384. Beyond Calories: Ditching Diet Culture to Heal Your Gut and Fuel Your Life With Best-Selling Author Elyse Kopecky

This week on Hurdle, Emily is joined by Elyse Kopecky—three-time New York Times best-selling author, educator, and co-author of the Run Fast, Eat Slow cookbook series with Olympian Shalane Flanagan—for a conversation that dives deep into the power of real food and the journey of turning personal struggle into a successful, mission-driven career. Elyse opens up about her intense personal history with a low-fat diet mentality as a young athlete, which led to severe health complications like athletic amenorrhea, low bone density, and stress fractures. She shares the pivotal moment in her 30s—while living abroad—when she realized that simply introducing healthy fats like butter and high-quality dairy allowed her body to heal and regulate naturally. We discuss the key to her philosophy: Indulgent Nourishment, which promotes celebrating whole, delicious food as the true opposite of deprivation. Elyse shares why focusing on real food, rather than counting macros or calories, is the best path to a healthier life. We also dive into the non-negotiable role healthy fats play in hormonal and brain health, how to spot misleading packaging on food labels, and the truth about high-protein fads and refined white flour. She also talks about the full-circle journey of leaving a successful corporate career at Nike to go to culinary school, and ultimately launching her own company.

QUOTABLE MOMENTS “Raising kids that are watching me do something that I’m so passionate about is the biggest gift of all in this whole career journey.” “I think so many Americans have no idea how good you can feel.” On her philosophy: "You don't need to stress about like measuring things and counting macros, all you need to do is get in your kitchen and cook." “Real food does not cause weight gain. Let’s just like stop even thinking that.” On the longevity of her message: "I think that's why our books continue to sell well is because the nutrition messaging is still upholding 10 years later." “You’ll have a horrible stomach ache if you eat when you’re super stressed.” On her pivot: "I think if I had known what I know now about the world of grocery and retail and how complex it is, I probably never would have started the company. But I think it's always been my thing like I jump into it." On the surprising benefit of her injury struggles: “Sometimes those lowest points of your life ... will teach you the biggest lessons. So your low points or your failures can become your greatest success in life.” IN THIS EPISODE Pivoting to CPG: The decision to launch the direct-to-consumer Superhero Muffins baking mix. The Low-Fat Lie: Elyse's experience suffering from athletic amenorrhea, low bone density, and stress fractures due to not eating enough healthy fats. The Power of Real Fat: Why healthy fats (like butter and olive oil) are essential for hormone balance, brain health, satiation, and absorbing fat-soluble vitamins. Dieting & Deprivation: How to shift the mindset from deprivation to "Indulgent Nourishment". Label Literacy: What red flags to look for on ingredient lists, including artificial sugars, refined flours, natural flavorings, and cheap protein fillers like refined gluten. Protein Obsession: Why high-protein diets are often overdone and the importance of balanced meals that include healthy fats and complex carbohydrates. Gut Health & Stress: How high stress and not eating during a "rest and digest" state can destroy your digestion and prevent nutrient absorption. Stress Combatting Tip: Using movement—like a short walk or quick sprint—to lower cortisol levels before sitting down for a meal. The Entrepreneurial Grind: The challenges of launching a small food brand against major competitors with large marketing budgets. Career Resilience: The journey from a successful career at Nike, to a culinary school detour, and finally finding her passion.

This isn't meant to be demoralizing or depressing, but a good awareness if you eat at restaurants often.I've also looked at the calories and macros of quite possibly the most destructive menu item to ever hit a U.S. based chain restaurant.

It's festive season, the pours get generous, and fat loss can suddenly feel… mysteriously harder. In this Mini Mikkipedia episode, Mikki breaks down why alcohol has more power than you think — not just because of calories, but because your body treats ethanol like a toxin and prioritises clearing it first. That means acetate becomes the preferred fuel, fat oxidation gets shoved to the back of the queue, and appetite, sleep, and next-day decision-making can all take a hit. Mikki also explains why midlife women often notice these effects more (sleep fragility, hormonal shifts, body composition changes), plus the real-world patterns that matter most: “most nights,” “weekend warrior,” and the classic “optimistic home pour.” You'll also get practical strategies to keep alcohol in your life without it quietly body-slamming your goals.Highlights / topics coveredWhat alcohol metabolism does to fat burning (acetate, ADH/ALDH, suppressed lipid oxidation)Why “two glasses” often isn't two standard drinks (and why the liver doesn't care)Sleep disruption → hunger, cravings, blood sugar swings, and reduced training qualityHow alcohol can blunt muscle protein synthesis after training — especially relevant in midlifePractical guardrails: weekly caps, timing, measuring pours, and choosing your “non-negotiable” drink Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwillidenSave 20% on all Nuzest Products WORLDWIDE with the code MIKKI at www.nuzest.co.nz, www.nuzest.com.au or www.nuzest.comCurranz supplement: MIKKI saves you 25% at www.curranz.co.nz or www.curranz.co.uk off your first order

23 Time-Tested Tips To Get Shredded in 2026Short description:In this episode of The Eric Bach Show, Eric walks through 23 battle-tested strategies to get legitimately shredded in 2026 without wrecking your hormones, your joints, or your sanity. From calories and macros to training, sleep, stress, and environment, this is a full roadmap for busy adults who want to get lean and stay lean without living in the gym.What you'll learn:Fat loss fundamentals:– How fast you can realistically lose fat without burning off muscle (usually about 1–2 pounds per week).– How to reverse-engineer your timeline instead of crash dieting and then rebounding.– Why constantly program-hopping destroys progress.Calories and macros:– A simple starting point for calories: roughly bodyweight times 10 for fat loss.– Why aiming for about 1 gram of protein per pound of target bodyweight works well for most people.– How to use carbs to fuel training instead of cutting them to zero.– Why very aggressive deficits and extreme low-carb approaches often backfire on hormones, thyroid, and performance.Deficit limits:– Why you generally shouldn't diet harder than about a 30% calorie deficit for long periods.– How pushing too hard leads to lower energy, reduced movement, higher cravings, and brutal plateaus.Food quality and structure:– The “foods that had a face or came from the ground” rule.– Why minimally processed, single-ingredient foods simplify fat loss and improve fullness.– The power of eating the same meals on repeat to reduce decisions and cravings.– How consistent meal timing can make hitting your targets almost automatic.Environment design:– How to set up your kitchen and home so you are not relying on willpower all day.– Why keeping trigger foods around is like trying to be sober while living in a bar.Movement, steps, and cardio:– Why aiming for around 10,000 steps per day is such a powerful fat loss tool.– The benefits of short, 10-minute walks after meals for blood sugar and appetite.– How to use cardio intelligently without turning your life into endless treadmill sessions.Training to get shredded:– Why you should be lifting weights at least 3–4 times per week when getting lean.– The key movement patterns to build your training around: squats, hinges, pushes, pulls, lunges, and carries.– A simple, effective workout structure: 4–6 main exercises per session, heavier strength work first, then higher-rep hypertrophy work, and optional finishers.– Why including jumps and throws keeps you athletic, powerful, and more resilient as you age.Hydration, electrolytes, and recovery:– How hydration and electrolytes can improve pumps, performance, and joint comfort when calories and carbs are lower.– Why recovery becomes even more important when you're dieting.Supplements (no BS):– Protein powder as a convenient food, not magic.– When intra-workout carbs can help support performance and immune function during a cut.– Core supplements Eric often uses: fish oil, vitamin D, creatine, and magnesium.Sleep and lifestyle:– Why sleep is one of the most underrated fat loss tools.– A simple sleep routine structure (like cutting off caffeine, food, work, and screens at progressive times before bed).– How better sleep leads to more willpower, fewer cravings, better hormones, and better training.Alcohol:–...

This week on Fat Science, Dr. Emily Cooper, Mark Wright, and Andrea Taylor answer listener questions about BMI cutoffs, weight cycling, metabolic adaptation, trauma, GLP-1 differences, and why some people gain weight on ultra-low calories. Dr. Cooper explains what's really happening inside the metabolic system and why individualized treatment—not dieting—creates sustainable change.Key Questions AnsweredIf my BMI doesn't “qualify” for GLP-1s, is Naltrexone + Bupropion helpful—and what labs matter first?Does being overweight always indicate metabolic dysfunction, and why are U.S. rates so high?If diets damage metabolism, what do you do when you're already 80 pounds overweight?How long does it take for leptin and ghrelin to stabilize with mechanical eating?How can someone gain weight on 1,200 calories/day?After sleeve gastrectomy, how do you eat enough while on a GLP-1?Is set point theory real—and how does the melanocortin pathway influence it?If obesity runs in my family, will I need meds like Zepbound for life?How do trauma and stress alter long-term metabolic health?Can GLP-1s offset weight gain from steroids, mood meds, or hormones?Why might Ozempic work well while Mounjaro causes weight gain?Key Takeaways1. BMI rules don't reflect metabolic truth.A mid-20s BMI can still mask significant dysfunction, especially with weight cycling.2. Weight cycling is metabolically stressful.Repeated losses/regains increase visceral fat, insulin abnormalities, and cardiovascular risk.3. Obesity is a multi-hormonal disease.Most people need pharmacology plus sleep, fueling, and movement—not restrictive dieting.4. Metabolic adaptation is powerful.Under-fueling lowers thyroid output, suppresses fat-burning, and slows metabolism dramatically.5. After bariatric surgery or on GLP-1s, frequency matters.Frequent, nutrient-dense snacks protect muscle, metabolism, and energy.6. Set point changes with better signaling.GLP-1s and related therapies help the brain accurately detect weight and lower the defended level.7. Genetics often mean lifelong support.Family patterns of obesity usually indicate long-term need for metabolic medication.8. Trauma amplifies metabolic risk.Childhood trauma disrupts IGF-1, sleep, stress hormones, insulin, leptin, and ghrelin.9. Medications can cause weight gain—GLP-1s can help counteract it.Steroids, mood meds, hormonal agents, and more can be metabolically unfriendly.10. “Newer” isn't always better.Some people respond poorly to the GIP component in Mounjaro/Zepbound. Individual physiology rules.Dr. Cooper's Actionable TipsRequest deeper evaluation: DEXA, visceral fat, fasting insulin/glucose, leptin, reproductive hormones.Stop restrictive dieting permanently—mechanical eating protects metabolic stability.Work with a fueling-focused dietitian (often ED-trained).Review your medication list for drugs known to cause weight gain.Don't switch GLP-1s or chase higher doses if your current regimen works.Notable Quote“Obesity isn't a willpower problem.

As a longtime cocktail and IPA fan, Brad shares how his search for better NA options actually started with his dad, who quit drinking and discovered a game-changing brand called Bero (co-founded by Tom Holland).Brad breaks down why today's “mock beers” taste far better than the old-school O'Doul's and Corona Zeros—and how the explosion of Gen Z/Gen Alpha non-drinkers is fueling innovation across the industry.Brad reviews a wide range of NA beers across multiple categories, sharing what's worth buying—and what to skip:Bero (Bero/Barrow): The brand that started his journey. Solid lineup including hazy IPA, golden pilsner, wheat beer, and seasonal releases.

Their Mexican-Style Copper stands out despite being a lower-calorie exception.Guinness Zero: The closest match to the original of any NA beer he's ever tasted. Nearly impossible to tell apart from real Guinness.Blue Moon Non-Alcoholic Belgian White: One of the best wheat-style replicas; incredibly close to the classic flavor.Golden Road Mango Cart (NA): A top pick if you like fruity wheat beers—shockingly close to the real Mango Cart.Sam Adams Just the Haze: Brad's favorite hazy IPA option—refreshing, citrusy, and extremely satisfying.Lagunitas IPNA: A strong IPA choice true to the Lagunitas vibe.Asahi & Sapporo (Zero versions): Best-in-class among light NA beers; great pairing for sushi nights.Becks, Heineken Zero, Stella Zero: Solid middle-tier options—better than old-school NA beers but not as flavorful as Bero or Athletic.He also calls out what to avoid—especially NA beers under ~60 calories, which tend to taste like hop water.

Happy Monday, y'all — and welcome back to The Work. December is here, the sleet is falling, and we're kicking off the final stretch of the year with a whole lot happening behind the scenes.This week, Greg and I dive into Thanksgiving recaps, starting with a massive shout-out to Marty, our UPS driver who surprised the whole crew with the most unbelievable keto barbecue spread. Brisket, ribs, pulled pork — all dialed in, Savage-certified, and absolutely melt-in-your-mouth. Watching Marty dive into keto, lose weight, and get fired up about the lifestyle is exactly the kind of ripple effect I always hoped this business would have.Speaking of meat, I somehow managed to stumble into field-dressing a deer in my running shorts minutes before a business call. Only here, folks. The deer had been hit and was suffering, so Clancy and I stepped in, processed it, and now we've got a freezer full of venison. Not how I planned to spend my Wednesday morning, but sometimes life hands you a responsibility… and 40 pounds of protein.Back at the homestead, Thanksgiving brought deep-fried turkey cooked in grass-finished tallow  - next-level stuff. Total game-changer for the family. But pigs? Different story. We got back from the holiday only to discover our new pigs had intestinal worms, despite being told they were clean. Definitely frustrating when you're doing everything as naturally and intentionally as possible. Luckily, we've got a regenerative protocol lined up — diatomaceous earth, pumpkin seeds, garlic, apple cider vinegar — to get everything back on track without resorting to pharmaceuticals.We also recap our Black Friday/Cyber Monday launch. We didn't discount the bricks — margins don't allow it — but we did hook folks up with a killer value: free high-end cooler bags and access to the Savage System when they stocked up. Those cooler bags are insane, by the way. Yeti-level, maybe better, and my cousins took them through mud, rivers, and gun ranges to put them to the test.Then we shift gears into 2026 planning. We're working hard to lock down the venue for the next Natural State Savages. Tons of people are already asking, and yes — it is happening. As soon as the venue gives us the green light, the date will be set.We've also finalized the core details for the next Savage Retreat: Tough Mudder weekend — Feb 28–March 1 — with Dr. Jamie Seeman as our keynote speaker. Three days, a shared Airbnb, a mud run, mountains of barbecue, and one heck of a good time. Tribe members get a discounted rate, but either way, we're pricing it just high enough to cover costs and make it an unforgettable experience.We close by touching on training — both Greg and I are seeing strength climbing across the board. Calories steady, recovery solid, and deep into grow-mode as I gear up mentally for the 2027 prep season. Eddie set the bar high at Worlds this year… and I'm coming for that standard.December's here, momentum's up, and we're grinding all the way into 2026.

Send us a textThe wellness world is louder than ever—trends, shortcuts, and conflicting advice everywhere you turn. On this episode of The Anthony Amen Show, I sit down with author and health coach Jen Trepik to cut through the noise and get back to what actually works. At Redefine Fitness, we always say fitness is medicine, and this conversation gives you the blueprint for building a body that performs the way you want it to—long term.We kick things off with a simple question: What does “worked” mean to you? If your goals are better energy, deeper sleep, pain-free movement, or strength that carries you through life, then the method matters as much as the outcome. That's where most people get stuck. Short-term tactics look impressive, but long-term systems actually transform you.Together, we break down the biggest myths that keep people spinning:Calories aren't equal when your biology is running the show.Protein's thermic effect changes metabolism more than people think.Fiber and the gut-brain connection shift cravings without relying on “discipline.”Quick fixes like GLP-1s come with real trade-offs people rarely talk about.Eating out vs. cooking isn't just about calories—it's about control and consistency.Variety still matters for micronutrients, resilience, and recovery.Jen lays out a biostack—nutrition, movement, hydration, stress management, sleep, and connection—that mirrors the exact foundation we use at Redefine Fitness in Stony Brook and Mount Sinai. When these six pillars work together, every small habit you love finally has leverage.We also dig into the identity side of change. Community shapes who you become. Surround yourself with people who normalize the habits you want, and progress accelerates. Build simple plates around protein, produce, and quality fats. Anchor your mornings. Protect your sleep window. Stack repeatable wins even on chaotic days.If you feel stuck between fatigue and fads, this episode is your permission to ignore the noise, choose your trade-offs intentionally, and let your body's feedback drive your next step. That's how lasting health is built—inside the gym and outside it.Grab Jen's book Uncomplicating Wellness, listen to her podcast Salad with a Side of Fries, and then come join us on the journey.

Ever feel like you're doing everything “right” with your health and still can't figure out why your period's gone MIA? Or maybe you're confused about what's really going on post birth control and wonder if you'll ever feel “normal” again. In this episode, I sit back down with period recovery specialist Victoria Myers to unpack the overlooked signs of hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA), the science-backed practical strategies real women are using to regain their cycles and fertility naturally, and finally getting real answers when you've been dismissed or misunderstood. We're digging into why so many women are told IVF is their only option, how to differentiate between HA and PCOS (and yes, you can have both), what labs and lifestyle tweaks actually matter, and exactly what it takes to feel safe in your body so your hormones and fertility can thrive. So if you're ready to focus on the right changes to make your cycle regular again, even if you've struggled for years or lost hope, hit play and let's dive in.3:54 – Why Root Cause Investigation (HA vs. PCOS) Should Always Come First9:22 – How Eating More and Exercising Less Can Jumpstart Period Recovery14:34 – How Tracking Basal Body Temperature and Cervical Mucus Confirms Ovulation19:34 – What 2,500 Calories a Day Can Do for Your Hormones (Yes, Even If You're Petite)29:33 – Why Self-Worth and Body Image Are Tightly Linked with Period Health and The Best First Steps To Take If You Suspect HA or Irregular CyclesEpisode Links:Connect with Victoria: Website | InstagramCheck out Victoria's podcast: Nourishing Women PodcastOther Episodes You'll Love:Episode 133: Lost Your Period After Birth Control?
