THE PRIMER PHASE: THE MISSING PIECE TO SUSTAINABLE FAT LOSS & PHYSIQUE PROGRESS | EP. 166

Chasing Clarity: Health & Fitness Podcast - A podcast by Brandon DaCruz Jeff Black - Wednesdays

Before you jump into another Fat Loss Phase, you need to ask yourself one important question: Is your body actually ready to respond?


In today’s episode, I’m breaking down one of the most overlooked but essential phases I use with clients before we ever touch a calorie deficit, The Primer Phase.


This is the strategic “pre-fat loss” phase where we focus on rebuilding your body’s internal health, restoring biofeedback and laying the foundation for sustainable results that actually stick.


TOPICS COVERED IN THIS EPISODE:
⁃ WHY JUMPING STRAIGHT INTO A FAT LOSS PHASE OFTEN LEADS TO BURNOUT, PLATEAUS & REBOUNDS
⁃ THE TWO MOST COMMON CLIENT PROFILES I SEE: CHRONIC DIETERS & THE OVERFED YET UNDERNOURISHED
⁃ THE CONCEPT BEHIND “A HEALTHY BODY IS A RESPONSIVE BODY” & HOW IT UNDERPINS MY COACHING MODEL
⁃ WHAT A PRIMER PHASE IS & WHY I USE IT AS “THE DIET BEFORE THE DIET”
⁃ THE METABOLIC, HORMONAL & BEHAVIORAL DYSFUNCTIONS THAT MAKE FAT LOSS HARDER THAN IT SHOULD BE
⁃ WHY DIETING IS A STRESSOR & HOW THE PRIMER PHASE HELPS THE BODY BETTER ADAPT TO IT
⁃ WHO BENEFITS MOST FROM A PRIMER PHASE (7+ CLIENT TYPES EXPLAINED IN DETAIL)
⁃ THE TOP 8 GOALS I FOCUS ON DURING THE PRIMER PHASE
⁃ CLIENT CASE STUDY
⁃ WHY FAT LOSS NEEDS TO BE COAXED THROUGH PROPER PREPARATION, NOT FORCED THROUGH RESTRICTION
⁃ HOW THE PRIMER PHASE FITS INTO THE BIGGER PICTURE OF LONG-TERM PHYSIQUE TRANSFORMATION
