Well it's definitely more personal doing it the way Mike has been doing it for years, but my goodness the Generation Z joke of your body parts hurting watching things has been overused for years. Try real comedy
My jaw dropped when she said that some women considered her as masculine. She is very feminine. I noticed the ring on her finger so I say this with full respect towards her husband, she is a very beautiful women and more importantly, she has the personality to match it. Some women have no clue what femininity is when it comes to the opposite sex's (guys') attraction. I am glad that she took the criticism with a grain of salt, a very matured attitude.
I tried high protein high fat, carnivore diet ish, my gut still prefers a few boiled mushrooms, half onion and a carrot to go with that meat, the toilet visit is so much more pleasant.
I eat a large salad with a protein almost every single day. Even when I cook my egg whites, I throw it on top of kale and shredded broccoli slaw. But when I go to my parents house to eat, I always get constipated when I stay up there. Because most of their diet is Protein and vegetables. As a runner that is hard I do not like to feel like there’s a block of cement sitting in my stomach. So I always have to travel with those Dulcolax chews- Which which I don’t really like to do because I don’t wanna force myself to have diarrhea and sometimes I think that those Dulcolax make you really dehydrated. I noticed a huge difference in my sodium water balance when I have to take that stuff. Also when I’m up at my parents house in Florida, I run outside on the bridge so it’s very hot and I tend to get dehydrated, but I can’t stand to be constipated up there with their meat diet
@@felipearbustopotd I eat atleast one avocado every day and a bunch of raw almonds and walnuts. I also cook with EVOO… but I still need those greens or some prunes at least.
WOW! So I’m approaching 40 here in the next couple months and I’ve slowly been gaining more weight, partly from not eating as well as I had years back, but also from having aches and pains in various places that made it not so fun to exercise. I kept looking at exercising like it was just torture. Even more so than throughout my 20’s and 30’s. But you said something that dawned on me…”long femurs”. I have NEVER thought about that being a “thing”. It makes total sense though and connects so many dots! SO many people talk about doing the typical barbel squats and I’ve always been afraid of hurting my back and a lot of my pain is in my SI joint and tight legs, mainly thighs but it’s now affecting my calves and what not because I’m not working out as much and things are so tight. I’m going to have to focus on exercises that caters to my long femurs because I have very short calves and while I’m not tall, I have always had that body build. Thank you so much!!!!!!
She looks familiar, have you had her on here before? Definitely a good topic because fat loss is better than weight loss, especially for women who might gain 2 lb overall yet to be 5 in thinner and much much healthier which is why the guys over at Mind Pump make the joke of throwing away your scale because it's not a good metric of health
The way I see it now, protein is the treat and foundation for health. Good quality food and protein is expensive, there is no money to waste and why would you if you are investing in quality. It's a lifestyle budget choice. I used to love Pizza, but now if I have a lot of protein and enjoy it, everything else will take care of itself. Body starts to desire quality stuff. Organic blue berries tastes great, and benefits. That's my treat. Anything good is a treat, cheat meals are a old way of thinking now..Just enjoy it all or don't.
I wonder if her success in bodybuilding has a direct correlation with her parents prioritizing protein while growing up? I am from a third world country, where protein is rare to have in your meal, and one or two eggs are diluted to feed a family of 6. I remember my mom only giving steak to my dad, we got the meat flavor, or a tiny piece. If I asked for more, there never was more. 🤔 So I was stuffed with potatoes and rice, the cheapest option available. Minimal vegetable too.
If you only eat animal protein as a child growing you’ll get excellent form and muscle strength. Look at the masai people they eat very little but it’s mostly animal meat and raw animal milk. They can jump very high and go without food for days, their muscle anatomy is at its finest in the natural state. None of us can go without food We’ll die within 48 hours. We’re terribly weak. Women these days even the ones who go to the gym are not built for fieldwork these days imagine if we had Armageddon or services stopped. We’d all perish except the 3rd world people
I think your videos are pretty great! You interview well and have great people on! If you’re open to a tip about your intro, if you make it shorter and cut it to a pique point that’s really interesting, and lower the music, it could keep people listening longer. I almost turned it off because the music was overwhelming and she talked so long, but was interested in the topic so kept watching. ❤
to ease the pain in the neck, stop watching. Here it is Building muscle and losing fat, especially for individuals over 40, can be approached with a combination of targeted exercises, proper nutrition, and lifestyle adjustments. Here are some general tips to consider: 1. **Resistance Training:** Incorporate strength training exercises into your routine at least 2-3 times per week. Focus on compound movements like squats, deadlifts, bench presses, and rows to work multiple muscle groups simultaneously. 2. **Progressive Overload:** Gradually increase the intensity of your workouts by adding more weight, increasing repetitions, or reducing rest time between sets. This helps stimulate muscle growth and improve strength. 3. **Cardiovascular Exercise:** Include cardiovascular activities such as brisk walking, cycling, or swimming to improve heart health and support fat loss. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity cardio per week. 4. **Protein-Rich Diet:** Consume adequate protein to support muscle repair and growth. Include lean sources of protein such as chicken, fish, tofu, legumes, and dairy products in your meals. 5. **Balanced Nutrition:** Focus on a balanced diet that includes plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats. Limit processed foods, sugary drinks, and excessive amounts of saturated fats and refined sugars. 6. **Adequate Rest:** Ensure you're getting enough sleep each night, as rest is crucial for muscle recovery and overall well-being. Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep per night. 7. **Stay Hydrated:** Drink plenty of water throughout the day to support hydration, energy levels, and overall health. 8. **Consistency:** Stay consistent with your workouts and nutrition plan. Progress may take time, so be patient and stay committed to your fitness goals.
► FIBER ISSUES: For some people fiber can constipate you. I am one of those people. I had a DNA test done and they said I have a nerve issue that causes the intestines to not contract, so therefore more fiber just makes me get backed up.
I’ve always wished that I could work out in the mornings. But no matter how hard I try I cannot work out in the morning! I love working out at night. I love running at night. I love doing training at night even when I’m tired when I get off work, I’ll have some coffee. I’m already hydrated from the water that I’ve been consuming throughout the day and I’m in a 12 hour fasting, so I have a better workout when I do it at night.
I find if I workout in the morning I’m too tired all day- but after work I get a second wind and get better quality workouts somehow - and sleep better!
@@Somebodysomewheresometime yes I’m the same way! Believe me, I’ve tried to join the dozens of friends that I have to get up early in the morning and get their workout done and clean. I feel amazing all day. I have the opposite effect. It makes me tired the rest of the day.
Great info! Will definitely look into to basil seeds vs chia. How do you get that much protein in while fasting for so many hours per day? What does a typical day’s meals look like for you?
53 5’1” lost 50+lb and gained muscle and strength. Like Holly said, building a healthy, strong and fit body is def earned and takes work! Key areas are diet, strength training, sleep and stress… and hormones. If one is off it can throw everything. off. Def possible to lose body fat and gain muscle 💪🏋️♂️
TBH I don't see how this applies to the life of an average female, whether they are pre- or post-menop. This is far removed from the life of an average female
Great interview Mike. I do think HRT, or any additional hormone therapy, bio-identical or not. is really no different than taking anabolic steroids, low dose perhaps, but you're still taking exogenous hormones.
I’m not understanding the major issue with chicken, rice, broccoli? All of these are whole foods. Add in a few more things and you’re at a healthy diet.
The bottom line rule is to pay attention to how various foods "affect" your body. For some, rice may be fine but for others it may not be. It's no different than food allergies; clearly if someone is allergic to eggs they obviously shouldn't eat them.
@@ambhatti1538 I agree. I just don’t understand saying that eating like a body builder (chicken, rice, broccoli) is a bad thing. This channel is about restrictive diets, just not following why that particular one is bad.
I have maintained good muscle tone into middle age by doing resistance band workouts at home a few times a week, wrapping the bands around a door. I'll be damned if I gain weight and ruin my health with the excuse that I don't have time to drive to a gym or the government locked me in the house due to a panic.
I never remember her saying that at all. I remember her putting a lot of emphasis on what you put in your body. She’s been on a lot of podcasts and real time with Bill Maher and Club. Random podcast lately talking about a variety of health related subjects, including all of the things she was wrong about 10 years ago.
In trying to save on groceries ( I spend 1/4 of my income on organic produce), I don’t eat red meat, but I do eat wildcat fish, scallops, shrimp, organic egg whites and once every two weeks, I will buy a Costco rotisserie chicken because they are cheap. Is it OK to eat the rotisserie chicken even though it’s not organic when I eat it, but it’s loaded with oils and salt because I have such a clean diet almost feels like I’m eating Kentucky fried chicken. I don’t eat fast food that’s what it feels like when I eat the rotisserie chicken from Costco but I get it because I need the protein and it’s cheap. But is it really that bad for you?
It is considered as processed food (salt, sodium phosphate, modified food starch, potato dextrin, carrageenan, sugar, dextrose, spice extractives). I go to Costco about once a month and I still pick one up and have it for 3-4 meals (sometimes just a pure carnivore meal, I am nowhere near a 100% carnivore guy, but I do sometimes have meals that are 100% meats). Half of the time I will pull off the skin, depending on my mood whether or not I am really hungry and/or feeling lazy). Does that help a lot? I don't know, some of it might be injected.
@@bgrimlan I pretty much knew the answer that it was definitely a processed food. I mean, my taste buds can feel the difference.. when I was super lean and super fat I could never stomach something like that. But now that I’ve had it twice this year, the organic rotisserie chicken from Whole Foods tastes, awful! Dry and boring And three times the cost..
1gram of protein to 1pound of body weight. It doesn’t compute using kilos and grams!! I heard a while back to eat the amount of protein for the weight you WANT TO BE, vs what it actually is!? I don’t know how I’d get That much food in!
@@gwenjones1913 in the end, I kept overdosing myself with protein powder followed by a month at seaside with intense kitesurfing, more protein in food and even more protein powder and I lost 4 kilos of fat 😂
Sounds like she eats them ripe if she’s pan frying them. Or baking them they are really starchy and they make me very heavy but they are so delicious.. one of those foods that I can tell immediately fatten me up.
If someone eats a croissant for breakfast and gets bloated (she said carbohydrates) that is not healthy in my book. Having such low metabolic resiliance is not good by any standard.
I was on a bioidentical hormone in my 30s when I stopped getting my period and they gave me progesterone. Because I was so lean 🏃♀ 🏋♀ I didn’t have a period for many years.. estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone are the most commonly prescribed bioidentical hormones.
@@jenniferyates325 I never heard her say that she does anything natural. none of these Fitness do anything natural. Almost all of them take some sort of hormone replacement therapy, Ozempic, which she admitted to taking., fillers Botox injections of any kind and every kind to supplement their routine and get them as lean as possible. And if you have money, you can do it too.
@@catcan221 no I’m constipated unless I start eating raw spinach and power greens. I will just show fistful of arugula and spinach and red onion all of those raw vegetables or I am miserable if I eat a block of meat. I can feel that my stomach when I try and run and it makes me feel heavy.
@@HH-gv8mx You should be exercising in a fasted state. I had horrible IBS, constipation, SIBO, gallbladder sludge and stones when I was whole foods, plant based. Fiber blocks you up because it is not digestible. I always thought it was supposed to "clean you out" but it actually does the opposite. We are not like ruminant animals with a cud and four stomachs. We have shorter digestive tracts than other herbivores too. Fiber and plants also do not trigger gallbladder release of bile. Even though I always added plant based fats, it was not enough to trigger the gallbladder to release bile acids and I nearly lost my gallbladder because the bile would just sit in there are get too concentrated, sludgy and even form stones. I ended up in the ER so many times with horrible attacks. It was not until I dumped all that useless fiber and began eating clean animal protein & fats that I healed my SIBO, gallbladder disease, IBS, GERD, constipation (plus hemorrhoids). I think that Zoe Harcombe really makes the science of the fiber myth very understandable. I saw her talks AFTER I had already made my own N of 1 discovery, but it is very good to watch. Good luck to you. 👍🏻
Roids just say it...I break my ass I'm 52 years old and gain shit...eat as healthy as you can but building muscle is a no no after certain age...trt possible but Roids is the way. Everyone saying his and coaching without any results. Creatine my ass!
I loved this interview until she said “ older women in their 60’s” in reference to “them” not wanting to look like her … OUCH… I’m 62 & feel Holly has a terrific physique …. But that comment definitely turned me off…. Do NOT categorize older women that way… how dare she….. 👎👎👎
Oh no hell no dog. I need fistful of spinach and arugula and raw red onion and power greens and kale along with that block of meat. I cannot stand to be constipated!
@@tylerhoffman2271 I said. If you must eat meat. GET IT FROM A HUMANE SOURCE not a factory farm Factory farm meat is not so healthy. Seven Sons Farm is a humane source as far as I can tell.
@@inthehouse9062 you might want to be more precise in your wording as in using the phrase 'if you must' implies that you shouldn't and that it isn't necessary.
33:25 that's because you're not fat adapted. A full, performance ready fat adaptation may take well over 6 months, so pros rarely go there. But it's so much worth it!
@@nutech1810I didn't say 80%. Fat adaptation happens with consistency. Consistently not ingesting carbs. Performance needs protein too because the turnover is higher, so 80% fat is probably not optimal. Most athletes do best with 1:1 on mass (g), with personal variations +/- not much, depending on type of sport as well as individual metabolism.

More isn't always better. More iron doesn't mean anything, 'cos it's not in the form your body needs it. More potassium isn't useful if you don't need it and too much is detrimental. Fiber is contraindicated.

Remember when that Jillian chick said nutrition doesn't matter; that it was all the workout??? NEVER RESPECTED OR LISTENED TO HER EVER‼️
I never remember her saying that at all. I remember her putting a lot of emphasis on what you put in your body. She’s been on a lot of podcasts and real time with Bill Maher and Club. Random podcast lately talking about a variety of health related subjects, including all of the things she was wrong about 10 years ago.
Constipated on carnivore? Too much dairy and not enough fat.
Throw in cruciferous veges and nicotine patch and your good to go
In trying to save on groceries ( I spend 1/4 of my income on organic produce), I don’t eat red meat, but I do eat wildcat fish, scallops, shrimp, organic egg whites and once every two weeks, I will buy a Costco rotisserie chicken because they are cheap. Is it OK to eat the rotisserie chicken even though it’s not organic when I eat it, but it’s loaded with oils and salt because I have such a clean diet almost feels like I’m eating Kentucky fried chicken. I don’t eat fast food that’s what it feels like when I eat the rotisserie chicken from Costco but I get it because I need the protein and it’s cheap. But is it really that bad for you?
It is considered as processed food (salt, sodium phosphate, modified food starch, potato dextrin, carrageenan, sugar, dextrose, spice extractives). I go to Costco about once a month and I still pick one up and have it for 3-4 meals (sometimes just a pure carnivore meal, I am nowhere near a 100% carnivore guy, but I do sometimes have meals that are 100% meats). Half of the time I will pull off the skin, depending on my mood whether or not I am really hungry and/or feeling lazy). Does that help a lot? I don't know, some of it might be injected.
@@bgrimlan I pretty much knew the answer that it was definitely a processed food. I mean, my taste buds can feel the difference.. when I was super lean and super fat I could never stomach something like that. But now that I’ve had it twice this year, the organic rotisserie chicken from Whole Foods tastes, awful! Dry and boring And three times the cost..
Ditch the shellfish it’s unclean
@@LeonTheLion-777 I rarely eat it. But maybe 3 scallops a week. It’s really hard for me to get protein and since I don’t eat.Meat or pork.
Im a landmine squat guy.........
I am 80 kgs, so this means I should eat 220 g proteins per day - how do I do that? That is enormous amount of food.
1gram of protein to 1pound of body weight. It doesn’t compute using kilos and grams!! I heard a while back to eat the amount of protein for the weight you WANT TO BE, vs what it actually is!? I don’t know how I’d get That much food in!
@@gwenjones1913 in the end, I kept overdosing myself with protein powder followed by a month at seaside with intense kitesurfing, more protein in food and even more protein powder and I lost 4 kilos of fat 😂
BBers were on it!
Do you eat your plantains green or ripe?
Sounds like she eats them ripe if she’s pan frying them. Or baking them they are really starchy and they make me very heavy but they are so delicious.. one of those foods that I can tell immediately fatten me up.
@@HH-gv8mx thank you! I agree, until I have a sculpted body like hers, I will not eat them.
Love plantains!!
If someone eats a croissant for breakfast and gets bloated (she said carbohydrates) that is not healthy in my book. Having such low metabolic resiliance is not good by any standard.
Mike never fails to invite the smoking hotties. 😂
is bioidentical hormone replacement therapy another way of saying you take testosterone to build muscle, taking a performance enhancing drug?
I was on a bioidentical hormone in my 30s when I stopped getting my period and they gave me progesterone. Because I was so lean 🏃♀ 🏋♀ I didn’t have a period for many years..
estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone are the most commonly prescribed bioidentical hormones.
thanks@@HH-gv8mx so its matching the normal level of hormone, as opposed to exceeding normal levels... bioidentical...
I thought she claimed to be natural and not go down that path in the beginning! Then says she does hrt and peptides!
And takes testosterone? Not sure how she claims natural 🤔
@@jenniferyates325 I never heard her say that she does anything natural. none of these Fitness do anything natural. Almost all of them take some sort of hormone replacement therapy, Ozempic, which she admitted to taking., fillers Botox injections of any kind and every kind to supplement their routine and get them as lean as possible. And if you have money, you can do it too.
Big thumbs up for Holly. 2.5 grams / lb are just right 😁😁
I am surprised to hear her talking fiber when there is no nutrient value to that and it is not even a necessary macro. 😮
No need to be constipated, as dietary fat will take care of that.
Fitness people mostly really don't know about nutrition. They tend to take the info from the mainstream
@@Conservative_carnivoreespecially body builders who actually don't care about nutrition at all ultimately.
@@catcan221 no I’m constipated unless I start eating raw spinach and power greens. I will just show fistful of arugula and spinach and red onion all of those raw vegetables or I am miserable if I eat a block of meat. I can feel that my stomach when I try and run and it makes me feel heavy.
@@HH-gv8mx You should be exercising in a fasted state.
I had horrible IBS, constipation, SIBO, gallbladder sludge and stones when I was whole foods, plant based. Fiber blocks you up because it is not digestible. I always thought it was supposed to "clean you out" but it actually does the opposite. We are not like ruminant animals with a cud and four stomachs. We have shorter digestive tracts than other herbivores too. Fiber and plants also do not trigger gallbladder release of bile. Even though I always added plant based fats, it was not enough to trigger the gallbladder to release bile acids and I nearly lost my gallbladder because the bile would just sit in there are get too concentrated, sludgy and even form stones. I ended up in the ER so many times with horrible attacks.
It was not until I dumped all that useless fiber and began eating clean animal protein & fats that I healed my SIBO, gallbladder disease, IBS, GERD, constipation (plus hemorrhoids).
I think that Zoe Harcombe really makes the science of the fiber myth very understandable. I saw her talks AFTER I had already made my own N of 1 discovery, but it is very good to watch. Good luck to you. 👍🏻
I wish she would have talked about her PED's and what works for her.
Right?? But prepare to be gaslit when pointing out the obvious.
Gotta say the daily protein intake levels thrown around seem quite unnatural.
It is. .75 gr gram per body weight is sufficient

Who brought the ketchup and mustard?
😂😂😂
Goddammit with saying "like" every other fucking word!!
Triggered? 😂
Roids just say it...I break my ass I'm 52 years old and gain shit...eat as healthy as you can but building muscle is a no no after certain age...trt possible but Roids is the way. Everyone saying his and coaching without any results. Creatine my ass!
nice guns, mike
I loved this interview until she said “ older women in their 60’s” in reference to “them” not wanting to look like her … OUCH… I’m 62 & feel Holly has a terrific physique …. But that comment definitely turned me off…. Do NOT categorize older women that way… how dare she….. 👎👎👎
Sorry but she lost me when started talk about fibre 😐 great show but I'm Carnivore 🥩🥩🍖🍖
That’s where women’s physiology is different from a man’s. Women need fiber focused diet when we are getting close to peri/menapause years
@@mariechelnokova5298 BS. Fibre is as useless as teets on a bull
Oh no hell no dog. I need fistful of spinach and arugula and raw red onion and power greens and kale along with that block of meat. I cannot stand to be constipated!
@@HH-gv8mx💯💯💯
You won’t be carnivore forever, so check yourself.
You mean “Her?” Pronoun dysphoria?
PEDS. DUH
If you must eat meat Don’t get it from a factory farm Instead from a farm that treats animals as humanely as possible
Meat is the healthiest thing on the planet to eat so not sure why you wouldn't eat it.
@@tylerhoffman2271 I said. If you must eat meat. GET IT FROM A HUMANE SOURCE not a factory farm Factory farm meat is not so healthy. Seven Sons Farm is a humane source as far as I can tell.
@@inthehouse9062 you might want to be more precise in your wording as in using the phrase 'if you must' implies that you shouldn't and that it isn't necessary.
😂 true.. guy sounds like a vegan
No thanks to fiber and seeds.
Glad some one else mentioned the oddity, about the sitting arrangement.
I do not get what you are saying.
@@creepycrespi8180 Why sit side by side when interviewing. Face the other person.
33:25 that's because you're not fat adapted. A full, performance ready fat adaptation may take well over 6 months, so pros rarely go there. But it's so much worth it!
Not everyone likes 80% fat. I felt & looked like crap on it. Most carnivores don't look good.
@@nutech1810I didn't say 80%. Fat adaptation happens with consistency. Consistently not ingesting carbs. Performance needs protein too because the turnover is higher, so 80% fat is probably not optimal. Most athletes do best with 1:1 on mass (g), with personal variations +/- not much, depending on type of sport as well as individual metabolism.
The speaker is seated next to each other in front of the camera, but this setup is not ideal for a podcast. Notice how they are facing sideways instead of towards the camera.
I noticed the camera moves two different positions so there is a cameraman. They could be sitting at a more comfortable position instead!
More isn't always better. More iron doesn't mean anything, 'cos it's not in the form your body needs it. More potassium isn't useful if you don't need it and too much is detrimental. Fiber is contraindicated.
Spell check the thumb nail
Great show!! I’m interested in learning about all of this and thank you Holly you are so awesome !
I thought I saw this a while ago. They were situated in the same position, and the same comments as here.
What functional medicine doctor did she use for HRT?
