75 Pounds. On Purpose. What Drew Manning Learned Broke His Entire Fitness Approach.

from The Daily Apple Podcast · host Prime Health Associates - Kevin White, MD

Most fitness advice assumes the problem is knowledge. Eat less, move more, stay consistent. Drew Manning believed that too. He was a trainer who had never been overweight, watching clients fail at things that seemed obvious to him, and quietly judging them for it.So in 2011 he stopped exercising, ate like most of America eats, and spent six months gaining 75 pounds on purpose. Then he tried to lose it. That part, he thought, would be easy.It wasn't. And what broke open during that process had almost nothing to do with food.Dr. Kevin White sits down with Drew at Four Seasons Hualalai to talk about what the body actually does when you try to change it, why the fitness industry keeps failing the people who need it most, and what Drew found on the other side of doing this whole thing a second time at 40."The results become a byproduct of living that lifestyle. Not the main focus."This one reframes the whole conversation around what transformation actually requires.Find more from Drew HEREAnd follow The Daily Apple and leave a review to help more people find the show. www.primehealthassociates.com Instagram: @KevinWhiteMD YouTube: @KevinWhiteMD Prime Health Associates
