#801 Mind-Blowing Fitness Strategies for Ultimate Fat Loss and Peak Performance with Jason Thebold

Today, I am blessed to have Jason Theobald here with me. Jason Theobald, J.D., AFPA, is a sought-after nutritionist/trainer in the world of physique sports. He works closely with athletes at all levels, from those wanting to shed body fat for the beach, natural physique competitors, power-lifters and IFBB pros. Jason operates www.scoobyprep.com and has countless years of experience helping bodybuilders get into peak conditioning for the stage.

In this episode, Jason discusses the importance of starting a fitness journey and offers advice for beginners. He emphasizes the value of seeking help from mentors or personal trainers and the importance of educating oneself about nutrition and exercise. We discuss the toll that extreme aesthetic pursuits can take on the body, mentioning how pushing body fat too low leads to increased cortisol levels and poor insulin sensitivity. He emphasizes the importance of recovery, noting how training and dietary habits affect sleep and gut health. Jason shares his experience of overtraining and health issues, including shingles, which prompted him to reassess his approach to fitness and prioritize self-care. He highlights the need to set boundaries and take care of one's own well-being, even while helping others achieve their fitness goals.

Later, we explore the importance of metabolic flexibility and dietary variety in achieving optimal health and fitness. Jason highlights the drawbacks of restrictive diets common in bodybuilding circles and the need to periodically switch up nutrition to prevent plateaus and inflammation. Jason advocates incorporating periods of ketosis and intermittent fasting to enhance fat-burning and improve metabolic health. He reflects on his own experience and realizes that as he ages, he needs to prioritize internal health and inflammation control, acknowledging the benefits of keto and fasting in maintaining overall well-being.
