Most people don't understand body composition. They think staying shredded year-round is the goal. It's not. I've transformed my physique 5-6 times in the last 6-7 years. At 39, I'm not chasing vanity, I'm chasing muscle. Here's my system: Every 6 months I lose 10kg of fat. Every 6...

Up to 30% of the weight lost while dieting can come from lean muscle mass—but the right training and nutrition can help you preserve muscle, which is key for metabolic health and reducing the risk of sarcopenia. You can lose fat and gain muscle at the same time—a process called body recomposition—if you train and eat strategically. The most important factor is resistance training. Lifting heavy 2–3 times per week is essential for maintaining and building muscle while losing fat. Without it, muscle mass inevitably declines. Nutrition also plays a major role. Eating in a slight calorie deficit—around 10–20% below maintenance—allows for steady fat loss without sacrificing muscle, energy levels, or training performance. Protein intake is another key priority. Research shows that consuming 1.8 to 2.2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day is optimal for muscle retention and growth during a calorie deficit, and going even higher may provide additional benefits. Beyond training and nutrition, recovery is just as crucial. Adequate sleep, stress management, and tracking progress help ensure you’re making real, sustainable changes. Get this right and you have a powerful strategy to build muscle and lose fat. If you want to learn more about optimizing body recomposition, improving VO2 max, and enhancing brain health, tune into the latest episode of the FoundMyFitness podcast, where and I break it all down with insights from top experts.

There is 1 fundamental flaw with most health programs: They pass the complexity over to you. You are presented with high-level information or action steps that fail to dig into the details. Why? Because this is hard to do; and the coach or creator of the program didn't put in the work to sift through that complexity for you. Instead, they passed it over to you to figure it out for yourself. Like it or not, someone has to eat this pain. And I'm of the belief that this shouldn't be you. Thankfully, I've put in the work—I've suffered a high degree of pain—so you don't have to. Over the last 2.5 years I create a 12-step health system to achieve total human optimisation. A blueprint to eliminate lingering health issues, gain complete control over your mind and body, and access your full cognitive capacity. You'll find all the details here: And I'll admit: It's not a cheap program. I don't offer low quality cookie-cutter services. Like Leonardo da Vinci and the Mona Lisa, this program has been cultivated over many years. And it's damn good. Which is why tomorrow it will return to it's full price of $1,475. Meaning you have 24 hours to secure it at 53% off, $697. The program is 100% self-paced, and you maintain access to support and coaching for 6-months at a time. How does this work? From your sign-up date, a subscription renewal fee is charged every 6 months so you can maintain access to me and my team. (+all roll-outs/updates) This renewal will be exactly 1/2 of your initial investment. Meaning, if you secure the program at 53% off, your renewal will be $348.50 every 6 months (down from $737.50). This is fixed. The 53% off code is auto-applied at checkout as we speak, it will only work for the first 50 people. Go here to secure it:

The Road to Recovery: Understanding Burnout Healing Timelines TLDR: It takes about 2 years of diligent work to recover from burnout... but you can absolutely make it take longer... The burnout recovery timeline nobody tells you about... After struggling with burnout for almost a decade, I've finally mapped the real recovery journey. It's longer than most people think, but understanding these timelines saved my sanity. Mild burnout can resolve in about 6 months with proper rest. My first burnout took 4 months of doing absolutely nothing but playing video games before I started feeling better. Severe burnout? That's a 2-year journey with the right interventions. Without them, it can become permanent - I learned this the hard way when I still wasn't better after 3 years of "trying to recover." CFS or complete collapse is a 3-5 year road, sometimes with permanent changes. Each system in your body recovers at its own pace: Your gut might take 2 weeks to clear pathogens, but 6 months to heal damage and 2 years for complete microbiome restoration. Your adrenals respond to adaptogens within weeks, but need 2 years for full reconditioning as your brain physically remodels and stress hormones normalize. Your nervous system takes 2-4 weeks for initial stabilization, 3-6 months for improved vagal tone, and 1-2 years to reprogram anxiety responses. Your mitochondria (energy factories) recover fastest - noticeable improvement in 2-4 weeks, and major function returned in 2-3 months with proper support. Your immune system takes 1-3 months to begin reducing inflammation, 6-12 months to calm brain inflammation, and 18-24 months for complete balance. The #1 recovery killer? Impatience. I kept my burnout going by always pushing through, exercising harder, working more. Your body knows how to heal - you just need to create the right conditions and give it time.

It’s my 3-month trainerversary with Barton Bryan and here is my progress report. As a reminder, I spent the previous 12-months focused on weight reducation (60lbs/20 PBF reduction), Zone 2 fitness (95%+ percentile Vo2Max), improved diet-sleep-stress management, and gut biome. - Strength is way up on the major exercises we do weekly like Barbell Bench Press, Lat Pulldown, Leg press, and One Arm Dumbbell Rows. We’ve also put a major emphasis on developing core stability as I have scoliosis (19-degrees), spondylolisthesis, and an inguinal hernia. To counteract my asymmetrical mid-section, we focus on eccentric control, proper form, and not letting overcompensating creep in when pushing close to failure. - Along with the strength improvements and muscle growth, I’ve also see some nice aesthetic changes to my physique over the last three months. My chest and arms are fuller and more defined. My legs are slowly growing too although they are a bit more stubborn than the upper body. Here are some specific metrics: 15% strength increase on bench press in November, 33% strength increase overall on chest press and 1.75” added to chest/back. No added inches to waistline! 40% strength increase on leg press. - As Barton and I look ahead, I joke that when I bench 300 lbs, I’ll no longer require his coaching. I definitely feel like we are on a journey together to optimize my health, physique, and full potential (move over Bryan Johnson !!). Barton has advised me to be patient as the strength gains inevitably slow down a bit after the first three months of training and we build strong, foundational muscle mass for improved health span as Peter Attia says. I’m all in for the journey. Can’t wait to see what happens in the next 3-6 months! Enjoy one of my motivational songs when I workout.

"Women need to stop trying to be losers." When Dr Stephanie Estima said this to me a few minutes into our conversation, she didn't mean it as an insult. She meant that almost every piece of health advice women have been given for decades has been built entirely around loss. Stephanie is a women’s health expert, chiropractor and author who specialises in female physiology. At one point during our chat, I looked across at her and said, “I can see you’re a little bit pissed off”. And I could. After 20 years in clinical practice, she says the same pattern kept showing up in women of every age and background and she's had enough. She believes women have been told their worth is based on how small they are. Stephanie wants to change that by helping women understand how the female body actually works and what it needs to GAIN, not lose. Here is what we covered: - Why the modern pursuit of "skinny" comes at a devastating physiological cost. - The exact shift women need to make to build real, functional muscle. - Lifting exercises women should absolutely never stop doing as they age. - What the data actually says about training around your menstrual cycle. - Why tendons, ligaments and bone density matter infinitely more than the number on the scales. What I appreciated most about Stephanie was how intensely practical she was. She didn't just challenge the old rules - she gave me the precise blueprint for what to do instead. If you’ve been doing everything you were told to do and your body still isn’t responding, this one is for you (and every man reading this should listen to it too if they want to better understand the women in their lives). Walking away from this conversation, it made me realise that maybe the goal was never just to become smaller. Maybe the real goal is to build a body you can trust for the next 50 years. The episode with Dr Stephanie Estima is live now on all platforms ❤️👊🏾

I lost 138 lbs eating 120-150 grams of fat a day. Let me say that again for the people in the back. One hundred and fifty grams of fat. Per day. Bacon. Butter. Egg yolks. Chuck steak. Ground beef. I was flooding my body with animal fat and my body responded by healing everything. My hormones balanced. My insulin resistance reversed. My metabolism healed. My inflammation dropped. My brain fog cleared. My skin improved. My joints stopped aching. All from eating the one thing we’ve been told for 50 years would kill us. Here’s what they don’t tell you about fat. Your brain is nearly 60% fat. Every single cell in your body has a fat based membrane that controls what goes in and out. Your hormones, the ones that regulate everything from your mood to your metabolism to your menstrual cycle, are built from fat. Specifically saturated fat and cholesterol. The very things they told us to stop eating. Fat is what allows your body to absorb vitamins A, D, E, and K. Without fat, you can eat all the vegetables in the world and your body can’t even use the nutrients. Fat is what keeps you full. Fat is what keeps your blood sugar stable. Fat is what gives your body long, steady energy instead of the crash and burn cycle you get from carbs and sugar. And what did we do? We went low fat. We replaced butter with margarine. We replaced lard and tallow with seed oils. We filled everything with sugar to make up for the flavor we lost when we took the fat out. And then we wondered why everyone got sick, got fat, got diabetic, got depressed, and got put on fifteen medications. The low fat era was the biggest nutritional disaster in modern history. And we’re still living in the fallout. I ate more fat than most people would ever be comfortable with. And it gave me my life back.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​🧈👑

Hi guys, I’m Dr. Siddu Patil, and this is my story of how I fell in love with fitness 🏋️‍♂️ I was 17 years old when I joined MBBS. I loved cricket and dreamed of quitting medicine to pursue it professionally. But my parents convinced me it wasn’t the right path. That was the first time in my life I truly felt like I failed, like I couldn’t follow my heart. Out of frustration, I started doing push-ups at home—every single day—for 3–4 months. When I went back to college, I joined a gym, initially because my crush went there 😅. For the next 5 years, it was on and off. I studied hard, but also drank and smoked a lot. Fitness wasn’t consistent… yet it always lingered in the background. After my internship, I moved to Bengaluru and started going to the gym regularly. I was finally serious… until life threw me a curveball: bilateral inguinal hernia. Living alone, I felt like my life was over. Post-surgery, I couldn’t even walk properly for 15 days, and depression was heavy. But slowly, I started doing push-ups in my room again. Gradually, I went back to the gym. Three months later, I decided: no more excuses. I quit alcohol and smoking, and committed fully to fitness. Last December, I took it to the next level by hiring a personal trainer. Today, I’m almost at my peak fitness, pushing myself every day to get better. I even completed a personal trainer course, despite being a doctor. If there’s one thing I want to tell you: if you ever feel depressed, start working out. Your body and mind will thank you. If this story inspires you, like & follow. And if you want online coaching for weight loss or muscle gain, DM me.

Fitness Update: End of 3 months of Bulking. Starting a 3 month cut tomorrow, my last cut of 2026. I lost about 50 pounds from January 2025 till the end of March 2026 with a 13 month straight cut aided by Retatrutide and Tirzepatide. Counted calories and ran a deficit and lifted weights the whole time. My body needed a break and a reset from the stress of cutting for that long and constant downregulating of my metabolism. I decided to take April off and just do more calories and more lifting, and that turned into deciding to do May and June as well. So for 3 months straight I've been eating a lot more and lifting a LOT. I've gained about 5 pounds. Abs are not very visible anymore. But I've put on some muscle and strength as well and increased my base metabolic rate by several hundred calories. This is positioning me to be able to better be able to run a deficit again and continue into another cut with more energy and success possible. So this is me thicc boi mode ready to start a cut and get lean and mean. I'm sitting at ~195 right now and ~16-18% body fat. Goal of my cut is to get to the 180 or so range over the next 3 months and be in the 12-13% BF range, at which point I'll do a slow patient bulk through Oct-January and enjoy the fall and Holidays with lots of calories and strength training. Starting tomorrow I'm going to add 30-45 minutes of daily fasted zone 2 cardio first thing in the morning to burn an extra 150-300 cals. And I will drop my daily calorie allowance about 400 calories from what I've been eating the last few months. (2500-2800 down to 2200 to start, lowering later to 2100 and 2000 lowest if necessary to keep rate of loss where I want) This should get me the 1+ pound per week rate of loss I'm looking for. And I'll continue to prioritize lifting and protein as well to preserve the muscle mass I've built up and get as much of the loss to be fat as possible. I'm also going zero alcohol the whole cut as well. If I execute well, I'll be by far the fittest and leanest I've ever been at the end of September and I'm excited to see what that looks and feels like when I get there. Going from 70+ pounds overweight to building your dream physique isn't a quick process, people. Give yourself a couple of years to work on it systematically. It took you years to get out of shape, so you can take a couple years to get into great shape. But once you're there it's easier to stay there than it was to get there thankfully. The work continues. Let me know if you have any questions about anything. I'm documenting the whole process and will keep y'all up to speed. Open book. Building in public for accountability and hopefully to help others with their journey as well. 4th pic is me at my fattest in 2024. Embarrassing to post but necessary conext. I was in a sad, sad state you guys and heading towards diabetes and an early grave. If I can do this, you can do this!

Caller: I'm 38 years old, my wife's 34. Our take-home income is about $120,000 a year. And we've been working on paying off $57,000 in debt for the last 6 months or so. Caller: My wife, is 6 months pregnant, so I've just been kind of saving money since we found out. And come to find out, she racked up $50,000 in credit card debt that I wasn't aware of, and I'm terrified, and I don't know what to do. Jade Warshaw: In the last 6 months? ​Caller: No, this has actually been going on for longer than that. I think it got worse since she became pregnant buying baby stuff and, I don't know what all was going through her head, but I'm scared. Dave Ramsey: she knew, and you two were having conversations, that you're trying to pay off $57,000 in debt? ​Caller: Yes Dave Ramsey: Purposefully hiding it. That's like deception. Caller: Correct. ​Dave Ramsey: Yeah. "Terrified" is probably not the right word to describe your emotions. Jade Warshaw: Did she tell you about it, or you found out about it and confronted her? 'Cause that's a key thing here. Caller: Yeah. Confronted her. Dave Ramsey: The money is secondary. The primary thing and that's why people in my world call this "financial infidelity." Because it's a deep breach of trust. Sexual infidelity is a deep breach of trust. And, truthfully, for most people, this activates the same part in your brain or in your soul that sexual infidelity activates, because it's not sex, as much as it is a deep breach of trust. Caller: Right. ​Dave Ramsey: And so I'm telling you all that and I'm making a big deal about it, not to get her in trouble, but, I'm going to strongly suggest you guys see a marriage counselor.
