  • Ep 133 | Dr. Jim Stoppani on Breaking Plateaus for Fat Loss and Muscle Growth

    In this episode, I sit down with the fitness and bodybuilding GOAT, Dr. Jim Stoppani. Jim explains the core physiological principles that consistently drive fat loss, strength, and muscle growth, even as training and diet trends shift. We dig into what the research shows about adaptation, recovery, programming, and why plateaus happen at the cellular level. Dr. Stoppani also outlines practical, science-backed adjustments that reliably restart progress. If you’ve ever wondered what’s actually happening inside your body when results slow down, this conversation gives you the clarity you’ve been missing.
