You Don’t Need “Optimal.” You Need Results.

• Why traditional training methods still work

• How to build a system that fits your busy, productive lifestyle—and gets real results

Hey, it’s Skip La Cour here, and welcome to today’s podcast episode. In this episode, I’m talking directly to you if you’re a little older – maybe in your late 40s, 50s – and you’re ready to finally make fitness a part of your life. I know how overwhelming it can feel to start this journey, especially when there’s so much conflicting information out there.

Today, I’m going to break it down for you in a way that’s real, honest, and sustainable. We’re going to talk about why your eating habits – not the fancy workouts – are the real foundation of your health and fitness journey. I’ll share why controlling the amount of food you eat matters way more than the perfect exercise routine, and how you can set yourself up for long-term success without getting bogged down by complicated routines or crazy workout splits.

I’ll also explain why you need to start by building a mindset shift – committing to just 30 minutes a day, five days a week – even if that’s just a brisk walk. That’s what’s going to give you momentum and make this a lasting part of your lifestyle.

I’m sharing all of this because I’ve been there, and I’ve helped thousands of men just like you – men who are successful, busy, and ready to put in the work, but need the right direction to make sure it actually sticks.

If you’re ready to stop feeling overwhelmed and finally get started the right way, I’d love to help you personally. Send me a picture and fill out my questionnaire – you can text me directly at 925-352-4366, email me at skip@skiplacour.com, or reach out to me on any of my social media platforms. Let’s have a conversation to see if my one-on-one coaching is a fit for you. I’m here to guide you through the confusion and get you on the right track – once and for all.

In this episode, I’ll explain the surprising truth about fat loss for older men: why eating more—not less—is the real secret to getting leaner, feeling better, and breaking past those frustrating plateaus. I’ll walk you through exactly how this journey works, why so many men get stuck, and how to finally build the body you’ve always wanted.

I’ll also tell you how to reach out to me—text me at 925-352-4366, email me at skip@skiplacour.com, or DM me on social—to see if a 12-week journey together is the right fit or if I can just help answer your questions. Let’s get started!

In this special episode, we dive deep into a powerful one-on-one coaching session between Skip La Cour and a 53-year-old man named Robert. Robert is 5’10”, 208 pounds, and wants to drop down to his ideal weight of 180—while also building muscle. Like many men in their 50s, he’s confused by all the conflicting advice online and unsure whether he should be lifting weights, doing more cardio, or cutting back to lose fat. Sound familiar?

What Robert didn’t expect was that his $147 investment in Skip’s "The Biggest Fitness Challenges Older Men Face—And the Solutions" program would unlock clarity he’s been searching for for years. This program includes videos, audios, workouts, eating strategies, supplement guidance, and mindset systems—all tailored specifically for older men with busy, productive lives. And most importantly? It comes with a private, personal coaching session with Skip himself. Not a junior coach. Not a chatbot. Skip La Cour—36 years of experience, right in your ear.

Two podcast hosts break down the most valuable lessons from this coaching session in real time:

✅ The exact moment Robert realized he doesn’t have to stop weight training to lose fat.
✅ The mindset shift that helped him understand how to build muscle and lose fat at the same time.
✅ How Skip quickly cuts through decades of misinformation and sets a clear path forward.
✅ Why this one-on-one coaching call alone was worth 10x the $147 price tag.
✅ How real structure, strategy, and seasoned guidance can save older men years of wasted effort.

You’ll also hear Skip’s trademark coaching style in action—clear, direct, supportive, and 100% committed to helping men stop spinning their wheels and finally take control of their health and fitness.

In this powerful podcast episode, we take a deep dive into It's a Matter of Trust: Confessions of a Recovering Bodybuilder by Skip La Cour. More than just a story of muscle and discipline, this book peels back the layers of a man who reached the pinnacle of bodybuilding success—only to discover that the real work had just begun. We explore La Cour’s honest reflections on obsession, emotional isolation, inner emptiness behind outer achievements, and the myth that discipline in one domain guarantees fulfillment in others. Through vulnerability, he shares how he turned his pain into purpose, his obsession into legacy, and his coaching into a mission to help other men "come home to themselves." This is a must-listen for anyone who has ever questioned if their version of success is truly aligned with who they are.

The Wake-Up Call

"If you don’t choose your addiction, it will choose you."
Skip La Cour didn’t write another fitness guide. He wrote a memoir forged in pain, obsession, transformation—and love. From bodybuilding to fatherhood, he lays out the real path to greatness… and the cost. Every man needs to hear this story.
