In this episode of The Holistic Fat Loss & Fitness Podcast, we unpack why your weight loss may have stalled—even if you're doing everything right.

Sam sits down with Vince and Viv to explore how advanced testing like DNA methylation, comprehensive blood work, and stool analysis can pinpoint your unique fat loss blockers, hormonal imbalances, and metabolic inefficiencies. Vince shares how these insights helped him drop 10kg and hit his goals for the first time in 25+ years.

You’ll learn:

• The difference between DNA, blood, and stool testing—and why all three matter
• How low testosterone and estrogen levels impact your metabolism, energy, and recovery
• The role of sugar in sabotaging testosterone, and how to enjoy treats without hormonal chaos
• When HRT (hormone replacement therapy) makes sense—and when natural strategies are enough

If you’re 40+ and stuck despite clean eating and regular training, this is the missing link you need.

Over 40 and still feeling inflamed, tired, or stuck – no matter what you do?

You’re not broken. But your plan probably is.

Are you ticking all the “healthy” boxes but still feeling flat, puffy, or stuck with fat loss?

You’re likely missing one of the biggest (but most overlooked) pillars of real health: hydration and electrolytes.

In this episode, Sam breaks down the hierarchy of health and why most people focus on the wrong 10%—while ignoring the low-hanging fruit that delivers real results.

He dives deep into the power of proper hydration and electrolyte balance, and how this underrated duo affects fat loss, recovery, sleep, performance, and metabolism.

You’ll learn:

• Why even 1–2% dehydration can slow fat loss and impair brain function
• How electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and magnesium impact muscle performance and stress regulation
• Simple daily hydration targets (including how to adjust for caffeine, workouts, or stressful days)
• What to look for (and avoid) in commercial electrolyte drinks
• How to spot the “healthy” foods that could secretly be sabotaging your progress

Whether you’re training hard, navigating daily stress, or just want to feel more energised and clear-headed—this is your hydration masterclass.
