    Ep. 192 - Scurvy Is Back... What's To Blame?

    Scurvy is back... Not on a pirate ship in the 17th century, but in 2026, how and why?? In this episode of the Winning at Weight Loss Podcast, Mitch sits down with, William Grand, CEO of Nutrifusion, a company that concentrates real fruit and vegetable nutrition into an ingredient that ends up in foods you already buy (he's under NDA, so he can't say which). He's been in the food industry since 2008, and he's blunt about what's happening: 65 to 75 percent of the average North American diet is ultra-processed, and GLP-1 drugs are quietly making the problem worse. People on GLP-1s eat less, but they eat the same junk, and nutrient deficiencies are showing up. Including a disease we thought we'd left in the 1700s... yes, scurvy, in some cases. Even if you aren't on a GLP-1, you'll learn how to become an informed shopper with this episode. We cover how to shop when you have 20 minutes and no nutrition degree, why the front of the box lies and the back tells the truth, why frozen might beat fresh (especially in a Winnipeg winter), and what anyone on Ozempic, Wegovy or Mounjaro needs to fix right now to keep their muscle, their gut moving, and their vitamin C above pirate deficient levels. Connect with William: wg@nutrifusion.com or nutrifusion.com (B2B site, but there's a store icon top right). Ready to lose fat without starving or living on shakes?

Robbie Williams is the most notable person to say he got scurvy while on a GLP treatment.

    I Did Steroids. The Dangers They DON'T Tell You.

    Peptides and PEDs are more mainstream than ever. Testosterone. Growth hormone. BPC-157. GLP-1s. Research peptides. Traditional anabolic steroids. Some work. Some have legitimate medical applications. Some are promising. But there are risks and trade-offs that don't get nearly as much attention. In this video for entertainment purposes only, I share my own experience using steroids in my early 20s, including the major crash I experienced after coming off, and break down some of the less-obvious risks of peptides and PEDs. We cover the placebo effect, psychological dependence, fertility, blood markers, cardiovascular health, questionable research-chemical quality control, and the massive difference between using these tools to supplement a healthy lifestyle versus trying to use them to replace one.

    Ep. 191 - Why Weight Loss Feels Impossible For Some People

    Why does weight loss feel almost effortless for some people, while others have to fight tooth and nail to lose the same 10 pounds? The answer isn’t simply willpower. And no, your metabolism probably isn’t “broken.” In this video, I break down why a calorie deficit is required for fat loss, but maintaining that deficit can be MUCH harder for some people than others. We’ll cover hunger and appetite, metabolic adaptation, GLP-1 medications, genetics, sleep, exercise and why your original calorie deficit can slowly disappear as you lose weight. Most importantly, I’ll show you how to make fat loss easier instead of more extreme. Because if your diet requires heroic amounts of willpower every day, you probably don’t need more discipline. You need a better diet. I’ll also explain the approach I’m currently using to lose a pound per week while dropping 2 inches from my waist in 8 weeks... and still eating an ice cream bar every night and meals out on weekends.

    Ep. 188 - You're Not Tight, You're Weak: The Stretching Truth Nobody Tells You

    Your hamstrings aren't tight because you're "getting old." They're tight because your brain won't let you go further and your strength is lacking. That's trainable. This video is all about mobility, and why most people are stretching completely backwards (not literally - just how they are going about it :P). Here's what we cover: The simple 30-second protocol that improved my own hamstring flexibility in 2 weeks flat Why static stretching before a workout is killing your performance How lifting weights through a full range of motion beats yoga for mobility (yes, really) The "extreme stretching" method for anyone who wants to push it further Plus, Cal Fit Coach Abby drops the PT truth bomb: if a muscle feels tight, the opposite muscle is probably weak No fancy equipment. No hour-long stretch routines. Just five minutes a week, done consistently, and you'll feel it. DM me MOBILITY on https://Instagram.com/mitchcalvertfitness and I'll send you the full plan free.

    Where were you last September? For most people, a familiar pattern happens where all their work from January-June comes undone and they walk into September a few pounds heavier than July started.

This year we're stopping it before it starts -- without slashing your social calendar in the process. This quick video walks through the proven strategies I've used with myself and thousands of Cal Fit clients to hold serve (or better!) or the hardest stretch of the year.
