It's not. Fibre controls your blood sugar. It affects your hormones, your energy, your hunger and how your body stores fat. Most people eat 10 to 15 g a day. You need 30+.

I'm recording this almost exactly a year into her journey, as she's about to begin her second year, and she's celebrating 23kg down so far, with just a few more to go until she hits her checkpoint. Priya's journey began after the sudden passing of her brother, just four months after she'd lost her mother. It came at a moment in her life where she took a hard, honest look at her own health, her habits, and her body composition, and knew she wanted to make a serious change. Here we are a year later, and Priya is a completely different woman. I'm really excited for you to hear this account of what true change entails, and how Priya took one of the most difficult times in her life and turned it into fuel to transform herself, and those around her.

This Hall of Fame episode is a little different, because we walk through Samir's journey from a lifetime of being skinny-fat, never quite getting the physique he'd always wanted, to building a strong, muscular, lean body he's genuinely proud of in his mid-40s.   As a doctor and general practitioner, Samir has always understood the intricacies and importance of health, but he could never get the results in his own body until joining us at RNT. He started skinny-fat, went through a phase of leaning down, and has since built a substantial amount of muscle over the last couple of years. When you compare his pictures at the same body weight on the way down to where he is now, it's a quite remarkable recomposition.   This is a great episode for anyone struggling with skinny-fat syndrome who wants to build a strong, shredded physique.   Chapters: Audio  0:05 Introduction & Episode Overview 2:02 Christmas 2022: The Trigger and Losing His Father 5:00 Discovering RNT and Deciding to Commit 8:03 Why Build Muscle: Unpacking the "Superficial" Six-Pack Goal 15:24 Losing the Weight First: The Skinny-Fat Cut 19:19 Seeing the Transformation and Building Confidence 26:27 Redesigning His Day and Building a Sustainable System 35:07 Nutrition, Family Support and the Long Timeline to Build Muscle 38:58 Falling in Love with Training, Not Just Enduring It 44:53 Navigating Social Life and Alcohol 50:57 From Physician to Patient: Rethinking His Medical Practice 55:32 Health vs. Fitness: Why Muscle Is a Metabolic Organ 58:48 Reading the Warning Signs: Bloods, Cholesterol and GLP-1s 1:05:41 The Physical as a Vehicle: Reflection, Family and Success 1:11:45 Advice for the Skinny-Fat Journey and Closing Thoughts   –   Follow us: Website - https://www.rntfitness.com  Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/rnt_fitness  Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/akashvaghela YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@akash_vaghela

Today I'm joined by RNTer Vivek, who recently hit a checkpoint with us. When Vivek turned 40, he decided enough was enough. Having watched a number of his friends go through the RNT journey and absolutely crush it, he finally took the plunge at the start of 2026.   He's a father of two, holds a global role in a VC group, and is based out in Texas. For Vivek, the challenges were always the same: a relentless work schedule spanning every time zone, travelling two weeks of every month, and two young kids to balance it all around.   This is a brilliant insight into what it looks like to go from having no structure with your health and fitness to fully dialling in, and using the physical transformation as a vehicle to improve every other aspect of your life.

Email [email protected]  –   Most women don't find out their bone density is a problem until it's already visible on a scan, and by then years of preventable loss are gone. In this episode, Akash breaks down the T score, the one number every woman over 40 needs to know, what it actually measures, and why the window to protect your bones starts in your 40s, not your 60s.   You'll learn: 1. Why 1 in 2 women over 40 will suffer a life altering fracture, and why the risk is set decades earlier. 2. How a DEXA scan and your T score predict your bone health years in advance. 3. Why bone is living tissue that responds to heavy resistance training, and what actually builds density (hint: it's not the pink dumbbells). 4. The exact rep ranges, frequency, and intensity backed by research to increase lumbar spine bone density. 5. Why prevention now beats damage control at 65.   This is about more than fitness. It's about staying independent, mobile, and strong for decades to come.

She travels often and has been into health and fitness for a while, but had never quite got the results that truly reflected what she wanted to see in her body.   Kate found us through a podcast I featured on a couple of years ago, where I talked about the identity gap that so many people fall into, the all-in or all-out trap. They're great Monday to Friday, then completely derailed at the weekend, and as a result never achieve the body they dream of. That's what drew Kate in, and it's exactly what she's been overcoming on her journey with us.   She's now in the best shape of her life, 22 lbs down, and looking forward to building muscle, getting stronger, and refining her lifestyle solution as she continues to thrive in business, as a mum, and as an all-round high performer.   So without further ado, let's dive in.   Chapters:  0:00 Introduction 1:12 Meet Your Host 2:08 Trigger Moments & Finding RNT 4:57 Living Two Identities 6:02 The MyFitnessPal Trap 8:22 Family Reactions To The Change 10:43 Protein Rice Discovery 11:13 Relationship With Exercise Then vs Now 14:08 Family Dynamic With 5 Kids 15:41 Meal Prep For A Family Of 7 19:08 Why Intermittent Fasting Backfired 23:01 Bridging The Split Identity 26:01 Weighing In As An Anchor Point 29:04 Hitting Checkpoint: 22 Lbs Down 31:21 Considering Ozempic 34:23 Fear Of Success & Consolidation Mindset 37:57 Managing Cravings & Close Calls 39:44 Identity, Trust & Business Impact 42:58 What's Next For Kate 44:37 Final Advice For Listeners 46:19 Outro   Follow us: Website - https://www.rntfitness.com  Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/rnt_fitness  Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/akashvaghela YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@akash_vaghela

Her trigger moment was a combination of a few things: The 35-40 lbs she'd been carrying for two decades, since the birth of her two children, that simply wouldn't shift Reaching her early 50s and experiencing menopause, and seeing high cholesterol in her annual blood test Plantar fasciitis, which was starting to affect her ability to walk and her day-to-day life Since then, she's dropped 40 lbs and gone well beyond what she ever expected. Perhaps the biggest win of all: as a lifelong insomnia sufferer, she now falls asleep almost as soon as she hits the pillow, rather than the two to four hours she used to lie awake. She was also diagnosed with hypothyroidism many years ago, and as a result believed getting into shape was simply never going to be possible for her. But her journey with RNT over the past 18 months has completely changed that belief, and she's gone on to inspire many others to join RNT and take charge of their own health. At her daughter's wedding a few months ago, she was continuously mistaken for the bride's sister rather than her mother, which is surely the ultimate compliment. I'm excited for you to listen to this one.

Akash and Ed also share their own relationship habits, from a weekly five-point check-in ritual to how they've learned to divide training time with their own wives, and close with a simple but important point: if you wouldn't want your partner to overhear how you talk about them, that's a sign the conversation needs to happen directly.   Whether your partner is fully on board, quietly skeptical, or actively pushing back, this episode gives you a framework for navigating it, without turning your transformation into a source of tension at home.   Chapters:  0:05 Intro 1:02 Why Partners Resist Your Transformation 2:39 Phase 1: Before You Even Sign Up 5:48 Phase 2: Realizing What They Signed Up For 15:45 Phase 3: The Long Game 18:34 Getting Over the Resistance 21:16 Relationship Check-Ins and Marriage Talk 23:29 Avoiding Small Talk 24:08 The Preaching Trap 30:21 Reframing the Partner's Fears 30:28 Marathon Banter 30:53 Following Through and Specific Asks 33:48 Kids Logistics and Lockdown Lessons 35:46 Training Separately, Together 39:05 You Don't Need Matching Intensity 40:09 Paddle and Personal Purchases 42:20 The Weekly Relationship Check-In Ritual 44:45 Final Words 46:51 Outro   –   Follow us: Website - https://www.rntfitness.com  Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/rnt_fitness  Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/akashvaghela YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@akash_vaghela

She's on a truly remarkable journey of changing her habits, her lifestyle, her mental health, and her overall well-being.   For Margi, the trigger that hit home was seeing an HbA1c of 6.4 in a lab test. The moment she saw that number, she couldn't sleep all night, and shortly after, she came across RNT and knew it was the solution to get her back on track. Fast forward eight months, and not only is she 60+ lbs down, but her labs now show an HbA1c of 5.1, which is genuinely life-changing and life-extending, as she's avoided diabetes through this journey.   Margi's checkpoint is coming up in the next couple of months, so this is part one of her story, as we're still en route to that milestone, and I'm excited for her to reach it. What's especially cool is that only a few months into her first year, Margi committed to her second year, and recently committed to her third, knowing the power of the long-term journey with us at RNT. She's here for the full multi-year, five phase experience, not just to get in shape and move on.
