your hormone production naturally. We also dive into cutting-edge biohacking techniques like red light therapy, ice baths, and even how dental work dramatically improved Kris's own hormone levels after suffering from long COVID.  Kris Gethin, a renowned transformation expert and entrepreneur, has revolutionized the fitness industry with his no-nonsense, results-driven approach to bodybuilding and coaching. As the founder of Unmatched Supps and former CEO of Kaged Muscle, he has established himself as a pioneering force in the supplement industry while developing the innovative DTP (Dramatic Transformation Principle) training method. Through his podcast, he shares evidence-based fitness insights with a global audience, drawing from his extensive experience coaching elite athletes and celebrities. What we discuss:  Natural testosterone optimization vs. HRT dependency  Environmental testosterone killers  Compound exercises that stimulate hormone production Red light therapy benefits and application techniques How ice baths and saunas can elevate testosterone levels Unexpected connection between dental health and hormone production Natural alternatives to Ozempic and GLP-1 medications for fat loss Supplements that support testosterone (vitamin D with K2, creatine, progesterone, DHEA) Blood sugar stabilization techniques for maintaining muscle and losing fat Thank you to our sponsor: AquaTru: Get 20% off any purifier at aquatru.com with code HUSTLE Therasage: Head over to therasage.com and use code Be Bold for 15% off  TruNiagen: Head over to truniagen.com and use code HUSTLE20 to get $20 off any purchase over $100.
