The Ripped Body Podcast
For over a decade, we’ve helped thousands of busy guys achieve life-changing transformations — without letting the process dominate their lives.
We do not “hack” their biology. The answer is never in a supplement bottle or morning routine.
Just real food. Hard, but efficient workouts.
The Ripped Body Method is an evidence-based, data-driven system of physique transformation built to deliver.
In this series, we are helping our readers and listeners pinpoint the key gaps in their training and nutrition, and cut the rest.
No more second-guessing. No wasted effort. Just clarity and results that compound over time.
We’d be honored to show you how.

Why the Carnivore and Anti-Seed Oil Movement Scares Me
This One’s Personal.
While updating our Client Onboarding Guidelines this week, I found myself going off on a bit of a rant.
Fifteen years ago, my cousin died of a heart attack. I was too broke to fly back for the funeral. I’ve regretted that ever since.
So when I see dangerous diet trends gaining traction — the kind that could quietly send someone else’s cousin to an early grave — I can’t stay quiet.
Let me be clear: I don’t dispute that some people have had success with the Carnivore diet in addressing certain health issues. That’s great, and I don’t take issue with people sharing those experiences.
What I do take issue with is when those anecdotes are twisted into broad recommendations. Worse: when they’re paired with anti-science claims about seed oils, and used to justify sky-high saturated fat intakes.
This boom in saturated-fat-pushing, seed-oil-demonizing advice?
It’s not going to end well for a lot of people.
