My guest today asks: Are you skeptical of the fitness industry?

YES! It is my industry and I am super skeptical. The agenda fuelled misinformation propagated across health and fitness is both frustrating and infuriating.

Certified nutrition coach and high-performance physique engineer Philip Pape, embodies a healthy skepticism of exercise and nutrition science. His approach to achieving physical self-mastery through building muscle and losing fat, without dieting or restriction is refreshing and genuine.

I speak a lot about creating a body and life you love.

In this regard Philip and I are super aligned. He helps people use their wits to build their best body, reclaim their time, and become their most capable, confident selves in the gym and in life so they can show up and make an impact.

Now that impact component is key.

Whatever you are looking to achieve. However huge your goals – sculpting the body, more so, the Health that will allow you to be in the game long term, effectively and efficiently is vital.

Please enjoy this high energy, hopeful and actionable conversation about Becoming the Strongest, Leanest, Healthiest Version of Yourself Without Dieting with Philip Pape.

In this conversation we cover:

• Philip’s personal transformation to become the strongest, leanest, and healthiest version of himself.
• Philip’s podcast and brand is called Wits and Weights, what are some of the common mistakes smart people make when they are not using their wits to build their best body?
• The importance of minimum effective dose to achieve health and fitness results.
• The surprising factors that increase / decrease your metabolism to make fat loss easier, without dieting.
• Constantly dieting is getting you nowhere. What should you do instead?
• How to bust through a weight loss plateau.
• How we can stop fighting against our human nature and start working with it.
• Is your low-carb diet holding you back from getting lean?

You’ve likely noticed I have broadened – slightly – my guest range. This show will always platform the vegans and animals rights activists I most respect however also I am looking to get better at not preaching to the converted.

The global transition away from animal agriculture and indeed away from any animal exploitation I am seeking, will have to include – and WELCOME – the plant-based curious not only vegans.

Happily, while guesting on non-vegan shows I have discovered that there are compassionate and open-minded people outside my vegan bubble! That generally, we have more in common with someone than not. Who’d have thought?

Seriously though, I love Philip’s energy and respect his approach. If you are looking for a new fitness podcast I highly recommend Wits & Weights.
