  • #214 - Men vs Women: Nutrition & Training
    Apr 27 2026

    Most advice for women online is some version of "cycle sync your macros & training". But, what do men and women really need to do differently to reach their goals? Here's what I've actually seen work with 400+ clients (mostly women) over the last 6 years: most of that advice is noise. Especially if you're on birth control.

    In this episode I break down the real differences (and the surprising similarities) between men and women when it comes to nutrition and training. No influencer hacks, seed cycling, or cycle syncing. Just what I actually do with my clients.

    You'll learn:

    • Why cycle syncing mostly goes out the window if you're on birth control, and what to focus on instead
    • The universal habits that drive results for both men and women, and the parts that actually need to be individualized
    • How I use symptoms like energy, hunger and mood to dial in a plan, instead of defaulting to generic advice
    • Why "find what works for you" is the wrong framing, and what to do instead
    • And a lot more.


    If you want to stop guessing and start building what actually works for you as an individual, and you're curious how 1:1 coaching and the OCS Process can help you get there, DM "COACH" to @johanvesters_ocs on Instagram for a free Discovery Call.

  • #213 - Gut Dysbiosis - When Your Microbiome Is Out of Balance
    Apr 20 2026

    Feeling bloated, foggy, skin breaking out, or reacting to foods you used to tolerate? Your gut bacteria might be out of balance. What if the issue isn’t just what you’re eating, but who’s living inside you?

    In this episode of Talking Nutrition, Johan breaks down gut dysbiosis - what happens when your microbiome turns chaotic, why it matters for your digestion, mood, skin, and cravings, and how to actually restore balance without falling for probiotic hype or endless supplement stacks.

    Gut health isn’t about killing off “bad bugs” or popping random probiotics. It’s about restoring your internal ecosystem, one simple step at a time.


    You’ll learn:

    • Why gut dysbiosis isn’t just “bad bacteria” but a loss of balance and diversity
    • The real-life symptoms that show up when your gut ecosystem is off (think bloating, skin issues, brain fog, food sensitivities)
    • The 5R Framework for reversing dysbiosis step by step — so you stop guessing and start healing
    • And much more

  • #212 - Why Under-Eating Is a Problem (Even If Fat Loss Is the Goal)
    Apr 13 2026

    Ever feel like you’re barely eating, but the scale won’t budge - or worse, you’re losing energy, muscle, and your sanity? If you’ve tried slashing calories, skipping meals, or living on salads and protein shakes, it’s time for a better approach...

    In this episode, Johan breaks down why under-eating is actually holding you back from fat loss, not speeding it up. You’ll learn the two most common ways women get stuck in the low-calorie trap, what really happens to your metabolism, and how to finally make progress without feeling miserable.

    You’ll learn:

    • Why living on low calories backfires: slower metabolism, hormone issues, muscle loss, and more
    • The real reason “eating less” leads to cravings, binges, and the endless Monday restart
    • How eating more (the right way) actually helps you lose fat and keep it off
    • And much more

    Want to learn more about coaching 1:1 and learn how the OCS Process can help you too, finally reach your long-term goals? DM "COACH" to @johanvesters_ocs on Instagram now for a free Strategy Call!
