Last episode, I mentioned how I’m the happiest I’ve been in recent memory. In this episode, I’m revealing why… When most guys want to become happier, their first instinct is to improve their fitness, their finances, or level up in their career. I’ve fallen into this trap myself. But these 3 things don’t make you nearly as happy as focusing on another aspect many guys tend to overlook: Your relationships! In fact, according to Jonathan Haidt, social psychologist and author of Happiness Hypothesis...

Your New Year’s resolution probably sucks. And mine have, too. Think about it: Are you even still doing your New Year’s resolution from this year? What about the New Year’s resolution you made in 2016? Anybody? Anybody at all? Buehler??? But it’s not your fault your New Year’s resolutions failed. Not for the reasons you think, at least. Here’s what I mean: When you set up a goal based purely on motivation and willpower, you set yourself up for failure. Why? Motivation and willpower are fickle. T...

Over the course of a year, you pick up a lot of new tweaks, lessons, and tricks which can increase your enjoyment for life. But the problem is, most of these lessons don’t build into habits, and you don’t get as much benefit out of them as you otherwise could. Only by practicing these lessons consciously will you be able to adapt them into your lifestyle and reap the rewards. And that’s one area where I’ve put a special focus on this year. In this episode, I reveal my 5 most important lessons th...

Most people who take their health and fitness seriously fall into a major trap which wipes out all the benefits of better health: They add too much to their plate. Each additional thing they add to their plate decreases their mental, physical, and emotional health. But most importantly, it causes them to lose sight of who they are. For example, in addition to yoga, they also lift weights, do daily cold plunges, fast, buy a new puppy, take on a new client, and try to maximize every single second ...

Stress is one of the few certainties of life, alongside death and taxes. And while “good stress” is one of the most effective ways to grow, “bad stress” plays a hand in almost every disease, illness, and injury you get. But don’t worry—there are simple activities you can do on a daily and weekly basis to curtail stress from consuming your mental (and physical) health. In fact, I have 12 favorite stress-relieving activities that don’t take a ton of time, but provide an immense sense of relief to ...

The holiday season can sabotage your exercise routine, especially if you’re traveling to meet up with family. Too often, people use the holidays as an excuse to skip their workouts — but this can have a devastating effect on your routines long after the holidays end. That’s why it’s crucial to do some sort of exercise while you’re traveling for the holiday season. Not only will it make exercising easier when you return home, but it’s also an opportunity to bond with your family in a different wa...

Your body goes through massive changes as you age—especially as a man: You can’t build muscle as easily. Your libido starts declining. Your body magnetizes more and more fat. And when one aspect of your health goes—whether physical, mental, emotional, or sexual—it trickles down to every other facet of your health. But here’s the silver lining: The opposite is true. Fixing one aspect of your health bleeds into every other area of your life. And you know what? It starts by doing simple things toda...

Too many people who struggle to eat healthy make a couple of fatal mistakes: They either overcomplicate eating healthy. Or they think of their eating habits as a “diet.” And many people commit both mistakes. Here’s the truth: Eating healthy isn’t as hard as you think. In fact, burgers, tacos, and pasta are staples in my recipe book (even though most health “experts” will say they’re unhealthy). And you know what else? You don’t need to meal prep every meal, count every calorie, or cut every guil...

After hitting 30, your testosterone levels drop by about 1% per year. This is a natural, but not optimal, process. But there’s a bigger problem when it comes to testosterone: Even young 20-year-olds have devastatingly low testosterone levels! Low testosterone tanks your energy levels, your confidence, and even your work ethic. It also makes it harder to burn fat and build muscle. And low testosterone even has adverse effects on your mental health. So, what’s causing this low testosterone epidemi...

Nobody likes getting injured. They wreck your routine, undermine your mental health, and stop your progress towards your fitness goals. But they’re a natural part of working out. And when you understand why injuries happen, they can actually be an opportunity for growth. For example: When I was 11, I had a recurring patellar subluxation in my knee that lasted until long after I graduated from college. Surgery at 16 didn’t help. Wearing a knee brace throughout my collegiate lacrosse career didn’t...

If you’ve ever tried to lose weight, you know how difficult it can be. And you know what? Sustaining your weight loss after achieving your goals is even more difficult. Why? Because there are a lot of misconceptions men have about weight loss that makes this process harder. Too often, men fall into the insidious “all or nothing thinking” trap which constantly keeps their goals out of reach. Or men will rely on their willpower alone, only to run out of motivation and regain any weight they lost. ...

The first yoga workout I ever did was life-changing. Realizing I wasn’t nearly as strong as I thought, lacking flexibility, balance, and body & breath control, I was motivated to make yoga a permanent part of my fitness from that day on. But as I attended different yoga studios and instructors, I realized that something was missing. I wasn’t getting the emphasis on technique that I wanted from the workouts. I didn’t know where I should feel the pose, which muscles to target, or what I should...

Many men stumble into yoga after a debilitating injury prevents them from training. This is how both Benjamin Sears and I discovered yoga. But even though this may be the cause of starting yoga, the reason you stay could be completely different. Some men use it as a way to enhance their strength training and prevent injuries. Others use it to develop more flexibility and keep joint pain at bay. And some men find the tough workouts give them a way to develop radical self-awareness and self-accept...

I started the BMP because I saw a gap in the way that men talk about their overall health and well-being, and … When life throws you curveballs, it’s easy to set your workout regimen and habits aside. Then wonder why you don’t feel as great as you normally would. You’re not immune to life’s curveballs, and neither am I. I’ll be honest - I’ve had a rough couple of months. Traveling more than usual led to getting COVID — while I’m in the middle of moving. I hadn’t had a normal workout in weeks, wh...

It’s nearly impossible to be on social media without seeing someone upload a picture of their “perfect” life. Flashy cars, big houses, and always looking like you’re having a great time. But true happiness doesn’t come from doing things to satisfy external motivations. For Jesse O’Brien, today’s guest on the show, so much of his happiness comes from being better than you were yesterday. He learned this throughout his life of growing as an entrepreneur, fitness coach, and husband and dad. Jesse f...

This episode with Alex Holmes discusses how us men can be healthier both mentally and emotionally by understanding the patterns that we engage in as men trying to live up to a certain image of how men are supposed to be in our society. Men aren’t encouraged to talk about their emotions and vulnerabilities. They’re encouraged to bury them deep inside and “man up.” That mindset could lead to isolation, loneliness, emotional disconnection from loved ones, and all sorts of other problems down the ro...

Today’s guest, Chase Chewning, is an army veteran, fitness entrepreneur, and podcaster who overcame that fear that so many of us men have: to open up and share their vulnerabilities.

On top of that, he suffered from PTSD after ending his deployment. Those experiences took a severe toll on hi...

For most of my adult life, I’ve been doing yoga. However, at one point, I decided to up my fitness game. Sure, I was pretty lean.

Jesse has always pushed his limits as an athlete and taught me how to push mine. Jesse is a self-proclaimed guinea pig that uses his body as a proving ground.
