The Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show with Ben Brown Why Structure Beats Intensity For Fat Loss After 40
Most men are not failing because they lack effort. They are failing because their system does not fit their life.
As I sit down with Eric Bach, we break down why driven men starting in their late 30s stop seeing progress, despite doing all the right things on paper. Eric has coached elite athletes and now works with busy parents and business owners who want results without burning out. We talk about why execution beats complexity, how real progress comes from nailing the basics consistently, smarter training for longevity, simplifying nutrition with the A.D.E. framework, and why sleep is one of the most overlooked performance tools of our health. This conversation is about building a training system that you can actually sustain.
Stop spinning your wheels and start training in a way that supports your work, family, and long-term health — Tune in now.
