In this podcast episode, Martin discusses the challenges of simultaneously building muscle and losing fat. The key insights are: - It's not possible to "turn fat into muscle" as they are different types of tissue that require distinct processes. Some individuals like beginners or those with significant fat to lose may be able to build muscle and lose fat simultaneously.For those already lean, it's highly unlikely to achieve both fat loss and muscle gain at the same time. To optimally build muscle, a calorie surplus of around 5% above maintenance is recommended. Tracking progress with a DEXA scan and aiming for a 2:1 ratio of muscle gain to fat gain when bulking is advisedBuilding muscle should be the primary focus, aiming for 1-1. 5 pounds of muscle gain per month. Alternating between surplus and slight deficit periods can maximise muscle growth while minimising fat gain. Tracking food intake and calories is crucial for effective muscle-building and fat loss. A patient, methodical approach centred around building muscle is advocated, with a focus on discipline, support, and tracking progress.00:00:00 - The Balancing act of Building Muscle and Fat Loss 00:01:20 - Building Muscle and Losing Fat Simultaneously00:02:59 - Muscle Building and Fat Loss Dynamics00:04:55 - The Sweet Spot for Lean Bulking00:06:43 - Realistic Muscle Gain Expectations00:09:04 - Building Muscle Boosts Metabolism00:10:45 - Simple Surplus Formula for Muscle Building00:11:48 - Calculating Calorie Surplus for Muscle Building00:13:13 - Sustainable Weight and Muscle Gain00:15:07 - Balancing Muscle Building and Fat Loss00:16:15 - Sustainable Approach to Weight Loss00:18:31 - Tracking Weight Loss and Building Muscle00:20:01 - Structured Workout Routine for Muscle BuildingSubscribe to the OYB email newsletter below and get your FREE Training & Nutrition Plan:https://mailchi.mp/1fe353b57501/level-up-7-day-challengeConnect with Martin Silva: (Social media handles, Website - hyperlinked)https://www.instagram.com/martinsilvafitness/https://www.tiktok.com/@martinsilvafitness

Grady Baker, a 52-year-old marketing executive, shares his fitness journey of losing fat and gaining muscle through lifestyle changes and consistent strength training. Despite being an avid cyclist, Grady struggled with gaining body fat until he prioritised his health with the help of a coach. He overcame challenges like a busy work schedule and transitioning from CrossFit to gym workouts.Grady & Martin discuss the importance of self-compassion, building sustainable habits around food and exercise, and avoiding being overly critical when slipping up.

Visceral fat surrounds internal organs and can contribute to chronic inflammation and disease.Reducing visceral fat can improve or eliminate associated health conditions. Myosteatosis, or fatty infiltration of muscle tissue, leads to loss of muscle function and mobility, especially in older adults. It doubles the risk of mortality compared to obesity alone.Different types of subcutaneous fat have varying effects - some are protective, while others release inflammatory molecules and impact physical performance. Excess fat around the heart can be reduced through dietary changes. Atopic, cardio, and other visceral fats are unhealthy and should be avoided.Getting scans and working with a doctor to eliminate these fat deposits is recommended. Maintaining a healthy balance of protective subcutaneous fat is crucial, as extreme fat loss through procedures like liposuction or excessive bodybuilding can deplete this beneficial fat, leading to negative health consequences. The overall message emphasises understanding the nuances of different fat types and prioritizing overall health and balance rather than extreme fat loss or unrealistic physique goals.00:00:00 - Exploring Visceral Fat and Metabolic Health with Dr. Sean O'Mara00:03:12 - The Four Depots of Visceral Fat00:06:40 - The Four Dangerous Types of Fat in the Body00:14:58 - Identifying Hidden Fat Deposits with CT and MRI00:19:05 - The Dangers of Extreme Bodybuilding and the Benefits of Maintaining Healthy Body Composition00:25:04 - The Importance of Balanced Appearance for Influence and Success00:32:58 - The Power of Fats, Nitric Oxide, and Intense Exercise00:34:47 - Healthy Skin and Tanning at 5100:37:40 - The Importance of Sun Exposure and Natural Living00:39:26 - The Power of Natural Scents: Healthy Skin from the Inside Out00:43:41 - The Microbiome Benefits of Ocean Immersion00:45:40 - Optimising Microbiome and Fasting for Health00:49:40 - Optimise Health: Ditch Carbs, Embrace Ferments, and Get Scanned00:52:46 - Overcoming Health Challenges Through Personalised ProgramsSubscribe to the OYB email newsletter below and get your FREE Training & Nutrition Plan:https://mailchi.mp/1fe353b57501/level-up-7-day-challengeConnect with Dr. Sean O'Marahttps://www.growingbetternotolder.com/https://www.instagram.com/drseanomara/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXSU6RrQk5er2YeFCjN4OHwConnect with Martin Silva:https://www.instagram.com/martinsilvafitness/https://www.tiktok.com/@martinsilvafitness

Mike Millner shares his inspiring weight loss journey, losing over 100 pounds and keeping it off for over a decade. After struggling with unhealthy habits in college, Mike found success through strength training and guidance from a mentor who encouraged him to become a personal trainer. His story highlights the importance of finding a sustainable approach and having a supportive community.Martin and Mike discuss the importance of addressing the psychology and habits behind our relationship with food, rather than just tracking macros or following fad diets. True, lasting change comes from shifting one's identity and making nutrition feel automatic, not relying on temporary approaches. They emphasise the need for an identity shift, seeing oneself as a fit, healthy person, rather than just trying to lose weight temporarily.Habits and behaviours stem from one's core identity, and permanent change comes from embracing a new sense of self. The speakers advocate for a holistic, lifestyle-focused approach to weight management and metabolism, focusing on sustainable habits that can be maintained long-term while still achieving goals. The key is to focus on the process, not just the outcome.Managing stress is also crucial for a healthy metabolism. While acute stressors like exercise can be positive, chronic stress from poor diet, sedentary lifestyle, or emotional factors can be detrimental. Finding balance through quality foods, movement, and emotional management is key.00:00:01 - From Overweight to Healthy: My Fitness Journey00:02:56 - From Yo-Yo Dieting to Sustainable Nutrition00:05:18 - From PT to Nutrition Mastery: A Personal Journey00:06:52 - Shifting Identity for Lasting Lifestyle Change00:10:15 - The Importance of Sustainable Lifestyle Changes00:12:55 - Optimising Metabolism: Nutrition, Activity, and Stress00:15:26 - Managing Chronic Stress for Metabolic Health00:18:37 - Developing a Healthy Relationship with All Foods00:20:50 - Empowering Nutrition: Focus on Adding Before Subtracting00:23:21 - Assess Your Starting Point for Transformation00:25:47 - Optimising Daily Routines and Reducing Stress00:28:23 - Sustaining Lifestyle Changes: Simplicity and Probability00:30:36 - The Importance of Building a Solid Foundation00:32:11 - Tracking Macros: A Useful Tool for Weight Loss00:35:39 - The Power of Food Tracking for Weight Loss00:37:31 - Tracking Habits Improve Mindful Eating00:39:08 - Macros for the Average Person00:41:49 - Personalised Neurotype Training for Behaviour ChangeSubscribe to the OYB email newsletter below and get your FREE Training & Nutrition Plan:https://mailchi.mp/1fe353b57501/level-up-7-day-challengeConnect with Mike Miller: https://www.instagram.com/coach_mike_millner/https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mind-over-macros/Connect with Martin Silva: https://www.instagram.com/martinsilvafitness/https://www.tiktok.com/@martinsilvafitnesshttps://www.youtube.com/c/MartinSilvaWBFFPro

Dr. Stephanie Estima shares her expertise on optimising women's health during Peri-menopause and menopause, focusing on meals, muscles, and mindset. Her book "The Betty Body" explores training and nourishing the body based on monthly hormonal cycles. Steph describes the physical and emotional challenges of the luteal phase and how it can predict the menopausal transition. She highlights how hormones like oestrogen and testosterone peak around ovulation, impacting motor skills and learning.Building muscle mass through targeted training becomes crucial during Peri-menopause/menopause for bone density and metabolism. Resistance training is emphasised over excessive HIIT for women in this transition to build quality muscle, support cardiovascular health as oestrogen declines, and avoid increased belly fat. The importance of strength training over excessive cardio is discussed, as building muscle boosts metabolism and leads to true fat loss over time, especially as we age.00:00:01 - Ageing Well with Dr. Stephanie Estima00:02:01 - Optimising Women's Health with the Menstrual Cycle00:05:48 - Adapting Women's Health Across the Menstrual Cycle00:07:38 - The Cyclical Nature of Women's Hormones and Its Impact00:11:38 - Maintaining Strength and Muscle Mass Through Perimenopause00:17:42 - Overcoming Stubborn Fat Gain Through Strength Training00:20:54 - The Endorphin Rush and Muscle Maintenance00:25:05 - Debunking the Myth of Women Getting "Bulky" from Lifting Weights00:28:34 - Lean Muscle and Metabolism00:29:41 - Exploring Nutrition and Intermittent Fasting Differences00:32:31 - Optimising Protein Intake for Women as They Age00:41:15 - Optimising Protein Intake for Menopausal Women00:44:23 - Importance of Magnesium, Omega-3s, and Vitamin D for Women00:48:25 - The Brain Benefits of Creatine for Women00:52:18 - Reclaiming Time: Overcoming Digital Distractions00:56:34 - Balancing Technology and ParentingConnect with Dr. Stephanie Estima:Dr. Steph' IG: https://www.instagram.com/dr.stephanie.estima/Podcast https://drstephanieestima.com/podcast/The Betty Body Book: https://drstephanieestima.com/book/Subscribe to the OYB email newsletter below and get your FREE Training & Nutrition Plan:https://mailchi.mp/1fe353b57501/level-up-7-day-challengeConnect with Martin Silva: (Social media handles, Website - hyperlinked)https://www.instagram.com/martinsilvafitness/https://www.tiktok.com/@martinsilvafitnesshttps://www.youtube.com/c/MartinSilvaWBFFPro

He emphasises addressing chronic conditions holistically, without relying on pharmaceuticals or invasive interventions.O'Mara overcame issues like heartburn, sleep apnea, and debilitating pain by adopting a Paleo diet, frustrated with the medical system's symptom-based approach. His epiphany came when lifestyle changes dramatically improved his health, leading him to research why these dietary approaches weren't more widely promoted. Through studying animals in the wild, O'Mara's research found that eating clean, whole foods and engaging in high-intensity, functional movements can reverse chronic diseases and improve fertilityReducing visceral fat, the fat around internal organs, emerged as a critical biomarker for improved health and longevity. O'Mara advises avoiding ultra-processed foods and refined carbohydrates, which contribute to visceral fat accumulation. He highlights the importance of adopting a healthier, low-carb lifestyle for overall well-being and fertility.Visible signs like limbal rings around the eyes and pores on the nose can indicate inflammation and oxidative stress linked to a processed food diet.00:00:01 - From Unhealthy Physician to Health Optimisation Expert00:03:16 - From Chronic Illness to Paleo Diet Transformation00:05:58 - From Disease to Health: A Physician's Journey00:10:17 - Visceral Fat: A Biomarker for Health and Fertility00:13:42 - Visualising Visceral Fat Through Abdominal Scans00:16:31 - Reducing Visceral Fat: Quality over Quantity00:20:25 - Biomarkers of Health: Limbal Rings and Nose Pores00:26:24 - Eliminating Visceral Fat Through Lifestyle Changes00:29:52 - The Influence of Gut Microbiome on Lifestyle and Cravings00:39:36 - Tracking Visceral Fat with MRI Scans00:44:25 - The Skin's Revealing Insights: From Penile Veins to Skin Turgor00:48:21 - The Power of Collagen and Lifestyle Changes for Skin Health00:53:37 - Optimising Health Beyond Revenue00:58:10 - Alcohol's Impact: Moderation vs Destruction01:00:30 - From Film Editor to Leather Artisan: A Transformation Story01:04:25 - Health and Performance OptimisationSubscribe to the OYB email newsletter below and get your FREE Training & Nutrition Plan:https://mailchi.mp/1fe353b57501/level-up-7-day-challengeConnect with Dr. Sean O'Mara:https://drseanomara.com/https://www.instagram.com/drseanomara/https://x.com/drseanomaraConnect with Martin Silva: https://www.instagram.com/martinsilvafitness/https://www.tiktok.com/@martinsilvafitnesshttps://www.youtube.com/c/MartinSilvaWBFFProcom/@martinsilvafitness

He initially thought type 2 diabetes was primarily genetic, but realised lifestyle factors like diet and exercise are crucial. Genetics don't seal one's fate, environmental factors like diet and exercise have a huge impact on health outcomes. Insulin resistance is linked to running out of space to store calories in muscle or fat cells. The "P.E. Diet" focuses on protein and energy balance rather than restricting carbs or fats. Humans obtain nutrients by consuming other living organisms, which get energy from plants via photosynthesis. A higher protein percentage of calories (20-33%) is more satiating and can help with weight loss compared to the modern 12.5% protein diet. The protein-to-non-protein energy ratio is one of the most important dietary factors. Foods with more protein, fibre, and water have higher "satiety per calorie" and can prevent overeating. Understanding satiety per calorie can help make better food choices for gaining or losing weight.00:00:00 - Free Metabolic Assessment and Optimizing Health00:01:41 - From Engineering to Medicine: A Winding Career Path00:04:59 - Diabetes, Diet, and Exercise: The Powerful Interplay00:10:12 - Exploring the PE Diet: Protein and Energy00:12:34 - The Role of Protein and Minerals in Plant and Animal Nutrition00:16:13 - The Power of Protein: Satiety and Calorie Control00:20:17 - Satiety Per Calorie: The Key to Healthy Eating00:23:57 - Exploring the Spectrum of Satiety per Calorie in Foods00:28:03 - Processed vs. Unprocessed Foods: Nuancing the Debate00:31:38 - Protein Bars vs. Whole Foods for Satiety00:36:04 - Explaining Volume Eating: Mechanical Distension and Satiating Low-Calorie Foods00:39:48 - Optimizing Protein Intake and Exercise for Weight Loss00:44:03 - The Power of Resistance Training for Sustainable Fat Loss00:46:18 - The Benefits of Building Lean Muscle Mass00:50:38 - Calisthenics: Bodyweight Training at Home00:52:38 - The Benefits of Bodyweight Exercises for Longevity00:55:36 - Finding the Right Fitness Balance00:58:48 - Exploring Ted Naiman's Work: Books, Brands, and Nutrition AppsSubscribe to the OYB email newsletter below and get your FREE Training & Nutrition Plan:https://mailchi.mp/1fe353b57501/level-up-7-day-challengeConnect with Dr. Ted Naiman:https://www.instagram.com/tednaimanhttps://x.com/tednaimanhttps://www.youtube.com/user/tednaimanConnect with Martin Silva: https://www.instagram.com/martinsilvafitness/https://www.tiktok.com/@martinsilvafitnesshttps://www.youtube.com/c/MartinSilvaWBFFPro

Dave Feldman, an engineer by trade, discovered the low-carb, high-fat diet in 2015 to avoid becoming diabetic like much of his family. However, his cholesterol levels shot up, sparking his obsession to understand the underlying mechanisms. Despite his family members seeing only marginal increases on the same diet, Dave's cholesterol nearly doubled, leading him to delve deeper into the science behind cholesterol and how it's regulated in the body.His engineering background helped him approach the issue systematically, ultimately enabling him to gain a deeper understanding of the complex system that moves cholesterol around, which has since allowed him to share valuable insights with others. Dave shares his journey of overcoming fear and learning about the importance of fat metabolism for health. He explains that when you are metabolically healthy and powered by fat, your body needs to transport fat and fat-soluble vitamins through the bloodstream using lipoproteins.LDL and HDL have been labeled "bad" and "good" cholesterol based on cardiovascular disease risk association. - When triglycerides are low, HDL tends to be high as it picks up components during the lipoprotein delivery process, linked to metabolic health. - Higher LDL cholesterol levels can occur when people become healthier, which can be confusing for healthcare providersGenetic predisposition also plays a role. - Higher fibre intake and resistance training can help with cholesterol clearance and LDL particle uptake by muscle tissue. - ApoB, the major protein in lipoproteins, may be a better marker for atherogenic risk than LDL alone"Lean mass hyper-responders" have high LDL, high HDL, and low triglycerides, potentially due to efficient fat metabolism and rapid lipoprotein turnover rather than a "traffic jam" of lipids.00:00:01 - Cholesterol Experiments Led to Research Career00:04:32 - The Role of Lipoproteins in Transporting Fats and Cholesterol00:09:11 - Understanding Cholesterol Types and Metabolism00:13:07 - Navigating Cholesterol Levels for Metabolic Health00:14:34 - The Impact of Metabolic Health and Exercise on LDL Cholesterol00:18:08 - Exploring the Science of LDL and Cholesterol00:22:41 - Cholesterol Levels and Metabolic Health00:38:26 - Navigating Metabolic Health and Processed Foods00:41:58 - The Importance of Whole Food Nutrition00:45:01 - Finding Balance in Dietary Changes00:50:07 - Optimizing Protein Intake and Strength Training for Metabolism and Longevity00:54:24 - Navigating High LDL Levels: Medication vs. Lifestyle Changes00:58:28 - The Power of Blood Work: Tracking Insulin and Glucose LevelsConnect with Dave Feldman: (Social media handles, Website - hyperlinked)https://www.instagram.com/realdavefeldmanhttps://x.com/realDaveFeldmanhttps://cholesterolcode.com/Connect with Martin Silva: (Social media handles, Website - hyperlinked)https://www.instagram.com/martinsilvafitness/https://www.tiktok.com/@martinsilvafitnesshttps://www.youtube.com/c/MartinSilvaWBFFPro
