    074 - The Real Reason You're Always Hungry

    Is your metabolism broken? Are GLP-1 drugs the answer, or is the real solution something far simpler and far more powerful? In today’s episode, we uncover the truth about why you're always hungry, why fat loss feels impossible, and why millions of people are unknowingly trapped in insulin resistance, the silent force driving cravings, weight gain, low energy, and metabolic decline. My guest, Joe Orton, better known online as Yerba Joe Mate, has helped millions understand the real science behind hunger, insulin, and blood sugar. After watching his wife struggle for over 25 years with anxiety, gut issues, cravings, and hormonal imbalance, Joe discovered a simple, evidence-based protocol that transformed her health without medications, intense dieting, or complicated routines. Reference: In this conversation, Joe breaks down: – Why GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy help you lose weight but cost you muscle and bone – The truth about insulin resistance and why it affects up to 9 out of 10 adults – How “food order” can reduce glucose spikes dramatically – What fasting actually does inside the body and why autophagy matters – Why ketones shift your brain and energy levels – How Big Food designs meals to keep you addicted – What a 96-hour fast does to hunger, cravings, and metabolism – The simplest daily habits to regain control of your energy and appetite This is not a diet conversation. This is a blueprint for metabolic freedom. If you’ve ever wondered why you are always hungry, why weight loss feels impossible, or why cravings dominate your day, this episode will finally give you clarity.

    How to Build Energy, Reduce Stress & Rewire Your Habits — Holistic Health 101

    Most people think “holistic health” is mystical. This episode proves it’s the opposite — it’s practical, scientific, and rooted in how your body actually works. In Episode 073, Derek sits down with Ketty and Markus, the co-founders of The Energy Lab, to break down the body-first approach that has helped countless people improve their energy, stress, mobility, and performance.

    Three cities, one mission: unity through movement. In this episode, Derek talks with Sean (Cleveland's All Muscle Service), Dae (Detroit Barcode), and Slim (Chicago’s Move At Your Own Pace) — the trio helping to lead a grassroots explosion of calisthenics across the Midwest. What began as casual park workouts has grown into regional meetups, friendly competitions, and a brotherhood built on accountability, respect, and consistency. From 90-second muscle-up battles to 5,000-push-up months, these athletes prove that fitness doesn’t need a gym or ego — just commitment. They share how they built their teams, the mindset behind their discipline, and why “iron sharpens iron” is more than a motto — it’s a lifestyle. Takeaways: ✅ Community beats competition — rivalry can unite people. ✅ Push-ups, pull-ups, and consistency build true strength. ✅ Calisthenics is accessible anywhere — no excuses. ✅ Nutrition balance matters, but mindset matters more. ✅ Midwest Calisthenics is on the rise (next meetup: Nov 15 at Burnham Park, Chicago). Guest Bios Sean (https://www.instagram.com/sean.bodberi/) — Cleveland-based athlete, founding member of All Muscle Service. Known for his 6'5" frame and precision form, Sean uses calisthenics to promote functional strength, endurance, and community wellness. Dae (https://www.instagram.com/fit_alldae/) — Detroit Barcode co-founder. Focuses on character, attitude, and personality (“CAP”) as pillars of fitness.

Today, she blends training and mindset work to help clients build strength that lasts—both mentally and physically. From conquering fear to finding self-trust, Tiffany proves that showing up—even at 60%—still counts as 100%. In this episode, you’ll hear:  ✅ How Tiffany turned trauma into purpose through fitness  ✅ Why mindset matters more than motivation  ✅ The truth about “failure” and why it’s proof you’re trying  ✅ How to silence self-doubt and show up anyway  ✅ Why confidence is built—not bought 🎧 Listen to the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HealthMovementPodcast or any podcast platform 📸 Follow Coach Tiffany on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tntraining/ and TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@tntraining1 📩 Join our newsletter: https://healthmovement.us 🥗 Need help with your nutrition? https://doriorden.herbalife.com/en-us/u
