Unlocking Your Inner Strength

In this Q and A session, I field questions from members of my gym, Newell Strength on the topics of:   -Fasting -Protein consumption -Female hormones and fasting -High cholesterol   And more!  You're going to want to tune in to also hear what I have to say about GLP-1's, putting on muscle and some brain science about forming habits!   Be Unconventional,   Kyle Newell aka Panda Man   P.S. - If you...

In this episode, I am sharing with you a private workshop I recently taught for members at my gym, Newell Strength, participating in a 6-Week Transformation Challenge.   I felt compelled to cover 'regular nutrition and dieting' for those that aren't ready to fast, but I didn't hold back in what I think about them.   Here are some of the highlights of the workshop that you will no doubt, find inter...

So many men deceive themselves by continually telling themselves that tomorrow they will become the best version of themselves.     Why not today?   Why not now?   Modern life has a way of trapping men once they become comfortable.     But when you meet the best version of yourself that you could've been when you are on your death bed, what would he tell you?   How will that feel knowing that you...

As one of the world's top experts on fasting, I field a lot of questions every day on the topic of fasting.     In this video, I answer the top five most common questions when starting out, which are:   What can I consume during the fasting window?   What are the best/most popular fasting schedules for beginners? (my answer may shock you!)   Does fasting cause muscle loss?   What breaks a fast?  ...

I believe it's essential to understand the stress response of the body if you want to become fully healthy and possess and high level of vitality.      The body was never meant to stay stuck in the on switch when it comes to stress.     Visceral fat?   It's a direct response to chronic stress to protect your organs from the perceived threat.     Chronic back pain or any other chronic symptom of th...

I've got news for you.   If you've had chronic back pain over the years and may even have had injections, surgeries and more, yet the pain still persists, it's not because you have a degenerative back, it's because you were led to believe that your pain and symptoms were caused by a structural or physical nature.     Stay with me, because I know from helping a lot of clients throughout the years t...

Society needs more strong dads.  Dads have been depicted and programmed into our minds as goofy, dufus-like characters in many of history's top sitcoms; think of Homer Simpson and Al Bundy.  Ironically, I believe that becoming a strong dad starts with developing a deeper understanding of the feminine energy.  I cover a lot in this episode, including: -Training, reflection, providing direction, gro...

I have been Coaching men for over 20 years, and one topic that always comes up is testosterone replacement therapy, otherwise known as TRT.     And, on a recent post I made that showed how lean I have gotten for the summer, there were many trolls that said it was all because of TRT usage.     I have never denied my love and usage of testosterone, but it made me think that it was timely to give you...

I have long been a practitioner of visualization and a student of manifestation.   Are these not really just forms of faith?  The Bible speaks about it so often, yet people miss it.   In today's episode, I share with you some of my recent thoughts on the topic, including: non-resistance, What before How and the BIG one, quieting the mind.   I have come to the realization that without a quiet mind...

This week I turned 45 and to bring in this big year, I planned a psylocibin trip and what a trip it was! A key concept that really struck home during my trip was that faith and fear cannot co-exist.  It's simply impossible.   How much fear are you operating from and with?  You can either be in a primal or a powerful state.  Primal is survival and makes you feel bad.   Powerful is thriving and make...

People often ask me if I really believe in Bigfoot as if they think I am just doing it for like, comments and clickbait.   Hell yes I believe in Bigfoot!   My curious mind and open mind has led me to some big breakthroughs within the field of fitness, even though most think that conspiracy theories have nothing to do with fitness and fasting.   Everything is connected.  Once you realize that we've...

If you were once an athlete, then this episode is for you.   If you have the desire to be the most in shape dad that you know, then this is how you start.   Too many men work the extremes when it comes to their health and fitness.  Either they do nothing because they don't have time and don't know what to do, or they go balls to the wall, burn out, then repeat, with little to show for their effort...

In this episode, I share the mental construct and fraemwork that you need to have to succeed in the fat loss war.   It all begins with making a true decision.  Once that is made, you need to have clarity.   When clarity is present, you will take the right actions.  There's a big difference between taking the right actions and the wrong actions.   If you can pick up on what I am laying down in this...

This past weekend, I stopped to witness an inspiring action taken by a lady.   She was at the front steps of my gym, Newell Strength.   She proceeded to hit a calisthenics workout, all on her own, with modified pushups and squats.   I don't believe she had an appointment, because the gym was closed at the time.   And to be honest, I was not in the talkative type of mood, so I didn't stop to say he...

I had a rude awakening this past week and it was a great thing!   As I found myself trying to apply old ways and old patterns to my current knee rehab, I got smacked down in more ways than one.   There are lessons I am supposed to learn from this experience and I continued on the old path with my old ways, I would fail to reap the benefits of those lessons.   In this episode, I share my experience...

Tough stuff is going to happen to us in life.   I have believed forever that no matter if we had any hand in the event, we can always be in control because we can always control our attitude.   I just had my third knee surgery, while also knowing that I will have another, more extensive fourth surgery in 4-5 months.   It's a blessing because I believe it's a blessing.   In this episode, I go over...

We are right around the corner from Father's Day here in the States.     Which means that it's time to pause and reflect.   Others will celebrate us, if we are lucky, but for me, it's time to reflect and evaluate my 'DAD STACK'.     In this episode, I go over the components that make up the DAD STACK, including your: ability to create wealth, your faith, marriage, fitness/ability to protect, learn...

Four and a half years ago, I tried Kratom leaf extract.     I then progressed to using the 7-OH extract for a performance boost in my training.   From there, the issue spiraled out of control.     I know there are many of you out there struggling with this poison right now, but don't lose hope.     I was hesitant to make this episode because of what I do for a living but this is one of the reasons...

6 years ago today, I made a decision to open Newell Strength, despite the strict government orders.   It was a moment in time where Devon and I knew that we had to live by our principles and values, no matter the cost.  In case you forgot, nearly everyone was following the orders and if you went against the narrative, people were going to judge you, threaten you and more.   Luckily, I've never bee...

In this episode of "Unlocking Your Inner Strength," Kyle celebrated the 15-year anniversary of Neural Strength, reflecting on his journey from starting the business in 2007 while teaching to opening his first gym in 2011. Kyle shared how he began by training clients out of his car and later in his parents' basement before eventually opening his own facility focused on athletes and men. He discusse...

Last night, after dinner, I was having a conversation with Braxton about the mind.   For a ten year old, he is amazing in my eyes because he is so interested in learning about concepts like mindset and theater of the mind.   Anyways, I told him that the mind works much the same as the belt system in martial arts.  We all start out as white belts and then it's up to us, as individuals, to advance u...

Vacation is always timely.   We came down here to Pine Island, Florida and I had a million and one things on my list to do.  I didn't have time! But it's exactly what I needed.   In this episode, I share some thoughts and insights as I go with the flow and follow Mother Nature to the peak time of the year in many ways.  I think you'll find something useful in here and connect with something, let m...

On Saturday, I competed in my first ever strong man competition.   It was a great experience and I was able to place 3rd out of 10 heavyweights.   I exceeded my own expectations and I am joyful and proud of what I accomplished, which is normally something I don't think about.   It was timely for the stage of life I am at and my performance was a testament to how I live on a daily basis.   In today...

Last week, I had my knee drained and shot up with cortizone, which I am normally against because most people rely on it.   I did it to help me get to my Strongman Contest which is less than a month away.   I had injured it during my second training session, which was really hampering my training and everday activity.  Make no mistake, I didn't stop, because one of my primary healing philosophies i...

26 years ago, I began experimenting with cheat days.    I was getting good results with them, however, when I brought them to the head of the nutrition department at the University of Delaware, he had no clue what I was talking about.   He dismissed the concept altogether.    However, I knew they worked because I was using them, but I was yearning to know more about how they worked.   That is when...
