How To Get Your Needs Met In Relationships | Dr. Corey Allen from Sexy Marriage Radio | Better Man Podcast Ep. 135

Tough conversations are one of the hardest things to navigate in relationships. Especially when everyone carries some kind of emotional baggage that’s waiting to erupt without notice.

For example, a conversation about your health and fitness could be interpreted as a threat by your partner. They’re thrown into flight-or-flight. You feel like your needs are being neglected. A fight takes place. And you’re both left wondering what happened. If this pattern keeps happening, you’ll drift apart.

So, what can you do?

The Overlooked Importance of Fitness Communities | Jesse L. (MFY Yoga Coach & Community Manager) | Better Man Podcast Ep. 134

Some people don’t need any kind of external motivation to exercise. They’re in a routine, and their day feels chaotic when they don’t do physical activity.

But the vast majority of men, especially men over the age of 40, need a little pick-me-up from an outside source every now and then. And that’s where having a fitness community can be the difference between achieving your goals and giving up. And you know what?

The external motivation provided by a fitness community is only one benefit… and it might not even be the most important benefit either.

When you want to be a better man, there are an endless number of routes you can go down: Exercise, relationships, personal development, mental health, and the list goes on.

The Permanent Way to Conquer Back & Knee Pain from Running | Matt A. | Better Man Podcast Ep. 132

A lot of people think they’re too old, too overweight, or too stressed to take their first step on their fitness journey.

But as today’s guest, Matt, so eloquently stated in the episode, if you don’t start today, you’re going to be that much older when you do start. Since we only get one shot of this game of life, why not start today?

If you’re trying to lose weight, do you have a plan for when you plateau? Or when you travel?

Today’s guest, David, knows all about the ups and downs of a weight loss journey. After his daughter was born, he ballooned up to 300 pounds. After realizing he had to be there for his daughter, he made some dieting tweaks and lost 50 pounds.

How to Improve Your “Health-Esteem” & Fitness Consistency | Carl Daikeler (Co-Founder of BODi AKA Beach Body) | Better Man Podcast Ep. 129

Everyone knows that working out consistently is one of the most important things you can do for your longevity, your health, and your mood.

But knowing this doesn’t make working out any easier. If that was the case, nobody would be overweight, have back or joint pain, or have low self-esteem.

Turns out, there are certain emotional saboteurs—in the form of limiting beliefs and insidious, subconscious mindsets—that wreck your “fitness quotient,” or FQ - before you even begin!

Let’s be honest: Exercising isn’t always exciting and fun. If it were, consistency would be an afterthought instead of an uphill struggle.

But what if you actually looked forward to your next workout?

Creating a Mindset of More Possibilities & Less Judgement | Dain Heer | Better Man Podcast Ep. 127

What is possible if you recognize that you are a gift and always have been?

Well, according to today’s repeat guest, Dr. Dain Heer, this recognition aligns you with the infinite being you forgot you are.

I know this might sound a little woo-woo, but tapping into this infinite energy can shut your inner critic up, help you reframe mistakes and leave them in the past, and eliminate all of your fears and limiting beliefs.
