Be sure to schedule a consult with Dr. Rand at TTHormones.comLearn more about True Transformation at 3MFatLoss.comDr. Rand McClain has always been passionate about nutrition and wellness, and he's taken an unconventional path to become a leading expert in alternative and progressive medical treatments. He's accomplished a lot in his life, from being the youngest senior account manager at Deloitte to pursuing a career as a professional boxer in Argentina. Despite being told that he couldn't do it, he went back to school at age 37 and became a doctor. Dr. Rand doesn't believe in following the "status quo," and that's what sets him apart. He's known for his innovative treatments, like bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and cryotherapy. His patients include A-list celebrities and world-class athletes who seek out his expertise at his practice, Regenerative and Sports Medicine. Dr. Rand has spent the last 35 years redefining what it means to be in optimal health, and he earned his medical degree at Western University and completed his internship at the University of Southern California’s Keck School of Medicine Residency Program. He's worked with some of the best and original innovators in Sports, Rejuvenative, Regenerative ("Anti-Aging"), Cosmetic, and Family Medicine.In his brand new book Cheating Death, he takes a fresh approach to genetics, natural aging, and proactive medical treatments. Dr. McClain founded the Regenerative and Sports Medicine Clinic in Santa Monica, where he specializes in alternative and cutting-edge treatments. He shares the best drugs and supplements, treatment methods, and devices that are backed by extensive research and his own work with patients. This includes little-known treatments that can reverse the effects of injuries, diagnostic and screening technologies that detect early onset disease, breakthrough methods to slow down or reverse aging, and steps to enhance gene expression and sidestep poor family genetics.Dr. McClain shows readers how to access these therapies and jumpstart the body's regenerative processes, leading to improvements in mood swings, depression, anxiety, hormone balance, sexual function, muscle strength, stamina, pain relief, and a more youthful appearance. Traditional medicine saves lives, but it has limitations. Doctors and institutions often don't explore promising options outside of their expertise or dismiss non-Western medicines, plant-based therapies, and new technologies. Many can't keep up with research around health innovations. Researchers around the globe are taking the first steps toward a revolution in healthcare, but treatments have been limited to a select few with access to them.Cheating Death, bolstered with research and recovery stories from real people, gives readers the tools to live healthier, longer lives.

How to Get to 10% Body Fat The busy family man's guide to ripped abs1. Take an assessment of your starting point.  Have you been eating whatever with zero systems in place?What does your schedule look like the next 3-6 months?Getting really lean will require stretches of time where you're very consistent.We want to account for work trips, vacations and getaways ahead of time.That way we can push when life is "normal" and then back off during crazy times.You'll also want to start getting your eating on a consistent schedule.Start with having meal times that you stick with during the day.My busy professional clients usually eat lunch, dinner and a pre-bed smaller meal.2. Give yourself longer than you think to drop fat.If you need to lose 20 pounds give yourself 16-20 weeks.The weight can come off faster for sure, but you're probably underestimating how much fat you need to lose.Worst case you reach your goal sooner than you think.3. Track your strength religiouslyStick to the same training plan for 12 weeks and track your reps / weight lifted.The last thing you want to do is strip away muscle tissue.You don't need tons of volume here.  Just enough to hold onto muscle and gain some strength4. Find your current baseline of weekly activity.  In other words, track your steps for a week.Find your average and start increasing it by 10% week over week.5. Business lunches, dinners out and date nights are all fine.It just might mean that you need to be more strict during normal meal times.Or you simply need to order the proper foods and amounts when eating out.A safe bet is surf and turf with veggies.6. Manage your hunger and energy appropriately.A few things here:-Fasting-High protein-Refeed days when needed (every 7-14 days)-Better sleep-Water-Moderate to low intensity walking Need a custom plan to get full control over your health and fitness?

Intimidated by the Gym?

In today's episode we are covering the 2nd half of the top 20 rules for fat loss:11. You can eat sugar on a fat loss diet - but I recommend keeping sugar very low for health, appetite control and overall happiness.12. Track your steps - activity outside the gym is a massive way to improve fat loss.13. Intermittent Fasting isn’t a magical pill, but it sure as hell can help with sticking to your plan.14. A big ass salad in the middle of the day, a smoothie for breakfast, and lots of water can make things super simple.15. Supplements are there to fill in the cracks of your plan, but they are not the foundation.16. Sleep isn’t optional if you want to get in great shape. 7-8 hours per night is my standard recommendation for most people. Some need slightly less but some people need even more.17. Getting ripped can make you more money because your mental clarity and energy will skyrocket18. If you don’t enjoy your plan, or at least find parts of it to enjoy, you’re not going to see the results you want. You’ll end up trying something else.19. Understand one thing. Your body is your responsibility. Stop blaming your circumstances on anything or anyone else. This is 100% on YOU.20. Remember, this isn’t just about looking good. It’s about not dying 30 years too young and living your best life while you're here. That is the ultimate result.Learn more about our True Transformation System HereGrab our Barely Legal Crack Recipe Guide - Free for a limited time.Join our private group "The Sustainable Fat Loss Group" on Facebook here.

The Top 20 Rules for Fat Loss (Part 2)

In today's episode we cover 10 of the top 20 rules for fat loss.1. The pain of remaining the same must be greater than the pain of change. Being fat must suck worse than controlling your food intake and working out. Plain and simple.2. The love you have for the people in your life should push you to get better and healthier. You can't be your best if you're overweight.3. Your plan should fit into your lifestyle - you shouldn't try and fit your lifestyle around fitness. I'm not skipping the zoo on Sunday to get a sick pump at the gym. I'm also not missing date nights with my wife to do cardio (cardio comes after date night  )4. Losing fat starts with energy balance. Your food intake must be less than what you burn each day.5. Being miserable with how you look and feel takes away from your legacy AKA how people are impacted by you each day.6. You don't need to do cardio to get in phenomenal shape - however I recommend that you do for health and mental benefits.7. Protein, veggies, fruits and healthy sources of fuel (healthy fats and carbs) should make up 90% of your nutrition plan8. Resistance training (bodyweight, weights, bands, etc) should make up the foundation of your workout plan.9. A mediocre plan done consistently will trump a perfect plan done inconsistently - lesson here is to stick to the plan - consistency wins.10. Losing fat comes in waves. You'll see massive progress some weeks and zero others.Join our private group "The Sustainable Fat Loss Group" on Facebook here.
