In this episode, I’m joined by Tokyo-based fitness coach Andy Morgan, from Ripped Body, known for cutting through the noise with practical, evidence-based advice. We discuss Japan’s unique health culture, the downside of misleading supplements, how “victim mentality” is holding people back, and why simple nutrition advice often gets overlooked. Andy also shares what successful clients actually do differently, the problem with forcing kids to finish their plates, and how to train effectively when you’ve only got 2–3 days a week. Whether you're a seasoned lifter or a beginner stuck in a rut, this episode will give you clarity, perspective, and actionable takeaways.
