Podcasts about building muscle

So we know we need a calorie deficit to lose weight.We also know that you can make any food fit and still lose weight if the calories are correctly controlled.But should you? Just because you can do?That is the question not many ask and one that provides an additional layer of context to a commonly overly simplified area of nutrition. In this episode, I explain the nuance of flexible dieting and making any foods fit, with a consideration for the bigger nutrition picture. DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is for guidance only and is not individualised advice for you!

You can build strong bones and muscles as you age without eating meat or dairy foods.

Episode 3412: Dr. Neal Malik explores the risks of “bulking up” by overeating before building muscle, explaining why rapidly gaining fat may make long-term weight management harder. Drawing on research around fat cells, set point theory, and muscle growth, he offers a smarter approach focused on nutrient-dense foods, hydration, and sustainable strength gains without unnecessary fat accumulation. Quotes to ponder: "Imagine your body has its own internal thermostat  instead of this thermostat controlling your body temperature it controls your body weight."

You should be drinking hot water. You should be drinking cool water. You shouldn't be drinking this water, why are you drinking that water?So much confusion and overthinking on the most seemingly simple part of nutrition…Hydration!More specifically, there has been this recent push for drinking of hot water (or warm water really), in the mornings to help aid in some health benefits. But how true is this? Is it really better than cold water drinking?In this episode, I explain the basics around what the science really says (or doesn't say)  about the question of hot water vs cold water for health, digestion, and results. DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is for guidance only and is not individualised advice for you!

If you feel like you're doing everything right—eating less, trying to move more—but the scale isn't budging… there's a reason. In this follow-up episode, I break down one of the biggest takeaways from my conversation with Dr. Luke: why building and preserving muscle is key to your metabolism, energy, and long-term health. We'll talk about why eating less isn't always the answer, how muscle impacts fat loss, and what's really happening in your body as you age. I'll also walk you through simple mindset shifts and practical ways to start focusing on strength instead of just the scale.

So many people use food tracking apps such as Cronometer, My Fitness Pal, and others.With this comes an overall, overrealiance on these apps and taking all the info it provides as absolute truth.This isn't quite so, so we need to unpack this and explain the truth about how to properly use food tracker apps if you are relying on them for your calorie calculation and tracking needs.In this episode, I explain how to approach calorie estimates on food tracking apps the right way. DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is for guidance only and is not individualised advice for you!

FREE RESOURCE:  Click the link and see if the SHED METABOLIC RESET PROGRAM is a good fit for you!  FREE RESOURCE:  Sign up HERE for Dr. Tara's free talk on Perimenopause & Weight Gain happening on Wednesday, April 29th at 7pm   This episode explores the complex hormonal and metabolic changes during perimenopause that impact weight loss.  Dr. Tara and Dr. Michelle share insights on hormonal fluctuations, muscle mass, stress, sleep, and mindset, offering practical strategies for women navigating this challenging phase.   Takeaways Perimenopause weight gain is not a willpower issue, it's driven by real hormonal and metabolic shifts. Hormones don't just decline, they fluctuate, making symptoms unpredictable and confusing. Loss of muscle mass lowers metabolism, making it easier to gain weight without changing your diet. Fat distribution shifts toward the abdomen, increasing visceral fat and health risks. Insulin resistance and cortisol elevation make fat loss harder and increase hunger. Poor sleep and chronic stress amplify weight gain and disrupt metabolism. Old strategies like excessive cardio or fasting often stop working in this phase of life. Strength training and building muscle are essential for long-term metabolic health. Proper nutrition, especially enough protein, fiber, and balanced meals becomes more important than ever. Nervous system regulation and true rest are key drivers of weight loss and overall health. Weight loss resistance is also emotional and behavioral, not just physical.

Women face constant pressure to look a certain way, age a certain way, and somehow keep up with impossible standards. In this clip, we talk about why strength training is about far more than appearance.This conversation explores aging, perimenopause, mental health, motivation, discipline, and why building muscle supports confidence, resilience, and longevity. The goal is not perfection. The goal is to feel stronger, think clearer, and build a healthier life that supports you for the long run.Strength training does not have to mean spending hours in the gym. Even a few focused sessions a week can make a real difference in how you feel, how you handle stress, and how you show up in every other part of life.Listen this short clip for a powerful reminder that wellness is not about looking perfect. It is about building strength for the life ahead.

Building Muscle with Calisthenics: Common Mistakes to AvoidFitness coach Matt Chefilly breaks down the most common mistakes people make when trying to build muscle with bodyweight training. Drawing on 17+ years of calisthenics experience, Matt covers why rep-chasing undermines your progress, how chasing advanced skills can slow muscle growth, and why rigid progression systems don't serve most trainees. The core message: bodyweight training is simply weightlifting with your own body, and the same principles apply; consistently challenge your muscular work capacity, keep the basics boring and effective, and stop majoring in the minor things.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

We break down recovery as the real driver of strength and health, then show how chronic inflammation can quietly block progress even when training looks consistent. We connect daily signals like fatigue and resting heart rate with blood work markers so you can stop guessing and start adjusting with context. • recovery as returning to a physiological baseline across nervous system, hormones, and immune regulation • signs of poor recovery like persistent fatigue, sleep disturbances, stalled performance, elevated resting heart rate • systemic inflammation basics and why chronic inflammation harms tissue repair, hormone signalling, mitochondrial function • blood work markers to discuss with your doctor including CRP, ferritin, SHBG, free testosterone, fasting glucose, liver enzymes, vitamin D, cortisol rhythms • why free testosterone can matter more than total testosterone for performance and wellbeing • how often to test blood work and why baselines in younger years can change interpretation later • sleep as the highest priority recovery tool over cold plunges and saunas • anti-inflammatory nutrition basics including omega-3s, berries, olive oil, whole foods, less ultra-processed food and sugar • training balance with deload weeks and the principle that better is better than more • stress management tools like walks outdoors, breathwork, and optional meditation • gut health as an immune regulator and why testing beats self-diagnosing supplements • using a feedback loop with training logs, blood work, and one change at a time Check the show notes.

The moment you decide to show up publicly, you open the door to opinions from people who would never say those things to your face. Dominique Sachse, journalist, author, and content creator who has lived her life on camera for over three decades, gets honest about what it costs to put yourself out there, why online cruelty is a psychology problem more than a content problem, and how “Teflon Dom” developed the thick skin to let none of it redirect her.Want ad-free episodes?

if you've been trying to lose fat for what feels like your whole life…or you're in that weird place where you're technically trying to just build muscle, get your metabolism up so you can diet better next time… but youre clinging to the next fat loss phase… wanting to do both now even, but it just feels like youre in between the 2  - this one's going to hit.because in part 2, michelle and i get into the bit almost no one talks about properly.the awkward middle place the place where a lot of women live for years:half dieting - half buildinghalf trying to be flexible - half trying to be “good”still focusing on the scalestill freaking out over photosstill not really trusting themselvesand still not actually building the body they want.so many women say they want body recomposition.but the only proof we have been taught to chase?The scale, the mirror, progress photos on the weekly… expecting them to look obviously different every few weeks.that's the trap.because the body you say you want? that body is built through muscle. and muscle is slow. slower than your old diet brain is comfortable with.so what happens?you train. you try. you show up. then you check the wrong things too often. then you decide it's not working. then you either panic, slash food, or mentally check out.that's why so many women live in this weird place where they're technically trying hard but still feel like nothing is changing.it's not always that the process is wrong. sometimes the proof you're looking for is.this is what i unpacked on the podcast with one of my long-term clients. we went deep on:scale obsessionprogress photo spiralswhy muscle-building feels invisible for so longwhy women keep expecting visible change too soonand what to focus on instead if you actually want body comp to happena lot of women are dieting just enough to feel it not enough to change anything & its the pace many of you STAY stuck…if you're over 30, over the all-or-nothing cycle, over feeling like your body should be changing more by now, and over pretending the scale doesn't still get in your head…this episode is for you.because the goal is not to spend the rest of your life “trying to be good.”it's to build a body and a life that actually reflect the work you're putting in.more in this episode:why maintenance is the phase most women were never taughtwhy tiny deficits can keep women stuck for yearswhat hormones are actually impacting in midlifewhy muscle matters more than another round of panic dietingwhy self-trust is everythingand how to stop living in that miserable middle where nothing fully worksfind me ⁠@transformxruby ⁠on instagramApply for a free consult:⁠https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfqaxMDfbPYPYVui3BgSClnDXTj4BWjRvPkbBHuK5CP7SQsIw/viewform?usp=sf_link⁠Direct link to DM me on IG:⁠https://ig.me/m/transformxruby⁠

In this episode, Kim answers a question about fasted training and whether eating before or after a workout impacts muscle growth — but quickly uncovers the real issue most women face. It's not nutrition. It's intensity. Kim explains why most people only train to a fraction of their true capacity, how the brain limits effort before the body does, and why building muscle requires going beyond your comfort zone. She also shares a powerful story about training with Mark Getty and the moment she realized that pushing harder wasn't about the coach — it was about the person under the bar. Inside this episode: • Does fasted training affect muscle growth? • When pre and post workout nutrition actually matters • Why most people stop at 60–70% of their true capacity • The difference between perceived effort and real failure • Why emotional limits, not physical limits, hold you back • The mindset required to build real muscle This episode is a wake-up call for anyone who feels like they're working hard… but not seeing the results they want. ✨ Follow Kim Constable online for more real talk and daily motivation:

In this episode, we sit down with Omar, known online as Mr.Marrr, an Eritrean fitness creator who is redefining what discipline and transformation can look like for young Habesha men in the gym. Through relentless consistency and a no excuses mindset, Omar has built a growing following on TikTok by documenting his intense physique transformation, training routine, and the mentality required to push past limitations.His journey challenges the stereotypes people sometimes place on East African genetics. Instead of accepting the idea that certain physiques are out of reach, Omar's story shows that with discipline, patience, and hard work, Habesha men can build the strength and physiques they want.We talk about the grind behind his transformation, from the moment he decided to take fitness seriously, to the routines, sacrifices, and mindset required to stay consistent when motivation fades. Omar breaks down what his training week looks like, how he approaches creating fitness content, and what it takes to stay disciplined while balancing life, culture, and expectations.We also explore the mental side of fitness, including the pressure that comes with maintaining a physique online, the realities of body image and body dysmorphia in gym culture, and the internal battles many young men face when chasing self improvement.Growing up Eritrean means growing up around rich food traditions, big family meals, and a culture that does not always center fitness. Omar reflects on how he balances Habesha food culture with bodybuilding, how his family and community have reacted to his journey, and what it means to pursue discipline in an environment where the gym is not always the norm.At its core, this conversation is about work ethic, identity, masculinity, and the mindset required to outwork the narratives placed on you, whether that is genetics, culture, or self doubt.This episode is about discipline, transformation, and proving that the strongest physiques are not just built in the gym, they are built in the mind.Mr. Marrr's Socials:TIKTOK:https://www.tiktok.com/@mr.marrr_?_r=1&_t=ZT-94zsXT73EOEINSTAGRAM:https://www.instagram.com/swole.mar?igsh=MWNjN3J4OTJmcHQxeQ==Timestamps:00:00 Preview0:17 Intro1:06 Who Is Mr. Marrr?2:34 How Did Mr. Marrr Begin?7:25 Being A Habesha Gym Influencer9:48 Is His Page A Side Hustle/Hobby/Career?10:15 How He Wants To Influence Others11:00 Mr. Marrr's Training Regimen12:15 How He Started Fitness15:12 Vanila vs Chocolate Protein Powder16:05 Mr. Marrr's Workout Split17:03 How Mr. Marrr Stays Consistent18:30 Why Boxing To Lifting?20:00 How Mr. Marrr Progressed Fast20:32 Does Mr.Marrr Experience Body Dysmorphia?22:24 How He Records Gym Content24:38 Does He Feel Pressure To Maintain His Physique?25:56 Is Habesha Food In His Diet?27:32 His Community's Reaction To His Transformation30:00 Working Out With DMV Fitness Creators33:07 Do Men Feel Pressure To Have A Good Physique? 36:29 Physiques Back Then vs Now??38:08 Does Mr. Marrr Take Natural Enhancements?38:29 Working Out During Ramadan41:19 How He Outworked "East African Legs"42:18 What Is Mr. Marrr's Favorite Workout?43:50 What Is Mr. Marrr's Favorite Cheat Meal?45:02 Mr. Marrr's Advice For Fitness Content46:29 Dive & Deliver53:29 Outro

Episode 3321: Eric Bach explains that chasing fat loss and muscle gain at the same time often leads to stalled progress because the body needs opposite conditions for each goal. By getting lean first, you improve health markers, insulin sensitivity, and motivation while revealing existing muscle definition. Once body fat is lower, your body becomes far better positioned to add lean muscle efficiently. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://bachperformance.com/should-i-lose-weight-before-building-muscle/ Quotes to ponder: "At any given point in time you're either anabolic (building) or catabolic (breaking down)." "The fastest way to lose fat and build muscle is to get lean first, then build muscle." "Fat loss and muscle growth are on two opposite sides of the physiological spectrum."
