Dr. Ted Naiman

What’s the best strength training + diet combination if you want to optimize fat loss, body composition, and overall health and fitness for yourself and your clients?

Dr. Ted Naiman returns to the podcast to talk about the underrated power of proper strength training on your ability to make (almost) any diet work for your fitness goals, along with how to make achieving fitness goals easier by creating systems to help you (or your clients) do more of the right things and less of what hinders progress and results.

Ted is a board-certified Family Medicine physician and the author of The P:E Diet: Leverage your biology to achieve optimal health. His personal research and medical practice are focused on the practical implementation of diet and exercise for health optimization.

In this episode, we go into why satiety per calorie matters (and what it means in practice), choosing the best foods to help with body composition and fat loss, the most practical and effective strategies you can put in place to help you reach health and fitness goals, and so much more (including a few bits that might rile up some folks) — this is a good one, so don’t miss it!
