This episode is brought to you by Fatty15 and Blueland. When it comes to weight loss, most people rely on the usual strategies—cutting calories and exercising more. But what happens when these methods don't work? And how do we ensure we're losing fat, not muscle? It's time to rethink our approach. Instead of just focusing on the number on the scale, we should prioritize body recomposition—building a stronger, healthier body that supports longevity and resilience as we age. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we bring you a special compilation episode featuring Dhru's conversations with leading experts on why body composition is more important than your scale weight.  Sal Di Stefano, Mind Pump co-founder and fitness expert, explains why body composition matters more than the number on the scale. He breaks down the most efficient and sustainable ways to exercise and highlights the crucial role muscle plays in overall health. Sal also reveals why lasting motivation for a healthier lifestyle must come from within. By adopting practical, sustainable strategies, we can boost energy, improve well-being, and achieve our fitness goals—all while promoting longevity.

Today, Sal is a highly sought-after expert known for his practical, easy-to-apply insights.

This Trending with Timmerie episode featuring Sal Di Stefano from Mind Pump Media was the ultimate pep talk for anyone trying to level up their fitness routine in the new year. Sal brought the goods with practical, science-backed hacks to take your workouts and overall health to the next level: no burnout required. These are simply tips to consider and be sure to consult your doctor! Stop Trying to Outwork Your Body: Make Exercise a Skill Sal’s first piece of wisdom? Stop thinking of exercise as a “get sweaty” contest. It’s not about being the most exhausted person in the gym. Instead: Treat your workout like a skill. Whether you're swimming, strength training, or doing Pilates, slow down. Focus on perfecting your form. Why? Better form = fewer injuries + better results + feeling stronger. For example: Instead of rushing through swimming laps, slow your pace and improve your efficiency. Same with lifting weights; less is more when your technique is on point. Timmerie’s note: "Slowing down is a game-changer! Even pro athletes I train think it’s torture at first, but they feel muscles they never knew existed the next day." Protein is Your BFF You’ve heard it before, but Sal laid it out so well. Here's something you may want to consider! Aim for 1 gram of protein per pound of your target body weight. Example: If your goal weight is 150 lbs, eat 150g of protein/day. Why? Protein helps with fat loss, muscle building, strength gains, and preserving lean tissue. Pro tip: Eat your protein first at every meal. It reduces cravings, keeps your blood sugar stable, and helps you feel fuller longer. Timmerie’s take: “Skip the hangry moods! I’m always telling people, just eat some protein, and suddenly they’re a whole new (nicer) person.” Creatine: The MVP of Supplements Sal recommended creatine monohydrate as something that could help! You can get your doctor's opinion too! It’s not just for bodybuilders: it’s great for everyone, boosting energy, improving muscle strength, and even supporting longevity. How to take it: The easiest way to consider could be through gummies. Not into those? You could also mix the powder into water or a shake; don’t overthink it. Sal’s hack: “If you’re not consistent with the powder, grab some gummies. Whatever makes it easier for you to stay on track!” Stretch Smarter, Not Harder If you’ve been stretching the wrong way (hint: static stretching), Sal’s got you covered: Dynamic stretches before a workout: Think movement-based stretches that warm you up without disconnecting your muscles from your brain. Example: Leg swings or walking toe touches. Static stretches AFTER workouts or before bed: Great for relaxing the nervous system and improving flexibility. (Think: Sitting hamstring stretches or hip openers.) Back pain or sciatica? Try these: Piriformis stretch (a.k.a. "figure 4 stretch"): Cross one ankle over the opposite knee while sitting, then lean forward. Pelvic tilts: Lie on your back, knees bent, and gently arch/flatten your lower back. Timmerie’s fave: “That figure 4 stretch? Lifesaver. And you don’t even have to get on the floor—perfect for chair stretchers like me!” BONUS HACKS YOU DIDN’T KNOW YOU NEEDED High-protein breakfasts = stable blood sugar all day. (No more 3 p.m. cookie cravings.) If you’re dealing with nutrient deficiencies (like vitamin D or iron), get tested! Fixing these will supercharge your energy levels and workouts. Takeaway Time Sal’s hacks are all about simplifying your routine so it works for you, not against you: Master the skill of your workout. Protein first, always. Creatine for the win! Stretch dynamically before workouts, statically after. Timmerie’s challenge: “Take just ONE of these tips this week and commit to it. Slow down your workouts, up your protein, or stretch properly. You’ll feel the difference!” So, friends, are you ready to crush 2025 with these doable fitness upgrades?

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.    The best way to listen to the Best of the Week is on our #1 Free Catholic App. It's free, and always will be!

Sal Di Stefano sheds light on an unexpectedly profound subject: the transformative power of parenting. While Sal has made a name for himself in the fitness realm, his recent social media musings about the joys and challenges of family life have sparked both acclaim and controversy.   The Parenting Paradox: Countercultural yet Fulfilling  In today's fast-paced, selfie-obsessed world, embracing the traditional family structure and championing the role of parenting is practically revolutionary. Sal's candid reflections on fatherhood have polarized audiences. While many parents resonate with his message, others express disdain, viewing children as impediments to personal freedom and success.   The Real Workout: Parenthood  Sal and Timmerie delve into the essence of parenting, contrasting the societal portrayal of it as a burdensome life sentence with the reality of its unparalleled emotional rewards. They tackle the pervasive myths surrounding the financial and lifestyle "costs" of children, arguing that the real sacrifice lies not in what you give up but in what you gain: a love that transcends self-interest, fostering personal growth and deep, meaningful connections.   Cultural Conditioning vs. Fulfillment  Sal points out the emptiness of chasing wealth and beauty at the expense of missing out on the deepest human relationships possible.    A Call to Action: Rethink Happiness  It's a call to reevaluate societal values and personal priorities. Sal and Timmerie challenge you to consider parenthood not just as a life stage but as a life-enhancing journey that offers unparalleled opportunities for growth, happiness, and fulfillment. In a world obsessed with superficial achievements, they argue, raising children stands out as the most rewarding and transformative experience one can have.

Sal Di Stefano founder of Mind Pump joins Trending with Timmerie to discussing why exercise helps prevent anger. (2:55) Why having a kids makes you happier. (25:14) How to celebrate the octave of Easter.  (44:41) Hope over despair.

Are you doing ALL the fitness and diet things, but you're still struggling to lose the last 10 pounds?  In today's Fitness Friday episode on the Habits and Hustle podcast, I chat with Sal Di Stefano from Mind Pump about what is needed to lose those last few pounds and the importance of building muscle. We also discuss what to do if you're not someone who loves strength training. It's important to love the exercise you're doing, otherwise, you won't do it! Overall, we offer guidance on what to do to look good if that is your goal.  Sal Di Stefano, along with Justin, Doug, and Adam, is a host on the Mindpump Podcast. They bring quality fitness and health information to the masses with integrity and honesty. Sal's goal is to shift the direction of the fitness industry from an aesthetic insecurity based industry to a self love and self care health industry. He accomplishes this with education through entertainment. What we discuss:  What to do to lose the last 10 pounds  Muscle is like invested money  Want to look good?

I'm pumped to welcome one of the hosts of the Mind Pump Podcast, top trainer and entrepreneur Sal Di Stefano. Mind Pump pulls back the curtain on the health, fitness, and nutrition industries, cuts through the pseudo-science, and offers science-backed solutions for enhancing performance while emphasizing health. Sal started his journey in the gym at age 14, and I admire how he's steadily grown a meaningful business around biohacking fitness. On today's episode, we take on some weighty topics like weight training vs. cardio, why veganism is dangerous, and why reverse dieting may actually be the key for results. Sal explains his fitness philosophy, which focuses on functional movement, reframing your mindset around exercise, and consistency above all else. We also get into the nutrition side of things. Sal and I break down how much protein you should be eating per day, plus our favorite proteins—and the evil ones we avoid. We also talk carbs. Do they make you fat? How do they impact performance? What are the best sources? Then, we get fired up talking about how you can fire up your metabolism. This episode is for everyone, from gym newbies to serious bodybuilders. And check out my episode on The Mind Pump Podcast to get a double dose of me and Sal (watch or listen).(00:01:03) Are Bodybuilders the Edgiest Biohackers?(00:04:51) Strength Training vs. Cardio(00:12:27) Strength Training as a Longevity Tool(00:16:32) Moving Toward Functional Movement(00:21:10) Reframing Movement in Your Mind(00:29:17) Why Veganism Is Dangerous(00:33:27) Do Carbs Make You Fat?(00:38:34) Should You Reverse Diet?(00:40:54) How Much Protein Should You Eat?(00:50:18) Is There Any Good Reason To Eat Chicken?(00:55:10) Winning Carb Choices(00:59:42) Sal's #1 Recommended Supplement(01:02:00) The Single Biggest Fitness MistakeSponsorsMitosynergy | Get 15% off now at Mitosynergy.com/Dave40 Years of Zen | Upgrade Your Brain in 5 Days by going to 40YearsOfZen.com/DaveResourcesDave Asprey's NEW Book ‘Smarter Not Harder' is out now: https://daveasprey.com/books Mind Pump Podcast: mindpumppodcast.comMind Pump Training Protocols: mindpumpmedia.com/maps-fitness-productsMind Pump Instagram: @mindpumpmediaSal's Instagram: @mindpumpdistefanoX: @mindpumpsalTikTok: @mindpumpmediaYouTube: @MindPumpShowThe Human Upgrade is produced by Crate Media.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

You're scrolling on Instagram and stop dead in your tracks as you're served an ad for a ‘new' fitness product.  Except it's not new…it's a slightly sleeker product from 20 years ago that promises you abs of steel in 28 days. While it feels like we face a new fitness trend every week, it's scary to think that the promise of a ‘quick fix' is just being recycled over and over again.  In this episode of Habits & Hustle, I'm joined by Sal Di Stefano to reveal the truth behind some of the trends we're (unfortunately) seeing re-emerge in the health and fitness space. We tackle intermittent fasting, not as a diet trend, but as a cultural practice. And break down how it's being used as another fast way to weight-loss despite its potential health risks, especially for women.  We also debunk a whole host of myths such as: sweat-equals-weight-loss, how much cardio you actually need, plant based ‘milks' vs dairy milk, the politicization of the vegan diet, and how supplements can completely transform your personal health journey.  Sal Di Stefano is a personal trainer, co-founder of Mind Pump Media and co-host of Mind Pump, a podcast dedicated to providing truthful fitness and health information. Sal is dedicated to prioritizing health over appearance, and he aims to shift the direction of the fitness industry from aesthetic/insecurity based to one based in self-love and self-care. What we discuss… (00:01) - Breaking down the truth around major fitness trends (10:32) - Are fake ‘milks' actually better for you than dairy milk? (17:02) - Collagen protein: is it worth the hype?  (28:57) - The real benefits of intermittent fasting and cold plunges for fat loss  (38:36) - Does sweat actually equal weight loss? And how to fix your relationship with exercise (46:08) - How strength and metabolism are a better indicator of fitness progress than weight alone (53:17) - The need for exercise consistency over variety and the effects of caffeine on your training  (01:00:13) - How the use of supplements has transformed our personal health journeys  (01:10:34) - Why detaching yourself from the diet crazed culture is essential to long term health  …and more!

How do you lose stubborn weight and build mental muscle? Being fit is more than simply being in shape or losing weight. It's one of the keys to having a limitless mind. Exercise stimulates neurotransmitters, like dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins, and can play a vital role in reducing systemic inflammation. I'm excited to welcome Sal Di Stefano to the show today. Sal has been a personal trainer since he was eighteen years old. He's the host of the Mind Pump podcast and is the author of the book, The Resistance Training Revolution: The No-Cardio Way to Burn Fat and Age-Proof Your Body—in Only 60 Minutes a Week. Even though we know about the mind-body connection, there's still a misconception that somehow the two are separate. And while any activity that's good for the body is generally good for the brain, there are some that are better than others. Listen in as Sal explains why strength training has unique attributes that make it ideal for improved brain performance and how you can use these exercises to get maximum results.
