I just spent two weeks living in Japan.
And what I saw completely reframed how I think about fat loss culture in the West.
Japan is a wealthy, modern country.
They have convenience stores.
They have fast food.
They have technology everywhere.
Yet their adult obesity rate sits around 4–5%.
Compare that to over 40% in the United States.
So what's going on?
In this episode, I break down the real-world observations I made while walking 20,000+ steps a day, eating simple meals, and watching how health is quietly built into Japanese daily life.
We talk about:
– Why their environment does the heavy lifting
– Smaller portions and automatic vegetables
– Why indulgent foods aren't everyday staples
– The difference between leanness and muscle culture
– Why they don't rely on motivation
– And what busy Western parents can steal from their structure
This isn't a "move to Japan" episode.
It's a wake-up call about how much your environment shapes your waistline.
If you've been blaming willpower…
If you're stuck in the cycle of strict → slack → strict again…
This one will shift your perspective.
Because maybe the answer isn't another diet.
Maybe it's better design.
Share this with someone who needs to hear it.

450 episodes later… and nothing has changed.
The internet is louder than ever.
New hacks. New supplements. New "this changes everything" trends every week.
And yet people are more confused, more frustrated, and more overweight than ever.
In this milestone episode, I strip it all the way back.
No biohacking.
No detoxes.
No hormone-reset nonsense.
Just the fundamentals that have always worked — and still do.
We talk about:
Why lifting weights is non-negotiable
Why your step count matters more than fancy cardio
Why sleep is a fat-loss multiplier
Why protein fixes half your hunger problems
Why weekends are sabotaging your progress
And why patience is the real secret nobody wants to hear
If you've been listening to this podcast for a while and still feel stuck, this episode might sting a little.
Good.
Because you don't need another hack.
You need tighter standards.
This is the anti-noise episode.
Press play.

<>"It runs in the family."
 
Heart disease.
Cancer.
Diabetes.
Dementia.
Most people hear that sentence and quietly think…
"I'm next."
But what if your surname isn't a life sentence?
In this episode, we're talking about becoming the chain-breaker in your family — the parent who changes the entire trajectory of their bloodline.
Yes, you can't change your genes.
But you can absolutely change how they behave.
We break down:
– Why genetics are not destiny
– What lifestyle intervention actually means (no extremes required)
– The minimum effective dose of exercise and nutrition that dramatically lowers disease risk
– Why consistency beats intensity every time
– And the uncomfortable truth about what you're really handing down to your kids
You can give your children a financial inheritance.
But if you hand them both risky genetics and a poor lifestyle model… what are they actually inheriting?
Money without health doesn't compound.
Strength does.
Confidence does.
Longevity does.
This episode is about legacy.
Not six-packs.
Not perfection.
Not becoming a fitness influencer.
Just becoming the one who says:
"It stops with me."
If this hits home, share it with someone in your family.
Because someone has to go first.
Why not you?

Think a 15-minute workout is pointless?
That belief might be the exact reason you're stuck.
In this episode, Jase breaks down why short, daily training sessions can be just as effective — and in many cases more effective — than smashing yourself 3–4 times a week for an hour.
If you're a busy dad or mum waking up at 4 or 5am, working long hours, juggling kids, and constantly telling yourself "I just don't have time to train"… this episode is for you.
You'll learn:
• Why all-or-nothing thinking is killing your consistency
• How 15-minute "exercise snacks" build more weekly volume than you realise
• Why frequency beats intensity for fat loss and muscle building
• How breaking up your steps improves posture, digestion, and energy
• A simple 2-exercise structure you can start tomorrow morning
This isn't about gym hype.
It's about building a body that fits your real life.
If you want to lose the belly, get stronger, and feel confident again — without spending hours in the gym — this episode will flip how you think about training.
Small. Daily. Repeatable.
That's how busy parents win.
If this hit home, share it with another mum or dad who keeps saying they "don't have time."

If the number on the scale can make or break your day… this episode is going to hit hard.
 
In this episode, I unpack one of the biggest mistakes people make in their weight loss journey — becoming obsessed with losing weight instead of building a life that actually lasts.
Here's the uncomfortable truth:
When your goal is centred around loss, your brain is wired to eventually find what you've lost. That's why so many people lose weight, put it back on, lose it again — and feel like they're failing, even when they're trying their hardest.
We dive into why chasing an old "pre-kids," "pre-career," or "when I was 21" weight keeps you mentally stuck in the past… and why hitting that number doesn't bring the happiness most people expect.
I also share a powerful client story about finally reaching an old goal weight — and realising 30 minutes later that it didn't deliver the fulfilment she'd been chasing for years.
This episode is a reframe.
Instead of chasing loss, we talk about building forward — creating a lifestyle that fits your life now, not the one you used to have.
You'll learn:
• Why scale-fixation fuels the lose-regain cycle
• Why shrinking your body isn't a long-term life strategy
• What actually creates confidence and fulfilment
• Why strength is the most important metric over 40
• How muscle becomes your hedge against ageing, weakness, and decline
• Why longevity without strength isn't freedom
This episode is especially important if you're over 35, juggling work, kids, stress, hormones, and wondering why the old rules don't seem to work anymore.
Because your future self doesn't need you lighter.
They need you stronger.
