Dr Kiltz shares his journey into fertility medicine and integrating Eastern and Western approaches to help patients struggling with infertility. He discusses the alarming rise in infertility rates, miscarriages, and genetic abnormalities, attributing it to factors like delayed childbearing, plant-based diets high in toxins, and environmental pollutants. Kiltz also talks about how we can improve our overall health by adopting a carnivore or keto diet, challenging conventional wisdom on nutrition. He emphasises the importance of taking personal responsibility for health by avoiding processed foods and focusing on whole, nutrient-dense foods like meat, eggs, and butter. The industrialisation of food production and the prevalence of environmental chemicals are also contributing to declining sperm counts and epigenetic changes that impact fertility. A holistic approach considering diet, lifestyle, and environmental exposures is crucial for addressing reproductive health challenges. 00:00:00 - Optimising Metabolic Health and Fertility00:03:02 - From Artist to Fertility Expert: My Unexpected Journey00:07:28 - Diabetes, Nutrition, and Declining Fertility00:11:26 - The Toxic Compounds in Plants and Their Impact00:15:48 - Avoiding Harmful Chemicals in Food00:19:03 - The Decline of Fertility and Industrialisation of Food00:21:58 - Declining Fertility Rates and Environmental Factors00:27:30 - From Migraines to Mindfulness: A Journey of Nutrition and Self-Discovery00:31:22 - The Healing Power of Carnivore Diet and Fatty Meat00:37:50 - The Dangers of Plant-Based Diets and the Benefits of Meat00:41:44 - The Dangers of a High Plant-Based, Low-Fat Diet00:44:49 - The Demonisation of Fat and the Rise of Sugar in Modern Diet00:48:01 - Resilience and Vitality in Older Age00:49:15 - Fasting: The Physiological Benefits and Healing Power00:52:35 - The Benefits of Fasting and Balanced Nutrition00:54:45 - The Benefits of Fasting and Plant-Based Diets for Pregnant Women00:57:08 - We're All Uniquely Beautiful, Yet the Same01:00:25 - Discussing a Hearty Steak Meal01:02:08 - Homemade Beef Jerky: A Simple Delight01:04:04 - Embracing a Balanced Approach to Health Connect with Dr. Kiltz: https://www.instagram.com/doctorkiltz/https://www.youtube.com/@doctorkiltz Connect with Martin Silva: https://www.instagram.com/martinsilvafitness/https://www.tiktok.com/@martinsilvafitness

    Fat Loss And Muscle Gain Mastery {Body Transformation Masterclass With Martin Silva}

    In this podcast episode, Martin discusses the challenges of simultaneously building muscle and losing fat. The key insights are: - It's not possible to "turn fat into muscle" as they are different types of tissue that require distinct processes. Some individuals like beginners or those with significant fat to lose may be able to build muscle and lose fat simultaneously. For those already lean, it's highly unlikely to achieve both fat loss and muscle gain at the same time. To optimally build muscle, a calorie surplus of around 5% above maintenance is recommended. Tracking progress with a DEXA scan and aiming for a 2:1 ratio of muscle gain to fat gain when bulking is advised Building muscle should be the primary focus, aiming for 1-1. 5 pounds of muscle gain per month. Alternating between surplus and slight deficit periods can maximise muscle growth while minimising fat gain.  Tracking food intake and calories is crucial for effective muscle-building and fat loss. A patient, methodical approach centred around building muscle is advocated, with a focus on discipline, support, and tracking progress. 00:00:00 - The Balancing act of Building Muscle and Fat Loss  00:01:20 - Building Muscle and Losing Fat Simultaneously 00:02:59 - Muscle Building and Fat Loss Dynamics 00:04:55 - The Sweet Spot for Lean Bulking 00:06:43 - Realistic Muscle Gain Expectations 00:09:04 - Building Muscle Boosts Metabolism 00:10:45 - Simple Surplus Formula for Muscle Building 00:11:48 - Calculating Calorie Surplus for Muscle Building 00:13:13 - Sustainable Weight and Muscle Gain 00:15:07 - Balancing Muscle Building and Fat Loss 00:16:15 - Sustainable Approach to Weight Loss 00:18:31 - Tracking Weight Loss and Building Muscle 00:20:01 - Structured Workout Routine for Muscle Building Subscribe to the OYB email newsletter below and get your FREE Training & Nutrition Plan: https://mailchi.mp/1fe353b57501/level-up-7-day-challenge Connect with Martin Silva: (Social media handles, Website - hyperlinked) https://www.instagram.com/martinsilvafitness/ https://www.tiktok.com/@martinsilvafitness

    Grady Baker- How I Lost 5 LBS of Fat And Gained 6 LBS of Muscle At The Age of 52! {OYB Client}

    Grady Baker, a 52-year-old marketing executive, shares his fitness journey of losing fat and gaining muscle through lifestyle changes and consistent strength training. Despite being an avid cyclist, Grady struggled with gaining body fat until he prioritised his health with the help of a coach. He overcame challenges like a busy work schedule and transitioning from CrossFit to gym workouts. Grady & Martin discuss the importance of self-compassion, building sustainable habits around food and exercise, and avoiding being overly critical when slipping up. They emphasise meal planning, adequate protein intake, and using data from wearables like the Oura Ring to support healthier choices. They highlight the benefits of establishing a consistent morning workout routine and pre-planning to make it a non-negotiable habit. They also discuss the importance of self-awareness and discipline when it comes to alcohol consumption and achieving personal goals. Plus they emphasise the value of planning and structure in their weekly fitness routine, including reviewing schedules, adjusting workouts, and incorporating strength training and band workouts. They caution against over-relying on cardio and highlight the benefits of building muscle through focused, strength-based approaches. Grady shares his experience with CrossFit and how intense workouts and heavy lifting became detrimental to his body as he aged, leading to nagging injuries. He now focuses on functional fitness and mobility exercises tailored to his age and goals. 00:00:00 - Cycling in the Heat: Grady's Fitness Journey00:02:10 - Balancing Work Stress and Fitness Challenges00:04:44 - Overcoming Unhealthy Habits for Better Health00:09:56 - Developing a Morning Workout Mindset00:11:48 - Importance of Morning Workouts and Sleep Tracking00:15:19 - Showing Up: The Key to Success00:16:53 - Mastering Time Management and Workout Routines00:18:33 - Trusting the Process: Balancing Cardio and Weights00:20:06 - Breaking the Cardio Habit for Better Health00:22:06 - Strength Training for Longevity and Metabolism00:24:14 - Embracing Healthy Habits for Confidence and Well-Being00:30:22 - Setting Healthy Boundaries with Like-Minded People00:31:52 - Forming Habits and Identity Through Fitness00:33:08 - Putting Yourself First: The Key to Selfless Living Subscribe to the OYB email newsletter below and get your FREE Training & Nutrition Plan: https://mailchi.mp/1fe353b57501/level-up-7-day-challenge Connect with Grady Baker: https://www.instagram.com/glb1205/ Connect with Martin Silva: (Social media handles, Website - hyperlinked) https://www.instagram.com/martinsilvafitness/ https://www.tiktok.com/@martinsilvafitness https://www.youtube.com/c/MartinSilvaWBFFPro
