Ep 495 - The Problem With Men - with Coach Dom
Free Transformation Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bbafree Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jasestuartBBC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jasestuart_fit _ Jase sits down with Coach Dom fresh off the men's retreat for a raw, no script conversation about what men actually carry and never say out loud. They get into it all. The 1am Google searches about low drive and low testosterone that never make it to a doctor. The provider hall pass that lets a guy be 25kg overweight as long as the business is doing well. The mate everyone leans on who's never once been asked how he's really doing. Why he'd rather be the fun dad than the fit dad, and why he waits for a health scare or a divorce before he changes anything at all. This episode is for the men who've gone quiet, and for the women who love them and want to understand why, because the goal isn't to fix men, it's to finally say the things out loud that get buried for years.

Ep 494 - From Broken To Self-Belief - With Karen Horsnell
Free Transformation Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bbafree Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jasestuartBBC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jasestuart_fit _ I took the chance last week to interview Karen for the podcast, and I LOVED hearing her story. She's what I call a TYPE A CLIENT — she asks questions, she's coachable, and she implements. She was simply done with struggling and willing to do the work. Seeing her deadlift 100kg and climb stairs on a trek made me so bloody happy. This is what success looks like!

Living on a rural part of New Zealand and being isolated from friends and family when the shit hit the fan in his life, he stacked on the weight. But at a point in time, he decided, enough is enough.

Ep 491 - Losing Weight Doesn't Mean Anything, If...
Free Transformation Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bbafree Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jasestuartBBC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jasestuart_fit _ Between 80 and 85 percent of people who lose a lot of weight put it back on, and the average dieter has already tried five different approaches before they find that out the hard way. In this episode Jase breaks down the five phases of a real rebuild, why six to twelve months is rarely enough to undo twenty years of habits, and what the most successful people he knows do differently when progress stalls. If you've lost the weight before and watched it come back, this is the episode that explains why, and what to ask yourself instead of "am I finished yet".

Free Transformation Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bbafree Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jasestuartBBC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jasestuart_fit _ You can't sit on the couch and hope to get fit, so why do we all sit around hoping our mental health sorts itself out? In this episode Jase breaks down what good and bad mental health actually look like day to day, why physical exhaustion and putting everyone else first are the two biggest culprits, the five triggers that show up in almost every case, and a two minute daily reflection that works better than any meditation app you've downloaded and used twice. You'll walk away with ten proactive things you can start this week, and permission to pick just two of them.

In this episode Jase breaks down exactly what strength training is, why HIIT, Pilates, yoga and group fitness classes are not the same thing, what happens to your muscle, bones, posture, brain and hormones after 40, and why menopause and dropping testosterone make this non negotiable. You will walk away knowing the smallest amount you can get away with, and why one session a week forever beats six sessions a week until February.

Ep 488 - The One Idea That Changed My Entire Life
Free Transformation Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bbafree Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jasestuartBBC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jasestuart_fit _ You've lost the same 20 kilos four or five times, and it has nothing to do with willpower or a lack of discipline. In this episode Jase breaks down why your mind runs like a thermostat set to "overweight," why your subconscious beats willpower every single time, and the three things that actually move the setpoint for good, using client Nick Friend's 20kg transformation and Jase's own story. This is the single idea that changed Jase's life, and it will change the way you see every result you've ever gotten.

Ep 487 - You Can't Fall Off A Plan That Includes Pizza
Free Transformation Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bbafree Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jasestuartBBC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jasestuart_fit _ One big meal was never your problem, the four days of "I've already stuffed it" eating afterwards is what's actually making you gain weight. Jase breaks down the maths of why a blowout lunch barely dents your week, names the "what the hell" effect that turns one pizza into a write-off weekend, and shares how to go from hiding for a fortnight after every bad weekend to becoming the most consistent you've ever been. Listen before your next meal out and you'll never wait for Monday again.

Ep 486 - The Monday Lie That's Keeping You Fat
Free Transformation Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bbafree Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jasestuartBBC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jasestuart_fit _ "I'll start fresh Monday" feels like motivation, but it's secretly a licence to blow up Thursday through Sunday and start every week deeper in the hole than the last. In this episode, Jase breaks down why the Monday reset is just the Failure Cycle in a calendar costume, and how clients that finally broke the loop by ditching the reset button, make the next meal the only starting line. If you've been starting Monday since last year, this is the episode that finally kills the habit.

Ep 485 - The BIG Problem: You Don't Know What You Want
Free Transformation Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bbafree Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jasestuartBBC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jasestuart_fit _ Most people don't have a motivation problem. They have a direction problem. In this episode, Jase opens up a note he wrote in December 2018 at his lowest point and walks through what getting genuinely clear on what you want actually looks like and what it produces over seven years. If you've been grinding hard but can't explain what you're grinding toward, this one is for you.

Ep 484 - When the Results Are Real But At Times Hard To See - Kaz Collins
Free Transformation Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bbafree Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jasestuartBBC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jasestuart_fit _ Kaz Collins has logged 480+ days of steps without breaking a streak, maintained daily check-ins through four overseas trips, and has been a picture of consistency. She didnt have a lot of weight to lose, and this proves once again that transformation is so much more than the scales. In this episode, Jase sits down with Kaz for an honest conversation about what 16 months inside BBA really looks like — the 10kg gone, the shoulder that won't quit, the strength milestones, and what happens when results feel invisible even when the data says otherwise. If you've ever done everything right and still wondered if it's working, this one's for you.

Ep 483 - Having The Courage To Sort Your Sh*t Out - With Ben Carty
Free Transformation Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bbafree Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jasestuartBBC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jasestuart_fit _ Ben started in BBA as a client but before that, he and I were just mates. He came into our Academy as a way to get himself mentally and physically straightened out. A very successful builder running a solid, award-winning business - he "had it all" as they say. But the stress of running that business accumulated on him - he drank way too much and eventually needed to make some changes. And that he did - quitting the drink and eventually moving his family to Bali. Ben spoke at the inaugural Men's Only Retreat in 2023 and he was phenomenal. Then again at our recent Bali Retreat, and he was even better. Now Ben has started in the coaching space himself teaching the strategies he's learned to help cope with the struggles we face in the modern world. That includes mindfulness techniques and certain meditations. Ben and I have spent a good bit of time together in Bali and so we decided to film an episode together. So many men will resonate with his words here! Having the courage to first sort your sh*t out is big... But then to not just talk the talk, but walk the walk even more so. I hope you enjoy this conversation...

Ep 482 - How Kylie Lost Nearly 15kg Without Doing Anything Extreme
Free Transformation Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bbafree Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jasestuartBBC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jasestuart_fit _ What does sustainable fat loss actually look like? In this episode of the Better Body Academy Podcast, I sit down with one of our incredible clients, Kylie Downs, to unpack how she lost almost 15kg, dropped 25cm off her waist, and completely changed her lifestyle without crash dieting or spending hours in the gym. We talk about what was holding Kylie back before she started, the mindset shifts that made the biggest difference, and why consistency always beats perfection. This isn't one of those overnight transformation stories. It's a real conversation about building habits that actually fit around work, family, stress, and everyday life. If you've ever felt like you've "tried everything" but still can't seem to make lasting progress, this episode will show you what happens when you finally stop chasing quick fixes and start trusting the process. In this episode we cover: • How Kylie lost almost 15kg while still living a normal life • The daily habits that created consistent fat loss • Why high-protein eating made staying on track easier • The biggest mindset changes behind her success • How she handled stressful periods without giving up • What she'd tell anyone who's sitting on the fence about getting started If you're looking for proof that sustainable transformation is possible, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

Ep 481 - Why You're Hungry All The Time (And How To Fix It)
Free Transformation Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bbafree Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jasestuartBBC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jasestuart_fit _ If you've ever felt like you're constantly hungry when trying to lose weight, this episode is for you. Most people think fat loss requires eating tiny portions, battling cravings, and relying on endless willpower. But what if the real problem isn't your motivation… it's your hunger? In this episode, I break down one of the biggest principles we teach inside Better Body Academy: volume eating. You'll learn why your stomach doesn't count calories, why some 500-calorie meals leave you starving while others keep you full for hours, and how combining high-volume foods, protein, and fibre can make fat loss dramatically easier. We'll also cover: * Why hunger is the real reason most diets fail * The difference between eating less food and eating fewer calories * Why protein alone isn't always enough * The BBA framework for structuring meals * Practical examples you can start using immediately * How to stop fighting your biology and start working with it If you're sick of feeling deprived every time you try to lose weight, this episode will completely change the way you think about food, fullness, and sustainable fat loss. Because the secret isn't learning how to eat less. It's learning how to eat more of the right things. 💪🏻

Ep 480 - The Matrix Is Real (And You're Living In It)
Free Transformation Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bbafree Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jasestuartBBC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jasestuart_fit _ Are you actually living your life consciously? Or are you simply repeating it? In this episode, Jase explores a powerful idea that sits at the intersection of mindset, psychology, and personal transformation: most people are running on autopilot. They wake up at the same time, think the same thoughts, follow the same routines, and then wonder why nothing changes. Drawing on concepts from personal development and behavioural psychology, Jase breaks down how your environment shapes your thoughts, your thoughts shape your actions, and your actions ultimately create your results—whether that's your body, your finances, your relationships, or your happiness. If you've ever felt stuck, unmotivated, or frustrated that another year seems to have slipped by without making the progress you promised yourself, this episode is your wake-up call. In this episode you'll learn: • Why most people unknowingly live their lives on autopilot • How your environment is silently shaping your future • The reason motivation isn't the answer you're looking for • Why winter and the middle of the year are where goals go to die • How to break the patterns that keep you stuck • The simple mindset shift that can completely change your trajectory This isn't about manifestation. It's about awareness. It's about taking ownership. And it's about recognising that if you keep repeating yesterday, you'll keep getting yesterday's results. So the question becomes: If not now… when?

Ep 479 - The Dangerous Difference Between Self-Awareness and Self-Hatred
Free Transformation Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bbafree Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jasestuartBBC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jasestuart_fit _ Have you ever looked at a photo of yourself and instantly felt disappointed? Maybe you've caught your reflection in the mirror, tried on an old pair of jeans, or seen a picture someone tagged you in and thought, "How did I get this bad?" If so, you're not alone. In this episode, Jase dives into one of the most common — and most damaging — drivers behind failed transformations: self-loathing. While shame can often be the thing that gets us started, it rarely gets us to the finish line. In fact, trying to hate yourself into a body you love is one of the fastest ways to end up stuck in the cycle of starting, stopping, and starting again. You'll learn: * The difference between self-awareness and self-loathing * Why shame can create short-term action but destroys long-term consistency * How body image struggles affect almost everyone — even coaches * The hidden link between self-criticism and self-sabotage * Why your weight and your worth are two completely different things * Practical ways to challenge the negative stories you tell yourself This isn't a fluffy "love yourself no matter what" conversation. It's a real discussion about how to tell yourself the truth, take responsibility for where you are, and still treat yourself like someone worth fighting for. Because shame might get you started. But self-respect is what gets you to the finish line. If you've ever struggled with body image, self-doubt, or that little voice in your head telling you you're not enough, this episode is for you.

Ep 478 - 11kg Down But The Smile Shows The Real Change - Luke Mudie

Ep 477 - Why Smart People Struggle To Get Results
Free Transformation Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bbafree Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jasestuartBBC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jasestuart_fit _ Most people think they need more information to lose weight. They don't. They need more implementation. In this episode, I break down what accountability actually means and why it's one of the most misunderstood concepts in health and fitness. We discuss: * Why information without application is just noise * The two things every successful client needs: results and connection * The PACE Framework (Posting, Attending, Check-ins, Engaging) * Why accountability is not punishment, criticism, or judgement * The difference between accountability and ass-kissing * Why coaches can support you, but can never want it more than you do * Why our coaching team will happily "bug the shit" out of clients who start drifting off track If you've ever resisted accountability or thought it was someone policing your behaviour, this episode will completely change the way you look at it. Because accountability isn't about control. It's about giving yourself the best possible chance of success.

Ep 475 - The Spotlight Effect: The Hidden Fear That's Ruining Your Life
Free Transformation Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bbafree Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jasestuartBBC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jasestuart_fit _ How many decisions in your life are being controlled by the fear of what other people might think? In this episode, Jase dives into a powerful psychological concept known as The Spotlight Effect — our tendency to believe that everyone is watching us, judging us, and paying far more attention to us than they actually are. Whether it's joining the gym, wearing certain clothes, posting on social media, starting a business, applying for a promotion, or finally taking control of your health, the fear of judgement keeps millions of people stuck living smaller lives than they're capable of. You'll learn: * What the Spotlight Effect is and why it affects all of us * Why people massively overestimate how much others notice them * How fear of judgement sabotages weight loss and confidence * The link between the Spotlight Effect and perfectionism * Why confidence doesn't come before action * Practical ways to stop caring so much about what others think * How to become a better example for your children by acting despite fear If you've ever delayed taking action because you were worried about looking silly, failing publicly, or being judged, this episode is for you. The truth is simple: Most people are too busy worrying about themselves to spend much time worrying about you. And that might just be the most liberating thing you'll hear all week.

Ep 474 - Everything You Want Is On The Other Side Of Hard - With Maximus Ramminger
Free Transformation Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bbafree Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jasestuartBBC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jasestuart_fit _ In this episode, I'm joined by men's transformation coach Maximus Ramiger for a raw and honest conversation about what really holds men back from changing. And spoiler alert — it's not just calories, workouts, or motivation. We dig into the stories men tell themselves, the pressure to be perfect, the fear of judgement, and why so many blokes stay stuck even when they know they need to change. Max shares his own journey through sport, injury, personal development, travel, sobriety, confidence, and learning to do the hard things he used to avoid. We also talk about why community matters so much for men, how to borrow belief when you don't have enough of your own, and why real transformation starts when you stop trying to white-knuckle your way through life alone. If you're a busy dad, husband, business owner, or just a bloke who knows he's capable of more but keeps getting in his own way, this episode will hit home.

Ep 473 - The ONE Mindset That Will Kill Your Success
Free Transformation Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bbafree Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jasestuartBBC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jasestuart_fit _ Most people don't stay stuck because they lack information. They stay stuck because they become emotionally attached to the problem. In this episode, I unpack the massive difference between being problem-orientated versus solution-orientated — and why this mindset shift changes everything in fat loss, confidence, relationships, and life. We talk about: * Why some people repeat the same struggles for years * The emotional addiction to overwhelm and stress * How victim loops quietly become identity loops * Why endless venting drains coaching environments * The difference between vulnerability and emotional looping * How to start becoming solution-focused immediately This episode is direct, honest, and probably a little uncomfortable at times… but it's a conversation a LOT of people need to hear. If you've been stuck in the same cycle for years, this one might be the interruption you need.

Ep 472 - Why You Feel So Uncoordinated At The Start (And How To Fix It)
Free Transformation Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bbafree Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jasestuartBBC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jasestuart_fit _ Why does exercise feel SO awkward when you first start? Why do beginners struggle to "feel" the right muscles working? And why does movement suddenly start feeling smoother and more natural as you lose weight and get fitter? In this episode, Jase dives deep into the idea of mind-muscle connection, body awareness, and how strength training changes far more than just your appearance. This episode covers: * Why overweight people often feel disconnected from movement * The neurological side of strength training * Why lifting weights is really about learning movement patterns * Why adding more weight isn't always the answer * How your nervous system adapts through repetition * Why awkwardness in the gym is completely normal * And how fitness helps people reconnect with their body and confidence again If you've ever felt clumsy, uncomfortable, or like you "just suck" at exercise… this episode will completely change the way you think about training.

Free Transformation Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bbafree Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jasestuartBBC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jasestuart_fit _ Most people are massively overcomplicating muscle building. They're chasing fancy workouts, "optimal" exercises, magic supplements, and TikTok trends… while completely ignoring the boring basics that ACTUALLY build muscle. In this episode, I sit down with my mate Denver — a long-time coach who's worked with both men and women for years — to break down the real mechanics of muscle building.

Ep 467 - Getting Fat Loss Wrong? Here's What Most Busy Parents Don't Realise - With Kayla Williams
Free Transformation Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bbafree Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jasestuartBBC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jasestuart_fit _ I jumped on the mic with Kayla Williams for this one, and we went straight at the stuff that's quietly sabotaging your fat loss. If you're a busy mum or dad trying to "be good" by cutting carbs, skipping meals, or jumping from one challenge to the next… this episode is going to hit. Because the truth? Most people aren't struggling because they're lazy. They're struggling because they're doing the wrong things consistently. In this chat, we break down: – Why under-eating is actually slowing your progress – The truth about carbs (and why they're not making you fat) – Why the scale is messing with your head – The real reason your energy is in the gutter – How to approach fat loss in a way that actually fits your life No extremes.

Ep 466 - Why You're Not Getting "Toned" (And What Actually Works) – with Kayla Williams
Free Transformation Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bbafree Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jasestuartBBC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jasestuart_fit _ I jumped on the mic with Kayla Williams for this one, and we went straight at some of the biggest myths keeping people stuck when it comes to getting lean. If you've been smashing cardio, trying fasted workouts, and still not seeing the "toned" look you want… this will explain why. Because here's the truth most people don't want to hear: You don't get toned from doing more cardio. You get toned by building muscle and dropping body fat — properly. In this conversation, we break down: – Why cardio alone won't change your body – The truth about fasted training (and why it's overhyped) – How much protein you actually need (it's probably more than you think) – Why building muscle is the key to a faster metabolism – How to actually create a lean, defined look without extremes No fluff. No gimmicks. No "just sweat more" advice. Just real, practical strategies that work in the real world — especially if you're busy and don't have hours to waste in the gym. If you feel like you've been doing all the right things but still look the same… this episode will show you what needs to change.

Ep 464 - Make Fat Loss Easier By Understanding Calories
Free Transformation Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bbafree Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jasestuartBBC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jasestuart_fit _ Most people think the answer to fat loss is simple: "Just exercise more." But what if that's the least impactful piece of the puzzle? In this episode, we unpack a powerful concept that completely flips the way you think about metabolism, fat loss, and where your results actually come from — inspired by a question from Kylie Downs We break down why focusing only on workouts is keeping you stuck… and what actually moves the needle. Because here's the truth: Your metabolism isn't just about the gym it's about how your body operates all day, every day.

Ep 463 - The Guilt & Shame Loop That's Keeping You Stuck
Free Transformation Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bbafree Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jasestuartBBC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jasestuart_fit _ You don't have a fat loss problem. You don't have a motivation problem. You've got a guilt and shame problem. And until you deal with that… nothing changes. In this episode, I'm breaking down one of the biggest hidden reasons people stay stuck — constantly punishing themselves for their past. The broken promises. The weight gain. The years of "starting Monday." You carry it… and it quietly shapes every decision you make. We talk about: * Why guilt and shame are keeping you in the same cycle * The difference between "I did something bad" vs "I am bad" * How self-sabotage is actually just you staying consistent with your identity * Why you don't believe you deserve the result (and how to fix it) * Practical strategies to finally let go and move forward This one is a wake-up call. Because the truth is… You can't build a better body while constantly beating yourself up. You can't move forward if you're always looking backwards. At some point, you've got to forgive yourself… and get on with it. If you're tired of feeling stuck — this is the episode you need. ⸻ If this hit home, share it with someone who needs to hear it. And if you're ready to stop starting over and actually follow through, DM me "TRANSFORM" and I'll show you exactly how we do it.

Free Transformation Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bbafree Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jasestuartBBC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jasestuart_fit _ Having just ran our 5th Client Retreat, I can tell you - I've got a massive reminder about some things.

Ep 459 - You're Not Stuck - You're Repeating the Same Story
Free Transformation Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bbafree Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jasestuartBBC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jasestuart_fit _ You keep saying you're stuck… And then wondering why nothing changes. Here's the truth most people don't want to hear: You're not stuck. You're just repeating the same story every day. In this episode, I break down why your self-talk is quietly controlling your results and how the words you use (even the throwaway ones) are programming your identity, your actions, and ultimately… your body. We're getting into: • Why "I'm stuck" is not a fact - it's a script • How negative self-talk becomes a self-fulfilling loop • The real reason affirmations actually do work (even if you think they're bullshit) • Why your environment is shaping your thoughts more than you realise • And how to break the cycle without relying on motivation If you've been spinning your wheels, falling off, or telling yourself "this is just who I am"… This one will hit. Hard. Because the version of you that you're stuck with right now? That's just the version you've been practising. Time to change the script.

Ep 458 - You're Not Lazy — You're Avoiding Something
Free Transformation Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bbafree Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jasestuartBBC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jasestuart_fit _ You're not lazy. You just keep avoiding the uncomfortable stuff that actually moves your life forward. That workout when you're tired. That better food choice when it's easier to order in. That moment where you know what to do… but don't do it. So instead, you tell yourself a story: "I'm just lazy." But that label is keeping you stuck. In this episode, we break that down properly — and get to the real reason you keep starting and stopping, even though you know exactly what to do. You'll learn: • Why "laziness" is a lie (and what's really going on) • The 5 things you're actually avoiding without realising • How this shows up in your day-to-day decisions • A simple, real-time method to stop avoiding and start acting Because the problem isn't motivation… It's avoidance. And the moment you start facing the things you've been dodging — even in small ways — is the moment everything starts to change.

Ep 457 - 10 Meals That Actually Work For Fat Loss (No Tracking Required)
Free Transformation Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bbafree Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jasestuartBBC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jasestuart_fit _ Most people don't fail fat loss because they don't know what to eat… They fail because they don't have go-to meals when life gets busy. So every day turns into: "What should I eat?" "What do I feel like?" "Stuff it… I'll just grab something quick." And that's exactly where it falls apart. In this short, no-BS episode, I'm giving you 10 simple meals that actually work in the real world — no calorie tracking, no complicated recipes, no fluff. These are the meals you can rely on when you're tired, stressed, and can't be bothered thinking… which, let's be honest, is when it matters most. You'll learn: • Why decision fatigue is killing your progress • What actually makes a meal "work" for fat loss • 10 quick, repeatable meals you can start using immediately • How to build your own "default menu" so you stop starting over Because fat loss doesn't come from knowing more… It comes from doing less thinking and more repeating. If you're sick of overcomplicating food and just want something that works — this episode is for you.

Ep 455 - The 7pm Version of You Is Ruining Your Life
Free Transformation Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bbafree Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jasestuartBBC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jasestuart_fit _ You don't have a discipline problem. You have a 7pm problem. You wake up with the best intentions… You eat well, train, stay on track… And then the evening hits. You're tired. You're stressed. The kids are chaos. And suddenly, a completely different version of you takes over. The snacking starts. The "I deserve this" voice kicks in. And just like that — the whole day unravels. In this episode, I break down why fat loss isn't being lost during the day… it's being lost at night. We dive into: Why the evening version of you isn't weak — just depleted How decision fatigue kills your willpower The real reason you keep "starting again tomorrow" Why your environment matters more than motivation And how to build simple systems that protect your progress when you're at your lowest Because here's the truth… You don't win when you're perfect. You win when your bad days… aren't blowouts. Fix your evenings — and everything changes.

Ep 454 - 4 Male Problems We Need To Talk About
Free Transformation Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bbafree Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jasestuartBBC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jasestuart_fit _ Men rarely talk about this stuff. But they should. In this episode, I'm diving into four male health conditions that are strongly linked to being overweight — and that many men suffer through silently. We're talking about: Erectile dysfunction Low testosterone Male infertility Prostate enlargement None of these are easy topics to discuss. Most men feel embarrassed even bringing them up with their doctor, let alone their partner. But ignoring them doesn't make them go away. The reality is that excess body fat doesn't just change how you look. It changes your hormones, your blood flow, your fertility, and your long-term health. And the scary part? Many of these problems start quietly. What most men don't realise is that these conditions are often connected to lifestyle — and many of them can dramatically improve when weight, sleep, stress, alcohol, and activity levels are addressed. In this episode, I break down: Why men often ignore their health problems Why male life expectancy is lower than women's What's actually happening inside the male body with obesity How fat loss and lifestyle changes can improve sexual health, hormones, and fertility This episode is for men. But it's also for women who want to better understand what their partner might be going through. Because this conversation isn't about vanity. It's about health, confidence, relationships, and longevity. If you're ready to understand what's really happening inside the male body — and how to fix it — this is an episode you don't want to miss.

Ep 453 - Stop Making It Up - Success Leaves Clues
Free Transformation Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bbafree Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jasestuartBBC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jasestuart_fit _ Most people try to reinvent their way to success. They chase hacks. They jump between programs. They look for the magic strategy that will finally make fat loss easy. But the truth is much simpler than that. Success leaves clues. If someone has the body, discipline, energy, or lifestyle you want, it didn't happen by accident. It came from behaviours repeated consistently over time. And those behaviours are usually hiding in plain sight. In this episode, I break down why the fastest way to change your life is to stop guessing and start studying the people who already have the results you want. We talk about: • Why most people waste years trying to "figure it out" themselves • How successful people actually operate day-to-day • The difference between chasing outcomes vs becoming addicted to the actions • Why proximity to high performers changes your standards • How to reverse engineer the habits of people you admire • Why copying behaviours (not waiting for motivation) is the real shortcut This episode is a reminder that you don't need to invent a new path. You just need to pay attention to the clues and follow them long enough. Because when you stack the right behaviours consistently, the results eventually become inevitable. If you've been feeling stuck in your fitness, your discipline, or your routine… this one will light a fire under you. Success leaves clues. Your job is simply to notice them — and act.

Ep 452 - Bored Into Unfatness
Free Transformation Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bbafree Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jasestuartBBC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jasestuart_fit _ Everyone wants the shortcut. The fat loss hack. The supplement. The 6-week shred. The magic plan that finally makes it "easy." But here's the truth nobody wants to hear: The boring work… is the work. In this episode, I'm calling out the real reason you keep procrastinating your transformation. It's not lack of knowledge. It's not lack of time. And it's definitely not because you need a more complicated plan. It's because the basics feel too simple… and doing them consistently feels uncomfortable. We're talking about: • Why we overcomplicate fat loss • The real psychology behind avoiding the gym or alcohol changes • Why people cheer you on at the start (but don't always expect you to win) • The comfort of staying the same — even when it's slowly hurting you • How "boring" habits become identity • And why self-trust is the real prize If you're a busy mum or dad who knows exactly what to do… but keeps dancing around it — this episode is your wake-up call. No hacks. No fluff. No extremes. Just the truth: The life you want is hidden inside the work you're avoiding.

Ep 451 - Fatness? That's Not Even A Thing Here!
Free Transformation Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bbafree Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jasestuartBBC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jasestuart_fit _ I just spent two weeks living in Japan. And what I saw completely reframed how I think about fat loss culture in the West. Japan is a wealthy, modern country. They have convenience stores. They have fast food. They have technology everywhere. Yet their adult obesity rate sits around 4–5%. Compare that to over 40% in the United States. So what's going on? In this episode, I break down the real-world observations I made while walking 20,000+ steps a day, eating simple meals, and watching how health is quietly built into Japanese daily life. We talk about: – Why their environment does the heavy lifting – Smaller portions and automatic vegetables – Why indulgent foods aren't everyday staples – The difference between leanness and muscle culture – Why they don't rely on motivation – And what busy Western parents can steal from their structure This isn't a "move to Japan" episode. It's a wake-up call about how much your environment shapes your waistline. If you've been blaming willpower… If you're stuck in the cycle of strict → slack → strict again… This one will shift your perspective. Because maybe the answer isn't another diet. Maybe it's better design. Share this with someone who needs to hear it.

Ep 450 - What Actually Works for Fat Loss (And What's Bullsh*t)
Free Transformation Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bbafree Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jasestuartBBC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jasestuart_fit _ 450 episodes later… and nothing has changed. The internet is louder than ever. New hacks. New supplements. New "this changes everything" trends every week. And yet people are more confused, more frustrated, and more overweight than ever. In this milestone episode, I strip it all the way back. No biohacking. No detoxes. No hormone-reset nonsense. Just the fundamentals that have always worked — and still do. We talk about: Why lifting weights is non-negotiable Why your step count matters more than fancy cardio Why sleep is a fat-loss multiplier Why protein fixes half your hunger problems Why weekends are sabotaging your progress And why patience is the real secret nobody wants to hear If you've been listening to this podcast for a while and still feel stuck, this episode might sting a little. Good. Because you don't need another hack. You need tighter standards. This is the anti-noise episode. Press play.

Ep 449 - What Inheritance Will YOU Give?
Free Transformation Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bbafree Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jasestuartBBC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jasestuart_fit _ "It runs in the family." Heart disease. Cancer. Diabetes. Dementia. Most people hear that sentence and quietly think… "I'm next." But what if your surname isn't a life sentence? In this episode, we're talking about becoming the chain-breaker in your family — the parent who changes the entire trajectory of their bloodline. Yes, you can't change your genes. But you can absolutely change how they behave. We break down: – Why genetics are not destiny – What lifestyle intervention actually means (no extremes required) – The minimum effective dose of exercise and nutrition that dramatically lowers disease risk – Why consistency beats intensity every time – And the uncomfortable truth about what you're really handing down to your kids You can give your children a financial inheritance. But if you hand them both risky genetics and a poor lifestyle model… what are they actually inheriting? Money without health doesn't compound. Strength does. Confidence does. Longevity does. This episode is about legacy. Not six-packs. Not perfection. Not becoming a fitness influencer. Just becoming the one who says: "It stops with me." If this hits home, share it with someone in your family. Because someone has to go first. Why not you?

Ep 448 - 15 Minute Workouts Might Be Better
Free Transformation Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bbafree Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jasestuartBBC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jasestuart_fit _ Think a 15-minute workout is pointless? That belief might be the exact reason you're stuck. In this episode, Jase breaks down why short, daily training sessions can be just as effective — and in many cases more effective — than smashing yourself 3–4 times a week for an hour. If you're a busy dad or mum waking up at 4 or 5am, working long hours, juggling kids, and constantly telling yourself "I just don't have time to train"… this episode is for you. You'll learn: • Why all-or-nothing thinking is killing your consistency • How 15-minute "exercise snacks" build more weekly volume than you realise • Why frequency beats intensity for fat loss and muscle building • How breaking up your steps improves posture, digestion, and energy • A simple 2-exercise structure you can start tomorrow morning This isn't about gym hype. It's about building a body that fits your real life. If you want to lose the belly, get stronger, and feel confident again — without spending hours in the gym — this episode will flip how you think about training. Small. Daily. Repeatable. That's how busy parents win. If this hit home, share it with another mum or dad who keeps saying they "don't have time."

Ep 447 - Fixated on the Scales?
Free Transformation Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bbafree Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jasestuartBBC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jasestuart_fit If the number on the scale can make or break your day… this episode is going to hit hard. In this episode, I unpack one of the biggest mistakes people make in their weight loss journey — becoming obsessed with losing weight instead of building a life that actually lasts. Here's the uncomfortable truth: When your goal is centred around loss, your brain is wired to eventually find what you've lost. That's why so many people lose weight, put it back on, lose it again — and feel like they're failing, even when they're trying their hardest. We dive into why chasing an old "pre-kids," "pre-career," or "when I was 21" weight keeps you mentally stuck in the past… and why hitting that number doesn't bring the happiness most people expect. I also share a powerful client story about finally reaching an old goal weight — and realising 30 minutes later that it didn't deliver the fulfilment she'd been chasing for years. This episode is a reframe. Instead of chasing loss, we talk about building forward — creating a lifestyle that fits your life now, not the one you used to have. You'll learn: • Why scale-fixation fuels the lose-regain cycle • Why shrinking your body isn't a long-term life strategy • What actually creates confidence and fulfilment • Why strength is the most important metric over 40 • How muscle becomes your hedge against ageing, weakness, and decline • Why longevity without strength isn't freedom This episode is especially important if you're over 35, juggling work, kids, stress, hormones, and wondering why the old rules don't seem to work anymore. Because your future self doesn't need you lighter. They need you stronger.

Free Transformation Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bbafree Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jasestuartBBC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jasestuart_fit _ Strength training is the most slept on way to change your life. That said, so many people join gyms and just don't train properly. Whether it's just going through the motions, using terribly form or having basically no idea, and wondering why they are not getting results, I am sure it's the reason why many give up. In this episode, I chat to Zac Matt - a Northern Beaches based fitness coach about strength training and how to stop doing it wrong.
