Get your free custom nutrition plan (exclusive to podcast listeners) when you join Wits & Weights Physique University for just $27/month--The psychology behind weight loss methods has created a moral battleground where people judge themselves and others based on whether they use traditional lifestyle approaches or pharmaceutical interventions like GLP-1 drugs.People are losing 40 pounds on Ozempic or secretly microdosing GLP-1 drugs, while underground resentment brews between those who "did it the hard way" and those accused of taking "shortcuts."We're keeping it real about the psychology behind the Weight Loss Wars using a (more reasonable) systems-based approach that eliminates judgment while optimizing for what actually matters: YOUR sustainable results.Main Takeaways:"Ozempic envy" reveals more about our relationship with effort than with resultsFat loss is an engineering problem, not a moral issueGLP-1 microdosing creates fascinating case studies in behavior modification (and still requires building lifestyle skills)The most successful people combine external tools with internal skill developmentStop keeping score of who's doing it "right" and start engineering systems that work sustainably for YOUEpisode Mentioned:Eat More To Lose Weight?

Interview with Michael Quinert, Executive Chairman of West Wits MiningOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/west-wits-mining-wwi-tolling-agreement-brings-production-date-closer-2663Recording date: 23rd July 2025West Wits Mining Limited (ASX:WWI) has released an updated Definitive Feasibility Study for its Qala Shallows gold project in South Africa, revealing dramatically improved economics that position the company as an attractive near-term gold producer. The study shows post-tax Net Present Value increasing from $246 million to $500 million USD, while the internal rate of return reaches 81%.Executive Chairman Michael Quinert attributes these improvements to higher gold price assumptions, rising from $1,850 per ounce to $2,850 per ounce based on Bloomberg consensus, alongside operational optimizations including lowering the cutoff grade from 2 grams per tonne to 1.31 grams per tonne. These changes extend the mine life from 9 to 12 years at steady-state production of 70,000 ounces annually.The company has secured $50 million USD in binding bank funding from ABSA Bank and the Industrial Development Corporation, with definitive legal documents signed. This funding structure significantly reduces dilution risk for shareholders while validating the project through comprehensive third-party due diligence. The debt facility includes standard commercial terms and hedging requirements structured through put options rather than full hedging arrangements.Production timeline has accelerated substantially, with ore extraction possible within eight weeks of recommencing operations. The project benefits from previous development work establishing infrastructure to the second level on ore, while Modi Mining has been engaged for contract mining services based on their extensive platinum field experience.West Wits Mining has secured a four-year evergreen toll treatment agreement with Sibanye-Stillwater, providing processing certainty while maintaining flexibility through multiple alternative options in the region. The company holds over 5 million ounces of resources within a compact footprint, with expansion potential to 200,000 ounces annually through "Project 200."Trading at approximately $75 million market capitalization, West Wits Mining presents compelling re-rating potential as it transitions from developer to producer, supported by improving South African infrastructure and the favorable gold price environment.View West Wits Mining's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/west-wits-miningSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Caoimhe, Antistrophe, Brontë arrived to Burzin with a clear goal: Find out whether the catastrophe in Burzin is tied to the mysterious malediction known only as Sourcerot. But seeing the town in ashes makes another objective clear: Stopping the fires from continuing, no matter what is causing them. Now, they seek answers that will lead them to investigate not only into the town's history, but into the lives of some of its oldest residents… This week on Perpetua: The Flames of Burzin Pt. 03 Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.02] Town Maps [TNMP] Burzin Main Scenario Teribald's House of Chance This is where the main story route I took kicked off, but it's also where I lost a TON of asta. Wurdzin doesn't make any sense to me, but if you can get a lucky streak with your guesses, I guess you could really break the game economy here! House M'Shalia LOTS of lore here. There are way more things in the upstairs rooms and attics that you interact with than you might think. Make sure to turn on the option that makes interactables shiny! House of Benediction Obviously this is where the big showdown is, but did you know that if you go here during the day time you can get healed, get your debuffs cleansed, and get a buff! Town Hall & Jail & House Burzin I think you can advance through the main plot here instead of through the House of Chance/M'Shalia route, but I haven't had a chance to load my old save and try it yet. Let me know on the forum and I'l update this! Burned Down Buildings You can check for clues at each of these locations, but the most important one is in the southwest. That's where the Saloon burned down. Shops Mining Supplies This is basically a “tool store” from other towns, so if you need any consumables from those, you can get them here. Clean Water Lodge & Crebbs Potions & Poultices I listed these together because they share the same interior on screen, just with a door between the two front desks. You get to stay here for free as long as the main story is ongoing (assuming you rescued Frenk), so make sure to use it before you leave town. The next time you come back, he'll charge you!. Wilfer's Wits and Weaponry If you happen to have the asta, there are some pretty great weapons here! The Solium Bow (Dex+Dex, HR+8 Fire Damage, gives you Resistance to Fire) is especially great! Also, if you interact with the third bookcase three times, you can find “An Accounting of Spiritual Matters,” which gives you a huge bonus when fighting the boss here, plus can be used afterwards as a mage weapon. Serah's Surcoats I think the flame resistant armor is overpriced, but the Sungleam Shield is GREAT for Antistrophe. It's a big upgrade for both of his defenses, plus you can basically give people a solar flare from DBZ XD Side Quests / Other Residential District Mostly just NPCs to talk to about things here. I love the two brothers who hate each other. First Bank of Burzin Always remember to deposit any extra asta you have into the bank. Not only will it prevent you from losing some if you die in combat, it also actually slowly gains in value! I guess they have interest in Perpetua! Post Office This probably deserves its whole own entry, but did you know that if you have both East and West saves, you can actually transfer items between them? You just choose the “Send a Gift to a Random Person” option and pay the fee. The “random person” is actually a character in your other save game! It does take a little while to get there though. Abandoned Buildings Just a good place to grind against lanterns!

Welcome to Episode 97 of 2414! In this 10th installment of the Vibrant Conversations Deck series, Pastor Dan and Shane are back—just the two of them—for a hilarious, heartfelt, and hunger-inducing episode.They dive into everything from home buying stress to the theology of knocking on wood, from Outburst games on human sacrifice (yes, really) to Wits & Wagers trivia on Oprah and cable channels. But the highlight? A single card from the deck:"What's one adventurous thing you've eaten? Share about the meal."What follows is a food storytelling marathon that ranges from fermented shark in Iceland to cat food in college, with pit stops for burrito burgers, Wagyu, wasabi edamame, and even hot chocolate floats. Through humor and humility, the conversation reveals how even meals can carry meaning—and how the weirdest foods can lead to the richest stories.If you're looking to enhance your own conversations or simply want to explore these engaging topics further, you can grab your own Vibrant Conversations Deck here:

In this episode, Pastor Dan and Shane sit down for a meaningful conversation about the faithfulness of God—how it shows up in everyday life, how we can trust His promises even when things don't go according to plan, and how Scripture shapes that trust. It's a reflection rooted in grace, centered on Christ, and honest about the ups and downs we all face.This week's discussion is sparked by The Vibrant Conversations Deck, which invites us to share how we've experienced God keeping His word—even when walking through the valley of the shadow of death, knowing Jesus is right there with us (Psalm 23).We also start the episode with a lighthearted round of Wits and Wagers, just to get the wheels turning and the laughs rolling.Whether you're riding high or walking through something tough, this conversation is a reminder that God doesn't change—and He keeps His Word.If you're looking to enhance your own conversations or simply want to explore these engaging topics further, you can grab your own Vibrant Conversations Deck here: https://shoplhm.org/vibrant-conversation-deck/Don't forget to continue the conversation at home, in the car, at work, or anywhere you can find someone to talk to!

Learn more:https://witsandweights.com/physique--"You can't build muscle during perimenopause." How many women have heard this discouraging statement from doctors, trainers, or social media? Today's episode shatters this harmful myth through the journey of my client Cynthia, who not only lost over 100 pounds but is now successfully building quality muscle during perimenopause.If you've been told that hormonal changes during perimenopause mean you can't build muscle anymore or that muscle gain automatically means gaining excess body fat, this episode will change your perspective.Cynthia reveals exactly how she's avoiding excessive fat gain while increasing muscle mass, and why the common advice about hormones and muscle building after 40 is entirely wrong.Main Takeaways:Why building muscle is possible (and essential) during perimenopauseHow to distinguish between muscle gain and water weight fluctuationsThe mindset shift needed when transitioning from fat loss to muscle buildingWhy tracking measurements matters more than the number on the scaleHow strength training becomes your most powerful tool against hormonal changesTimestamps: 0:01 - Why muscle building during perimenopause matters2:50 - The multiple benefits of building muscle after weight loss8:49 - What finally worked for Cynthia's 100+ pound transformation12:17 - Key mindset shifts she learned in Physique University16:35 - Overcoming the fear of gaining weight during a bulk21:41 - The importance of strength training during hormonal changes28:53 - Optimal training frequency and exercise selection33:33 - Targeting specific muscle groups effectively45:04 - Pre-workout nutrition strategies that work49:33 - Tracking progress beyond the scale53:36 - The encouraging truth of muscle building at any ageJoin WWPU (Wits & Weights Physique University) free for 2 weeks!Support the show
Sign up for the Fat Loss Blitz challenge to lose 3-7 pounds of fat in 2 weeks for the summer: http://witsandweights.com/physique--Is there a FASTER way to lose fat without sacrificing your hard-earned muscle? Yes! It's called the "micro-cut" and the goal is to lose between 3 and 7 lbs of fat in just 2 weeks.But there's a catch...Rapid fat loss is a more aggressive alternative for those who've already mastered the basics (training, tracking, protein, walking, and NOT dieting recently). It's a calculated approach that works remarkably well under the right conditions.When I personally tested this method, I dropped 5 pounds almost entirely from fat while preserving muscle mass. Others who've followed the protocol have lost between 3-7 pounds in 2 weeks with minimal impact on strength. The approach is especially useful for breaking through plateaus or addressing hormonal challenges like those faced during perimenopause.Ready to try it yourself? We're kicking off our Fat Loss Blitz challenge tomorrow.Join us with a free two-week trial in Physique University to get the complete protocol, expert guidance, community support, and a chance to win a free coaching session.

Submit a question for the podcast (and get a personal reply plus a shoutout) at witsandweights.com/question--Ever feel like your strength training goals are slipping away because of nagging injuries or mobility limitations? That persistent shoulder pain during pressing, the foot injury that flares up when walking, or those mobility restrictions that make certain movements feel impossible can be incredibly frustrating. But what if these challenges aren't roadblocks but redirections?Today we're answering listener Tom's question about training with shoulder pain, foot issues, and mobility limitations. The truth is, everyone who lifts weights long enough will encounter physical limitations. The difference between those who continue making progress and those who stagnate isn't about genetic luck or perfect health—it's about mastering the art of training around limitations.Learn the powerful mindset principles that allow you to continue building muscle and strength despite injuries or limitations, and why the most successful lifters aren't those with perfect bodies, but those who master the art of training around their constraints.Main Takeaways:Why "adaptation, not abandonment" should be your fundamental training principleHow constraints can actually accelerate your progress by forcing smarter trainingThe expanded definition of progression beyond just adding weightWhy compensatory patterns matter and how to become aware of themThe importance of redefining what "progress" means when working around limitationsTimestamps:0:01 - The challenge of training with limitations 2:16 - Why this affects lifters of all ages and experience levels 4:34 - The adaptation mindset vs abandonment 6:30 - Constraint as a catalyst for better training 10:13 - The primacy of progression principle 12:52 - Holistic adaptation management 15:39 - Compensatory awareness 17:06 - Deliberate variability in exercise selection 22:49 - Redefining progress beyond PRs 27:26 - Why limitations are redirections, not roadblocksSubmit a question for the podcast (and get a personal reply plus a shoutout) at witsandweights.com/questionSupport the show

Unsure whether to focus on fat loss, muscle building, or maintenance?In this episode, I share a real live recording of a 15-minute Rapid Nutrition Assessment with Sam, who wasn't sure which direction to take her fitness journey next despite already establishing solid nutrition and training habits.Sam has made impressive progress with her nutrition and training habits but struggles with competing goals: wanting to build muscle and improve bone density while maintaining the lean physique she worked hard to achieve. Having previously reached 14% body fat, she loved how she looked and felt, but found this difficult to maintain long-term. Now at 18%, she's hesitant about entering a building phase that might push her away from her aesthetic comfort zone.You'll discover why the choice between building muscle and staying lean doesn't have to be binary, and how finding the right balance can transform both your physique and long-term health.Main Takeaways:Why "aggressive maintenance" might be the perfect approach for building muscle without sacrificing leannessHow to increase training intensity to improve bone density and muscle growthThe importance of strength-focused training versus hypertrophy for overall health outcomesWhy adding just 50-100 calories can make a significant difference in your body's ability to build muscleTimestamps: 0:01 - Why you might be torn between competing fitness goals 4:11 - Bone density, muscle building, and training intensity 12:04 - Choosing between maintenance, fat loss, or muscle gain 15:44 - Why small calorie increases help with building muscle19:44 - What is true maintenance? 21:51 - Improving bone density Support the show
Is fat loss really made in the kitchen (combined with strength training)?Or do we have it backward?This episode examines why building muscle must be your first priority for any successful physique transformation... even before worrying about calorie deficits or macros.You'll discover how strength training creates the metabolic foundation that makes fat loss dramatically easier, why muscle tissue acts as your body's "glucose sink" improving insulin sensitivity, and how this approach leads to better regulated hunger signals and more sustainable results than traditional dieting.Let's challenge what the fitness industry teaches about weight loss and give you a more efficient starting point for your transformation.Main Takeaways:Building muscle first creates a metabolic environment where fat loss becomes dramatically easierStrength training improves insulin sensitivity through the "glucose sink" effectThe right approach allows you to eat more food while achieving better resultsBuilding a muscular foundation changes your entire relationship with nutrition and fitnessEpisode Resources:Follow The B.Rad Podcast for more great content from Brad KearnsTimestamps:0:01 - Why the traditional approach to fat loss is backward 8:54 - Why fat loss shouldn't be your first priority 15:32 - How strength training cascades to better eating habits 19:38 - How lifting prevents metabolic disease 23:27 - How your metabolism adapts to increased food intake 31:44 - The Norwegian training revolution: eat more, train harder 39:35 - Why even the "perfect diet" is not enough without training 47:22 - Walking as essential daily movement 57:27 - How walking more improves health markers 1:03:03 - The simple approach to starting with strength trainingSupport the show
