From Burnout to Balance: Dmitri George's Guide to Tailored Fitness and Lasting Health

S4 E48 • Dec 2, 2025 • 49 mins

In this episode, Dr. Alessi and Dmitri George discuss Dmitri's transition from a corporate career to fitness training. They explore his approach to client customization and the role of trainers in initial assessments. The conversation covers the integration of physical activity with resistance training and the importance of consistent nutritional habits, while highlighting common exercise mistakes. Psychological aspects of burnout and recovery are examined, alongside debunking health misinformation on social media. Topics include creating positive health habits, gut health's impact on wellness, and tailoring fitness programs to individual needs. The episode concludes with insights on involving family in health practices and viewing health as an investment.

Key Points

  • Increasing physical activity alone is not enough for sustainable weight loss; it must be combined with adequate nutrition and resistance training.
  • Many people fail to achieve their fitness goals because they focus on what they want to do rather than identifying and eliminating behaviors that hinder their progress.
  • A synergistic approach to health that includes fitness training, nutritional guidance, functional medicine, and stress management can lead to significantly better outcomes.
