The Better Man Podcast

Lee H., a 56-year-old wildlife photographer, hasn’t always been a bastion of health. After a shocking divorce, Lee ballooned up to almost 300 pounds even though he only stands 5’7” tall!

To make matters worse… Not only does Lee’s career make him put his body into bizarre positions—sometmes for hours at a time—but Lee also suffers from multiple familial lipoma syndrome: A rare, genetic skin condition that causes him to have 200-300 tumors on his body at any given time. 

And you know what?

Thanks to Man Flow Yoga, Lee lost 50+ pounds, extended his photography career, and used it as a starting point for dialing in his diet. 

Today, Lee’s happier, healthier, and more energetic in his mid-50s than he ever was in his 30s or 40s. And he has a ton of wisdom to help you live your healthiest life too, including…

• How to better prioritize your life to make fitness a breeze 
• How to bounce back after falling off your fitness journey
• Why yoga will make a bigger impact in your overall life than any other form of exercise (even if you laugh at the idea of yoga today)

And more!

• Why yoga is one of the best ways to fight against multiple familial lipoma syndrome (5:10)

BMP-Ep107: Why Implementing Change Slowly Unlocks Superior Results (Steve T.) 

While Steve has been a long-time hiker, he never really thought about exercise until he reached his mid-50s and noticed his body was starting to break down. Steve spent his career working a typical desk job where he hunched over a computer. And this caused immense knee and shoulder pain. 

Since he wanted to continue to hike as he aged, Steve knew he needed to do some form of exercise to keep his body free from pain. He thought yoga could keep his body in “hiking shape,” but the one hot yoga class he attended made him feel uncomfortable. Not only was the class hot, but he was the only guy in the class too. 

That’s when he searched for “yoga for men,” and became a Man Flow Yoga Member. This happened six years ago. 

While Steve still does yoga today, he went through a complete transformation that makes him feel better today, in his 60s, than perhaps he’s ever felt. 

What’s Steve’s secret? 

Focusing on the journey. Taking his health one manageable baby step at a time. And refusing to beat himself up if he misses a day or two. 

Steve’s chock-full of helpful mindsets, strategies, and tips that can help any man kickstart his fitness journey, including… 

• The biggest mistake men make which sabotages their fitness journey 
• The very first step to take to kickstart your fitness journey 
• How to continue adding and tweaking your regimen to grow healthier as you age 

And more! 

Highlights from this episode include: 

• Why strength-training becomes more important as you get older (3:03) 
• How Steve can bend over and squat without knee pain today—when his knee pain tormented him for several years (8:25) 
• The "smidge better” secret for exercising so consistently you no longer need willpower or motivation (12:26) 
• How to radically improve your body composition (even if you don’t lose a single pound on the scale) (17:01) 
• Why implementing change slowly leads to better long-term health outcomes than forcing yourself to do everything at once (22:29)  
• 6 benefits of strength training—and how you can start without pumping iron like Arnold Schwarzenegger (27:41) 
• 3 health perspectives to focus on that will make you healthier, happier, and more fit by this time next year (36:06) 

Listen now!

Quotes from this episode’s guest: 

• (2:38) The first thing I did was I started to incorporate walking and hiking. And that was a game changer because it got me started on my fitness journey. 
• (3:21) Strength training is important, especially as we get older. 
• (4:32) I didn’t know that yoga for men was a thing, I just knew that going to a hot yoga class with all women was just not what I was looking for. 
• (12:32) My motivation for being consistent was that every day I felt a smidge bit better.
• (16:28) Motion is lotion. 
• (22:57) Don't get bogged down in all the minutiae of detail with these programs. Implement change slowly. Take it as a journey, and don't force yourself to do this all at one time.
• (32:57) My trainer told me, “Your training that you've had with yoga has enabled you to incorporate the proper positions when you're doing your strength and resistance.”

Today’s guest, firefighter Bob M., routinely puts his body in precarious positions—crawling positions, in positions where his hands are above his head, and flexing his legs into bizarre positions—to save lives. Literally. 

Yet, despite being a firefighter, he’s never had an injury on the job. In fact, he’s kept his injury-free streak alive for the past five years thanks to Man Flow Yoga. 

Best part?

While his lack of injuries is great, the bizarre positions he puts his body into caused immense lower back and shoulder pain. But after doing yoga consistently for only 6 weeks, Bob freed himself of pain!

• Why men in their 30s and early 40s should start focusing on longevity now

• Why Bob hasn’t missed a firefighting shift since joining Man Flow Yoga (15:05) 
• How to reprogram your mitochondria so your body uses more oxygen (and why pushing yourself as hard as you can when exercising prevents this) (17:05) 
• The weird “breathing into your muscles” yoga trick that makes you a better parent (20:30) 
• Why things that don’t seem “manly” often help men the most (34:48)

• (8:19) The poses that suck the most are probably the ones you need the most.

For the past 17 years, today’s guest, Kyle R., has been committed to distance running. 

But this came with a steep toll to his joints: Shin splints, aching knees, and compromised ankle mobility threatened Kyle’s running life. 

Kyle didn’t want to give up running, but his body was betraying him. Until he started doing yoga more often. 

Not only did yoga extend his running life, but it’s also made significant improvements to his mental and overall health. 

In this episode, Kyle shares… 

• - How to balance yoga with other workouts 
• - Why “remembering the breath” can instantly lower your stress levels  
• - And simple language tweaks that help you stay consistent and committed 

Other highlights from this episode include: 

• Why yoga is the best way to prevent wear and tear injuries from running too much (2:44) 
• The “workout in your inbox” accountability trick Kyle uses to stay consistent (7:33) 
• Kyle’s favorite “fringe benefit” of yoga that he never imagined would happen (9:37)

Quotes from this episode’s guest: 

• (7:51) At the risk of sounding like I'm plugging Man Flow Yoga, I love the accountability emails. That for me is so helpful because if you have a workout in your inbox, then it's kind of like an agreement to myself that I’ve got something scheduled. 
• (10:32) A huge fringe benefit of yoga is how it can improve your mental wellness. 
• (20:45) There are gonna be setbacks and you're not always gonna be able to maintain a schedule like you want, but as long as you are doing something, you’ll be fine. 
• (25:11) You can't really rely on anyone else but yourself to get your fitness done. 
• (39:02) Yoga helps me when things get stressful: I always go back to remembering the breath.

Before discovering Man Flow Yoga, Richard B. (today’s Better Man Podcast guest) developed intense hip pain from his job. His pain was so strong that he actually thought he developed a kidney stone!

As he started doing physical therapy for his pain, he was reminded of how similar physical therapy and yoga are. Unlike most Man Flow Yoga Members, yoga played a large role in Richard’s fitness regimen for most of his life. 

While he preferred doing yoga in a yoga studio with others, he quickly changed his tune after his first Man Flow Yoga session. 

Why?

Well, the muscle activation aspect of Man Flow Yoga taught him more about his body and yoga than he ever experienced in a studio class before!

Not only did this help him eliminate his pain, but he also started growing stronger after each session too. This snowballed into a complete transformation towards health:

After adding Man Flow Yoga into the mix, Richard felt confident to tackle his weight with nutrition and to try lifting weights for the first time in his life. 

Five years later, Richard is still doing yoga, strength training, and following a nutrition plan that makes him feel better as he ages instead of worse. In fact, despite being 73 years old, he routinely feels like he’s in his 40s or 50s. 

In this episode, Richard shares some of his best secrets and strategies that make him feel years younger than most guys his age, including… 

• How to step onto your yoga mat (even when you don’t want to) 
• Why noticing subtle improvements keeps your motivational tank full 
• Richard’s top 3 tips for men who want to become healthier

Some highlights from this episode include: 

• Why muscle activation yoga (instead of passive stretching yoga) yields better long-term strength, flexibility, and mobility results (3:59) 
• Why the “Man Flow Yoga way” of yoga is more effective at eliminating pain and building strength than the “yoga studio way” (6:53) 
• The “closer to the ground” nutrition tip responsible for Richard dropping 29 pounds before his daughter’s wedding (15:14) 
• How to feel at least 10 to 20 years younger (Richard is 73, but feels like he’s in his 40s!) (16:45) 
• Why deadlines are the single most effective tactic for achieving your goals (17:25) 
• The insidious way something as innocent as white bread makes Richard’s heart rate skyrocket (and how to better “spot” foods that compromise your health) (19:41) 
• The “Peanut Butter & Jelly” secret for combining yoga and strength training to unlock impressive fitness benefits in a fraction of the time (23:18) 
• Richard’s top 3 best tips for men who want to become healthier (43:10) 

Listen now!Quotes from this episode’s guest: 

• (4:32) [Man Flow Yoga] is not your father’s yoga. 
• (4:55) Muscle activation is the only way to go [in yoga]. 
• (6:53) I would do it the studio way, then I would do it the Man Flow Yoga way, and I would better understand what I'm doing. I would know what muscles I'm supposed to be activating. [A]nd I would feel better. 
• (8:05) I could be having a bad day, I could be having a bad week, a bad month and I can jump into a routine and I always always always feel better afterwards.
• (17:05) [Man Flow Yoga and eating right] just made me feel so much better than I thought I would ever feel at my age.
• (24:18) I realized lifting helps me with yoga, and yoga helps me with lifting. They work so closely together.
• (29:44) [The Man Flow Yoga] community is phenomenal. This community would be worth the price of membership alone.
• (37:36)  You have to be willing to push yourself and do it when you don't want to do it. You have to know that on the other side of that routine or that gym time, whatever, that there's going to be a payoff.

During covid, Anthony, today’s Better Man Podcast guest, was furloughed from his job and spent his days doing nothing other than playing video games.

But then, his Husky was more excited than most days, and this kickstarted a chain reaction in Anthony’s mind: His dog was going crazy because he lacked exercise. And so was Anthony. 

Despite never having a formal fitness regimen, Anthony started walking. Then he found Man Flow Yoga. To date, he’s lost 75 pounds and actually looks forward to his next workout. 

How did he do it? And how can you go on a similar fitness journey? 

Anthony reveals some of his best strategies for kickstarting your fitness journey (even if you’ve never worked out before) in today’s show. 

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why small steps lead to a infinitely better (and healthier) future you
• The trick for harnessing negative self-talk in a productive way 
• How your fitness journey impacts and inspires your loved ones 

And more, including… 

• Anthony lost 75 pounds of fat thanks to Man Flow Yoga—here’s how… (0:29) 
• Haven't worked out in years or decades? Anthony reveals why it’s not as hard as it seems to start working out (4:53)

Quotes from this episode’s guest: 

• (3:24) I don’t have a conscious memory as an adult being under 200 lbs. 
• (2:53) I started with yoga, it was something that I really enjoyed and I dove right into it. Then it was kind of just a snowball from there because I figured out that I actually like exercising, which who knew? 
• (14:48) You can sit there and tell yourself negative things all the time, but that's not necessarily productive.
• (28:53) I think [community is] a very, very underrated tool. And so, so important. Especially for me, again, where I had no formal fitness background, I didn't do any sports in high school. My siblings didn't do sports in high school. My parents didn't have any exercise regimen. I didn't have the people around me to kind of show me how that worked. And then joining, for example, your Facebook group, The Man Flow Yoga community, it really helped to see, “Oh, I'm not the only person that's struggling with this." Or, "Oh, I'm not the only person that has this problem."
• (41:45) If you wouldn’t say it to someone else, why would you say it to yourself?

Adam’s dad died when he was only 49 years old. But when Adam turned 50, instead of using his father’s passing to inspire him, it almost made him give up on life. 

After celebrating his 50th birthday, Adam sank into a hole of despair. He ate too much, drank too often, and his marriage was on the verge of collapse—especially because E.D. issues kept showing up for him in the bedroom. 

Adam wasn’t happy with his life, his fitness, or in his marriage. But then he made a realization: He didn’t have to spend the rest of his life miserable and lonely. 

That’s how he discovered the Sexual Wellness playlist on the Man Flow Yoga YouTube channel. After 30 days of following “yoga for E.D.” workouts, he performed spontaneously with his wife—and the rest is history!

Today, Adam works out six times a week, has lost 70+ pounds, and has never had a better relationship with his wife. 

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• How to get started with a new fitness routine (even if you haven’t worked out in years) 
• Why it’s possible to be healthier and happier in your 50s than you were in your 30s 
• Can E.D. be a gift disguised as a curse?

And more, including… 

• The sneaky way outliving his father caused Adam’s health to fall off the rails (0:37) 
• 3 devastating consequences men must face after turning 50—and how Man Flow Yoga can help you prevent them (2:15) 
• Why having a program to follow is the single best strategy for finally working out consistently (3:10)

• How to become comfortable with taking your shirt off on the beach (even if it’s been 20+ years like it has for Adam) (28:00) 

Listen now!

Quotes from this episode’s guest: 

• (1:57) spent my 40s trying to be 30 again: I would work out in bursts. It was super intense and I would get myself hurt. And then I'd have to take weeks off being injured and I would sit around, feel sorry for myself and eat and drink too much. 
• (2:55) But I really enjoyed the playlists. They were organized real well, like for your knees, for your back, for your sexual health, all those things that guys over 50 need. And I certainly needed help with all three of those. 
• (5:30) That's what I realized. I've only got nine holes left. There's no more time to goof around. I want to be different. So I started really focusing on my fitness and my health. And Man Flow Yoga definitely was a part of that.
• (13:21) I'll be honest, this is the dumbest thing anybody's ever said, but I didn't even know men had a pelvic floor until you were like, "Breathe into your pelvic floor." I never paid attention to my pelvic floor. Now I can control it.
• (21:15) I still eat ice cream, I still have fries, just not all the time anymore. That was really the big thing.
• (23:00) I've lived in Florida for 22 years now, and last year was the first year I felt comfortable enough taking my shirt off at the beach. And that's huge for me, huge. /// We have a pool in our house. I used to swim in it with a T -shirt because even in my own house, I wasn't comfortable taking my shirt off. Now, I find any excuse to take my shirt off. 
• (36:37) Start now. Don't wait. And everything you do is better than doing nothing. So if all you've got time for is a 10 minute walk, it beats sitting on the couch. Get up and do something.

• Why following a workout program eliminates the shame and guilt you feel on rest days (13:15)

A topic that gets mentioned on every episode of the Better Man Podcast is simple: How you can become a better man. 

But until today, we’ve never had the ability to really pull back the analytics and examine the cold, hard data. That’s why I invited Ben Wigert and Mike Ritz from Gallup. For the past 89 years, Gallup has found analytical insights and trends about how to become happier, what makes someone more fulfilled, and how you can become more content with your life (despite the various struggles we all battle). 

And today, Ben and Mike share some of Gallup’s findings with you, so you can use their data-backed insights to improve your life and become a better man. 

In this episode, we discuss: 

• The 4 types of people and how they solve burnout in wildly different ways 
• The 5 areas of wellbeing backed by 80+ years of research from Gallup 
• How understanding Gallup’s “Composite Happiness Metric” shows you how to enhance your happiness in a proven way 

And so many more actionable insights, based on 80+ years of data and research, that will help you become a better man, including… 

• Why global happiness tends to decline with age (and how to best protect your happiness as you grow wiser) (7:40) 
• According to Gallup, about 15% of people experience loneliness on a daily basis—here’s three things you can do to prevent it (10:50) 
• The single biggest correlate factor in Gallup’s “Composite Happiness Metric” (12:52)  
• How to determine the most effective way to reduce your burnout—and why this varies from person to person (24:43) 
• Here’s proof that your physical health, mental health, and career are inextricably connected (31:03) 
• Are men more likely to experience burnout than women? Here are 4 reasons why they are… (38:24) 
• The “4 C’s” remote workers need to be more intentional about to protect their career, happiness, and overall fulfillment in life (54:23) 
• How talking to 10 strangers a day can wildly boost your happiness and prevent negative emotions from consuming your psyche (1:00:34) 
• Why a fear of uncertainty is the #1 most stressful emotion you can feel (1:03:44) 
• The “PAB” secret which is the only proven way to experience contentment (1:17:44) 
• The 5 elements of wellbeing—and why balancing all 5 is often overlooked despite being the best way to achieve wellbeing (1:19:25) 
• How proactively managing your wellbeing earlier in life reduces your risk of depression, dementia, and substance abuse later in life (1:34:24)
