Eric Edmeades argues that exercising while malnourished or toxic harms the body and that optimal health starts with proper hydration and nutrition. He claims that by improving nutrition and reducing toxins, people (across thousands of clients in 20+ countries) can see significant body changes within about three months and will naturally want to exercise afterwards. The core recommendation: massively improve nutrition and decrease junk/toxins before beginning or intensifying exercise to promote safety, longevity, and quality of life.

I really want you to hear me about this. The vast majority of the people that are out there exercising and doing more damage to their bodies than health. I want you to hear me now. Let's take a step back. I am not saying that exercise is bad. What I'm saying is that exercise while you are malnourished or exercise while you have toxicity in your system is a bad thing and it'll do far more damage than it will do good. What that means is that long before exercising or what you really want to work on is making sure that your body is properly hydrated and properly nourished. We have worked with thousands of people in over 20 countries around the world and here's what we found. In only three months, we can create massive change in their physical body. They can change not just simply losing weight, but they can change their shape, the shape of their face, the shape of their gut. They can lose all the persistent fat that they've been going to the gym to get rid of. And it's never helped. And the reason being is your body does not want to carry that weight. It doesn't want to think about it. It takes energy. It takes energy for your heart to pump oxygen out to that extra tissue. You have to carry it around. Your lymphatic system has to clean it. Your body doesn't want to carry that weight. And so what we want to do is make sure that you're so well nourished that your body knows that it's safe to release that weight, that it's safe to release that stored hydration and that stored energy. And then what's fascinating is by doing that, by boosting up your nutrition, you create a circumst where you will want to exercise, where you wouldn't have to push yourself to do it, where you'll truly want to do it. Think of it like this. If you are missing really important nutrients and no, I am not talking about using supplements to fix them. I'm talking about using rational nutrition. Eating solid, good food. If somebody is a little bit malnourished and then they go out and really push themselves physically, aren't they going to get injured? Aren't they going to strain the body too much? Yes, please. Before exercising, massively improve your nutrition. Increase the healthy nutrition that comes into your body and decrease the toxicity and junk that goes in your body and then, then jump into exercise. That's how you will create optimal health, longevity and quality of life. Sam.
