If you want to get leaner and live longer, check out What if your low energy, poor sleep, and lack of drive aren’t just signs of getting older… but signs that you’ve stopped taking care of yourself? In this episode, I talked with Ali Gilbert, a coach who works with men on their health, hormones, and habits. We got into why so many men feel like they’ve lost their edge and why it’s not just about testosterone. It’s about stress, poor recovery, and not asking for help until things get worse. We covered what really causes low sex drive, how stress and past experiences can affect performance, and why some men feel stuck trying to live up to an outdated idea of masculinity. Ali shared what she sees with men in their 40s, 50s, and 60s who’ve spent years focused on work and family, only to realize their health has taken a back seat. We also ran through common myths about testosterone and which methods actually help. Key Takeaways: Masculinity doesn’t mean hiding your emotions Low sex drive and energy are often signs of stress, not just low testosterone You can’t lead, protect, or provide at your best if your health is falling apart. Resources: Ali Gilbert is a men’s health expert known for helping men optimize their hormones, especially testosterone, through smart training, lifestyle strategies, and lab-based health insights.

You think you’re addicted to sugar… but it’s way deeper than that. In this episode, Nate Palmer exposes the real root of cravings: dopamine addiction. We’ll break down how modern life hijacks your brain’s reward system, why your ancient biology can’t handle 24/7 comfort, and how you can take back control without relying on willpower alone. From prehistoric dopamine cycles to the modern sugar scroll-swipe-snooze trap, this is your wake-up call. If you feel stuck, lazy, unmotivated, or constantly reaching for snacks—you don’t need more discipline. You need a dopamine reset. What You’ll Learn: Why your brain is addicted to comfort—not calories The wild difference between ancient dopamine cycles and modern life How porn, DoorDash, and TikTok rewire your nervous system Why fasting isn’t just fat loss—it’s a mental upgrade The 4-part blueprint to rebuild your discipline and dopamine sensitivity The one mantra to dominate cravings, fatigue, and mental resistance: “I don’t take orders from cowards.” Resources Mentioned The Comfort Crisis by Michael Easter 2016 Stanford Study on dopamine and motivation 2021 Frontiers in Psychology study on compulsive porn use 5-Day Sugar Detox:

If you want to get leaner and live longer, check out What if the reason you keep failing on your diet has nothing to do with food... and everything to do with how you see yourself? In this episode, I sat down with registered dietitian Andres Ayesta to talk about why fat loss isn’t about finding the perfect meal plan. We talked about how most people chase quick fixes like keto or 75 Hard, but never shift their identity. Andrés shared how he helps clients focus less on perfection and more on becoming the kind of person who lives healthy habits day after day. We broke down why mindset matters more than macros, why confusion around food is often intentional, and how sustainable results come from building simple routines and aligning your actions with your long-term vision. Key Takeaways: People won’t act outside their identity—mindset comes first. Having a plan after “the plan” is key to sustainability. Athletes succeed with focus and a growth mindset, not just genetics. Resources: Andrés Ayesta is a registered dietitian and online nutrition coach who helps busy men over 30 improve their health through simple, sustainable habits. With a background in sports nutrition and years of experience working with both athletes and everyday clients, he focuses on mindset, behavior change, and building long-term systems—not quick fixes.

299: The Food Pyramid is a Scam (The Truth about Government Nutrition Guidelines)
You’ve been told to trust the experts. To eat more grains. To fear fat. But what if the very foundation of our nutrition guidelines was built not on science—but on religion, corporate funding, and government agendas? In this eye-opening solo episode, Nate Palmer breaks down the wild (and true) history behind the food pyramid. From enemas and yogurt colonics at Battle Creek Sanitarium, to Kellogg’s anti-sex cereal crusade, to the billions that Big Food and Big Ag poured into shaping what you eat today—this episode is a masterclass in how we got here… and how to escape it. If you’ve ever wondered why the standard American diet is so broken, this is your moment of clarity. What You’ll Learn: Why the food pyramid was never based on health—but on economics and politics The bizarre religious roots of our dietary guidelines (yes, cereal was invented to stop masturbation) How the USDA’s dual mission created a massive conflict of interest The real reason fat was demonized—and who profited most from it How corporate donations to organizations like the American Heart Association shaped public perception What you can do today to eat against the pyramid and reclaim your health Resources & References: Procter & Gamble’s $1.7M donation to the American Heart Association McGovern Committee Dietary Goals (1977) Sugar Research Foundation’s funded studies to blame fat over sugar (1967) USDA Farm Subsidy Data (1995–2020, via EWG.org) Kellogg and Battle Creek Sanitarium archives Loma Linda University & Seventh-day Adventist dietary influence

298: The Hidden Lever for Getting Lean and Jacked Ft. Joel Staley
If you want to get leaner and live longer, check out What if the reason you’re not losing weight isn’t just your food—but how you see yourself? In this episode, I sat down with Joel Staley, a coach who helps men lose fat and feel better by changing their habits and how they think about themselves. We talked about how easy it is to get stuck in a “fat dad” identity and how to shift into a new version of yourself, one small step at a time. Joel shared how he used 72-hour fasts to reset his body and mind, and how creating a “mind movie” he watches every morning helps him stay focused on the kind of life he wants to live. He even told a story about visualizing himself driving a sports car through the mountains… and how that exact moment actually happened in real life months later. We also talked about why most guys don’t need more diet info, they need a reason to believe they can change, some wins under their belt, and people in their corner who won’t let them quit. If you’ve been feeling stuck or off-track, this episode will help you see what’s really possible. Key Takeaways: The subconscious mind doesn’t process negatives well, so it’s better to phrase things positively. Being consistent with your mindset practices builds resilience against setbacks. Negative labels from others can reinforce bad habits, so addressing or limiting those influences is important. Resources: Joel Staley is a fitness coach and author who focuses on mindset, behavior change, and sustainable health.

If you want to get leaner and live longer check out What if the “healthy balanced meals” you’ve been eating are actually slowing down your fat loss? In today’s episode of Get Leaner and Live Longer, Nate breaks down the biochemical trap of combining carbs and fats in the same meal — and why this combo might be the reason you're not seeing results. You’ll learn how to structure your meals for maximum fat-burning, steady energy, and simplified nutrition — without counting a single calorie. 💡 What You’ll Learn: Why mixing carbs and fats triggers fat storage The role of insulin and metabolic flexibility How to build meals that keep you full and lean The post-workout mistake that made Nate feel like trash A simple food timing tweak that helped one client drop 9 lbs in 3 weeks 🧪 Referenced Studies: Edgerton et al.

296: Do You Need TRT? Hormones, Sexual Health, and When to Start Testosterone Ft Patricia Zamora
If you want to get leaner and live longer, check out What if your low energy, brain fog, or poor sleep had more to do with your hormones than you realize? In this episode, I sat down with Patricia Zamora, a nurse practitioner who helps men improve their health through hormone balance. We talked about how to raise testosterone naturally, when TRT might be a good option, and why some men still don’t feel great even if their lab numbers look normal. Patricia shared why cardio is key for overall health, especially if you're on testosterone. We also covered how medications like Clomid and Enclomiphene work, and why many regular doctors aren’t fully trained in hormone therapy. We wrapped up with simple habits that can make a big difference, like walking more and slowing down with breathing or mindfulness. If you’ve been feeling off and want to get back to feeling like yourself, this episode is a great place to start. Key Takeaways: TRT Isn’t Always the First Step. Most doctors aren’t trained in hormone therapy. Don’t assume your GP is an expert. Hormone issues affect both partners. Couples should learn and work through it together. Resources: Patricia Zamora is a men’s health nurse practitioner who focuses on hormone optimization, testosterone therapy, and sexual wellness. With a passion for education and practical solutions, she helps men understand how lifestyle, stress, and medical care affect their hormones and overall health.

In today’s episode, I sat down with Dr. Erin Sheffield, a dentist, to explore how things like mouth breathing, dry mouth, and diet sodas contribute to tooth decay. Dr. Sheffield shared how mouth taping can help protect your teeth at night by reducing the effects of mouth breathing, and we discussed why fluoride in toothpaste plays a key role in remineralizing enamel. We also touched on some natural alternatives like Hydroxyapatite toothpaste for those wary of fluoride. Beyond just brushing and flossing, we talked about how making smart choices today can save you from expensive dental work down the line. Dr. Sheffield also emphasized the importance of preventive care, especially when it comes to making informed decisions about your oral health. Key Takeaways: Taking care of your teeth isn’t just about brushing twice a day. Don’t base your dental care decisions solely on insurance coverage. Diet sodas, even without sugar, are still very acidic and can erode enamel over time. Resources: Dr. Erin Sheffield is a dental expert who specializes in holistic oral health. With a focus on the connection between oral care and overall well-being, Dr. Sheffield provides practical advice on how habits like mouth breathing, diet, and fluoride use can impact your dental health.

We also explored what it means to choose an alcohol-free lifestyle. It’s not about being in recovery or saying no to something. It’s about choosing a different, better way to live. Key Takeaways: It’s not about quitting—it’s about choosing a lifestyle that works better for you. Entrepreneurs who drink may be leaving up to 20% of their income on the table Even small amounts of alcohol can have a big impact on your day-to-day life.

From struggling with diabetes to walking six miles a day, undergoing a double knee replacement, and traveling the world well into his 80s, his story is proof that it’s never too late to reclaim your health. A key factor in his father’s turnaround? Glutathione. Known as the body’s “master antioxidant,” it helps reduce oxidative stress, detoxify, and support the immune system. Boosting his levels improved blood sugar, energy, and recovery—helping him not just survive but thrive. We also talked about what happened when his father fell ill while traveling in India at 89. Even in his final days, he was fully living—showing that longevity isn’t just about adding years but making those years count.

What if your fitness routine wasn’t just about looking good, but about being truly ready for whatever life throws at you? What if losing weight and getting in shape wasn’t about following the latest diet trend, but about learning how to take control of your health for good? Today, I sat down with Drew Biemer, a coach who works with first responders and people looking to drop serious weight. His approach? No gimmicks, no fluff—just real, sustainable strategies to get strong, stay fit, and be prepared for anything. We talked about why first responders can’t afford to be out of shape and how their level of fitness can mean the difference between life and death in high-pressure situations. But even if you’re not a firefighter or police officer, these principles still apply—being in shape isn’t just about aesthetics, it’s about being able to show up for yourself and the people who rely on you. Drew also shared some straight-up truths about nutrition. If a box of cereal has to tell you it’s “healthy,” it probably isn’t. Instead of chasing trends, he breaks down how to make smarter food choices and build a diet that actually works for you. Key Takeaways: Discipline leads to freedom by giving individuals control over their health and fitness. Whole foods and proper nutrition are critical in performance and long-term health.

286: Your Gut is Making You Fat, Sick, and Tired Ft. Josh Dech
What if everything you thought you knew about autoimmune diseases was wrong? What if gut health holds the key to not just looking better but living longer and feeling your best? In today's episode, I sat down with gut health expert Josh Dech to challenge some big ideas about chronic illness. Josh broke down why conditions like Crohn’s and colitis might not be autoimmune at all—and what that means for the way we treat them. We talked about how gut health affects more than just digestion. It plays a huge role in brain function, skin health, and even how we age. Josh explained why mainstream medicine often focuses on treating symptoms instead of finding the root cause, leading many people to feel stuck in a cycle of medication without real healing. One of the most fascinating parts of our conversation was Josh’s theory that so-called “autoimmune” diseases might actually be the body responding to hidden infections—not attacking itself. If he's right, it could completely change the way we approach chronic illness. Key Takeaways: The medical system often focuses on symptoms rather than root causes. Many chronic diseases labeled as genetic or autoimmune may have environmental causes. Instead of accepting a diagnosis at face value, it is crucial to investigate potential root causes and seek solutions beyond conventional treatments. Resources: Josh Dech is a gut health specialist who helps people heal digestive issues like Crohn’s and colitis naturally. He focuses on finding the root causes of these conditions instead of just treating symptoms. Josh challenges common medical beliefs and shares simple, effective ways to improve gut health. @johndech.health (IG) _________________________________________ Host Nate Palmer The founder of The Million Dollar Body and Author of "The Million Dollar Body Method", Nate has been in the industry of coaching over 15 years and has worked with over 1000 clients personally.

285: Sex, Relationships, & Fitness - How to Talk to Your Partner about Getting in Shape Ft. Melissa Vogel
Ever wonder why some people crush their fitness goals while others struggle to stay on track? What if the biggest challenge isn’t just about workouts and meal plans but also about the people around us, our mindset, and how we see ourselves? In this conversation with Melissa Vogel, we discuss the deeper aspects of fitness beyond workouts and meal plans. Melissa shares how leading by example—especially as parents—plays a crucial role in shaping the habits of those around us. She highlights the importance of being mindful of our environment and the people we surround ourselves with and how their support (or lack of it) can impact our journey. We also dive into the topic of sabotage—both from others and from ourselves. Whether it’s a partner unintentionally offering temptations or internal struggles that make us slip back into old habits, Melissa explains how identity plays a huge role in making lasting change. Lastly, we touch on relationships and communication. Fitness isn’t just about physical health; it’s also about mindset and support systems. Having honest conversations, setting boundaries, and creating a space where both partners feel valued can make all the difference in maintaining long-term success. Key Takeaways: Self-sabotage happens when identity doesn’t align with new habits. Hard conversations are necessary for growth in both fitness and relationships. Words have power, so use them wisely.

284: Reclaiming Health after Anorexia & Obesity Ft Mark Ennis
In this episode, I sit down with Mark Ennis to talk about why so many people struggle with weight loss, stress, and hormones—even when they feel like they’re doing everything “right.” If you’ve been stuck in a cycle of dieting, endless cardio, and frustration, this conversation is for you. We understand why too much cardio can make things worse—spiking cortisol, messing with sleep, and making fat loss harder. Mark explains why strength training, especially for women, is a game-changer for balancing hormones and getting real results. Plus, we talk about something most fitness programs ignore—how men and women need to train differently because their bodies aren’t the same. Ignoring this has led to a rise in inflammation, fertility struggles, and a ton of other health problems. We also dive into the dark side of the fitness industry—why influencers push unrealistic programs that don’t work for people with jobs, families, and actual responsibilities. Mark shares his journey through anorexia, obesity, and self-doubt, and what he would say to his younger self if he could go back. Key Takeaways: Fixing hormone imbalances first makes losing weight way easier. The right information can change everything—ask better questions and trust the right people. We're all unique, so what works for one person might not work for another. Resources: Mark Ennis is a fitness coach and nutrition expert specializing in strength training, hormone health, and sustainable weight loss. After overcoming anorexia, obesity, and years of struggling with body image, he now helps men and women break free from extreme dieting and unrealistic fitness plans. Through his coaching and platform, Fitness Beyond Time, Mark focuses on balancing hormones, managing stress, and training smarter—not harder—to achieve lasting results.

283: The Truth About Belly Fat: 11 Hidden Reasons You’re Storing Visceral Fat (And How to Fix It)

283: The Truth About Belly Fat: 11 Hidden Reasons You’re Storing Visceral Fat (And How to Fix It)
Is belly fat just about eating less and moving more? Or is something else going on? In this episode, I break down why belly fat isn’t just a calorie problem—it’s a hormone, sleep, and stress problem too. If you’ve been grinding away at the gym, eating “clean,” and still not seeing results, there’s a good chance something deeper is at play. We’ll talk about how stress and cortisol can make you store more fat, why poor sleep leads to cravings and weight gain (even if you think you’re getting enough), and how hydration plays a way bigger role than most people realize. I also share what I learned from analyzing 500 sleep trackers—and why so many people are sleeping but not recovering. Fat loss isn’t about suffering through more cardio or cutting more calories. It’s about fixing the hidden issues that make your body hold onto fat. Small changes—like managing stress, optimizing sleep, and staying properly hydrated—can make fat loss feel way easier. Key Takeaways: Small, consistent changes lead to long-term fat loss rather than quick fixes. Drinking enough water isn’t just about hydration—it’s essential for metabolizing and eliminating fat. Fat loss happens primarily at night, so optimizing sleep is critical for results.

In this episode, I sit down with Sam Gibson, a rope flow coach and entrepreneur, to break down what it takes to learn a new skill. Sam shares his journey with rope flow, the challenges he faced early on, and why so many people give up before reaching their first breakthrough.

276: The Truth About Alcohol and Fat Burning
Did you know that every sip of alcohol pauses your body’s ability to burn fat and build muscle? In this episode, we uncover the science behind what happens when you drink and how it impacts your fitness goals. From the moment alcohol enters your system, your liver shifts focus to processing it as a toxin, leaving fat burning and muscle repair on hold. If you’re eating during this window, your body is more likely to store that food as fat. We’ll also dive into how alcohol slows down muscle recovery and share why timing your drinks could make a huge difference in your progress. But it’s not all bad news! This episode is packed with simple, actionable tips to minimize the damage while still enjoying a drink or two. Learn how adjusting your meal timing, stopping alcohol consumption earlier in the evening, and making smarter drink choices can help you stay on track with your fat loss and fitness goals. Whether you’re a casual drinker or enjoy happy hour a bit too much, this episode is your guide to finding balance without sacrificing results.
