Episode #137 Featuring Dr. Mike Israetel! The Aesthetic Revolution: Embracing Vanity and the Future of Fitness to Unlock your Healthiest Self!

When I started my podcast a year and a half ago, I had a short list of FIVE people that I was determined to get on the show. I was down to my last one and now I have completed that milestone FINALLY getting my interview with Dr. Mike Israetel and he did not disappoint! Mike and I share the same type of witty humor as well as a lot of the science based practices when it comes to bodybuilding, health and fitness. The synergy we had on this interview is evident from the start and I can say with whole hearted certainty, this was the MOST FUN I have EVER had on any interview I have yet to conduct!

We begin this episode getting right into Mike's new book "The Aesthetic Revolution: Embracing Vanity and the Future of Fitness to Unlock your Healthiest Self." Mike discusses the motivation behind writing it and the impact he intends to make with his voice! He talks about the impact of vanity and the lifelong struggles many people go through when it comes to their appearance. Through Mike's immense humor, there is a ton of wisdom and clarity he provides for people to overcome traumas and issues they hold within. The next phase discusses the struggles people have accepting compliments after years of feeling "less than" and Mike provides ways to overcome and to accept our own inner and outer beauty! He has a way of providing comfort for people through science and humor that allows you to just be you! I took advantage of my time with Mike covering ALL the bases from weight loss drugs and their prevalence, shortcuts that do not exist, overcompensation and struggles we all have looking in the mirror. We discussed how the mind plays tricks on us and how we often cannot see changes, often times creating things that do not exist. Mike has a ton of insight on diet and the effect it has on our image and health and then I ask my to analyze me and the issues I struggle with to help others see that we ALL have struggles but if we are open and honest about them, we CAN fix them! We close with different aspects of drug use in sports and athletics and then with a long and in depth conversation on all aspects of supplements, scams and what to and not expect!

You will be enthralled in this conversation from start to finish... This may not be an episode for the easily offended but it will provide you HIGH levels of insight and an ability to overcome many struggles you have within. This interview was one I had the highest of expectations for and it went far above and beyond! There WILL BE a part 2 and hopefully more! DO NOT MISS THIS EPISODE!!
