What if losing weight isn't the same thing as losing fat? In this episode of Your Health Reclaimed, FMP Brad Montagne sits down with Trevor Nolan Bower, a longtime fitness and supplement industry professional and owner of Centurion Labs, for a wide-ranging conversation about weight loss, fat loss, muscle loss, nutrition, supplements, crash dieting, body composition, exercise, sleep, stress, and long-term health. One story in particular raises a difficult question about the way we measure weight-loss success: Brad shares the story of a woman who lost 35 pounds, but a body-composition measurement showed that 33 pounds of the loss was muscle and only 2 pounds was fat. That leads into a deeper discussion about losing muscle instead of fat, rapid weight loss, crash diets, sustainable weight loss, body composition, and why the number on the scale doesn't always tell the whole story. Trevor explains why he believes people often become overwhelmed by conflicting information in the fitness and supplement world, and why building a foundation around nutrition, training, sleep, stress management, healthy habits, and consistency matters more than constantly chasing the next diet or supplement. The conversation also goes inside the supplement industry. Trevor shares how he went from being skeptical of supplements to building his own company, why product quality and transparency matter to him, how supply-chain problems changed the industry, and why he believes growth should not come at the expense of trust. Brad and Trevor also discuss fat gain, hormones, calorie restriction, rapid weight loss, loose skin, muscle preservation, and the importance of taking a long-term approach to health and fitness. This is a conversation about what happens when the goal becomes simply getting the number on the scale down—and what may be missed along the way.
