And this is something NASA figured out, by the way, for astronauts decades ago.

You may be walking around right now with at least one organ aging faster than the rest of your body and you don’t know which one it is.

And the organ that’s quietly failing you is almost never the one you’re working on.

How do you actually keep weight off once you’ve lost it? Losing weight is the easy part. Within a few years, up to 95% of people regain it. It’s not a willpower problem. That’s biology. Your body fights you the whole way.

When you lose weight, your metabolism adapts, your resting metabolic rate drops more than it should, your hunger hormones spike, and suddenly you’re battling both your biology and your appetite at the same time.

You know, there are certain people who completely change the way you think. And my guest today is one of those people for me. And if you’ve had any experience with him, I’m betting you too.
