Sexual Health: The Most Neglected Part of Holistic Wellness | Scott & Chris (We Got Balls Podcast) | Better Man Podcast Ep. 131

Men have a tendency to believe that their sexual health is an optional part of their overall health. But, as you’ll learn in this episode, it’s actually an essential part to holistic wellness.

Why don’t more men talk about it then?

How to Better Conquer the Ups & Downs of a Weight Loss Journey | David M. | Better Man Podcast Ep. 130

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

While these might be the last things on your mind at the beginning of your weight loss journey, they can sneak up on you. And having a plan can be the difference between keeping the weight off or putting it back on.

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!

How An Identity Shift Can Make Fitness Exciting and Fun | Kevin D. | Better Man Podcast Ep. 128

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?

That’s what happened to Kevin, today’s guest…

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.

Season 5 Finale: Wrapping Up Our Member Interview Series | Dean Pohlman | Better Man Podcast Ep. 126

This episode is the season finale of Season 5, where I focused exclusively on interviewing Man Flow Yoga Members about their fitness journey. I wanted to talk to down to earth guys who were making actual improvements in their health to help you understand what other men are doing to get healthier.

While some Members had life-saving stories, others were struggling with their health and fitness or still on their journey to their healthiest self.

But each Member Interview had at least one thing in common...

You Don’t Always Have To Be Healthy To Be Healthy | Richard G. | Better Man Podcast Ep. 125

Today’s guest, our web developer Richard, has practiced Man Flow Yoga longer than any other person. He watched a few of my first ever YouTube workouts… and 12 years later, he’s still doing Man Flow Yoga 3-5x a week.

Even though he hates working out!

Since Richard has been doing Man Flow Yoga workouts for so long—and because he used the workouts to recover quicker and almost return full functionality to his knee after getting diagnosed with a rare cancer in his knee—he’s chock-full of wisdom, especially if you don’t feel like being healthy all the time.

The Struggles of Starting A Weight Loss Journey | Will C. | Better Man Podcast Ep. 124

Today’s guest, Thomas, is pretty new to Man Flow Yoga. He’s only been doing it for a few months—and unlike most guests, his fitness journey started a couple of years before discovering Man Flow Yoga. 

One day, when his hand was full with various medications he had to take because of type 2 diabetes and adult ADHD, he realized that if his life continued on this track, he might not be here in 20 years.

And so, he started taking baby steps: First he started walking every day. Then he joined Fit Father Project and dialed in his nutrition. And now he’s doing Man Flow Yoga consistently and preparing to incorporate strength training for the first time in his life.

How John Used Man Flow Yoga to Recover from a Mini-Stroke | John S. | Better Man Podcast Ep. 122

Can yoga help you recover from a stroke? Well, it was a massive help to today’s guest, John…

About two years ago, John suffered a mini-stroke due to a hole in his heart that never completely closed. While John’s been overweight for most of his adult life, he was still active: Lifting and doing yoga. And so the mini-stroke shocked him—especially because it happened at the ripe age of 37.

But his recovery was even more shocking. At least it was to his NHS doctors. About a week after his stroke, he picked up his yoga habit again, keeping it light by following the Absolute Beginners Challenge. And when he went back for his follow-up check-up, his doctors told him that he didn’t need physical rehab because of his yoga practice.
