Fat Loss Scientist: It’s Easy To Lose Weight, But Here’s Why You WON’T Do It! | Dr Andy Galpin

The 5-4-3-2-1 method, the baker vs. cook personality split, and why fat loss is categorically simple but practically hard. The thing getting in the way is never what you think.

With Dr Andy Galpin

"It is categorically quite simple to lose fat. It's practically hard. It's a difficult human endeavor, but categorically it's incredibly simple." — Dr Andy Galpin

Dr Andy Galpin, on the episode

Dr Andy Galpin is a professor of human bioenergetics who has spent over 20 years coaching everyone from NFL first-round draft picks and Olympic gold medalists to executives and everyday people dealing with chronic pain and metabolic dysfunction. The pop framing of fat loss is that it is a mystery of the right diet or the right exercise protocol. The actual operating system Galpin runs is simpler and harder: there are only a few things you have to do, and you have a billion choices of how to get there, so the first job is figuring out which kind of person you are. This protocol pulls from the fat loss and energy sections of the conversation, including his 5-4-3-2-1 method and his baker-versus-cook personality framework for sustainable nutrition.
