[Most Popular Re-Release!] Coming full circle in our body typing series, we finally come to the Endomorph body type!

An Endomorph is naturally more broad and thick than the other body types, even at their absolute fittest. They excel at powerlifting and weightlifting in general, usually dominating the other body types at Olympic lifting competitions and even the Crossfit games. But the Endomorph has some metabolic challenges to overcome to be their healthiest and fittest self. 

On this episode, you're going to learn all about:

• Insulin response and carb tolerance,
• Why we end up with Ecto's and Meso's thinking they're an Endo instead, 
• Healthy vs. Unhealthy Endomorphs, 
• How to train and eat in order to "prime the fat-burning pump", 
• And why you might not need to know your exact body type to see real results. 

At the end of this episode, we'll be answering these questions from some listeners:

1. "What if I don't know what my type is, but I do have some goals...what should I do?" 
2. "Is somatotyping similar to blood typing for fat loss?" 
3. "Can I still see results and have success if I don't eat and train perfectly for my body type?"

[Most Popular Re-Release!] I remember being called "man arms" in high school. I had a square, boyish figure, and was naturally athletic. But it never felt feminine, and I spent a large portion of my life trying to train and eat my muscles away. Until I found out God designed me as a mesomorph. 

A Mesomorph is naturally muscular and compact. Think of soccer players, bodybuilders and sprinters. They pack on muscle easily, have a relatively easy time controlling body fat levels, have a medium to large bone structure and tend to be naturally strong. When they slim down, their muscles really “pop”.

On today's episode we'll talk about:

• Healthy vs. Unhealthy Meso's
• Why some meso's falsely assume they're an Endomorph
• The one nutrition component that can be manipulated to maximize a meso's body
• Training styles that meso's truly excel at
• The aspect of fitness that meso's should never neglect
• The ecto-meso hybrid and the endo-meso hybrid

My hope with uncovering and learning the different body types is that as you learn the specific ways that we’ve all been created uniquely, you’ll learn to love your own body more…for its strengths and specific abilities. And you can stop being at war with your own body!

[Most Popular Re-Release!] There's something in us that craves to be understood...to be known for what makes us different and unique. It's why we flock to personality and DNA testing. We delight in knowing that God created us with a specific design. 

In these next 3 episodes we'll be exploring the different "somatotypes" and learning more about how we all bear God's likeness in a unique and beautiful way. 

On today's episode, discover the Ectomorph Body Type. An Ectomorph is naturally slender with thin limbs. They excel at endurance sports, but often struggle to build muscle mass and feel truly strong. 

You're going to learn all about:

• healthy vs. unhealthy ectomorphs,
• ectomorph hybrids,
• and how to eat and train as an ectomorph to maximize your unique potential.
