2025/09/05

BMP-Ep140: Getting To Yes (Member Interview with Scott) Years ago, today’s guest Scott was overweight, crushed by so much pain that he had to “drink” painkillers doing construction work, and was never invited by his friends for fitness-related activities like backpacking. But then, he had a few scary blood panel tests in a row… and completely changed his life. First, he dialed in his nutrition and lost about 60 pounds. Then, he started using an Elliptical and doing Man Flow Yoga. And that

The Better Man Podcast ·

2025/08/29

All humans have a psychological glitch that’s detrimental to your health. It speeds up aging, makes the number on your scale tick up, and causes you to overlook the fundamental health truths that result in 90% of your health. The glitch? The complexity bias, which means that humans prefer the complex to the simple. When it comes to your health, this explains you’re naturally attracted to the latest biohacking technique instead of the “boring” fundamentals. Your brain is wired that way.

2025/08/22

Today’s guest, Man Flow Yoga Member Andy, is also a physical therapist who was cursed with genetic bad luck: His family has a history of high cholesterol. Despite eating right and exercising consistently, Andy’s cholesterol levels have been over 200 for the past decade. And since Andy’s only in his 30s, getting on a statin which is often a lifelong medication, wasn’t an option for him. But you know what? Andy proved that even though genetics load the gun, lifestyle pulls the trigger. For

The Better Man Podcast ·

2025/08/15

External motivation is a tricky and fickle thing that can make you consistent one week, only to feel defeated and deflated the next 3 weeks. Why? Because external motivation is a short-term band-aid that’s not only unsustainable over time, but actually makes it harder to be consistent with any goal you’re trying to achieve. There’s a better source to fuel your energy in pursuit of your goals: Yourself. Problem is, we’ve never been more disconnected from our true selves than ever before

2025/08/08

Red light therapy has been scientifically verified to help against at least 500 health conditions… and this number keeps steadily growing each time a new research study gets published. I bought my first red light therapy device in 2016, and if I’m being honest, I was left highly disappointed. Marketing claims around red light therapy position it as a panacea that can remedy all disease. But the technology wasn’t advanced or sophisticated enough to back up those panacea claims in 2016.

2025/08/01

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.

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…

2025/07/18

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. And yet, there’s one route that’s so dark and gloomy and lonely that it never even crosses the minds of most men: Your sexual story. That’s why I invited Scott and Chris from the We Got Balls Podcast back onto today’s episode. Thinking about, addressing, and then owning your sexual story is not easy. In fact, it’s one of

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? And you know what? That’s exactly what Matt did a decade ago. When he realized he couldn’t fit the airplane seatbelt over his body, he decided to make the

2025/07/03

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? Well, most of us were raised in a way that either neglected the role sexual health plays in overall wellness or completely stigmatized sexual desire as “bad.” This mistake carries significant consequences for men: They feel intense shame around sexual desire,

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

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! But perhaps

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… Kevin, like myself and many other Members, was a theater kid growing up. (You’ll have to listen to the episode to learn about which embarrassing play I acted in during my senior year…) Like many theater kids, Kevin had subconsciously boxed himself

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.

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.

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,

Today’s guest, Will, has struggled with his health his entire life. At six months old, he was diagnosed with congenital heart disease, and he’s been followed by medical baggage since. About a year or so ago, after a major pacemaker removal and surgery, Will’s doctor accidentally put in a hospital code that treated him as ultra obese, which his insurance didn’t cover. After this, Will realized that nobody was coming to save him. That’s when he put his health in his own hands. And Will’s had

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

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

When today’s guest, Christopher, turned 40, he had a total hip replacement due to an undiagnosed bilateral hip dysplasia he suffered from his whole life. And ever since, Christopher had an on again and off again relationship with his fitness. He was particularly good at joining a gym, being consistent for six months, then falling off for a year before going back. And his biggest obstacle was actually leaving his home to go to the gym. Once he left his house, he completed his workout, and
