Find yourself in a vicious diet-binge cycle? Overwhelmed with all the fat loss advice out there? We are all exposed to a multitude of fad and short-term diet hacks and training programs that are band-aid and unsustainable approaches to weight loss. Dr. Andy Galpin uncovers the truth of fat loss through a biochemical lens. Using analogies that compare cooks to bakers, Dr. Andy uses a personalized approach, debunking common and generalized myths around the “best” diet and exercise methods for fat loss. He hones in on the importance of defining your priorities, identifying how you can align yourself and commit to a system compatible with your personality. He speaks to how you can optimize your goals through a realistic time frame and consistency, taking into account your work, family, relationships, physical training, and recovery. Through his expertise in biomechanics, he uses the foundational phenomenon of CO2 tolerance to explain methods to sustainable fat loss, as well as how CO2 tolerance relates to recovery, overtraining, and trait state anxiety. Get ready to listen in on how Dr. Andy simplifies the truth about fat loss.
