This episode is brought to you by Cowboy Colostrum, BUBS Naturals, and Hollow Socks.

If you’ve ever felt buried by all the health advice out there, the hacks, the supplements, the trackers, the endless protocols, you’re not alone. With so much noise, it’s easy to believe the next big breakthrough is some new gadget or complicated routine. But the real transformation comes consistently from nailing the fundamentals. 

Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we’re revisiting one of our most talked-about moments with exercise and nutrition expert Stan Efferding. Stan breaks down why returning to the basics of nutrition, training, sleep, and mindset will consistently outperform chasing the latest novelty. He also shares the key exercises to prioritize and the tried-and-true principles he’s refined over decades of working with athletes and everyday clients alike.

Stan Efferding is an IFBB Professional bodybuilder, World Record-holding powerlifter, and one of only ten men in the world to total over 2,300 pounds raw in competition, earning him the title of the World’s Strongest Bodybuilder. With a degree in Exercise Science from the University of Oregon, Stan has over 25 years of experience training high school, collegiate, and professional athletes. He conducts seminars nationwide, sharing expertise in sports, nutrition, and training techniques, and has been featured in publications like Muscular Development, Flex Magazine, and Power Magazine.
