Building a Superior Body: Simplifying Health and Fitness

Welcome back to the True Transformation Podcast! My name is Josiah Novak, owner and founder of thetruetransformation.com. If this is your first time here, welcome! We help high achievers master their bodies and, in the process, master their mental and spiritual health with a simple, streamlined process we call the 3M System. This system, surrounded by accountability, coaching, and community, is an unstoppable force for guys who want to take their power back, build their confidence, and ultimately look, feel, and perform their best.

I've been doing this for the better part of 20 years. I became a personal trainer in 2004 and have worked with thousands of guys through low-cost programs, high-level coaching programs, in-person events, and hands-on personal training. Today, I want to share some of the important lessons I've learned from helping others and from my own journey. I was 65 pounds overweight at one point, lost it all, gained it back multiple times, and have finally stayed healthy for the better part of the past 15 years.

Building a Superior Body

What does building a superior body even mean? To me, it means not just being physically healthy but also being mentally healthy. It's hard to have one without the other. We need an easy system because a lot of us, especially those who went through trauma early on, seek out hard stuff. We don't believe that things are supposed to be easy. We think, "If I want anything good in life, I have to go through hell." While there will be hard times, it's okay to accept that fitness can be easy. With the right system, fitness can be simple. There will be hard moments, but a good system makes things easier overall.

The 3M System: Movement, Muscle, Meals

Let's start with the simple stuff: our daily system or checklist. I love checklists. They are vital, and they help people run their lives effectively. Our checklist is called the 3M System: Movement, Muscle, and Meals. These are the three things you need to dial in to transform your body.

1. Movement: Many people are sedentary, which is terrible for both physical health and mental well-being. If you're attached to a desk all day, you need to move more. Go for walks, get outside, get some sunlight and fresh air. Movement burns more calories and helps clear your mind, making you feel more in control of your day.
2. Muscle: This is where we build our physique and strengthen our joints, tendons, ligaments, and muscle tissue. Everyone wants to look good, and resistance training is the fastest way to improve your appearance. This could be bodyweight exercises, bands, TRX, dumbbells, or a full gym setup. Most of our clients train three to four days a week with workouts that fit into their busy schedules.
3. Meals: Nutrition is where most people get complicated, but it doesn't have to be. Focus on total calories and protein intake. Get these two things right, and you'll be 99% of the way there. You might need to learn how to track calories and master macros, but these lessons can be learned quickly and applied to your daily life.

Surround Yourself with Support

It's not enough to just work out, walk, and hit your calories without addressing your mental health. Surround yourself with people who want to see you succeed. Lean on them for direction, support, and accountability. Being part of a supportive community is crucial. Isolation leads to poor decision-making and mental health struggles.

The Importance of a System and Community

You need a system that simplifies fitness and makes it sustainable....

Welcome back to the True Transformation Podcast. It is your host Josiah Novak, owner and founder of thetruetransformation.com, where we help you take fitness and use it to improve every part of your life. Today, we’re talking about 20 years of underrated fat loss lessons in about 45 minutes. If you're watching on the channel, welcome back. If you're on the podcast, I appreciate you listening.

[Episode Start]

Today, I want to walk through my list of all the things—at least as much as I can fit into 45 minutes—that I've learned since I started working out about 20-25 years ago. I became a personal trainer 20 years ago, and there's been so many lessons I've learned, so many mistakes I've made. I mean, you name the mistake, I've probably made it, and I want to help you avoid those mistakes, learn what to do differently, and give you some things that are just really underrated when it comes to transforming your body.

The first thing that I want to talk about is something called identity design, and it's a really simple concept. It's not necessarily always easy to implement, but once you understand this, you'll start to paint a better picture, or at least a clearer picture, of how to literally wipe the slate clean and start to build something sustainable, something that stands the test of time. Because the truth is, everybody could get abs for a day and call themselves elite, call themselves fit, and struggle to get there, fight to get there, do unhealthy things to get there, and call themselves ripped, call themselves fit. But the real test of whether or not your fitness program is built the right way is does it stand the test of time?

And I think one of the biggest reasons why most plans end up failing, end up burning out, and most people struggle to maintain fitness is because their identity is still attached to the person who's not fit. The version of themselves who would prefer to do the things that give them short-term pleasure and long-term pain versus short-term uncomfortable situations with long-term pleasure and ROI. This identity design concept really became apparent when I started working with people online, and I was no longer in the gym just trying to burn through people every 45 minutes. You know, it was kind of a rat race. It was one person stacked on top of the other because there's only so much time in a day. And I really didn't get a great chance to connect with people on a personal level until I moved my business online and I started doing more internal work with people, more mindset coaching, more spiritual coaching, right? Talking about things outside of just fitness that fitness has a big impact on.

You know, I realized that physical health is just one piece of the equation. You know, I started fitness, and I started working out in response to an abusive childhood. You know, I was raised in an alcoholic home, an emotionally abusive home, a physically abusive home, and a home where I went through a lot of turmoil, and there was a lot of trauma, both for me and my five other siblings. I was the oldest of six, and fitness was a refuge for me. It was a sanctuary. It was like a place to get out of the craziness. But what I realized is, even as I got older, I was still loving fitness, but my identity was still trapped around the kid who was a victim, right? It was still trapped around the person who was never ripped, was never muscular, was never confident, had a lot of insecurity, and fitness wasn't going to take care of all that. At least the physical side of fitness wasn't going to take care of all that. I needed to get my identity dialed in. I needed

Ok so lets talk about sleep.

Lets cover the basics that we should all be aware of:

-You sleep best on a consistent sleep schedule. I fall asleep around 10:30-11 and get up at 6AM with no alarm (sometimes 5:30-5:45AM). Sometimes if my body needs it I get up at 6:20AM with no alarm. Get consistent with your sleep schedule.

-No caffeine 8 hours before bed if possible. I’m not perfect with this but I try to have my last coffee of the day around 2 at the latest.

-Cold and dark room. Room temp should be 68-70 degress max. Make it dark. Black out curtains and invest in dim/candle light bulbs for your bedside lamps.

-Screens should be avoided at bedtime but most people don’t, so invest in a pair of blue light blocking glasses. Game changer. Dim your screens too. Make sure they are on nightmode and brightness is down.

Ok so now for the good stuff. Full disclosure I am an affiliate for these products because I actually use them religiously. Yes they pay me $5 every time you buy a bottle of anything LOL. Just want to be straight up.

I use a company called BiOptimizers for my pre-bed sleep stack.

Why? Because this stack helps me fall asleep faster, stay asleep and wake up feeling refreshed (rarely drowsy). I get up and get after it.

I use a few products:

-Magnesium Breakthrough which has all 7 forms of magnesium you need to relax at a cellular level. Plus, you should experience more natural energy because magnesium is key to making ATP energy in your cells.

-Sleep Breakthrough to help you fall asleep fast within 1 hour of taking it… even if you’re feeling wired and usually struggle to fall asleep. It works by activating all 5 sleep pathways and primes your nervous system for the deepest sleep you can achieve.

-Mental Reboot PM which is designed to calm your nervous system and detoxify your brain while you sleep. As you may know, sleep is KEY to a healthy brain. And Mental Reboot PM puts you in the perfect state for deep, healing sleep.

-Dream Optimizer which is a new type of microdosed melatonin that can reset your circadian rhythm and help you fall asleep if you wake up in the middle of the night. As a bonus, Dream Optimizer can help you get away with getting less sleep… but still wake up feeling great.

(Yes, all 4 combined are amazing).

No pressure to buy this stuff, but I use it nightly. If you have any sleep questions please let me know

Josiah

P.S. Also, its important to walk more in the morning to get sunlight and workout HARD 3-4x per week to help you sleep better. Meditation is also key.

Josiah Novak: Welcome back to the True Transformation Podcast. It is your host, Josiah Novak, owner and founder of TheTrueTransformation.com, where we help you take fitness and use it to improve every part of your life. We also help you do things you never thought possible when it came to your health and fitness with simple, sustainable, and enjoyable systems.

If this is your first time listening, I appreciate you tuning in. If you've been listening for a while, thank you so much for continuing to come back and share some time with me.

Today's podcast is actually brought to you by none other than our good friends over at Manly. Manly is my new personal supplementation and health and wellness provider. Let me explain how it works. It's really simple. You take your blood work, which you do yourself. I know it sounds crazy, but they send you a do-it-yourself bloodwork kit. You prick your finger a few times, squeeze some drops of blood on a little card, and then send that card back to Manly. They take your bloodwork and, along with a pretty thorough survey of about 100 questions about how you feel and how you perform, they give you a custom supplementation protocol.

So, I am only taking the supplements that I am deficient in, which is what I preach all the time about supplementation. I only worry about taking a few little pills every day at certain times—they actually tell you what time of day to take them: morning, midday, and evening. It just makes it super easy and avoids the unnecessary cost of buying a ton of vitamins and minerals and having to figure out if I am deficient or not. You just take care of your bloodwork and you're off to the races. Manly is our new supplement provider for folks who want the best of the best when it comes to supplementation and don't want to take too much or too little of anything. Check out the link in the description of the podcast and give them a try for yourself. I think you will be very, very pleased.
