    2778: Why Your Body Is Resisting Fat Loss (And What To Do)

    23/1/2026 | 1h 15 mins.
    Mind Pump Fit Tip: When Pushing Fat Loss is the Wrong Move for Your Body. (2:11)

    The benefits of NAD and the difference in liposomal technology. (22:00)

    Stubbornness as a superpower. (26:08)

    Building leg stamina, and why what you're avoiding is probably best for you. (29:45)

    Is this generation too isolated? (34:19)

    Making the case for regulation. (46:33)

    Buyer beware: Red-light therapy devices. (50:35)

    Autism Barbie. (56:26)

    Feeling good about the current state of writing on television. (57:16)

    Rage bait and algorithm hacks. (59:25)

    #Quah question #1 – My quads are always sore after squats, lunges, etc. and then stay sore for days later. I warm up and stretch after. I try to progress but not go too heavy when my muscles ache. What else can I do to alleviate that pain? (1:04:19)

    #Quah question #2 – Any tips for perpetually tight hips? I have a desk job, but I do lots of walking and foam rolling several times a week. (1:05:48)

    #Quah question #3 – What's the best way to preserve as much strength as possible while pregnant? (1:09:01)

    #Quah question #4 – I'd love to hear about smart ways to program heavy circuits. Not talking about Orangetheory style circuits, but taking 3-4 lifts, using different muscle groups, and resting maybe 30 seconds between lifts, which would give several minutes before repeating any one lift. Can this be done in a way to gain strength and build muscle? (1:11:06)
