Episode Summary

Most diet advice fails high-performing men because it ignores the only thing that matters: outcomes. In this episode, Ben breaks down how to build a simple, repeatable nutrition protocol using calories, protein, carbs, and fats as controllable levers, then personalizes it to your digestion, lifestyle, and genetics. You'll learn Ben's 5-day "whole foods" calibration method, why weekly calories matter more than daily perfection, how to set protein targets without wrecking your gut, and when fasting helps or harms men over 40. If you want fat loss, muscle, and energy without living in food confusion, this is your blueprint.

You'll learn how subconscious patterns form (often between ages 5–10), why talk therapy can miss the root programming, and how physical sensations like tightness, nausea, or dread can reveal the exact block that needs work. If you've ever known what to do but couldn't make yourself do it, this conversation will change how you see your mind. 5 Bullet Points:

• How subconscious "programs" drive self-sabotage
