Your Idea of What's Healthy Is WRONG! This Is What Real Health Looks Like | Mind Pump 1868

[@albertoeng6255]

You know, I'm not an English speaker actually I'm learning it. Best way I think of to learn is to listen to content that is compelling to you. I've been listening to you guys for over 1.5 years now and this is my first episode where I understood everything you say without any look ups. I'm proud of myself!. I just wanted to thank you guys to have created such an amazing show, you really helped me out.

[@davidmurray319]

Nice job!

[@MindPumpShow]

Winner! Please email [e-mail] with this episode number, a screenshot of your youtube profile, and the email you would like the program to go to!

[@kayjones6498]

I agree ! The content must be compelling:) Bravo to you! These guys are sitting here having a candid conversation with little to no body language and no clips to aide their conversation! Your level of understanding has got to be a B2 or C1 level🙌🙌🙌

[@maxinereed7667]

I am a fellow linguist, so I totally understand the complexity and skill development involved in learning a language. Well done you for getting to the stage where you can understand native speakers speaking at native speed. Bravo!! KZbin and Mind Pump are such incredible resources!

[@yvettebennett6170]

I just love that you guys focus on balance. Balance is key as we age. I have been focusing on balance for the past 5yrs now. Loved this episode. Thanks so much. 🙏

[@bryanh1142]

I feel like listening to Mind Pump on and off for five or six years has me more knowledgeable than 99% of people at the gym at any given time.

I have been told my focus on my fitness is not healthy mainly by unhealthy individuals who wish they had the focus and dedication I have had over the past 20+ yrs. Great show guys!

[@katherinespencer8040]

I really appreciate Adam’s vulnerability in this episode talking about how he hesitated to post the pic where he feels he isn’t as his aesthetic best. The message around what healthy actually looks and feels like is something that is needed more in the fitness space. Everyone thinks the fitness influencers are the picture of health, meanwhile body dysmorphia, disordered eating and no work/life balance is what’s happening behind the reels of shredded physiques.

[@salanan7793]

Started my “Fitness Journey” a few months ago with changing my diet and doing boxing a couple times a week. About a month ago started going to the gym and started lifting. Told my wife my goal is not Chris Hemsworth but I wouldnt mind looking more like Chris Pratt in the prison scene in the first Guardians movie. In Feb i was 348lb down to 305.

I have been listening to this Podcast and watching this channel for years. Great content. Thanks for getting into depression and depression meds for a little bit. I have been on antidepressants for years, but after incorporating your info on fitness and healthy lifestyles/habits I have been able to taper of my meds and lead a more complete and fulfilled life. I owe a large portion of it to you all. Thanks, homies.

[@njcruickshank6974]

Mind pump is such an invaluable podcast. I stumbled upon you guys by accident and it’s by far my favourite Chanel on u tube. You are all so experienced, smart and genuine guys. The respect you have for each other shines through your conversations and the range of topics you cover and the gusts you have on are fabulous. I have learned so much helpful and useful information despite already knowing a lot through my own training. Thank you guys for all you do. It is so much appreciated! Adam being humble when discussing his photo is another example of how genuine a guy he is. Keep it up guys you are helping so many people.

[@ryandeffley7652]

I admire Adam for having the balls to show himself at his worst and admit when he's been slacking. His self accountability is awesome. Most people today want constant validation for being average to mediocre and never take any accountability or criticism. I know it was hard for him to show it, but it'll teach a valuable lesson to people. 💯

[@cmm963]

I’m 21 and an ex olympic weightlifter and current powerlifter/ body builder but I can still find this show relatable. Even with the age gap I can share it with friends and family which is important to me because I want my people to be healthy and informed! From 20-60 I can find people that enjoy listening and learning from you guys so thank you for the awesome shows

[@ashleykristensen9493]

Thanks for the great info! Congratulations Sal and Jessica - baby girl on way, excited for you both.

[@angelinencube9577]

The message in this episode is so liberating! I used to get so caught up with trying to be 'super healthy' all the time and I would inevitably fall off the wagon. Now I don't feel guilty or anxious if I miss a workout and just do my walk listening to my favourite podcast, MindPump!

[@samtimmistroy]

How do you never run out of content? Always impresses me

[@theonemooo]

Thank you for posting that photo, I'm someone a just over a year into my fitness journey and it's not massively away from where I am. So much better than seeing the extremes people post and have you thinking this is a realistic way to look day to day

[@d_trick89]

As a therapist I always tell my patients that SSRI’s don’t fix the “problem,” they just buffer the symptoms, and that allows therapy to be more effective. It’s like trying to teach a drowning person to swim; you can’t. So meds are like floaters, now that they can breathe and are no longer drowning “from the symptoms;” they can now learn to swim. Studies also shows that SSRI’s are better than placebo, but not by a lot. Researchers are actually testing Ketamine for depression, which is very interesting.

[@stephenmentze1579]

I’m getting married august 21 and just went through anabolic and powerlift. Definitely in the best lifting shape of my life. Only 2.5 yrs into lifting and found mind pump last summer. Real game changer and damn near invaluable. Thanks dudes!

Morning mind pump brothers! Have a blessed day 🙏🏼💪🏼👊🏼

[@joshalfonzo8456]

I really needed to hear this! I use to be extreme with my workouts. There’s a reason you guys are the best podcast out there. The reason is you guys tell the truth and back it up with experience and science. Amazing!

[@marcelocaballero8128]

Thanks to mindpump I'm able to help my clients all the way here in Barcelona. I really appreciate all the content and information that you share

[@kryzellaa2782]

You guys are honestly the most balance podcast/KZbinr I’ve seen. Straight up incorporating life and health and balancing it out! It’s so crazy because fitness industry are always playing tug of war with the extremes but mind pump does not do that you guys remain objective in your approach. I love all your content even when you guys go off tangent and talk about life it’s also a great mind pump convo. Hahah anyways you guys are dope! The bay is the best!

[@lmsm2015]

I have come to enjoy the simple things in life. Mind Pump simply is the best podcast for knowledge put in simple terms for anyone to understand and apply. On top of that I usually laugh out loud while listening. Education with entertainment it doesn’t get any better.

Just recently became a personal trainer & I watch y’all every day. Perfect content.

Trying to get back into shape after quitting CrossFit about a year ago, my body just didn’t feel right doing it anymore and I would not be able to do it without your guys’s expertise. Thank you for all you do I just want you to know that it really does help people change they’re lives for the better.

[@lonebordas7814]

I discovered you 2 months ago after I had a carpal tunnel surgery on my right hand. Not being able to workout, I walked a lot...hitting more than 55,000 steps on average per day. I was so obsessed by gaining weight that it didn't bother me that my feet hurt like hell. After listening to you I reduced my walking sessions to about 30-33k steps daily. I still can't change my mindset and I'm afraid I'm gonna gain weight. I'm 45, 118lbs and I've been working out for 10 years 6 days per week (lifting, traditional cardio) around 1h30' to 2h on top of walking 3-4h daily. I started training again. I'd like to gain muscle but I'm limited in lifting weights because of my hand. I appreciate your advice and I try to apply everything you recommend but I still have a long way to go. I don't do traditional cardio anymore, so that's a huge change. By the way, I'm following you from Spain. I'm gonna continue listening to you and incorporate little by little more everything you teach us. Thanks!!!!

Thanks for all you guys do, I was desperately low in free and total testosterone and feel like a new person it’s helped my training and sex life tremendously and has me really taking my diet seriously! I tried everything naturally to increase it on my own but TRT was ultimately the answer.

[@SR_LNC_L]

I like the segment on SSRI medication. As someone who struggles with Major Depression, I take an SNRI. In the past I took SSRIs. I came to a point where I just couldn't do it all on my own and needed the medication as a tool to help me overcome the depression. I don't want to be on antidepressants forever, but I have noticed they have helped me. I have went into every different medication sceptical but after some time have found one that has helped.

[@stormcat2330]

Considering his profession, Adam should probably learn how to pronounce "windmill." 😂 I'm happy someone asked the last question and Adam gave some great points here. I'm right alongside Sal, having my first child (also a girl) in November. I still get a bit emotional thinking about it. A suspension trainer and a medium-heavy dumbbell can help you achieve a lot. There's so much potential with calisthenics. Also, this is a great opportunity to get kind of creative and innovative with exercises and designating time to get in those workouts. Also, like you guys say, maintenance requires far less than building/burning. :)

Been listening to MP for the last couple of months and have lost 16 lbs so far. Genuinly have changed my outlook on fitness. I bought MAPS Anabolic today using the 50% off discount (I'm cheap). Really looking forward to getting going with it!

[@unknownstrongman]

Real health to me is feeling good, (without substances) and happiness. I get that from picking up heavy stuff, and moving it. Outside.

[@katygrapengieser7334]

Listening while home with the 'vid. Made it 2.5 years and going back to all the past episodes on illness to remind myself why I need to rest to get back at it sooner. Thanks for the reminders guys. Might need the give-away to ease back into it. I was just about to enter week 3 phase 1 of powerlift, had vaca though I could just do maintenance while on vaca and drop into week 3 but now that I'm out for longer.... thinking I need to start smaller and then start powerlift over from scratch :(

[@RonyD2]

Hey guys! Much love!

[@AnaGfit23]

I feel like a general movement focus and diversified performance goals are healthy. Let me explain, I will never make the argument that doing marathons are healthy or bodybuilding shows are healthy. But what about doing one or a few of those and periodizing goals and modalities just like you would nutrition or actual training programs? Right now, I’m training for my first figure show, while I know it’s far from the healthiest thing to do, for one, these days there are coaches that promote healthier ways to do this, and after a postseason/recovery time, eventually I would like to do powerlifting, and I’d like to do an athletic-based performance focus on jumping. Again all those things separately are not inherently healthy if you hyper focus on them, but I think the positives outweigh the negatives when you are consistently trying out new activities/approaches/challenges and finding new goals, ones that encompass cardiovascular health, strength, speed, and body composition. So obviously a lot of these things aren’t healthy, but I think a diversified performance and goal portfolio could be generally healthier. @16:00 oh awkward lol

[@nightstar1219]

[@troyharrington7043]

Yeah I was a great example of being unhealthy but looking great for a while. I fluctuated over the years but now I'd say I'm a decent balance of looks and health. With the help of mind pump of course lol It's never a never ending process and that's part of the benefit! I was diagnosed with adhd as a kid but my mom thankfully refused to medicate me. I did a trial through my doctor as a teen and I did great in school, no doubt, but I was a zombie. I hated it and haven't done it since. Good episode as always guys!

[@lutherbraxton536]

So I might be coming up a little bias, because I'm currently in my own fitness pursuit but if I had to count them off.... Fav podcast 1. Mind pump 2. Jordan Peterson 3. JRE(only because he touches on so many topics I don't gravitate to each episode the same way) 4. Andrew Huberman

[@shakur144]

Adam.. Chin op man, you still look better than 95% of the people 💪 I'm 43yrs old and at 18% body fat, train 6 out of 7 for 45min every morning before work. Ok maybe I'm not shredded, but what the hel. I'm fit, muscular and enjoying life, greatings from Belgium. Great mind pump shows guys

[@carlosdmc5395]

So true what you guys mentioned regarding the marketing having that influence.... I use to think back on my early 20s that being ripped and si gle digit body fat was the health spot.... And then went to the other extreme of stopping lifting and just focusing on running and dieting..... Now I follow the example that Adam talked about regarding working out by having a balance with his family work etc... And that's definitely more doable and "normal" per se and achievable and enjoyable I believe. And it's great you guys talk about it because of the credibility and knowledge you guys display and portray to us. Thank you.

[@PorscheMaria]

When I was extreme I had ripped abs! But I had zero social life outside of the gym. I experienced constant hunger, hair loss, and moodiness. Such a dark place. Being shredding for most people is not healthy.

[@johnparker964]

fun fact cars that are manufactured on the assembly line usually have the add on upgrade features already installed. The only difference between the models is that the electrical components are already set up. Toyota Tacoma's are a example of this.

I think balance is the key and you guys do a wonderful job at always keeping it the focus! 👍🏽💗

[@tomplatz7494]

i competed several times and in addition to that I ve dieted to shredded condition several times , since 2019. i can definately confirm that shredded or even too lean, doesnt mean healthy. All my health metrics were shitty, my sleep was non existent, no libido. During those months of dieting or contest preps , i was feeling like shit. both mentally and physically. however, if you know that its sth y do to achieve a specific goal and its not sustainable, then you can reverse in a controlled manner ( although to be honest , its hard to not overeat after such an extreme diet..). the only good thing of such a diet or contest prep is the motivation and the focus y feel, you learn to control yourself and it teaches discipline and hopefully its sth y can carry with y even after the cutting/shredding period

[@amanciogonzalez4552]

What’s a good brand for organ complex ?

[@sim2013uk]

It's like you guys release shows that read my mind lol, I dropped from 400lbs to 160 over the last 5 years through hard training boxing, running, lifting, walking to extremes and moving back into balance now over the last month. Listening to my body still walking and boxing but slow and controlled lifting. Never stop guys you are all straight 🔥

[@mattTHEEgreat]

It is annoying when I tell people I don't eat things like potato chips or candy, and lift and do yoga regularly they automatically say I'm some "health nut". No I'm just a dad that wants to do stuff with his kids and not be gassed all the time. Also why is being concerned about your health a negative stigma in our society? This episode absolutely hit the nail on the head, people either see someone like Larry Wheels or Lizzo and are told that both are equally healthy depending what crowd of influencers you listen to.

[@samuelloification2749]

It's annoying but it is just other people's insecurities coming out. I've definitely been that person in the past and when I look back and think, it's just a response to not wanting to confront my own health issues. They don't mean anything by it. Keep doing you man 👌

[@mattTHEEgreat]

@@samuelloification2749 oh yeah I was the same way. I thought going to the gym meant doing CrossFit or you wanted to looked like Arnold. But it was my own insecurities and just being hyper defensive. It's just easier to point out why they are crazy than to admit I was the problem. But like they point out during the podcast the extreme sells products.

[@mikemazzamurro8667]

Wild to hear about that part of the brain shutting down after trauma. Almost as if the body felt that part was useless in providing protection or maybe even inadvertently caused the trauma so it got rid of it.

Would you say that if you maintain strength while losing body fat then this is still progressive overload? Eg if you could bench 100kg at 90kg bodyweight and maintain a 100kg bench at 80kg bodyweight.

[@AnaGfit23]

Went through NCI because I am an in person trainer that needs to be able to scale and wants a life eventually lol, and I’m thinking my niche will be “lazy” exercisers, or healthy eaters, or fitness enthusiasts. Haven’t figured out quite how to put it phrasing wise, but I’ve always thought we need to stop trying to appeal to a fanatical fitness crowd and sentiment and focus on the people that can do the bare minimum, or maybe eventually more, for the rest of their lives. Again, I need to figure out my marketing 🤔

I love the podcast you guys talk about so many things in terms of health and fitness. Of course me being into fitness and my career being in the military I learn to question everything though. I tried googling the SSRI study you guys were talking about but was unable to find the study. Is there a specific sight you utilize for a lot of your studies you talk about? or is it just general studies that people inform you of or you stumble into? I would just like to read more about it, because my wife is on SSRI's and I am on NDRi's.

[@candidocunha8720]

Hey, love your channel and the information you provide for free. I just had one question. What is your opinion on no equipment training in regards to muscle building. Is it sustainable for consistent growth? I feel like I push myself consistently and cant progress in strength nor in asthetics. Thanks in advance!

[@wilwolf3363]

My wife actually appreciates the more time I spend with the family & not so much time in the gym.

Would you say, or consider a possibility, that in Ido Portal method Could be beneficial for overall health? It’s very movement and mobility focused, but he also encourages practitioners to take up many physical movement practices, ranging from sports, Martial arts, animal flow, to things like hacky sack. Just the focus on racking up as many movement patterns as possible. Thoughts?
