Three Phase Podcast

Podcast Description

Fasting has become one of the most talked-about tools in health and performance — and one of the most misunderstood.

In this episode, Joe takes a long-form, no-hype look at fasting: the good, the bad, and the unnecessary. Drawing from personal experience, current research, and decades-old wisdom, this conversation breaks down what fasting actually does in the body, when it can be helpful, and when it quietly becomes a liability.

Joe shares his own six-month fasting experiment, including daily time-restricted eating and a 72-hour water fast, and explains how his thinking evolved through exposure to researchers like Dr. Satchin Panda and Dr. Rhonda Patrick. The episode explores fasting through multiple lenses — metabolism, digestion, cognitive function, fat loss, hormonal health, sleep, performance, and recovery — while addressing common misconceptions and oversimplified claims.

You’ll learn:

• What fasting actually is (and what it isn’t)
• Why fasting can feel powerful at first — and why it sometimes backfires
• How fasting affects digestion, brain function, fat loss, and metabolic flexibility
• Why fasted training is often unnecessary for most people
• Who should not be fasting, including athletes and women trying to conceive
• Clear signs that fasting is no longer serving you
• How to use fasting as a short-term, corrective tool instead of a lifestyle identity
• Practical guidance on journaling, meal timing, and knowing when to stop

This episode isn’t about convincing you to fast. It’s about giving you a framework to decide — intelligently — whether fasting belongs in your life at all.

Because fasting isn’t the goal.

Function, recovery, and long-term health are.

Podcast Description

In this episode of the Three Phase Podcast, I sit down with Zachariah Miller, founder of Misfit Health and a fellow Chek Academy practitioner.

Zach and I took IMS2 together in person at the Rainbow House in California—an experience that goes far beyond movement education and into identity, awareness, and personal responsibility.

This conversation explores regenerative farming as a model for human health, the Six Chek Foundation Principles in real life (not theory), and what it looks like to step into new chapters when your identity begins to shift.

We talk about working with the land, rebuilding soil as a metaphor for rebuilding health, and why regeneration—physically, mentally, and environmentally—is the future.

This episode is for coaches, practitioners, and anyone who feels like they’re outgrowing an old version of themselves and choosing to live more aligned.

Work has changed. Stress has changed. Expectations have changed.

But the human body hasn’t.

In this solo episode of The Three Phase Podcast, Joe LaLeune breaks down why so many high-performing professionals feel exhausted, foggy, and stretched thin — even when they’re doing “everything right.”

This isn’t a motivation problem. It’s a capacity problem.

Using real-world coaching experience, Chek-aligned principles, and the Capacity Cup analogy, Joe explains:

• Why operating at “surface tension” makes small stressors feel overwhelming
• The difference between reducing stress and expanding capacity
• How recovery debt quietly accumulates over time
• Why motivation fails when your system has no margin
• How the Three Phase model (Accumulation, Intensification, Realization) applies far beyond the gym

This episode is for busy professionals, former athletes, coaches, and anyone who feels capable — but constantly “on.”

If you’ve ever thought, “I should have more energy than this,” this episode will give you clarity and a practical next step.

Key Takeaway

You don’t need more pressure.

You need more capacity.

Performance improves when the system underneath it can actually handle the load.
