    Why Your Gut Protocol Keeps Failing (& how to fix it) - Austin Stout

    Austin Stout is the founder of Integrated Muscle & Health and the owner and formulator of Pure Factor. He has 15 years in the coaching space and a bachelor's degree in nutrition science with a focus in psychology, and he has been competing in bodybuilding since he was 18. After years of back-to-back contest preps crashed his own health, he rebuilt his coaching around functional health. Through the IMH Mentorship he now teaches other coaches to trace symptoms back to the root cause instead of chasing them. He explains:◼ Why nearly everyone he's seen on an SSRI has a gut issue◼ How gut "kill protocols" can leave your microbiome worse than before◼ Why you can't fix your hormones while your digestion is a mess◼ What your skin is really telling you about your gut◼ The tiny daily habit he uses to rebuild a damaged gut◼ Why caring less about optimization can get you better results◼ What GLP-1s are doing to your dopamine system◼ The peptides he's seen move kidney markers when almost nothing else does The views expressed are those of the guest, and this conversation is intended for general informational purposes only.

    How To Drastically Transform Your Body In 6-12 Months

    I'm back!This episode is the exact framework I ran on myself and run with my clients: what to train, how to eat, how to recover, and how to keep executing once motivation disappears. I explain:◼ Why the person with the worse diet builds more muscle than the person with the perfect one◼ How to pick the split you will actually show up for, and why the "optimal" one is usually the wrong one◼ What the double progression model is, and why most people never actually progressively overload◼ Why your micronutrient intake decides how fast your body composition changes◼ How carbohydrate timing changes your training output and why it stops you waking up at 3am◼ Why your stress bucket caps your results before you ever walk into the gym◼ What the anti-vision exercise does to your identity in twenty minutes◼ Why building a transformation on motivation guarantees you end up back where you started00:00:00 Intro00:00:40 Why 6 to 12 Months Changes Everything00:02:47 Why Training Beats a Perfect Diet00:04:12 Picking a Split You'll Actually Stick To00:06:20 Form, Execution & Training to Failure00:08:48 Tool: The Double Progression Model00:11:34 Eating For Your Goal, Deficit vs Surplus00:14:05 Tool: Setting Your Calories & Macros00:17:14 Carb Timing; The Layer Everyone Ignores00:19:03 Tracking Food, 30 Plants & Gut Health00:21:50 Sleep, Recovery & Your Stress Bucket00:23:59 Tool: Nervous System Regulation Stack00:27:28 Fasting The Mind, Single Tasking00:31:13 Why Identity Decides Everything00:32:02 Tool: The Anti-Vision Exercise00:34:51 Why Motivation Will Fail You00:36:13 Tool: Minimum Viable Action, Set Your Floors00:38:38 Tracking Progress Beyond The Scale00:42:07 Recap & Key TakeawaysWork With Me 1-1: https://bit.ly/oscoachingFree Protocols 👇30-day Superhuman Protocol: https://superhumanprotocol.carrd.coFree 30 Day Email Series: https://oscoaching.carrd.coSave on supplements I use 👇LVLUPHealth Supplements: 15% off code - OS | https://lvluphealth.com/?ref=OSCARSOMERModernAminos: 10% off code - OS | https://modernaminos.com/?ref=yaqxrhozConnect With Me ↓Instagram:   / oscar_somer  Youtube:    / @oscarsomer  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2icO9HI...Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...Substack: https://substack.com/@oscarsomerX: https://x.com/oscarsomer0
