Ep 263 - Hall Of Fame | Dr Tapan Patel: How To Fix Your Body Without Star Studded Genetics

On this episode of RNT Fitness Radio, I’m pleased to be joined by Dr Tapan Patel, who’s been on an incredible journey with us over the past few years. It all starts when Tapan suffered with extremely rough symptoms of covid-19 very early on, before any of the lockdowns. After recovering, he proceeded to “celebrate” by gaining about 10-15kg in the space of two months, until his trigger moment, when he ran out of any clothes that fit him!    Having tried in-person personal trainers for many years, as well as trying to achieve the body he’d always wanted for over 25 years, he decided enough was enough, and he wanted a blueprint that worked for busy, time-strapped high performers like himself, who didn’t have star studded genetics. That’s when he came across RNT, and after being skeptical about working with an online company, he later says in this episode, it was the single best investment of his life, just as he turns 50 years young this year. You can also read Tapan’s case study in the show notes below.   Timestamps:    00:30 - What are your trigger moments that led you into joining RNT?  04:38 - At what point did you say that enough is enough? 07:23 - What was it like, your experience with Covid?  13:14 - What didn’t work when you had a personal trainer?  17:10 - How are you balancing nutrition and training as a busy entrepreneur and a high performer?  22:25 - As things go back to normal, bars open up, how do you keep track of your  27:16 - Travel tips 34:10 - How did you battle snacking and picking up a glass of alcohol after your photoshoot?  40:05 - Running 4 miles every 4 hours for 48 hours 45:33 - What really works for you long term after a photoshoot?  48:49 - What’s the biggest lifestyle solution you've learned since your photoshoot? 53:20 - What are the key pieces of advice you would give to someone who is just starting their journey?  57:05 - How’s the physical being the vehicle for you?    Thanks so much for listening!
