Philip Pape, Evidence-Based Nutrition Coach, Strength Training & Fat Loss Expert
Wits & Weights is a strength training and nutrition podcast where in every episode I put a popular piece of fitness advice under the microscope, find the hidden reason it doesn't work, and give you the deceptively simple fix that does. For skeptics of the fitness industry who are tired of following the rules and still not seeing results. If you've been lifting weights, tracking macros, and doing "all the right things" but your body composition hasn't changed, you're probably overcomplicating it. This is the strength training and fat loss podcast that shows you how to build muscle, lose fat, and achieve a real body recomp by focusing only on what the evidence actually supports. Evidence-based fat loss coach Philip Pape brings an engineer's approach to strength training, nutrition, and metabolism. Instead of another generic program or meal plan, you get specific, science-based strategies for optimizing body composition, whether you're focused on building muscle, losing fat, or both. The focus is on strength training over 40, hormone health, perimenopause and menopause, and longevity. You've seen the conflicting advice, even on other nutrition podcasts. One expert says cut carbs, the next says eat more. One says train six days a week, another says three is plenty. Building the body you want doesn't have to be this confusing or time-consuming. By using your wits (systems + identity-based behavior change) and lifting weights, you can build muscle definition, improve your physique, and maintain your results for life without rebound weight gain. You'll learn smart, efficient strategies for movement, metabolism, muscle, and mindset, such as: - Why fat loss matters more than weight loss for both your health and your physique - Why all the macros, including protein, fats, and yes even carbs, are critical to body composition - How just 3 hours a week of proper hypertrophy training can deliver better results than most people get in twice
