Why are many men effeminate today? How do you fix yourself? Sal Di Stefano, founder of Mind Pump, the top international fitness podcast, joins Trending with Timmerie (1:13) Ozempic: objections and alternatives. (21:26) Advice for singles from people who met their spouse after 30.

So how many Instagram posts and YouTube videos have influenced your vision of fitness, overall health, and proper diet? How many have you tried that left you frustrated and pissed off? Probably too many to count or recall. We're bombarded with misinformation about fitness, exercise, and diet at nauseum. It's not getting you or anyone closer to the results you really desire, and it almost makes the results you want a bit unclear and confusing. Sal DiStefano is no newcomer to the fitness scene. By the age of 19 he was already general manager at a local gym. Unfortunately for him, but lucky for you and all of his clients since, he had a health scare of his own from an autoimmune disorder which resulted in him losing 15 pounds of muscle! Sal refocused and started learning more about gut health, hormone health and how to prioritize health over appearance. His book, The Resistance Training Revolution, breaks down fitness misconceptions that social media and bad diet fads are flooding you with. In this episode, break through the idea of relying on cardio to burn those extra calories and start realizing the amazing benefits strength training offers your body. Stop training just to lose weight fast and look good, and make the mindset shift to start approaching diet and exercise for the right reasons, so it becomes lifelong and sustainable.

Fitness expert Sal Di Stefano joins Timmerie to delve into the pretty concerning decline in testosterone levels in men, a trend that's been consistent since the 1970s. This drop in testosterone has been linked to various issues like low energy, infertility, obesity, diabetes, muscle mass loss, and even depression. The Testosterone Crisis: What's Happening? Testosterone and Sperm Count: Since the 70s, testosterone and sperm count in men have halved, affecting not only older men but also adolescents and young men. Impact on Health: Low testosterone (Low T) contributes to low energy, obesity, diabetes, infertility, muscle mass loss, bone density issues, depression, and a general lack of well-being. You deserve to feel better. Raising Testosterone Naturally: Tips from Sal Di Stefano Strength Training: Lift Weights: Building muscle increases androgen receptor density, which helps testosterone bind more effectively. Even with the same testosterone levels, more receptors can make it feel like having double the testosterone. Consistency is Key: Regular strength training not only builds muscle but can also increase testosterone levels. Healthy Diet: Balanced Nutrition: Focus on non-processed foods high in protein. Make sure you're not deficient in key nutrients like vitamin D, zinc, and magnesium. Supplements: If deficient, simple supplements can make a big difference. Get tested for nutrient levels by a doctor or functional medicine practitioner. Quality Sleep: Sleep is Critical: Poor sleep can significantly drop testosterone levels. Not good! Just two nights of bad sleep can lead to a noticeable decrease. Better Sleep Practices: Regular Schedule: Find consistency. Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day. Limit Electronics: Avoid screens before bed to improve sleep quality. Caffeine Cut-off: No more coffee after your earlier meetings! Avoid caffeine after 1-2 p.m. Dark Environment: Life hack here! Use sleep masks and blackout curtains to enhance sleep. Lifestyle Changes: Sunlight Exposure: Regular sunlight helps regulate circadian rhythms. Stress Management: Cut that stress! Reducing your anxiety can have a positive impact on testosterone levels. Consistency: Try to avoid jet-lagging yourself by keeping a consistent schedule even on weekends. The Problem with Quick Fixes Estrogen Blockers and Testosterone Treatments: These are often just temporary solutions and don't address the root causes. Long-term lifestyle changes are necessary for sustainable improvement. Sal's Key Takeaways: Strength Training and Proper Nutrition are foundational. Quality Sleep can dramatically boost testosterone levels. Natural Methods often outperform quick-fix medical treatments. Further Reading: Check out Sal Di Stefano's book, The Resistance Training Revolution for more insights and tips. By implementing these natural strategies, men can effectively boost their testosterone levels, leading to improved energy, better health, and enhanced overall well-being.

“Obesity is a choice. This doesn't mean it's easy to solve, but it is a choice. YOU MUST accept this or you will never solve this problem.” -Sal Di Stefano The statement above either has you nodding your head in agreement or has you feeling a bit pissed off. If being overweight has been a recent or even a lifelong struggle for you, it's hard to hear that you're actually choosing to be overweight, but when you understand the power of extreme ownership over every area of your life, including your body you may start approaching your health much differently. Whenever health and weight loss come up, without a doubt diet and exercise are part of the conversation and first on most people's minds. What if there are other factors more important to not just losing weight, but to keeping the weight off long term? What if exercise isn't as important as we've been told? This episode with Sal Di Stefano is exposing the lies millions of people fall for that lose weight every year only to gain it back. Why is Sal so confident after 20 years in fitness that obesity is a choice people are repeating day after day? Sal Di Stefano is the co-founder and CEO of Mind Pump Media, podcast host of Mind Pump dedicated to delivering the absolute raw truth on health and fitness, and the bestselling author of The Resistance Training Revolution. If you find yourself choosing foods based on taste and convenience, if everything you try to lose weight ultimately leads to more weight gain and you're over being obese, being unhealthy, and being unhappy with the way you feel, make sure you're taking action today and asking yourself the one question Sal says will change your life. QUOTES: “You have to accept the things that you can't change, but you also have to take responsibility for the things that you can.” “Years ago as a trainer, I first started out thinking that losing weight will help people become happy. It took me ten years to figure out, you first had to learn to be happy before you could really lose weight.” “We use food rarely as a way to nourish ourselves, and rarely do we eat because we're genuinely hungry. Most people in modern societies never really feel true hunger.” “The fitness space is riddled with bodies that look ripped that belong to extremely unhealthy, dysfunctional individuals.” “Obesity is a very outward, visible, obvious sign of poor health or dysfunction.” Follow Sal Di Stefano: Website: https://www.mindpumpmedia.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/MindPumpTV Twitter: https://twitter.com/Mindpump Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mindpumpmedia/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mindpump/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mindpumpmedia?lang=en Podcast: https://mindpumppodcast.com/ RESTART your life in 7 days: http://bit.ly/42KM8OR Click here to download your FREE guide to 100x YOUR EFFICIENCY IN 10 EASY STEPS: https://bit.ly/3F8qOJL Sponsors: Sign up for a one-dollar-per-month trial period at http://www.shopify.com/impact Visit http://www.houseofmacadmais.com/impact and use code impact for 20% off all purchases, and for a limited time a complimentary bottle of cold-pressed Extra Virgin macadamia oil!

Are you ready to discover how the idea of fatherhood has changed for Sal, and what lies our society is telling men about being a father and husband? Join Sal and Josh to find out what it means to become a man, why we don't truly know our children and why we should be more present with them, and how to grow through discomfort. Listen To Episode 494 As Sal Di Stefano Uncovers: [1:30] Following Family Values And Traditions Sal Di Stefano Mind Pump Media Mind Pump Podcast: Josh Trent Of Wellness Force On The Future Of Tech In Fitness & Beyond 437 Josh Trent | Death & Rebirth: Why I'm Saying Goodbye to Wellness Force… The things that happen to us vs the things that happen for us. Why Sal sees his journey as a blessing, even though it was difficult and painful. What it was like being raised in a traditional Italian family that immigrated to the USA and didn't have much money. The sense of responsibility: Being the oldest son and feeling like a father to his 3 siblings. Following the family tradition and getting married at the age of 22 to a girl with a similar background. [10:30] Marriage And Growing Apart How divorce can break you and why Sal didn't want to be a weekend dad. Ending a 15-year marriage and asking himself: What did I do wrong? Why did it not work out? Getting into a marriage because of his family values, and putting all his time into making money and working hard. What he believed a dad's job was and how different values led to a lot of fights. Avoidance in Sal's marriage: Burying conflicts and not understanding the importance of growing together. Our modern culture: Glorifying being a single man who's having fun VS your life being over when you get married and have children. What made Sal feel like he was missing out and feel resentful. [14:20] How Resentful Thoughts + Feelings Are Created One of the biggest lies that is sold to us according to Sal. Peter Pan Syndrome in men, how it's related to consumerism, and how men change as consumers when they become fathers. Objective VS subjective morality. Why men with children and are devoted to their spouses are happy, and why middle-aged female executives without children are the least happy. Facing mortality: What do people wish they had done more of in their lives? How Sal's challenges in life made him who he is now. [19:35] Searching For Novelty VS Becoming A Man Why novelty makes us feel alive and the connection with the limbic brain. Getting pleasure without the work and having access to what you want all the time: Why is it a problem? The current problems are not new problems, it's a new environment. Envy: One of the 7 deadly sins has been around for thousands of years but the circumstances are different now. Why Sal thinks a good woman turns you from a boy into a man. Differences between men and women: The biological clock, emotional attachment. Chris Rock: “A man would live in a cardboard box if that's all he needed to do.” Jordan Peterson The spiral of evolution: The right woman will make a man grow. Why older adults in long-term relationships have better sex. [23:30] Do We Really Know Our Children? Sal shares why not exercising actually hurts more than doing an exercise, and why eating whatever you want is not enjoyable. His life after divorce: Trying to be present for his children and have a good relationship with his ex-wife. How divorce finally brought Sal closer to his children, and how his view on day-to-day tasks completely changed. What makes him feel guilty about raising kids with his second wife. Josh shares his experience with taking care of his son and getting to know him. [27:12] Providing For The Family How to provide for your family: Creating a balance between what you produce with your wants. The ways Sal would provide for his family if his life was more unfavorable, and why the values he has matter. Why he tries to not be on his phone even when his son plays by himself.

Power Quotes From The Show The Vulnerability Of Fatherhood "Being a dad, you definitely realize how invincible you were before in the sense that you've never been vulnerable like you are the second you care about something more than yourself." - Sal Di Stefano Facing Mortality: What Is It That Truly Matters? "If you look at studies on people who are faced with their mortality, people with chronic disease who have a year to live, people on the death bed… Nobody says I wish I worked more or I made more money. Everybody says I wish I spent more time with my kids, I wish I had kids, or I wish stayed with that partner, I wish I was more with my family and friends." - Sal Di Stefano Same Problems, New Environment "These problems that we have today are actually not new problems. It's a new environment… The reason why people are unhappy now is although we have more, they can see the next guy that has more than they do, as they compare themselves. That's not a new problem… This is human behavior. I don't think they're new problems, I think we have different circumstances. Human behavior doesn't change, I think we still have to learn the same lessons." - Sal Di Stefano Links From Today's Show Dr. John Gottman 451 Laura Coe | Understanding Akashic Records: How To Live Your Dharma, Spiritual Bypassing, Twin Flames & Soul Mates MPM: 1480 How To Find Peace & Meaning Amid Chaos With Bishop Robert Barron 484 Stefan Chmelik | Vagus Nerve Toning: The Science + Spirit of Healing From Stress With Sensate The Bible - Isaiah 45:7 405 Tim Corcoran | Vision Quest: How To Find Your Place In The Ecology of Life, Purpose Mountain & Spiritual Courage 457 Josh Trent: Solocast | Healing The Father Wound, 100+ Hours Fasting, Vision Questing + Being Alone With Mother Nature's Wisdom Mind Pump Media Mind Pump Podcast: Josh Trent Of Wellness Force On The Future Of Tech In Fitness & Beyond 437 Josh Trent | Death & Rebirth: Why I'm Saying Goodbye to Wellness Force… Jordan Peterson Joe Dispenza Bruce Lipton Arnold Schwarzenegger MPM Co-host: Adam Schafer MPM Co-host: Justin Andrews MPM Producer: Doug Egge Paleo Conference - Austin, Texas Shawn Stevenson: The Model Health Show 384 Shawn Stevenson | Eat Smarter: Use the Power of Food to Reboot Your Metabolism, Upgrade Your Brain, and Transform Your Life 333 Dr. Kelly Brogan | The Spiral Path: How To Own & Love Your Self Jessica Di Stefano Arthur Brooks Chris Kresser MPM: 620 Chris Kresser On The Chronic Disease Equation, The Potato Hack For Fat Loss, The Disease Worse Than Being Eaten By A Shark & MORE 140 Unconventional Medicine – Chris Kresser MPM: 1480 How To Find Peace & Meaning Amid Chaos With Bishop Robert Barron MPM: 910 Paul Chek Paul Chek MPM: 1792 The Secrets Of Happy People With Arthur C.

A painfully skinny teenager, he felt insecure about his physique and his lack of muscle and strength. Fitness was a way for him to apply hard work and effort towards changing and re-inventing himself. A natural intellect, Sal devoured every fitness, physiology and nutrition publication he could get his hands on. His appetite for knowledge is voracious and he used his passion for learning to maximize his own body's potential. 4 years later Sal walked into his local 24 Hour Fitness gym and applied to be a personal trainer. He quickly became a top performer and, at the age of 19 was promoted to the position of general manager with as many as 40 employees working under him. During this period of time, Sal learned to master skills of sales, marketing, and communication and his gyms broke records in sales and production. At the age of 22, Sal became an entrepreneur. He opened a wellness and personal trainer facility that offered one on one training, massage therapy, nutritional counseling, hormone testing, and acupuncture. At the age of 28 Sals health took a bad turn. Sal's Wellness Journey The years of training his own personal body with excessive amounts of intensity in the pursuit of more muscle combined with the abuse of supplements caused his body to rebel. He lost 15 lbs of muscle and at one point believed he may have an autoimmune disorder. This forced Sal to change his personal approach to fitness. He made health a priority and he visited his insecurities that caused him to abuse his body. It took him a full year of study and learning to transform yet again. Sal learned about gut health, hormone health and how to prioritize health over appearance. He healed his body and changed how he communicates fitness and health and was re-invigorated with a new sense of purpose. Although this was a challenging time for him, it is literally what formed his view on health and how he communicates it to this day. MAPS Programming At 33 years old Sal met Doug Egge who became his client. They formed a close friendship and together they created the first Maps program. Sal was the designer of the workout plan and Doug created the marketing material behind it. Their goal was to shatter the failed muscle-building workout ideas that Sal had personally witnessed as entirely ineffective. They knew that MAPS programming would be vastly superior. Their challenge was how to bring this to the masses. 2 years later Sal met Adam and Justin and together with Doug they started Mind Pump. The goal with Mind Pump was simple... Bring quality fitness and health information to the masses with integrity and honesty. Sal wanted to shift the direction of the fitness industry from an aesthetic insecurity-based industry to a self-love and self-care health industry. He knew this could be accomplished with education through entertainment.

Why is weight loss so dang difficult? Or, I guess I should say why is permanent long-term weight loss and weight management so dang difficult? Maybe you can relate to this. You go on a diet and you lose some weight – now you're feeling good and you're looking good. But somehow 6 months, maybe 12 months later, you're right back to your pre-diet weight. What the heck happened? So you start the process all over again, but this time you pick a different diet and double down on getting your cardio in. And it works, you lose some weight and start feeling good and looking good again. But those lost pounds insidiously sneak back on to your body, only this time their joined by a few extra pounds. It's as if those hard lost pounds made some new friends while they were away and invited them back to your place for a party. Perhaps the problem has to do with our assumptions about how we lose weight and maintain a healthy body composition over the long haul. Maybe it's time to reexamine he common advice of eat less and exercise more and come up with a sustainable model that works for those of us over 50. Maybe it's time for a revolution. My guest today is Sal DiStefano. With over 20 years of coaching experience, Sal is one of the most sought-after experts in the health and fitness industry. He's a founding member and host of the wildly popular podcast Mind Pump, which is my personal favorite podcast. He is also the author of the new book titled The Resistance Revolution: The No-Cardio Way to Burn Fat and Age-Proof Your Body – in Only 60 Minutes a Week.

We have a problem keeping weight off. 14:10 Resistance training is a superior form of exercise for fat loss, heart health, and insulin resistance. 14:50 Resistance training stopped the progression of beta amyloid plaques that cause Alzheimer's, according to an Australian study. 17:40 Resistance training is using resistance specifically to build strength and muscle. 19:00 Running is a skill that needs practice and instruction. 20:05 Resistance training is all about form and technique. 24:30 The calorie burn during exercise is not very important in cardio because your body prioritizes energy conservation and efficiency. 26:00 Roughly half of the weight you lose with cardio, is muscle. 27:01 Strength training creates a less efficient, faster metabolism. 29:32 Weight lost through resistance training is body fat. 30:30 All you need is two days a week of resistance training to bring strength, tone and a faster metabolism. 32:30 Muscle memory: Building muscle the first time may take a while. Losing that muscle is slow. Regaining it is much faster than the initial buildup. 44:20 Gross motor movement compound exercises are most effective for building muscle. 45:50 Your central nervous system controls how your muscles fire, your strength and stability. 48:10 Proprioception, knowing where you are in space, increases with resistance training. 51:00 Resistance training elicits immediate and long-term hormonal responses. 51:35 Resistance training is the only pro-tissue form of exercise. 53:35 Resistance training reliably increases androgen receptors in men and women. 55:55 Low testosterone increases cancer risk, increases risk of heart disease, increases Alzheimer's and dementia risk, decreases quality of life. 56:48 The average 25-year-old male today has the testosterone levels of the average 60-year-old in 1980. 57:00 A 20-year-old male today have the grip strength of a 60-year-old in 1980. 57:50 Grip strength can predict all-cause mortality better than any other single metric. 01:05:30 Pushing yourself to maximum performance is counter longevity. 01:07:00 A low protein diet generally reduces longevity. 01:09:55 Obese people have weaker bones, less muscle and more bodyfat. 01:10:30 What builds muscle, builds bone. 01:17:50 Resistance training is in the elderly improves cognitive function and hormone profiles.

There are many myths that have been perpetuated about resistance training over the years including but not limited to: -Lifting makes you bulky -Lift light weights to be 'toned' -Lifting stunts your growth -Lifting makes you 'muscle bound' In this episode, Layne talks with Sal Di Stefano from Mind Pump. Sal began his fitness journey of lifting weights as a teenager and became a personal trainer at 18 years of age, then was promoted to general manager of a large gym by age 19, and started his own business at 22 by opening his own personal training studio. A veteran of 'in the trenches' hands-on personal training, Sal brings a practical element of resistance training knowledge with an ability to distill complex topics into engaging content. Layne and Sal rap about the many benefits of resistance training, the myths about it, and why almost everyone should be resistance training in some form.

Statistics show that the majority of Americans are now obese, in spite of the fact the fitness industry is bigger today than at any other point in time. Sal Di Stefano of Mind Pump Media dives deep into this alarming disconnect and goes through the laundry list of issues that emerge as a result of poor health both on an individual level and on a society level. In 2021, Sal published the book The Resistance Training Revolution, which details his observations and lessons learned after over 20 years in the fitness world. Frustrated at how the industry has failed to adequately address an obesity crisis that only continues to get worse, Sal wrote the book to tackle some of the common myths and misconceptions around health and fitness. In particular, he hopes to change the mainstream paradigm regarding resistance training, which he believes is “the best form of exercise to burn fat, boost metabolism, and achieve health benefits you cannot obtain from other forms of exercise.” “I made the book to specifically focus on trying to get people to adopt a form of exercise that has now been proven through study, but also one that I've seen through experience to be the most effective form of exercise for all of the health problems that we tend to run into in modern society—everything from obesity to diabetes to dementia to Alzheimer's to loss of mobility to hormone issues. I'm trying to change the stigma that surrounds this form of exercise.” Sal goes on to explain why cardio and tracking calories burned during exercise are two of the worst things to focus on when trying to lose weight. He then gives his thoughts on the dangers of the “self love” trend and why you should never conflate “self image” with “body image”.

In this episode we review and discuss the book The Coddling of the American Mind by Jonathan Haidt and Greg Lukianoff. This book is a great exploration of some of the issues seen in many of today's universities and their students. From issues surrounding free speech, silencing and cancel culture, political divides, and an alarming rise of anxiety and depression in teens and young adults, this book causes us all to ask ourselves if our good intentions have actually caused greater harm. As a heads up, we'll be reading the book The Resistance Training Revolution by Sal di Stefano during the month of June and welcome you to join us. We are always interested in any questions or points of discussion you might want to offer - Thanks for listening! Extreme Energy by MusicToday80: https://soundcloud.com/musictoday80/r...

Sal from Mindpump @mindpumpsal chats with me about his new book, "The Resistance Training Revolution." If you're familiar with my view or this podcast, you know that I am part of this revolution. I want everyone to understand the importance of weight training, and the misconceptions of cardio. Don't be scared of the weight room. You will not be a hulking bodybuilder or a vulgar, veiny animal. You will get lean and sculpted and you will continue to be disappointed with how you look and feel if you rely on cardio for your training. Listen and enjoy.
From his studios at Mind Pump Media, Sal Di Stefano talks to Rich Gaspari and John Romano about his new book, The Resistance Training Revolution - the no cardio way to burn body fat and age proof your body. Burn fat with no cardio? That's right. Rich does it, John does it, Sal deos it, now you can too. Actually, anyone can. As long as you can do a little lifting twice a week, you'd be well on your way!

If you’ve heard any of my Book Club episodes of the podcast, you know I’m an avid reader and all-around bibliophile. I like to encourage people to read as much as possible because knowledge benefits you much like compound interest. The more you learn, the more you know; the more you know, the more you can do; the more you can do, the more opportunities you have to succeed. Life is overwhelmingly complex and chaotic, and it slowly suffocates and devours the lazy and ignorant. That’s why we have to be perpetual learners. That’s also why I get excited when someone writes a good fitness book. I want to get more good information out there into the eyes, ears, and brains of more people, and even though I have my own fitness books, I love to see good information get out there no matter who it’s from. In this case, my friend and fellow fitness professional, Sal Di Stefano of Mind Pump Media, has written such a book. It’s called The Resistance Training Revolution, and Sal joins me on this podcast to talk all about it. Sal has been on the podcast several times before and for good reason. We enjoy our forays into history, politics, culture, and economics, but on the fitness side of things, Sal has spent the better part of two decades in the trenches helping normal, everyday people get into great shape. And so he wrote a book to help normal, average people get fit and stay fit for the long-term. In other words, he’s not preaching quick fixes and hacks and the book isn’t written for hardcore bodybuilders. It’s just cold, hard truths and practical know-how to help normal people get healthier, build some muscle in the process, feel better, and improve their lives. In the podcast, we chat about . . . Why he wrote the book and who can benefit from it Why focusing on burning calories from cardio isn't the best approach to weight loss Developing discipline and how not fall off the wagon with a fitness regimen A basic training routine anyone can do And more . . . So if you want to hear about how Sal wants to change the fitness paradigm and promote resistance training to the masses, and how you can educate your own friends and family on the benefits of lifting weights, listen to this podcast! 10:51 - What is the title of the book and why did you decide to write it? 14:43 - What was thought to be the best form of exercise to burn the most amount of calories? 34:14 - What does a resistance revolution exercise look like?
