Are You One of The “Sad & Frustrated” Five? Fix It.

by Phil Kaplan

After spending decades in the fitness field, I used to feel like I was meeting the same people over and over again.

Dieters caught in a lifelong yoyo.
Aerobic addicts and walkers who “can’t lose fat.”
Gym-goers doing endless sit-ups to shrink their waistlines or hitting the leg machines to "tone their thighs."

Different faces. Different names.  Same stories. Same frustration.

All misled.  All fixable.

Today? The market has changed.
But not the frustration.

I’m still meeting the same people over and over again — they just fall into five new categories.  What they have in common is this.  They know they should be loving life.  They have it all.  Except . . .. one thing, and for each of the  five the “thing” is the element of youth and fitness that’s become elusive. 

They’re all achievers.  They’re all busy.  And . . . in their quiet moments . . . they’re all sad.

LET’S PUT AN END TO THE SADNESS

Supplements can Make You Younger, Stronger, More Muscular, and Sexier.

Right?

Ummm.  No.

Not really.

Are there supplements that can play a role in your betterment?

Without question, and I’m the first to share the truth based both on research and anecdote . . .  

. . . but I’ve also gained a reputation as the protector, the truth teller, the man who, for decades, has been sharing realities in an industry where fraud runs rampant.

LYING IS NOT A RARE PRACTICE IN THE SUPPLEMENT ARENA

There are three “oldest tricks” supplement companies have historically used to sell modern day snake oil (translation: bullshit) to consumers in quest of betterment.

1. They lie on their labels and list ingredients that have validity but are NOT in the produ

Let’s Be Honest. About Your Future.

by Phil Kaplan

I’m addressing this to the man or woman who attended a webinar, booked a call with me, wants to make a change, and is committed to a frustrating shiny object driven head-spin somehow believing that “one more free thing” will change everything.

It won’t.

Now that I’ve identified the audience . . . read on . . .

WHAT ARE YOU REALLY LOOKING FOR?

If you're here at my website looking for another freebie, you'll likely find one.

Actually, you’ll probably find five. Maybe ten.

Ebooks, webinar replays, blog posts, smoothie recipes, email sequences.

I’ve given away more transformational insights, tools, frameworks, and health-shifting revelations for free than most so-called “experts” deliver in their entire paid careers.

I do it because I’m aware.
Because I have the well-document evidence-based know-how.
And because — above all else . . . 

. . . I CARE!

I believe The Truth should be accessible.
And I also know that most o...

“There’s a compass I’ve carried since I was a boy —

It's not a physical one, but one that always points to honesty.

It’s guided every decision that mattered.”

In this blog piece, I know where I’m going, and by intention, I’m taking the long way there.

If we’re going to connect as partners in your healing, there are some things I want you to know about me.

Are you willing to read on?

For those who simply don’t have time for “a long read,” if something else is calling you to scroll or scan or you’re adequately distract, I understand.  I’m still here when you’re ready.

For those who feel there may be something here worth pursuing, there’s a bit of urgency, but I’ll still taking my time.  I want you to know this…

I never set out to become a Healer, a Guru, or even an Advocate.

How I Got Here

When I first planted my white Nikes on the proverbial “Road Less Traveled,” I was a bodybuilder, a rock musician, and a college student deciding between pre-med ...

Are You Among the “Not Sick… Just…” Crowd?

by Phil Kaplan

Kenny was a golfer.
He hadn’t played a round in months.

He told his wife, his friends, and his coworkers:

“I’m not sick. I’m just a little stressed lately.”

That phrase — “I’m not sick, I’m just…” — has become the universal deflection.
It’s the shield.
The emotional armor that keeps good people from facing the truth their body already knows.

It’s how we explain away fatigue, brain fog, belly fat, joint pain, forgetfulness, mood swings… and everything else that’s quietly pulling life away from us.

The Kenny Story:

Short Version. Four Chapters:

Entropy.
Kenny started slowing down. Sleep got weird. Energy dipped. His usual routines took more effort. He shrugged it off.

Defense.
He was still going to work, still taking care of the basics. So he repeated his mantra:

“I’m not sick. I’m just a little run down. Just need a reset.”

Crash.
The reset never came. Until the wake-up call did.
He skipped a golf outing. Then two.
Th...

The Hidden Truth About Healing

by Phil Kaplan

Over the past eight weeks, I’ve had dozens of deep, often heart-wrenching conversations with people — men and women, parents and professionals, ages 32 to 80 — all searching for what the system failed to deliver: real healing.

Earlier today, I sent an email that stirred a wave of responses. I said this:

“If I shared the stories I’ve heard from clients, you’d feel one of three emotions: Disbelief. Horror. Relief.”

Now, I’d like to explain exactly what I meant — honestly, gently, and with a promise that this might be the turning point you’ve been hoping for.

These three emotions define the awakening that so many are now experiencing, especially those who learn "The Healing Code," the force underlying all of my Human Betterment Programs. And if you're caught in the cycle of meds, misdiagnoses, or frustration, this is for you.

😵 Disbelief

It’s hard to believe how many good people are being diagnosed with conditions that are entire...

“One misdiagnosis nearly changed everything. The truth? Mold toxicity — and the path to healing it — completely changed my life.”

I jumped off of the examination table and hugged Dr. Shoemaker.  He tensed up, jumped back, and clearly his hippocampus sounded some sort of “alert” to his entire body.  Stiff as a statue he managed to mutter, “what are you doing?”

“Hugging you.”

“Why?”

“Because you told me I don’t have Parkinsons.  I have mold toxicity.”

He relaxed and the whole thing suddenly made sense. My instincts, the voice inside my head, the hard resistance my mind put up to everyone who wanted to medicate me, and the insane journey that  led me to Pocomoke City, Maryland (if you  need directions, you fly to Baltimore, rent a car, drive to the middle of nowhere, and keep going).

That moment, that “different” diagnosis, that “you don’t have this you have that” experience was the most pivotal life-altering alternate-universe jumping shift of my entire life.

The reason the wo...

Happy and Merry FAT LOSS!

‘Twas the Day After Christmas

And Everyone’s Fun

Turned into Big Bellies

And Jiggly Buns.

“Don’t Fear,” said the doctors

“Even if you’re a ton

We’ll write you a script

For a GLP1!”

“Ozempic, Mounjaro, and the powers that be

Will knock off the pounds and reduce A1C”

“You don’t have to exercise, don’t even diet,

We’ll write your prescription, you run out and buy it!”

“BUT WAIT!”  Someone screamed,with an audible boom.

“Shouldn’t we join in to Phil Kaplan’s Zoom?

Before we fall victim to the latest drug fad

We want to know truth if the new drugs are bad

And while we’re caught up in this “spin” that’s been spu 

Shouldn’t we ask, “What is GLP1?” 

As Santa looked up from completing his season

He knew who was screaming, it was the old voice of reason,

He looked at his belly and glanced at his wife,

“Mrs. Claus, let’s get fitter, let’s better our life”

The missus just smiled and stripped off her sweat suit,

Key Point:

METABOLISM IS EVERYTHING

I devote a fair amount of time, in working with clients and students, discussing metabolism.

There’s a good reason for that.

Metabolism is everything. 

At least when it comes to energy, health, function, and performance.

And that's pretty much everything.

If you seek fat loss, energy restoration, or movement away from chronic disease, restoring Metabolic Power is the answer.

At the risk of over-defining the concept, I’ll share one quick summation.

YOUR METABOLISM

Your metabolism consists of thousands of proteins and molecular components interacting to convert the nutrients you consume into matter and fuel, into living tissue and energy.  It’s the vital process that allows you, as you sustain life, to build muscle, bone, and cellular structures all interacting to allow you, as a unique being, to move, grow, recover, and heal.

At a purely biochemical level of energy-prod...

I can fill this article with statistics about how sick and fat people are. 

I can demonstrate with research and evidence from the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control how over only 5 decades (a mere blink of an eye when considering how long mankind has lived in civilized societies) obesity and obesity-related diseases have escalated from 5% or less of our population to near 70% of American adults.

Nah.  Not statistics.  That’s not the way to go here. 

A statistical revelation may create a momentary “really?” but for the most part, statistics rarely result in action and the impact wears off as soon as the next distraction shows its shiny veneer.

I can try sharing the most obvious illustrations of the fattening of our population ...
