If you’ve ever struggled to lose weight by cutting calories and exercising more, you’re not alone. As this week’s returning guest and best-selling author Gary Taubes points out, this outdated thinking isn’t going to help you lose weight or maintain a healthy weight, as you’ve probably already experienced. So what will? A high-fat keto diet. In this episode, you’ll find out why that is, the mechanisms behind why a keto diet works so well, who this diet is right for, and how specific hormones are affected by a high-fat diet. Gary also dives into why reducing calories doesn’t work, how obesity is connected to hormone issues, and the science of hunger, among other topics. Gary Taubes is an investigative health and science journalist and researcher as well as a best-selling author of The Case Against Sugar, Why We Get Fat and What to Do About It, and Good Calories, Bad Calories.

By tuning into this episode, you’ll have a sneak peek into the principles in his latest book and so much more. Tune into the episode now to see why cutting calories and exercising more isn’t the key to lose weight and what is instead.

If you’re someone who strength trains regularly yet you can’t seem to make any real progress, this podcast episode is for you. Dr. John Jaquish, who happens to be a scientist, inventor, and The Wall Street Journal best-selling author, explains in this podcast episode, this is an all too common problem that many gym goers face. And the root cause may surprise you. Dr. Jaquish believes that weight lifting is actually a huge waste of time. And no matter how many different programs you try, you’re not going to get the results you want because it’s an ineffective form of exercise. He also suggests that cardio is even worse for you. So the question becomes, what is the best way to workout? You’ll find the answer to that and more in this podcast episode. Along with that, Dr. Jaquish and Dr. Anthony Gustin dive into why going to the gym won’t help, how the equipment in most gyms is useless, genetic differences between athletes and regular people, and what it really takes to create muscle synthesis. Dr. John Jaquish has spent his life researching and developing a better approach to health. He understood that most people don’t have several hours per week to work out and, even if they did, it’s not an effective way to improve health. So he set out to change that and eventually invented a bone density building technology known as the X3. This powerful piece of equipment can help people build muscle faster than weight training and it has the lowest risk of joint injuries while doing so. His method is so powerful that the entire Miami Heat team uses it, along with other NFL and NBA athletes as well as Olypmians. Find out why that is and how you can improve your workout efforts today by tuning into the episode now.
