Eat's Healthy

In this concise yet powerful episode of the Eat’s Healthy Podcast, host Andrei is fired up after spotting a startling ad on the tube from a major brand, revealing that 1 in 2 women over 50 break a bone due to low bone density. Andrei passionately debunks the myth that exercise—especially weightlifting—is just for weight loss or looking good. Instead, it’s a lifesaver for women, boosting bone health, aiding post-surgery recovery, and enhancing mental well-being. Forget heavy weights or risky moves like deadlifts; Andrei advocates for safer, high-rep (15-20) workouts using gym machines to build strength without injury. This episode is a wake-up call for women to prioritize exercise for longevity, mobility, and enjoying life with kids, grandkids, or even pets—not just for aesthetics. Tune in to rethink fitness and take control of your health today!

In this episode of the Eat’s Healthy Podcast, host Andrei shares insights from an old X post comparing weight loss to post-surgery recovery—both require time, patience, and lots of repetitions to rebuild strength, whether it’s physio for a knee or spine injury or high-rep exercises to activate and grow muscles after periods of inactivity. Andrei criticizes quick-fix programs promising 20kg losses in 3 months, explaining why heavy weights and low reps aren’t ideal; instead, focus on high-rep workouts to safely strengthen muscles, regain elasticity, and return to “normal” without risking setbacks. For those overweight or obese, the message is clear: stop chasing fast results—treat your body like it’s recovering from a major “surgery,” build habits with reps and consistency, and achieve sustainable health. Tune in for a mindset-shifting analogy that could change how you approach fitness forever!

In this passionate episode of the Eat’s Healthy Podcast, host Andrei delivers a wake-up call about the critical importance of building muscle mass before it’s too late. Too many people in their 50s, 60s, and 70s struggle with pain, immobility, and reliance on medications because they neglected exercise earlier in life. Andrei emphasizes that your body won’t signal the need to build muscle, so you must proactively create exercise habits—whether through squats, push-ups, or chin-ups—to maintain strength and elasticity. Forget the myth that building muscle means becoming a bodybuilder; it’s about ensuring you can enjoy your retirement, play with your grandkids, and live without constant pain or pills. With a focus on high-rep workouts over heavy weights, Andrei urges listeners in their 30s and 40s to start now, because waiting until the damage is done is a regret you can’t undo. Tune in for a powerful plea to prioritize muscle mass for a healthier, more vibrant future!

In this episode of the Eat’s Healthy Podcast, host Andrei pulls back the curtain on personal trainers, explaining why they’re often temporary “come and go” fixes that leave you dependent and uneducated—rarely lasting beyond a few months, even for the wealthy. Drawing from 7 years in the industry, Andrei contrasts trainers (who dictate workouts, diets, and motivation) with true coaches (who guide and empower you through education for independence). Discover why relying on trainers leads to excuses like “I need motivation” or “I don’t know what to do,” while self-education in common-sense basics—push-ups, squats, meal schedules, hydration, avoiding processed foods, and moderate reps to prevent injuries—puts you in control for 30-40 years. Andrei urges listeners to ditch quick fixes, embrace lifelong habits that account for life’s ups and downs (like grief or parties), and build resilience for physical and mental health. Tune in to learn the real path to staying fit without the hype!

In this episode of the Eat’s Healthy Podcast, host Andrei breaks down the two ways to create muscle intensity—high repetitions versus heavy weights—and why the heavy weight can be a risky trap for 99% of people. Obsessing over lifting heavier and heavier weights often leads to injuries in joints like the spine, shoulders, hips, or knees, derailing your fitness journey and triggering excuses to quit. Andrei explains how focusing on more repetitions with moderate weights not only builds muscle effectively but also minimizes injury risk, promotes better recovery, and naturally leads to strength gains over time. From avoiding dangerous moves like heavy deadlifts (unless you’re a powerlifter) to embracing slower, controlled reps for maximum burn, this episode offers practical tips for staying fit and healthy until your 80s without the setbacks of injuries.

In this episode of the Eat’s Healthy Podcast, host Andrea tests out the new AirPods 3 while unpacking how industries manipulate society into obsessing over calorie counting, diets, and fasting for profit—from food companies to tech gadgets tracking your every move. Discover why the brain is your body’s top energy consumer (fixed and unchangeable), but muscles come second and can be upgraded to burn more energy naturally, aiding weight loss, disease prevention, and a stronger immune system. Andrei argues for ditching label-scanning and portion obsession in favor of building and maintaining muscle mass—not to bodybuilder levels, but for everyday fitness and stamina. Imagine a world where everyone prioritizes protein intake and sustainable exercise habits over short-term transformations; people would develop lifelong routines, look healthier, and thrive. Tune in for a mindset reset that challenges the status quo and empowers you to upgrade your body’s “gadget” for lasting wellness!

In this episode of the Eat’s Healthy Podcast, host Andrei debunks the myth that you need a complex gym workout plan with specific muscle group combinations, like biceps with chest or triceps with calves, to see results. Originally pushed by athletes and fitness models, these rigid routines are irrelevant for 99% of people. Whether you’re a nurse, flight attendant, or millionaire, Andrei explains how you can hit the gym for just 15-30 minutes, focus on one muscle group (like calves), push it to fatigue, and still reap all the benefits of exercise—without overcomplicating things. Learn why shorter, intense workouts followed by proper recovery time are enough for most of us, and how to ditch the athlete-driven “perfect plan” mindset to keep fitness simple and effective. Tune in for a refreshing take on making workouts work for you!

In this empowering episode of Eat’sHealthy Podcast, host Andrei challenges the reliance on personal trainers and nutritionists for sustainable health. With over 50% of people regaining weight within two years and 85% within five after short-term programs, Andrei argues that these services, while helpful, are often temporary and unsustainable—whether you’re a billionaire or working a 9-to-5. Instead, the key to lasting wellness lies in building lifelong habits: learning to cook clean meals, setting a meal schedule (even with demanding jobs like doctors or flight attendants), and exercising just 2-3 times a week for full-body benefits. Andrei dives into why we crave the motivation from trainers, linking it to a deeper lack of encouragement in our past, and urges listeners to take control through education and discipline. Discover how to create your own routines, set boundaries with processed foods, and embrace a common-sense approach to health that lasts far beyond a three-month program. Tune in to reclaim your

In this eye-opening episode, we explore a critical gap in human biology: unlike hunger or thirst, your body has no built-in sensor to signal when you need to exercise. This absence can lead to years of inactivity, with hidden damage accumulating over time that’s nearly impossible to fully reverse. Host Andrei breaks down why waiting for a wake-up call—like a health scare—means you’re already behind, as the effects of neglecting exercise for a decade or more can’t be undone in just a year or two. Learn why building daily exercise habits and discipline is non-negotiable for long-term health, and take away a powerful reminder to start moving now before the damage becomes irreversible. Tune in for a motivating call to action to prioritize fitness today!

In this episode of Eat’s Healthy Podcast, host Andrei dives into a viral post that sparked deep conversations: why focusing solely on fitness and nutrition for weight loss often fails in the long run. Discover how emotional triggers, bad habits formed during chaotic life periods—like entrepreneurial burnout or grieving a loved one—underlie weight gain, and why ignoring them turns you into a “machine” doomed to yo-yo results. Andrea emphasizes peeling back the layers of your past through personal development, understanding your brain’s emotional dominance (as explored in books like The Chimp Paradox), and making slow, sustainable habit changes for true, lasting health. Learn why progress beats perfection, why high-quality transformations take time, and how integrating therapy, reading (The Happiness Advantage, Wanting), and self-reflection can revolutionize your wellness journey.
