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

    Dr. Sean O'Mara- Warning! These Four Types of Body Fat Can Kill You!

    Get your Free Metabolic Assessment Here: https://form.jotform.com/242088200199052 Dr. Sean O'Mara joins us again and shares his insights on the importance of understanding different types of body fat and their impact on health. Visceral fat surrounds internal organs and can contribute to chronic inflammation and disease. Reducing visceral fat can improve or eliminate associated health conditions. Myosteatosis, or fatty infiltration of muscle tissue, leads to loss of muscle function and mobility, especially in older adults. It doubles the risk of mortality compared to obesity alone. Different types of subcutaneous fat have varying effects - some are protective, while others release inflammatory molecules and impact physical performance. Excess fat around the heart can be reduced through dietary changes. Atopic, cardio, and other visceral fats are unhealthy and should be avoided. Getting scans and working with a doctor to eliminate these fat deposits is recommended. Maintaining a healthy balance of protective subcutaneous fat is crucial, as extreme fat loss through procedures like liposuction or excessive bodybuilding can deplete this beneficial fat, leading to negative health consequences. The overall message emphasises understanding the nuances of different fat types and prioritizing overall health and balance rather than extreme fat loss or unrealistic physique goals. 00:00:00 - Exploring Visceral Fat and Metabolic Health with Dr. Sean O'Mara00:03:12 - The Four Depots of Visceral Fat00:06:40 - The Four Dangerous Types of Fat in the Body00:14:58 - Identifying Hidden Fat Deposits with CT and MRI00:19:05 - The Dangers of Extreme Bodybuilding and the Benefits of Maintaining Healthy Body Composition00:25:04 - The Importance of Balanced Appearance for Influence and Success00:32:58 - The Power of Fats, Nitric Oxide, and Intense Exercise00:34:47 - Healthy Skin and Tanning at 5100:37:40 - The Importance of Sun Exposure and Natural Living00:39:26 - The Power of Natural Scents: Healthy Skin from the Inside Out00:43:41 - The Microbiome Benefits of Ocean Immersion00:45:40 - Optimising Microbiome and Fasting for Health00:49:40 - Optimise Health: Ditch Carbs, Embrace Ferments, and Get Scanned00:52:46 - Overcoming Health Challenges Through Personalised Programs 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 Dr. Sean O'Mara https://www.growingbetternotolder.com/https://www.instagram.com/drseanomara/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXSU6RrQk5er2YeFCjN4OHw Connect with Martin Silva: https://www.instagram.com/martinsilvafitness/https://www.tiktok.com/@martinsilvafitness

    Mike Millner- How I Dropped 100LBS of Fat & Have Kept it off for a decade!

    Mike Millner shares his inspiring weight loss journey, losing over 100 pounds and keeping it off for over a decade. After struggling with unhealthy habits in college, Mike found success through strength training and guidance from a mentor who encouraged him to become a personal trainer. His story highlights the importance of finding a sustainable approach and having a supportive community. Martin and Mike discuss the importance of addressing the psychology and habits behind our relationship with food, rather than just tracking macros or following fad diets. True, lasting change comes from shifting one's identity and making nutrition feel automatic, not relying on temporary approaches. They emphasise the need for an identity shift, seeing oneself as a fit, healthy person, rather than just trying to lose weight temporarily. Habits and behaviours stem from one's core identity, and permanent change comes from embracing a new sense of self. The speakers advocate for a holistic, lifestyle-focused approach to weight management and metabolism, focusing on sustainable habits that can be maintained long-term while still achieving goals. The key is to focus on the process, not just the outcome. Managing stress is also crucial for a healthy metabolism. While acute stressors like exercise can be positive, chronic stress from poor diet, sedentary lifestyle, or emotional factors can be detrimental. Finding balance through quality foods, movement, and emotional management is key. 00:00:01 - From Overweight to Healthy: My Fitness Journey 00:02:56 - From Yo-Yo Dieting to Sustainable Nutrition 00:05:18 - From PT to Nutrition Mastery: A Personal Journey 00:06:52 - Shifting Identity for Lasting Lifestyle Change 00:10:15 - The Importance of Sustainable Lifestyle Changes 00:12:55 - Optimising Metabolism: Nutrition, Activity, and Stress 00:15:26 - Managing Chronic Stress for Metabolic Health 00:18:37 - Developing a Healthy Relationship with All Foods 00:20:50 - Empowering Nutrition: Focus on Adding Before Subtracting 00:23:21 - Assess Your Starting Point for Transformation 00:25:47 - Optimising Daily Routines and Reducing Stress 00:28:23 - Sustaining Lifestyle Changes: Simplicity and Probability 00:30:36 - The Importance of Building a Solid Foundation 00:32:11 - Tracking Macros: A Useful Tool for Weight Loss 00:35:39 - The Power of Food Tracking for Weight Loss 00:37:31 - Tracking Habits Improve Mindful Eating 00:39:08 - Macros for the Average Person 00:41:49 - Personalised Neurotype Training for Behaviour Change 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 Mike Miller:  https://www.instagram.com/coach_mike_millner/ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mind-over-macros/ Connect with Martin Silva:  https://www.instagram.com/martinsilvafitness/ https://www.tiktok.com/@martinsilvafitnesshttps://www.youtube.com/c/MartinSilvaWBFFPro
