In this powerful conversation, Coach Frank is joined once again by psychologist and bestselling author Dr. Glenn Livingston (Never Binge Again) to break down one of the biggest hidden challenges men face: staying in control around food — especially during the holidays.

They explore why so many disciplined, successful men lose control with their eating this time of year, and how to indulge without guilt, compromise, or spiraling into a "start again Monday" setback.

Dr. Livingston reveals simple rules, identity-based strategies, and mindset shifts that allow men to enjoy the holidays while maintaining discipline, confidence, and self-respect — without obsessing, restricting, or apologizing for their goals.

Expect to Learn

• Why high-performers fall off more during the holidays — and how to stop it
  
  

• The exact moment overeating starts — and how to intercept it
  
  

• How to enjoy holiday food without losing control or waking up ashamed

• Tools for navigating social pressure and family dynamics around food
  
  

• Why perfectionism is the enemy of long-term health
  
  

• The role of identity in lasting behavior change
  
  

• How to set New Year's resolutions that actually work
  
  

• Why emotional healing doesn't come before discipline — it comes after habits change
  
  

Key Takeaways

• Boundaries prevent guilt. You can indulge — but you must decide when, where, and how much ahead of time.
  
  

• Social pressure is real — but manageable. Redirect conversations instead of defending your choices.
  
  

• Clear food rules = less stress. Discipline is easier when your brain isn't negotiating every decision.
  
  

• Mindful eating changes the experience. Slow down, taste your food, and stay present at the table.
  
  

• Put your phone away during meals. Connection increases fulfillment and reduces overeating.
  
  

• Identity is the long-term lever. Eat according to the man you're becoming — not the impulse of the moment.
  
  

• Aim for consistency, not perfection. Small wins build momentum — and momentum builds belief.
  
  

• Visualize consequences. Think beyond the moment and feel future outcomes before you act.
  
  

• Behavior drives emotion. Fix your patterns first, and the emotional attachment to food begins to dissolve.
  
  

• New Year's resolutions must be specific. Vague motivation fades — concrete rules stick.

In this power-packed episode of The Super Human Life, Coach Frank sits down with Chris Duffin — legendary strength athlete, mechanical engineer, entrepreneur, and one of the most respected voices in human performance and biological optimization.

Chris shares his unbelievable story of survival, resilience, and reinvention, and reveals a framework that's helping high-performing men rebuild purpose, identity, and physical vitality — especially after career success turns into stagnation, burnout, or loss of drive.

Whether you're a business leader, former athlete, father, or high performer who knows you're capable of more, this episode will challenge you and equip you to break through the plateau and reclaim the edge.

About Chris Duffin

Chris "The Mad Scientist" Duffin is a world-record-setting powerlifter, bestselling author, biomechanical genius, and the founder of Kabuki Strength and multiple human-performance companies.

He has worked with:

• Every major league baseball team
  
  

• 90% of the NBA
  
  

• 80% of the NFL
  
  

• Elite military operators
  
  

• Hollywood action performers
  
  

• High-net-worth executives + former steroid-enhanced athletes
  
  

After surviving a traumatic upbringing and rising to become a top executive, world-class strength athlete, and multimillion-dollar founder, Chris devoted his life to helping people build resilience and optimize human biology for peak performance and longevity.

He now coaches individuals and professionals through biomechanics, peptides, mitochondrial repair, hormone optimization, and cellular-level resilience.

Key Takeaways

✔ Comfort is the new danger. Men don't just break down at rock bottom — many collapse at rock top after success leads to stagnation and meaninglessness.

✔ Growth requires resistance. Just like muscles atrophy in a cast, the mind and soul weaken without intentional challenge.

✔ The Six P's of Growth:
Precipice → Plunge → Pit → Pole → Peak → Plateau
You must choose the plunge before life forces you into it.

✔ Fear isn't the enemy. True strength is remaining self-aware inside stress — neither paralyzed by fear nor reckless without it.

✔ Mindset alone is not enough. If your biology is compromised — hormones, mitochondria, inflammation — you're fighting your own physiology every day.

✔ Modern men can reclaim energy and clarity. Peptides, hormone alignment, mitochondrial support, and circadian rhythm optimization can reverse brain fog, low drive, recovery issues, and emotional instability.

✔ The Superhuman life = value-aligned living. Not achievement — but building a life where your actions express who you were created to be.

Peptides & Optimization Mentioned

Chris shares a high-level overview of cutting-edge regenerative and performance-boosting tools, including:

• CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin (GH optimization)
  
  

• TRT micro-dosing aligned with circadian rhythm
  
  

• BPC-157, TB-500, KPV (gut & tissue repair)
  
  

• Alcar, ketones, urolithin A (metabolic support)
  
  

• SLUPP 3-3-2, MOTS-C, SS-31 (mitochondrial restoration)
