The Dr. Joey Munoz Show

• The REAL reason you keep regaining weight (and how to fix it!)

  Are you meticulously counting calories and spending hours at the gym, but still find the scale creeping back up? You're not alone. While losing weight might seem straightforward, maintaining it is where the real challenge lies. It's not about a lack of effort. The issue often lies with the unsustainable quick fixes and crash diets that promise quick results but fail in the long term. In this episode, we delve into the underlying issues that sabotage lasting weight loss and how to overcome them. We'll explore why rapid diets and temporary solutions complicate sustained weight loss, explain how a rapid decrease in muscle mass can slow your metabolism and prompt weight gain, discuss vital mindset adjustments needed to shift from short-term loss to long-term health, and highlight the importance of accountability and routine in keeping the weight off. Tune in to transform your approach to weight management and achieve lasting results.

• The Science of Sleep: Its Critical Role in Fat Loss & Muscle Growth

  Think diet and exercise are the key to fat loss and muscle growth? Think again. Most people don’t realize that poor sleep could be the reason they’re struggling to see results. Bad sleep slows fat loss, increases muscle loss, spikes cravings, and wrecks recovery. In this episode, I break down exactly why sleep is just as important as diet and training, how it affects your metabolism and hunger, and the science-backed strategies to improve it for better results. If you’re training hard and eating well but still not progressing, your sleep might be missing. Listen now to find out why.

• Joelle Cavagnaro: Why Diets Fail, Sustainable Nutrition & The Power of Muscle

  What if everything you thought about dieting was actually working against you? In this week's episode, I sit down with Joelle Cavagnaro, an expert in exercise science and founder of Levelution Coaching, to talk about the mental and physical traps that keep people stuck in the cycle of extreme dieting and frustration. We dive into the dangers of restrictive diets, why they backfire long-term, and how to actually create a sustainable approach to health and fitness. Joelle also shares her personal journey—from gaining the freshman 30 to struggling with orthorexia and extreme dieting—and how she finally found balance. We discuss how to break free from food fears, the power of muscle for longevity, and why focusing on adding to your diet (instead of cutting things out) might be the missing piece to your success.

• Calorie Deficit Explained: The Only Way to Lose Fat (And How to Do It Right)

  In this week's podcast episode, I break down the science of fat loss—not just the importance of a calorie deficit, but how your body actually processes and burns energy.  We dive into what calories really are, how your body converts food into energy, and why understanding energy balance is crucial for sustainable weight loss.  I also tackle common fat loss misconceptions, like whether hormones override calories, why eating "clean" doesn’t guarantee weight loss, and why some people think they’re in a deficit but aren’t seeing results.  Plus, I give you a step-by-step guide to setting up your calories and macros, tracking progress effectively, and adjusting when needed—so you can lose fat without extreme diets or frustration.  If you’ve ever been confused about fat loss or struggled to see results, this episode will give you the clarity you need.
