In this episode, I explain why trading card collectors already have the mindset to crush it in fitness—they just don't realise it yet. From patience and consistency to tracking and long-term thinking, collectors already live by the same principles that build a strong, lean body.

In the fitness industry, it is common to be exposed to goals and marketing around weight loss or muscle gain in isolation. This episode is a discussion around body recomposition, being, achieving both of those goals at once. We speak about the importance of using metrics that are exclusive of scale weight, as the scales can be influenced by a variety of factors. We also expand on ideas of where people go wrong in their health and fitness journey, including goal nutrition, training, recovery and expectations.

“I still cannot believe this is my body and that at 60, I can still do this.” That's a quote from Agostina, who on today's episode shares her journey of getting into the best shape of her life at 61 years young. She thought her chance to achieve her dream body had passed and when she hit 60, she thought, “If not now, then when will I do it?” And six months later, she's in the best shape of her life. She has completed a photo shoot and she now gets daily compliments from friends, colleagues, and even strangers at the supermarket on her brand new physique. Agostina's pictures, if you've not seen them, are an amazing example of body recomposition done at its absolute best. You can check it out on the podcast thumbnail that you may be listening to this on, or go on the case study on the website or across our social media. They are very, very impressive. Previously, she tried gyms, challenges, training, she tried all sorts of different things, but at 60, she decided to take seriously and go all in on the RNT transformation journey.

Most people think they know what to do to get in shape — they just aren't doing it. But what if what you “knew” wasn't actually true? In this episode, Nate Palmer pulls back the curtain on one of the biggest myths in fitness: that you have to choose between building muscle and losing fat. You'll learn why most programs sabotage results by raising stress and depleting energy — and how small, smart shifts can make your body want to change. Nate reveals the 3 hidden pillars behind predictable body recomposition: Top End Failure Training — how to trigger muscle growth without crushing your body. Energy-First Fat Loss — the nutrition framework that keeps you energized, full, and fat-adapted. Getting Under the Stress Ceiling — the recovery system that unlocks fat loss and muscle gain simultaneously. By the end, you'll understand why it's not about doing more — it's about doing the right things in the right order. Key Takeaways: Most people fail to see results because they're following the wrong system, not because they lack willpower. Body recomposition is predictable when you train with precision, fuel for energy, and recover intentionally. You don't have to sacrifice your energy or lifestyle to transform your body — you just have to stop fighting your biology.

See all the Healthcasts at https://www.biobalancehealth.com/healthcast-blog When I go to Fitness Edge, the place I have worked out with weights twice a week for 38 years, I know I am increasing my muscle mass and my metabolism for the next 72 hours…that's right, after just an hour of lifting weights, my body burns more calories over the next 3 days. Lifting weights not only increases muscle mass, strength and is the key element in weight loss, because it raises resting metabolism throughout the day, even while you are sleeping. As long as I have been a physician, we always knew that exercise was important to health, but not until recently did medicine did not know WHY exercise is so important, and WHAT type of exercise is the most important to healthy aging. Recently the research has exploded with research that supports the metabolic truth that muscle mass, and resistance exercise (weight training, training with bands, calisthenics) is necessary for health and longevity! Even though this is a complicated science that is primarily addressed to professional athletes, there are several discoveries that everyone can understand and employ in their quest for a long and healthy life. Muscle Mass, Percent Body fat and Exercising Your total weight doesn't matter as much as your total muscle mass and percent body fat. So, the amount of muscle you have compared to the amount of fat is the key to metabolic health. Muscle burns calories and decreases blood sugar, while fat is metabolically inactive. However, the amount of muscle you have isn't as important as how often you use your muscles against gravity. That is what weight training is: lifting weights against gravity, using barbells, free weights, resistance bands or Nautilus-type machines. Muscle Is the Major Site of Glucose uptake The more muscle you have, and the more you exercise them the more blood sugar is metabolized into energy. Your muscles soak up glucose from the blood for 120 minutes after weight training, and insulin sensitivity increases for 16 hours after exercise. Metabolic stimulation continues for 72 hours. Those people with less muscle who don't exercise use extra glucose to make fat. Body Composition is Improved with Weight Training Body composition can be measured with our InBody Machine. We follow each of our patient's body composition instead of just getting a weight. We find that when measuring our patient's progress, the percent body fat inversely relates to their Basal Metabolic Rate. In other words, the lower the body fat percentage, the higher the metabolic rate. The higher the body fat %, the lower the number of calories that patient burns at rest. For example, a woman with 40% body fat, depending on her height, burns about 1,100 calories over 24 hours when at rest. If the same woman achieves the ideal percent body fat with medical dieting and achieves less than 26% body fat, she will increase her BMI to over 1,400 calories/ day at rest. Weight training alone will increase muscle mass and decrease fat with the outcome of increasing basal metabolic rate, so she will burn her calories instead of storing them as fat. In short, weight training to increase muscle mass will decrease body fat and improve metabolic health. Weight Training Can Reverse the Loss of Muscle that Comes with Aging The above statement is a tricky statement. Women can exercise with weights their whole life and maintain a healthy body composition until they turn 45, then weight training just can't do the job without adding testosterone pellets. It is the magic of testosterone pellets—Testosterone PLUS Weight Training increases and sustains muscle mass. “I have worked out with weights since my residency when I was 28 yo. I realized that because I was 5-3 and 118 lbs, I would not be strong enough to do my job, delivering babies, operating and lifting patients on and off the table. I began with a Nautilus circuit followed by 10 minutes on the treadmill 2-3 times a week. After I delivered my daughter, Rachel, I was 31 and I started training with a trainer because to get y body and strength back, I needed someone to make me accountable and to guide me to gaining strength where I needed it. I have lifted weights 2-3 times a week ever since at my training facility, Fitness Edge, across the street from my current medical office. As of last week my body fat is 19%, and my weight is now 113. I have shrunk a bit and am now 5-2. When I go to the Fitness Edge with my husband, John, I notice that many of the hardest working “fellow exercisers” never change their body composition. I would love to tell my fellow lifters that working out with weights is only part of the program to becoming strong and building good muscle mass. The fact is they need to increase their testosterone level if they are over 40 for females and 50 for males, to improve their muscle mass and decrease body fat, and their hard work will be repaid with visible, stronger muscles, Fat loss and improved and metabolism.” Dr. Maupin's Formula for Building Muscle after age 40: Weight Training 2-3 times a week Testosterone Pellet treatment in women over 40 and men over 50 Diet must include the number of grams of protein equal to your weight Low carb high protein/healthy fat diet Eliminate food with preservatives, canned food and processed food. Eat whole/fresh foods. Supplement with Creatine (if your kidneys are healthy), Arginine, Vitamin D, E, K and Vitamin C, multi vitamin with Methyl B12 and Methyl Folate, Probiotics, Magnesium 400-800 mg/day, Protein powder without Soy. Water consumption in oz = to ½-1x your weight in pounds If I have convinced you to start using weights regularly, here are the variety of types of resistance training that will build muscle and improve metabolism. Must exercise for 50 minutes at one time per day. Resistance Band Work Outs- you can do anywhere even at home. Body weight exercises like squats, push-ups, lunges, planks Free weights using dumbbells, kettle balls, bars Weight Machines that target one muscle group at a time. Now I Can Almost Hear Half of You Asking What About Aerobic Exercise? My best friend is a runner, and she has run marathons for decades, and now in her 60s, she is still fit and healthy without joint damage. Most of her fellow runners don't know that she also lifts weights to keep her in the running game…and she takes testosterone pellets. Most runners are fit and have strong hearts, but their muscle mass is not always robust. Cardio-exercises can improve cardiovascular health and burn calories during the activity itself. Strength Training builds muscle mass which has a long-term effect on the metabolism.If nothing else, I hope you are inspired to initiate a resistance training program to benefit your metabolism now and for your longevity in the future. YOU CAN DO IT!

In this week's episode, we're re-airing one of our top episodes with Stacy Sims, MSC, PhD, a forward-thinking international exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist who aims to revolutionize exercise nutrition and performance for women. Have you ever wondered why one week you feel like you're crushing it in the gym, and the next you just don't have the energy? Newsflash: women are NOT small men. Our hormones fluctuate throughout the month, which has subtle (and sometimes obvious) impacts on every area of our lives—including exercise.In this episode you'll learn: * Exercise myths that need to be busted* If women really need to cycle sync their workouts* What women need to know about cold therapy* How to know if you're eating enough* Why creatine isn't just for gym bros* And more…Dr. Stacy has directed research programs at Stanford, AUT University, and the University of Waikato, focusing on female athlete health and performance and pushing the dogma to improve research on all women. She has published over 70 peer-reviewed papers, several books and is a regularly featured speaker at professional and academic conferences, including those by USOC and USA Cycling.With the unique opportunities, Silicon Valley has to offer, during her tenure at Stanford, she had the opportunity to translate earlier research into consumer products and a science-based layperson's book, Roar, written to explain sex differences in training and nutrition across the lifespan. Both the consumer products and the book challenged the existing dogma for women in exercise, nutrition, and health. This paradigm shift is the focus of her famous "Women Are Not Small Men” TEDx talk.This episode is brought to you by beeya: * Learn more about beeya's seed cycling bundle at https://beeyawellness.com/free to find out how to tackle hormonal imbalances. * Get $10 off your order by using promo code BEHINDHEREMPIRE10Follow Yasmin: * Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yasminknouri/* Stay updated & subscribe to our newsletter: https://www.behindherempire.com/Follow Dr. Stacy: * Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drstacysims/* Website: https://www.drstacysims.com/ Hosted on Acast.

Growing up in sport, this week's guest was often told her body wasn't “right”—too muscular, not tall enough, never thin enough—and those messages followed her into adulthood through the pressures of work, marriage, motherhood, and loss. Her turning point came in a hotel gym, where she discovered the power of fueling well, eating enough protein, and lifting heavy. What began as a shift from self-medicating with alcohol to self-empowering with weights eventually led her to bodybuilding, a sport that both celebrates and sometimes complicates women's bodies. We dig into how eating more can transform health and performance, what it really takes to step on stage, how perimenopause shows up with rage, panic, and fatigue, and why muscle is the “metabolic 401k” every woman needs. This is a conversation about rewriting the script—replacing “small and skinny” with “strong and powerful”—and embracing the bodies we were meant to have. You can learn more about her work at AnneMarieChaker.comAnne Marie Chaker is a veteran journalist and professional bodybuilder. During her two-decade career at The Wall Street Journal, she held reporting jobs all over the paper, from the Journal's regional editions to the Spot News Desk during the September 11 attack. She has covered everything from politics to news events, consumer trends, education, the workplace, and the major sociological shifts of our time. Chaker lives in the Washington, D.C., area with her partner, Rick; daughters Juliette and Sylvie; and their overeager pup, Ninja. Her latest book is LIFT: How Women Can Reclaim Their Physical Power and Transform Their Lives.

Think lifting 5-pound dumbbells counts as strength training? Think again. In this episode of The Wellness Effect, we're busting myths about resistance training and diving deep into why building muscle is about so much more than looking good in a bikini. From the lymphatic drainage benefits you never knew about to why your future 80-year-old self will thank you for starting today, we unpack the real reasons strength training should be non-negotiable in every woman's routine. Whether you're scared of getting "bulky," stuck in the cardio-only trap, or just need motivation to pick up heavier weights, this conversation will shift your entire perspective on what it means to truly take care of your body. In this episode, you'll hear: Why challenging yourself with proper weight is essential - and how to know if you're actually strength training or just moving light objects around The lymphatic drainage connection that most people miss (spoiler: your body doesn't have a pump for this crucial detox system) How muscle literally acts as your metabolic bank account - and why deposits matter more than you think The shocking statistic about osteoporosis that should make every woman rethink their workout routine Why resistance training beats cardio for long-term fat loss and metabolic health The nervous system benefits that help you handle life's stressors better How to navigate strength training during different phases of healing and hormonal changes The fertility and hormone regulation benefits that go way beyond aesthetics Key Takeaways: One in two women will develop osteoporosis - but resistance training builds the bone density that can prevent it Your muscle burns calories for up to 72 hours after strength training, while cardio stops burning calories the moment you step off the treadmill The "failure" you experience in the gym teaches mental resilience that transfers to every area of life Recommended Episodes: PCOS & Hormonal Imbalance: Understanding the Real Root Cause and What to Do About It Nutrition Basics for Women: A Beginner's Guide to Macros, Calories & Healthy Eating Want more from us?

This episode breaks down groundbreaking research on hyper-caloric 16:8 time-restricted eating during 8 weeks of resistance training, proving you can build muscle and get stronger while maintaining an intermittent fasting lifestyle. Dr. Scott and Tommy analyze a study comparing fasted vs fed workout groups, revealing that the time-restricted eating group gained 50% more muscle mass (2.67kg vs 1.82kg) while gaining significantly less fat (0.26kg vs 1.67kg) even in a caloric surplus. Discover why fasted training leads to superior body composition changes - more muscle growth with minimal fat gain - making it ideal for physique-focused goals and maintenance phases. Learn the trade-offs: while the fed group showed slightly better strength gains (particularly in squat performance), the fasted group achieved the same total weight lifted with fewer reps, suggesting greater training efficiency. The hosts explain why this matters for long-term fasting lifestyle success, especially for those reaching maintenance goals who want to continue improving body composition without regaining weight. Get practical strategies for timing workouts with eating windows, understanding the adaptation period for fasted training, and choosing between performance-focused vs body composition-focused approaches. This episode provides evidence-based guidance for combining resistance training with intermittent fasting, showing that you don't have to sacrifice muscle building for fat loss - you can optimize both simultaneously with proper timing and nutrition strategies.

With 20 years of clinical experience in women's physical and mental health, Dr. Lovely pulled back the curtain on Musculoskeletal Syndrome of Menopause (MSM)—a debilitating but rarely discussed condition tied to estrogen loss. Here are the key insights from their conversation. Highlights from the interview: MSM affects 71% of women, yet remains underdiagnosed, with symptoms like joint stiffness, bone density loss, and declining muscle mass. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is protective: Bioidentical progesterone (key for nerve messages to the brain and back) and estradiol reduce pain, improve bone density, and preserve muscle. Protein is a game-changer: Most women eat only 55–75g/day, but keeping protein consumption optimal stabilizes blood sugar, and fights sarcopenia. Movement is non-negotiable: Resistance training and balance exercises (like single-leg stands) prevent falls and cognitive decline—even 60-second movement breaks boost metabolism. Doctor advocacy tips: Ask specifically for contemporary HRT like bioidentical progesterone and topical estrogen, and reference Dr. Vonda Wright's MSM research if met with resistance. Whether you're experiencing MSM, navigating menopause, or facing other health challenges at midlife, this conversation is an invitation to listen inward. The hidden pain of musculoskeletal changes asks us to honor our bodies with better nutrition, intentional movement, and empowered healthcare choices. Dr. Lovely's insights remind us that healing begins when we trust our symptoms as messengers—not enemies—and have the courage to advocate for treatments that align with our biological truth. This is more than a discussion about hormones and joints—it's about reclaiming agency. When we understand the science behind our pain, we transform fear into action. When we prioritize protein and strength, we rewrite the narrative of decline. And when we speak up in our doctor's office, we honor the wisdom of our bodies in a medical system that often dismisses women's pain. The path through menopause isn't about passive acceptance—it's about meeting your body with curiosity, compassion, and the conviction that you deserve solutions.

Can sugar actually help you burn fat? In episode 802 of the Savage Perspective Podcast, host Robert Sikes is joined by Mark Bell to explore the surprising science behind sugar diets, fat loss, and metabolism. Mark goes against what's normally talked about on the podcast, sharing insights on how carbohydrates, when approached strategically, can influence hormones, energy, and overall fat burning. This episode dives deep into the idea that being open-minded and experimenting with your diet, whether it's high sugar, low protein, or high fat, high protein, can lead to better, more sustainable results. Robert and Mark also discuss why one-size-fits-all diets don't work and how understanding your individual needs is key to making real progress.

If you've ever hesitated to lift heavier or commit to strength training because you were worried about looking “too big” or “too masculine,” this episode is going to shift your entire perspective. Spoiler: muscle is not the enemy. It's your secret weapon. What I discuss: Why muscle is actually what gives your body the shape, definition, and curves you're after The real science behind muscle growth and why women don't “bulk up” like men How muscle supports your metabolism, your confidence, and your long-term health Why the fear of getting bulky is rooted in outdated myths—not facts This episode is your permission slip to train smarter, lift heavier, and finally let go of the fear that strength isn't feminine.
