The Felipe Rodas Podcast

Why do so many people struggle to stay consistent with the gym, healthy habits, or their biggest goals?

In this episode, I explore why the real problem isn’t motivation or discipline—it’s identity.

We discuss how your beliefs shape your habits, why lasting change starts from within, and practical ways to build an identity that supports the life you actually want.

If you’ve ever called yourself lazy or inconsistent, this conversation may completely change how you see yourself.

In this episode, I explore the science behind NAD (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide), a molecule essential for cellular energy production, mitochondrial function and healthy ageing.

We discuss new research showing a 76% increase in NAD levels after a 28-day intervention and explore what this could mean for energy, recovery and longevity.

In this episode:

• What NAD is and why it matters

• Why NAD levels decline with age

• The connection between NAD and mitochondrial health

• The latest research findings

• Practical strategies to support healthy ageing

In this episode, I break down the real science behind creatine — one of the most researched supplements in human physiology.

We move beyond the common “gym supplement” narrative and explore how creatine supports:

• ATP production and energy recycling
• Cognitive function and brain performance
• Long-term health and longevity

If you’re interested in evidence-based nutrition and performance, this episode gives you a clear, practical understanding of how creatine actually works.

Training with a meniscus injury can be mentally and physically challenging, especially when recovery takes months.

In this episode, I share my real-life experience training with a meniscus injury without surgery, including:

• How I adapt my leg workouts during rehab
• Exercises I avoid (and why)
• The mindset shifts needed during long-term injury recovery
• How nutrition and supplements support blood flow, performance, and recovery
• What training actually looks like when you’re prioritising healing

I’ve been dealing with a meniscus injury for over a year, and this episode offers a realistic, behind-the-scenes look at rehab, not a highlight reel.

We’ll break down:

• How cortisol, insulin sensitivity, and sleep architecture affect recovery

• Why most sleep advice fails real people

• What actually improves deep and REM sleep in active, high-stress lifestyles

Glycine is often promoted as a simple anti-ageing supplement — but does it actually live up to the hype?

In this episode, I break down what glycine really does in the body and whether the claims around anti-ageing, longevity, sleep quality, collagen production, and metabolic health are supported by science or taken out of context.

We explore glycine’s role as a conditionally essential amino acid, how it interacts with the nervous system, why it’s commonly used before sleep, and where the evidence is strong — and where it’s overstated.

Rather than selling you another “hack,” this episode focuses on critical thinking in nutrition, helping you understand when glycine may be useful, who might benefit most, and why supplements should complement — not replace — good lifestyle foundations.

In this episode, we cover:

• What glycine is and why it’s important
• Glycine and sleep: mechanisms and real benefits
• Collagen, connective tissue, and ageing claims
• Longevity research: what we know vs what’s exaggerated
• Dosage, timing, and practical considerations
• How to think critically about supplement trends

This episode is for anyone interested in evidence-based nutrition, longevity, and making smarter supplement choices.

In this episode, I explore the difference between wild-caught and farmed salmon through a nutrition and critical-thinking lens.

We discuss omega-3 fatty acids, natural salmon colour (astaxanthin), food quality, farming practices, antibiotics, and whether wild salmon is really worth the higher price. Filmed as a walking reflection in London, this episode also touches on sunlight, circadian rhythm, and making better everyday food choices without extremes.

This is not about fear-mongering or perfection; it’s about understanding food better and making informed decisions that fit real life.

Most people believe progress comes from training harder and eating better.

But real, sustainable results start in the mind — long before they show up in the body.

In this episode, I share four powerful mindset shifts that transformed my approach to training, recovery, health, and motivation. These insights are inspired by the work of Dr David R. Hawkins and my own journey as a coach and nutrition student.

If you’ve been feeling stressed, tired, stuck, or frustrated with your fitness or health goals, this conversation will help you reconnect with the internal state that drives real change.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How your inner dialogue silently shapes your habits and results

• Why forcing progress creates stress — and what to do instead

• How letting go improves recovery, sleep, and emotional resilience

• How to align your daily actions with the person you want to become

Your mindset influences your energy, your discipline, your recovery, and your long-term health. When your internal state changes, everything else follows.
