Today’s society does not make it easy to lead a healthy lifestyle. In a world designed for convenience and quick fixes, achieving and maintaining good health takes conscious effort, but it doesn’t have to be cumbersome. By making a few adjustments to our daily routine and behaviors, health is not only possible but attainable for everybody.

Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with personal trainer and co-founder of Mind Pump Media, Sal Di Stefano, to get his hot take on all things fitness, mindset, nutrition, and motivation. In this episode, Sal shares how to make fitness a part of your daily routine without wasting too much time or energy. He also breaks down common misconceptions about resistance training, muscle-building, and fat loss.

Moreover, Sal uncovers why your motivation to lead a healthier lifestyle must come from within, and by seeking out more practical solutions, we can feel better, more energized, and happier, all while achieving our wellness goals and promoting longevity.

Sal Di Stefano started as a trainer at the young age of 18. His passion for fitness and his love of people quickly propelled him to open some of the largest big-box gyms in the California Bay Area. At the age of 24, he opened a wellness-based fitness studio that offered hormone, nutrition, gut health specialists, and fitness trainers. During this time, Sal developed his behavioral-focused approach to helping his clients achieve long-term success and solve their most persistent problems with health and fitness.

Sal is one of the most highly sought-after experts in fitness, and his practical and easy-to-execute communication style.
