How to Lose 10% Body Fat (The Healthy Is Wellness Way)

Burning Questions!

After taking an unexpected week off, we are back to make it up to you with our longest episode to date! Clocking in at almost an hour long, Zach and Gus are back in the studio, and this time, one of them has a secret script. Welcome back to Oh Health Yeah, the official podcast of Healthy Is Wellness. We reached out to our inner circle to collect the absolute biggest, most unfiltered health and wellness questions they’ve been harboring. In this episode, we are putting everything on the table and diving into the topics people usually only search for in private browser tabs. Here is a glimpse of what we are unpacking: The Peptide Wave: Are they actually the ultimate biological lock and key for recovery, or is the internet hyping up cheap imports? Cortisol and The Chemo Ache: Real, low-barrier ways to calm a system under extreme stress and natural ways to find comfort when your body is fighting its toughest battles? The Taboo Bowel Talk: Colon cancer is rising in younger generations. We need to talk about fiber, regular routines, and what it means when your gut is rejecting what you put into it? Hyper-Fixation Foods: What do you do when your brain decides it only wants one safe food, even if that food is highly processed gas station pizza or sodium-heavy soup? Healthy Burnout: How do you practice wellness when you are working 14-hour days and just trying to survive? The Positivity Trap: When does staying optimistic cross the line into toxic territory, and how does childhood survival shape the way we lead today? Finally, we put each other on the spot with a killer closing question: If you could convince the world to do just one thing for their health every day, what would it be? The answers might surprise you. Tune in to Oh Health Yeah now to hear us get nitty-gritty, highly contextual, and entirely honest.

The Beef with Protein (Eat Your Fiber)

Is red meat actually wrecking your bloodwork, or has modern media just given beef a bad rap? In this episode, we break down a surprising new study comparing chicken and beef, bust the decades-old myth that your body can only absorb 30 grams of protein per meal, and tackle how to actually hit your daily targets without living on a diet of pure chicken breast. Plus, we dive into why the modern protein craze is missing a massive piece of the puzzle: fiber. If you are protein maxing but ignoring your gut health, this one is a mandatory listen.

Small Shifts, Big Results: The Myth of the Overnight Transformation

Is your wrist buzzing right now? ⌚️✨ In today’s new episode of the Oh Health Yeah podcast, we’re talking about the simple, zero-cost boundaries you can set today to keep from feeling constantly overwhelmed. We dive into why we both recently stopped wearing our smartwatches, how to navigate a personal "stress bucket" that's completely full, and why real health is a slow burn, not an overnight transformation.   Oh, and we’re also asking the tough questions: Does the average person actually need a daily hydration packet, or is it just great marketing?

Rapid Fire

Game on. On this episode of Oh Health Yeah, we are ditching the deep dives for a high-velocity, rapid-fire breakdown of the most talked-about, controversial, and trending topics in health and wellness. Zach puts the pressure on Gus by tossing out zero-warning topics with a strict 30-second response limit, forcing a split-second distillation of what actually matters versus what is just noise. No subject is off-limits as we blitz through everything from the actual value of grip strength and ApoB metrics to the raw reality of cold plunging, sauna heat stress, and the underground rise of the peptide "Wolverine Stack" for joint recovery. We also tackle the over-optimization trap, debating whether wearable devices are giving us anxiety, if whole-body MRIs are just feeding orthorexia, and why you should definitely still pasteurize your milk. Plus, we pit dermatologists against circadian rhythm science to hash out the massive sunscreen versus vitamin D debate, leading to a hilarious look into Zach's reality as a highly burn-prone ginger. It is a fast-paced, unfiltered run through the wellness matrix that wraps up with the ultimate question: if a scan could tell you the exact day you would die, would you actually want to know? Tune in, enjoy your day, and if you have a burning question you want put through the 30-second meat grinder, drop a comment or hit us up on social media.
