Most women don't struggle with fat loss because they're unmotivated or undisciplined. They struggle because they've been given the wrong strategy for their biology and they've been dieting from a suboptimal position where their body isn't ready to lose fat in the first place.On this episode of THE CHASING CLARITY HEALTH & FITNESS PODCAST, I break down the physiological realities that make fat loss look different for women, why comparing your progress to a man's is a losing game and how I coach female clients in a strategic, evidence-based way that protects hormones, preserves muscle and delivers results that last.This episode explains why so many women experience chronic dieting, metabolic slowdown, cycle disruptions, a slower rate of scale change than men, and the frustration of feeling like their body isn't responding and what to do differently if you want sustainable results instead of another rebound.HERE IS WHAT WE COVER️WHY WOMEN START WITH LOWER MAINTENANCE CALORIES & LOWER TDEE️ THE IMPACT OF CHRONIC DIETING, LOW ENERGY AVAILABILITY & RED-S️ WHY AGGRESSIVE DEFICITS BACKFIRE & LEAD TO HORMONAL DISRUPTION️ HOW TO SET SUSTAINABLE FAT LOSS RATES BASED ON % BODYWEIGHT️ WHY WOMEN LOSE WEIGHT SLOWER THAN MEN & WHY THAT'S NORMAL️ HOW TO PRESERVE LEAN MASS WHILE DROPPING BODY FAT️ THE POWER OF A PRIMER PHASE BEFORE DIETING️ HOW TO BREAK THE WEEKDAY DIETER CYCLE FOR GOODIf you're tired of dieting harder and seeing less progress, this episode will help you rebuild your metabolism, understand your physiology, and execute a fat loss strategy that actually works for women.IF THIS EPISODE HELPED YOU, SHARE IT WITH A FRIEND WHO NEEDS IT.If you're ready for a personalized approach that respects female physiology, apply for 1:1 coaching through the link in the show notes.WHERE TO CONNECT WITH ME:Follow Brandon on IG: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/brandondacruz_/⁠For Info on Brandon's Coaching Services: ⁠https://form.jotform.com/bdacruzfitness/coachinginquiry⁠Email: ⁠Bdacruzfitness@gmail.com⁠Brandon's Website: ⁠https://www.brandondacruzfit.com⁠

Many people consider retirement a time when you no longer have the responsibility of working and you focus on spending your time on things like hobbies, travel and time with the family. As much as this can be true for some people, a lot of people still consider working after retirement age for many reasons. If you still actively work after "Retirement", it is very important to make your heath and wellness a priority. In This Episode You Will Learn: 1). Why we labeled this episode as staying active during your work day in "Retirement" and how many people still actively work after hitting their retirement age. 2). Why it can be difficult to take care of your body especially after a long work day as you age into your retirement years. 3). How making sure to take consistent breaks during your day and using that time to rest and recharge will keep your mind and body healthier as you progress through your day. 4). The importance of creating a workspace or environment around you that helps promote your physical and mental wellness. 5). Why it's always best to take time out of your day even if it's only 5 minutes to tend to your physical well being by stretching or exercising. /// We hope the tips and suggestions in this episode are helpful to you or someone you know who is still actively working after their designated retirement age. Making sure you keep your physical, mental and emotional self a priority while staying in the workforce can definitely keep you prepared for what you ask of your body for many years to come.

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!A life can pivot on a single “no.” For Vinod Chandel, repeated rejection at the police gate became the spark that turned a frail kid into a national bodybuilding champion and, eventually, one of India's most sought-after celebrity coaches. We unpack how he built a career on anatomy, humility, and relentless learning—then rebuilt it after a slip disc forced him to rethink strength from the spine out.We walk through the transformation from old-school, mirror-first training to a 360-degree method that blends mobility, yoga, calisthenics, kettlebells, and stick work. Vinod shares how balanced shoulder development demands understanding muscle heads and alignment, why cat-cow and hip control can unlock heavier squats, and how long days at desks or on sets age the body faster than birthdays. He opens up about pricing and negotiation, the realities of traveling with stars, and the principle that knowledge—not hype—earns trust and income.What stands out is the cultural fusion: Western exercise science sharpened his programming, while Indian warrior traditions—gada, mudgar, sword work—taught rotational strength, grip, and presence. That blend helps everyone from actors to IT pros move better, recover faster, and stay injury-resistant. For new trainers, Vinod's playbook is simple and demanding: train all kinds of bodies, repeat your own transformations, and cook your craft under real-world pressure.

Hunger is the #1 challenge most people face when trying to lose body fat. It's not that people don't know they need to eat fewer calories, it's that staying consistent in a deficit feels impossible when hunger and cravings take over.In this episode of the Chasing Clarity Health & Fitness Podcast, I'm breaking down the science of hunger and sharing practical, research-backed nutrition strategies to help you manage appetite, improve adherence, and make fat loss feel easier.We'll cover:WHAT IS HUNGER?

Living a life with a busy schedule is very common for most people and this can still be true as we age. Finding the time to fit in healthy habits like regular exercise can be challenging. Fortunately you don't have to spend hours exercising just to stay healthy. Currently we've released a few "5 Minute Series" workouts that are designed to give you a variety of movements and challenges in a short period of time. But just how effective are 5 minute exercises? In This Episode You Will Learn: 1). Why Meredith decided to create a new exercise series called "5 Minute" workouts and what is included in this series. 2). How this new series is built on the foundation that you should always focus on some kind of intentional movement throughout the day even if only for 5 minutes. 3). The different varieties of 5 minute workouts that we offer (now and in the future) and how they encompass all levels of fitness. 4). Some of Meredith's thoughts on how often you should exercise during the week and how our 5 minute series plays a role in that. 5). Why it's important to sometimes "slow down" your workouts even if you are at an advanced level of fitness. /// We hope the information we've shared in this episode is helpful to you especially if you're having a hard time trying to find time to exercise on a regular basis. You don't need to spend countless hours everyday to maintain your physical health. The important thing is to always choose to keep moving even if it's only for 5 minutes. Installing healthy habits is what it's all about to giving you the chance at a long and healthy life ahead. Team MeredithSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of The Next Level Health & Fitness Podcast, Craig and I dive into one of the most debated topics in the fitness world — protein. Is there really such a thing as too much protein? Are people in the fitness space chronically over-feeding themselves in the name of muscle gain? And more importantly, are they sacrificing other key nutrients just to hit massive protein goals? We break it all down — the pros, the cons, and the context that actually matters. You'll hear our personal opinions, what we've seen with clients, and what we believe is the sweet spot for optimal protein intake. If you've ever wondered whether you're overdoing it or under-fueling your body with protein, this episode will give you clarity and practical takeaways you can apply right away.

In this episode, Angelo breaks down the critical role amino acids play in virtually every function of your body—from building and repairing muscle tissue to supporting immune function, hormone production, and neurotransmitter synthesis.

Send us a textHave you ever felt like you're doing everything right — eating healthy, tracking your food, trying to stay consistent - and yet… you're still tired, moody, or craving sugar all the time?That's what I call hidden hunger and I see it all the time with my clients (and I've been there myself). In this episode, I talk about what's really going on when your body feels off even though your meals look “clean” on paper.I share stories from a few of my clients — like Samia, whose evening chocolate cravings disappeared after we added more protein in the morning, and Ingrid, who stopped her 3 p.m. energy crashes once she started eating proper lunches again.You'll also hear how under-eating, low protein, or poor sleep can mess with your hunger hormones — ghrelin and leptin — and why your body starts craving sugar even when you're eating “enough.”And most importantly, I'll walk you through what I call my Core Four Reset — the simple framework I use with my clients to bring energy and hunger back into balance:1️⃣ 25–30 g of protein before 10 a.m. 2️⃣ 25–30 g of daily fiber from fruits, veggies, oats, or lentils 3️⃣ 8,000+ steps per day and 2–3 strength workouts per week 4️⃣ 7–8 hours of quality sleepNo crazy diets, no all-or-nothing rules — just a few small habits that make everything else easier.If you've been feeling stuck lately or constantly fighting cravings, this one's for you.
