    #112: Why Standards and Systems Matter More Than Motivation with Nineveh Madsen

    If you are still waiting to feel motivated, you are already behind. In this episode of The Supra Human Show, hosts Ben Olliver, Dr. Taylor Waters, and Ryan Stevens sit down with Nineveh Madsen, CEO of Supra, to discuss why motivation is unreliable and why real performance is built on standards, systems, and ownership. As the CEO responsible for Supra’s operations, structure, and execution, Nineveh shares how she rebuilt her own operating system to lead a growing company, manage high performance teams, and sustain results without relying on emotion or hype. If you want to stop negotiating with yourself and start operating at a higher level, this episode will challenge your beliefs and reset how you approach performance.

    #111: Why Training for an Event Like Hyrox Builds Complete Fitness

    Many people train until they look good, then they lose interest and quit. In this episode of The Supra Human Show, Ben Olliver and Ryan Stevens and Dr. Taylor Waters explain why aesthetic-only goals eventually stall motivation and why training for real events like Hyrox changes how you approach fitness. Preparing for something concrete forces better programming, builds real conditioning, and creates momentum that lasts. Instead of chasing optics or restarting plans every few months, event-based training gives structure, accountability, and a reason to keep showing up. If your workouts feel repetitive, flat, or directionless, this episode explains why performance goals bring energy back into training. Chapters (00:00) Introduction (03:22) What Hyrox Actually Is and Why It Works (04:52) Why Bodybuilding and Endurance Conflict (08:42) The Mistake Most People Make When Training for Events (15:08) Being the Beginner Again (18:59) Why Specificity Matters as Events Get Closer (21:09) How Training Changes Near Competition (25:22) Why Being Capable Matters More Than Looking Fit (31:14) Why Performance Goals Sustain Motivation (36:54) How to Choose Your Own Event for 2026 If you had to prove you are actually fit tomorrow, what event could you actually do?

    #110: The Fitness Trends We Should Leave Behind in 2026 and Why

    Modern fitness culture rewards looking like you are doing the work more than actually doing It. In this episode of The Supra Human Show, Ben Olliver, Ryan Stevens, and the team break down the fitness and social media trends they would happily leave behind in 2026. From performative workouts and overcomplicated routines to fake authenticity, unnecessary supplements, and content-first training, they explain how chasing optics has quietly replaced chasing results. This conversation is not about doing less. It is about doing what actually matters. Training hard. Keeping things simple. Building habits that work in real life instead of for the algorithm. If fitness has started to feel confusing, exhausting, or performative, this episode helps reset the standard. Chapters (00:00) Introduction (01:42) Why Fitness Has Become Performative (05:21) The Problem With Filming Everything (10:08) Fake Authenticity And Oversharing (15:02) Overcomplication Disguised As Intelligence (21:11) Copying Elites Without Context (26:47) Why Simple Training Still Wins (32:40) What We Want To See More Of In 2026 What is one fitness trend you would ban in 2026?

    #109: Why 6 Week Transformations Fail And What Actually Works

    Six week transformations do not fail because of you. They fail because the timeline itself is unrealistic. In this episode of The Supra Human Show, Ben Olliver, Ryan Stevens, and Dr. Taylor Waters discuss why “6 Weeks To Shred” programs set people up with expectations that almost no one can sustain. They explain how aggressive cuts, missing exit plans, and short timelines often lead to binge cycles and long term frustration with food. Most people are not failing because they lack discipline. They are failing because real momentum does not even begin until weeks four to eight. If you want fat loss that actually lasts, this episode reframes the game. Build habits first. Measure progress correctly. Set expectations that match reality. That is how people stop starting over. Chapters (00:00) Introduction (00:52) Why We Do Not Sell 6 Week Transformations (04:09) The After Math of 6 Weeks Transformations (08:30) Month One Is Just Getting Started (12:31) Social Media Lies (16:41) The Hard truth About Transformations (20:08) Overcoming Unreal Expectations (28:11) What To Do Instead If You Want Real Long Term Results Be honest, how many times have you started a six-week shred that left you worse off in the end?

    #108: Are GLP-1s the End of Dieting? or a Shortcut That Backfires

    GLP-1 medications are being called the end of obesity, but appetite suppression alone does not solve the real problem. In this episode of The Supra Human Show, Ben Olliver, Ryan Stevens, and Dr. Taylor Waters break down where GLP-1s can be useful, how they are commonly abused, and why many people lose weight only to regain it once the medication stops. They explain how reduced hunger can open a window for real habit change, but also how under-eating, low protein intake, and poor food choices derail long-term results. If you are considering GLP-1s or already using them, this episode gives you the framework to understand what they actually do, what they do not fix, and how real transformation is built alongside them. Chapters (00:00) Introduction (01:12) Are GLP-1s the End of Dieting (05:42) Appetite Suppression vs Real Behavior Change (09:01) Why GLP-1 Weight Loss Often Comes With Fatigue (12:10) When GLP-1s Can Actually Help (15:09) The Muscle Loss Risk No One Talks About (18:03) How GLP-1s Can Lead to Worse Food Choices (22:57) Placebo Effect Behind GLP-1 Success (26:40) Why Weight Comes Back When the Drug Stops (29:10) How to Use GLP-1s Without Destroying Long-Term Results (33:58) Final Takeaways and Responsibility Disclaimer Do you see GLP-1s as a tool to build better habits, or a shortcut that creates rebound weight gain later?

    You can train consistently, sweat through every session, and still make almost no progress if the fundamentals are wrong. In this episode of The Supra Human Show, Ben Olliver, Ryan Stevens, and Dr. Taylor Waters discuss the six most common mistakes that quietly ruin progress in the gym.

    #105: Evidence Based vs Anecdotal : What Actually Works

    Most people think fitness decisions should be driven by studies alone or by experience alone, and that assumption is hindering progress. In this episode of The Supra Human Show, Ryan Stevens, Dr. Taylor Waters, and Ben Olliver break down how research is actually conducted, why studies are often misinterpreted online, and where real-world coaching experience fills the gaps science cannot. They explain the difference between statistical significance and meaningful results, how context changes whether advice applies to you, and why the best outcomes come from blending evidence, pattern recognition, and critical thinking. If you want to make smarter training and nutrition decisions without getting trapped in absolutes, this conversation gives you a clearer framework for what actually works in real life. (00:00) introduction (03:24) Why Studies Are Flawed in Practice (04:01) “Statistically Significant” vs Real World Significant (10:05) How One Study Shaped Years of Advice (14:50) The Real Filter Coaches Use: Adherence and Practicality Beat “Optimal” (16:13) Why Evidence Is Always Behind Real World Experimentation (29:00) Coaching Is Science Plus Application (30:38) The Only Bias That Matters: Results (38:01) A Perfect Example of Uncontrolled Variables (39:21) The Practical Rule: Try It, Measure It, Keep What Works if It Is Safe (45:27) Even Labs Make Mistakes When it comes to your training or nutrition, are you more evidence based or experience based? leave your answer in the comments.

    #104: The Benefits of an Online Coach vs an In-Person Trainer

    If in-person training works, why do so many people still struggle to see lasting results? In this episode of The Supra Human Show, Ben Olliver, Ryan Stevens, and Dr. Taylor Waters break down online coaching versus in person training based on years of real-world coaching on both sides. They explain where in person training can be useful early on for confidence, technique, and structure, and why it often plateaus once those basics are in place. The conversation then shifts to what actually drives long-term transformation: daily accountability, nutrition, habits, recovery, and lifestyle systems that traditional personal training rarely covers. If you are deciding where to invest your time, money, and energy for real progress, this episode gives you a clear framework to understand how results are actually built and which model supports that reality. Chapters: (00:00) Introduction (02:08) Pros and Cons Of In Person Training (05:24) The Gym Problem Vs The Life Problem (10:01) The Downsides Of Most Personal Trainers (15:12) Results Depend On Diet (19:37) Why Online Coaching Drives Consistency And Accountability (31:16) The Biggest Risk With Online Coaching Which do you think would move your results faster right now, better workouts or better accountability outside the gym?
