    Doctors told him he wouldn't see his 10th birthday. By 43, he'd healed 22 "incurable" diseases and hit 1,486 testosterone naturally. Wilding Penderis spent 25,000+ hours and decades of self-experimentation to crack root cause healing. He charges thousands per consultation, but today he's giving it all away. Marcus and Andrew break down the 9 hidden causes behind 95% of modern health problems, why the health industry is failing men, and the exact changes that tripled his testosterone. What we cover: - All 22 diseases listed live, and why he calls them "symptoms, not diseases" - The 9 root causes of inflammation destroying energy, gut health, and testosterone - Why blood tests, DNA tests, and hair analysis miss the real problem - How chemicals in your water, cologne, and cookware tank your T - TRT vials are full of seed oils. Guys avoid them in food then inject them. - How gut inflammation causes depression, anxiety, and OCD through the vagus nerve - The morning routine that eliminates your need for coffee Follow Wilding Penderis: https://www.instagram.com/wildingpenderis/ Follow FitCommit: https://instagram.com/fitcommit.ai https://www.fitcommit.ai Download the app: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/fitcommit-ai-body-fat-scanner/id6748652177 Watch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@MarcusDavidC Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fitcommit-podcast/id1805519669 Drop your questions in the Q&A below.

    Why BMR Misleads Coaches and Clients and What to Use Instead

    Many gyms and apps still use BMR to calculate calories, but that method leads to poor results and slow progress. In this episode, Marcus and Andrew explain why BMR is the wrong metric and how TDEE gives a true picture of your daily energy needs. They break down the TDEE formula (BMR + NEAT + EAT + TEF), how body fat affects accuracy, and what to do if your metabolism has adapted from dieting too hard. Learn how to fix it with reverse dieting and how to use TDEE to plan fat loss or muscle gain the right way.
