Most people focus on quick fixes when it comes to losing weight, but lasting change takes more than just reducing the number on the scale. Today’s guest shares what it really takes to build sustainable habits and redefine your approach to health and fitness.

Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we’re revisiting one of our most talked-about moments with Adam Schafer. Adam shares the behaviors and motivations that drive long-term, sustainable change and how it all begins with a mindset shift around what fat loss should truly look like. He also dives into how unrealistic weight-loss goals can discourage real body composition change. Dhru and Adam discuss why it’s never too late to rethink your fitness goals and share personal experiences that highlight the power of improving overall metabolic health.

Adam Schafer, an IFBB pro bodybuilder and founding member of Mind Pump Media, joins us today as a co-host of the popular Mind Pump podcast. He managed some of the largest fitness clubs in the Bay Area and, along the way, collected eight national certifications, as well as a pro card in bodybuilding.
