The Plant Free MD with Dr Anthony Chaffee

Show Notes

In this episode we move on from nutrition and delve into the optimal exercise regime to build muscle and shred fat. We cover and critique the popular Mike Mentzer approach, and show why this may not be an ideal way to train for maximum results. If you missed Part 1 with Dr Jocic where we cover the nutrtion of the Golden Era bodybuilders such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, Serge Nubret, Vince Gironda, and more then make sure to go back and watch it now! Dr. Nash Jocic, PhD is a rare blend of scholar, athlete, and author whose life bridges the worlds of philosophy and muscle. With a doctorate in philosophy from the University of Lincoln, Dr. Jocic has published academic work on Nietzsche's aesthetics and ethics, exploring how ideas of beauty, meaning, and moral purpose intersect. Yet his intellectual credentials are only one facet of his identity. For over 30 years, Dr. Jocic has been deeply embedded in the world of fitness and bodybuilding. He's competed in numerous bodybuilding events, earning a reputation for transforming his own physique and coaching others to do the same. Through his company NashFit Personal Training, he's coached clients across London and beyond, blending scientific precision with decades of hands-on experience. As an author, Dr. Jocic has produced several books and guides aimed at practical transformation. Titles include Burn Fat Build Muscle and Weight Training for Men: The Ultimate Guide to Muscle Growth and Fat Loss. His writing brings together his philosophical rigour and training wisdom, offering readers grounded, research-informed strategies for body recomposition and long-term health. In this episode, we'll dive into how Dr. Jocic merges his philosophical mindset with decades of physical discipline, uncovering lessons not just about lifting and nutrition — but about identity, mindset, and sustainable transformation.

In this video I break down the relative nutritional profiles to see which ones you should be building your meal plan around, and which ones are best left on the shelf.
