Free Metabolic Assessment: 👇🏼https://martin-gusoogsu.scoreapp.com/ Description: My DEXA scan came back at 12.3% body fat, with visceral fat at 36 cm². That's elite, and I haven't dieted in years.  In this episode, I break down why most people can't shift their visceral belly fat, and why it keeps coming back when they do. I cover the crash diet and cardio trap, how your body gets better at storing fat every time you yo yo, and why building muscle is the key most people miss. Plus the nutrition mistakes that quietly add hundreds of calories a day, and how my clients Anna and Lester lost visceral fat and kept it off. Want my free training and nutrition plan?

Kirk’s training and nutrition breakdown starts at 50:22. Free Live Workshop: https://www.optimiseyourbody.com/free-workshop Description: Most people try to get lean by eating less, cutting carbs and going all in, then wonder why it falls apart by the weekend. Kirk Miller and I were both all or nothing for years. In this episode, he explains why that mindset is a cop out, how he keeps founders and leaders lean year round, and why starting too low leaves you with nowhere to go.

I used to destroy myself in the gym in my 20s and got away with it. In my 30s, I can't. In this episode: why training harder is stopping you building muscle, how I train now, and how many sets, how often and how hard I use with my clients over 40.

I competed nine times, got to 4% body fat, and ended up in the worst shape of my life. This is what changed, and why your weight swings so much when you finally eat enough to build muscle.

In this episode, I break down why grinding out 15+ sets to absolute failure is slowing down your gains, and why dropping volume, training shy of failure, and focusing on mechanical tension is the smartest way to build muscle and optimise recovery as you get older.

In this episode I sit down with mental health consultant and mind coach Anthony Hartcher to talk about the all or nothing mindset and why it's quietly wrecking so many people's health. We get into why our brains default to black and white thinking, how emotions drive behaviour more than we realise, and a simple tool you can use to stop reacting and start responding, especially in relationships and hard conversations. Anthony also opens up about a major turning point in his own life, and what it taught him about letting go of labels and identities that no longer serve him. If you've ever felt stuck between all in or all off with your health, your work, or your relationships, this one's for you.
