[EP 128] When you think of fitness journeys, you are typically shown before and after shots with weight loss at the forefront of the story. However, Drew Manning, the New York Times best-selling author of Fit2Fat2Fit, flipped the narrative in a radical way. Instead of focusing on weight loss, Drew deliberately gained 75 pounds (34kg) to fully understand the struggles his clients face during their fitness transformations.
We discuss:
- How Drew’s own experience of gaining 75 pounds helped him empathise with the weight loss journey.
- The emotional and physical effects of weight gain
- How these experiences have reshaped his approach to fitness coaching
- How this experience has strengthened his relationships with clients
- The lessons and insights gained that go beyond traditional diet and exercise.
Join us to discover how Drew's unique and empathetic journey of gaining and then losing weight helps us understand the full spectrum of physical, emotional, and mental challenges involved in transformation.
