In this enlightening episode of The War Podcast, hosts Dustin Hawkins and Frank sit down with Drew Manning, the creator of Fit2Fat2Fit, a New York Times bestselling author, and reality TV star. Drew's unique journey began with a bold experiment in 2011-2012 where he intentionally gained weight to better understand his clients' struggles. As a lifelong athlete, Drew never faced personal challenges with weight, which created a disconnect in his personal training approach.
The Fit2Fat2Fit transformation not only changed Drew's physical state but also fostered a profound sense of empathy towards his clients. He realized the importance of understanding the mental and emotional hurdles faced by those struggling with weight issues, comparing their challenges to substance abuse recovery. This newfound empathy transformed his approach to personal training, emphasizing the importance of understanding and respect. Throughout the episode, Drew shares insights into various bio-hacks that aid in achieving optimal health.
Techniques such as controlled breathing, meditation, and positive affirmations play a significant role in maintaining mental clarity and energy balance. He highlights the concept of ketosis, explaining how ketones serve as a slow-burning energy source compared to glucose, promoting sustained energy levels. Drew also discusses the importance of setting realistic goals in nutrition and fitness, encouraging listeners not to succumb to the pressure of perfection but rather to focus on incremental changes.
As an entrepreneur, Drew is constantly juggling various projects, including a new keto-focused book set to release in February 2019 and a supplement line called Complete Wellness. This episode offers valuable insights into the intersection of physical and mental health, emphasizing the importance of empathy in personal training and the benefits of bio-hacks in achieving optimal health.
