Mind Over Macros

I have listened to Mind over macros for several years now. It is the ONE podcast for health, wellness & fitness that I always come back to. Mike presents factual & logical approaches to dieting or even just wellness, ways to help create healthy sustainable habits for a lifelong change to your lifestyle that isn’t a quick fix. Even when I’m well equipped with knowledge from my years of training & dieting, Mike is always there to refresh my mind & set me on the right path again if life has knocked me off my path.

There’s a lot of opinion and privilege that comes across in the host’s language that he uses to coach. “Don’t talk to me if you can’t hit your macros two days in a row” is a direct quote from the episode I listened to. A good coach isn’t going to deny you access from advancing to the next level of your goal, they’re going to try to understand what’s getting in your way and work with you to break down barriers. On top of poor coaching, the host inputs opinion based theories throughout the show which come across as “well this worked for me it must work for everyone” and if you’re not on par you’re failing. I listened to one episode, so this is truly a review based on my short experience listening. But all in all, if you’re not a straight white man, and you are trying to lose weight or change your body in anyway, don’t listen to this podcast - it’s going to prevent you from trying.

One of my favorite fitness and nutrition podcasts ever. I appreciate his nuanced takes and understanding and compassionate views on all topics. As someone who has had a life long weight issue (maintaining a 100 lbs weight loss for over 20 years, I can tell you he is 10000% spot on. Kudos my guy. Keep up the fantastic work!

I discovered this podcast recently and am now binging each episode! I appreciate your knowledge and common sense approach. Particularly loved the episode about exercising being overrated for weight loss progress!
