151. How My Client Lost 50 Pounds And Won Against Back Pain with Matt Selph

The Kris Gethin Podcast

It’s never too late to get in shape and reap the health benefits of physical fitness.

In fact, increasing physical activity later in life results in the same risk reduction of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and all-cause mortality as being active from adolescence through adulthood, the study’s researchers said.

So, while getting fit after 40 is about easing into specific exercises tailored for success, it’s also about understanding your underlying motivation for doing so.

The success factor is an ability to connect the dots between one’s diet and exercise routines and their ambitions in life.

At 40, Matt Selph decided to embark on a journey of weight loss, muscle gain, and beating back the chronic back pain that had plagued him since childhood.

When he was a teenager, he was diagnosed with a lower spine deformity, which caused him to stop being active and playing football.

He managed his pain with painkillers, but by the time he was in his 30s, he realized that it wasn't a long-term solution for him. By the time he married, he had put on a lot of weight.

He has a sedentary job, which means he spends the majority of his time in the office sitting at his desk for around 9 hours a day. His weight went up to 217 pounds, and his back pain returned intensely. He realized that this wasn't helping.

Matt's life was turned upside down when he witnessed his mother suffer from osteoporosis as a result of her advanced age. He was well aware that he needed to take charge of his life and his health in order to avoid ending up in the same situation.

He then began working with me and received one-on-one instruction from me for the next several months.

Assuming he would be hindered by his back condition, he was cautious. Resistance training, on the other hand, miraculously eliminated the long-term backache he had been experiencing in just 2 weeks!

By concentrating on his correct food and nutrition, as well as his regular fitness routine, Matt shed an astonishing 50 pounds in just 72 weeks of program participation.

At 194 pounds and with more muscles than ever, Matt looks and feels great while still being able to think clearly because he spends time outside and hiking with his family, among other things.

Check out this episode with Matt Selph as he shares his incredible journey of how losing weight and getting fit can help you overcome chronic back pain even if you're already in your 40s, allowing you to be free of all anxiety about getting old age-related diseases.
