Exercising regularly, eating healthy, and still gaining weight? You’re not alone and it doesn’t always mean you’re doing things wrong. This video breaks down the most common reasons weight loss becomes harder for men after 30, even when workouts and nutrition are on point.As men age, natural hormonal changes like declining testosterone, reduced insulin sensitivity, and chronically elevated cortisol from stress can all contribute to stubborn fat gain, especially around the midsection. On top of that, training too hard, doing excessive cardio, poor recovery, lack of sleep, and increased appetite can actually slow fat loss and push the scale higher.You’ll also learn why temporary weight gain from water retention and muscle growth is normal, how gut health and low fiber intake can impact body fat, and why working harder isn’t always the solution. Instead, smarter training, proper recovery, strength training, stress management, and sustainable nutrition strategies are key for long-term fat loss.Coach Julio is an expert in fitness and nutrition, having helped hundreds of busy office professionals and parents in their 30s, 40s, and 50s be their healthiest with personalized training plans and nutritionist counseling services.

In this video, I break down the benefits of strength training for women over 40 and why lifting weights is one of the most important things you can do for your long-term health.After 40, muscle mass, strength, balance, and bone density naturally decline, increasing the risk of falls, injuries, joint pain, and chronic disease.

Weight lifting helps slow muscle loss (sarcopenia), improves joint mobility, strengthens bones, and enhances balance, thus making everyday movements safer and easier.

Strength training is also linked to reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression while potentially slowing cognitive decline.

Hiring a personal trainer after 30 can be one of the smartest decisions you make for your weight loss journey, but only if that trainer truly understands how fat loss works for adults. Unfortunately, many people over 30 work incredibly hard in the gym and still don’t see results because their personal trainer is unknowingly holding them back.In this video, I break down three common personal trainer mistakes that sabotage weight loss after 30. We cover why generic workout routines don’t work for adults over 30, how training too hard can slow down fat loss, and why obsessing over the scale can create unnecessary stress. Weight loss after turning 30 is a lot more challenging. In this video, you’ll learn why men and women often need different strategies, why extreme workout intensity can backfire, and what metrics matter more than just body weight when trying to lose fat sustainably.Coach Julio is an expert in fitness and nutrition, having helped hundreds of busy office professionals and parents in their 30s, 40s, and 50s be their healthiest with personalized training plans and nutritionist counseling services.

Does coffee raise bad cholesterol? ☕ If you’re a busy professional who relies on coffee to get through the day, this is something you need to know. Certain brewing methods contain compounds called cafestol and kahweol that may increase LDL (aka “bad”) cholesterol. With heart disease being the leading cause of death in the U.S., this matters.The good news? Most people can safely enjoy 1–3 cups of unfiltered coffee per day without major impact when following a healthy lifestyle.What you add to your coffee can be just as important. Creamers, sweetened coffee drinks, and bulletproof coffee can quickly increase calories, sugar, and saturated fat, potentially slowing weight loss and negatively affecting cholesterol levels.In this video, I break down the science behind coffee, cholesterol, and how to enjoy your daily cup without sabotaging your health or fitness goals.Coach Julio is an expert in fitness and nutrition, having helped hundreds of busy office professionals and parents in their 30s, 40s, and 50s be their healthiest with personalized training plans and nutritionist counseling services.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has released new guidelines on GLP-1 inhibitors (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound, etc.) outlining how these medications should be used in the global fight against rising obesity rates. Originally created for type 2 diabetes, GLP-1 medications help manage hunger and support weight loss. The WHO emphasizes early intervention, lifestyle changes, and behavioral support alongside medication for long-term success.The new guidelines also highlight major challenges, including drug availability, high costs, and the future of GLP-1 inhibitors as patents of active ingredients (i.e. semaglutide) start to expire. With obesity affecting over 1 billion people worldwide, these recommendations aim to expand access, reduce global obesity rates, and improve outcomes. This video breaks down what the WHO’s GLP-1 guidance means for weight loss, health, and your fitness journey.Coach Julio is an expert in fitness and nutrition, having helped hundreds of busy office professionals and parents in their 30s, 40s, and 50s be their healthiest with personalized training plans and nutritionist counseling services.
