In this episode, Ben breaks down why activating these muscle groups is essential for better performance, posture, and longevity.

What if you could get the benefits of fasting — improved energy, cellular repair, sharper focus, and longevity — without skipping meals?

In this episode, I sits down with Dr. Chris Rhodes, PhD in Nutritional Biochemistry and CEO of Mimio Health, to unpack the real science behind fasting, metabolism, and weight loss — and how the emerging field of fasting mimetics might help you activate fat-burning and cellular repair even when you’re not fasting.

• Why fasting works for some people but leaves others feeling tired, foggy or lack of results

• The connection between fasting, muscle recovery, and energy levels

• How to approach fasting safely for your body type and training goals

• What new science says about “fasting mimetic” supplements and how they may support weight management and longevity

In this episode, I explain the three planes of movement — sagittal, frontal, and transverse.

I explain, why incorporating all of them into your training is essential for balance, stability, and long-term performance.

You’ll learn how your body naturally moves through each plane, how most exercises fit into them, and how to design a more complete and functional workout routine.

Most people train in one plane of motion — usually forward and backward — repeating the same movement patterns in every workout. While that builds strength, it can also create muscle imbalances, limit mobility, and increase the risk of injury over time.

In this episode, I sit down with Shalin Shah, CEO of Marius Pharmaceuticals, to uncover the truth about testosterone and hormone therapy.

As a personal trainer, I’ve always heard about testosterone being linked to strength, energy, recovery, and motivation — but I’ve never fully understood how it works or whether things like TRT (testosterone replacement therapy) are actually healthy.

Shalin breaks it all down in this conversation — from what testosterone really does in the body, to who truly needs TRT, the health risks people overlook, and how lifestyle habits like training, sleep, and nutrition play a major role in hormone balance.

Whether you’ve considered TRT or just want to better understand your body’s natural hormone health, this episode will help you separate fact from fiction.

In this episode we cover:

• What testosterone really does in the body

• The difference between natural optimization and medical therapy

• Who actually benefits from TRT (and who doesn’t)

• Common myths and misconceptions

• How exercise, sleep, and stress management impact hormone levels

• Long-term health and longevity considerations
