In this episode, we sit down with Martin Silva for an honest conversation about fitness, health, and what actually matters long term.
We talk about the tension many people face between looking good and feeling good, and Martin shares a personal experience of achieving his “goal body” — only to realize it didn’t bring the fulfillment he expected.
From there, we dive into how to approach training and health with more intention and awareness.
This episode covers:
- Balancing aesthetics with long-term health
- Why achieving your ideal physique doesn’t automatically equal happiness - How to lift in the gym to intentionally build muscle, not just “move weight”
- Practical principles for improving body composition
- How physical activity influences mitochondrial function and cellular energy
- Why movement and recovery tools can work together as part of a holistic health approach
If you’re interested in building a strong body without sacrificing your health, energy, or longevity, this conversation will give you a more grounded framework for how to think about training, recovery, and performance.
