How to Get Fit Without Ever Stepping Into a Gym

For many men, the idea of spending hours at the gym isn’t just unappealing—it’s unworkable. Whether it’s due to time, money, or simply a lack of motivation, the traditional fitness model doesn't fit everyone's lifestyle. Marc Azoulay is a psychotherapist and host of the Men’s Therapy Podcast. He shares practical insights into how men can build strength. He teaches how to reclaim their health and take control of their lives—all from the comfort of their homes.
“I’ve worked with hundreds of men who hate the gym,” Azoulay explains. “That’s not a problem. You don’t need to bench press 200 pounds to build discipline, testosterone, and a body you're proud of.”
This episode is especially geared toward dads. They may be sacrificing their well-being for their families, unintentionally sidelining their health. “Maybe the commute is too long. Maybe you’re prioritizing your family over yourself, which is problematic in some ways, but understandable.”
What emerges is a powerful message rooted in one key principle: consistency. Azoulay emphasizes that building habits, not chasing motivation, is what leads to lasting change. As he says, “Action creates motivation—not the other way around.”

Holistic Wellness and the Modern Man w/ Benjamin Vozmediano

On this episode of the Men’s Therapy Podcast, holistic wellness coach Benjamin Vozmediano joins us. He shares a deeply personal and eye-opening story of transformation. Benjamin opens up about what it truly means to heal—and how the journey inward is often the most powerful one.
“I had a double life,” Benjamin says. “I was working professionally in wellness, but I was partying hard, numbing myself with alcohol, cocaine, and casual sex.” His honesty pierces through the cultural norm of men suffering in silence. “Depression in men doesn’t always look like sadness. Sometimes it looks like being the life of the party.”
Now in his 40s, Benjamin is living proof of what holistic wellness can look like when it’s embodied. He is building community through Bro Retreats. It is a Sweden-based program designed to help men heal trauma. It helps them reconnect with their bodies and talk openly about the pressures of modern masculinity.
“I finally had to face myself,” he shares, reflecting on the moment he hit rock bottom. That reckoning led him to Peru. Psychedelic therapy for depression helped shift his inner narrative and open new doors to healing. In this conversation, Benjamin and I explore the tools, mindset, and courage it takes for men to rewrite their stories.
Starting with the Basics: Holistic Wellness for Men
“Holistic wellness isn’t just about working out. It’s about sleep, food, connection, movement, and emotional release,” Benjamin explains. He emphasizes four key pillars for building a foundation of health. These include consistent sleep, strength training, walking 10,000–15,000 steps daily, and adequate protein intake.
These simple habits help men reconnect to their physical selves. It is crucial in a world where male burnout and emotional numbness are increasingly common. “Start small,” he advises. “Even just walking daily can shift your entire mental state.”
Benjamin encourages men to take action without overthinking. “Analysis paralysis is killing progress,” he says. “You don’t need a perfect gym plan. Just do ten pushups at home. It’s about priming the pump.”

Harnessing Inner Child Work for Mental Fitness w/ Aidan Lee

In this episode of the Men’s Therapy Podcast, host Marc Azoulay speaks with Aidan Lee.

His journey is shaped by family, discipline, and spiritual practice. Aidan shares how he channels his life experiences. He utilizes those to help men achieve mental fitness and emotional resilience.
Lee's story begins in childhood, learning kickboxing from his father at the age of four. “He was my very first martial arts instructor,” he explains. Aidan recalls how those early lessons taught him to “channel aggression positively.” But it wasn’t until college, where he studied philosophy, that he began to explore the deeper layers of his identity and purpose. “What I realized is that modern martial arts often leaves out the mental and philosophical parts. Those are core to real transformation,” he says.
Lee’s work now focuses on guiding men—especially dads—from trauma to triumph. Through FitRoots, he blends physical training with mental coaching. He helps men reclaim strength, consistency, and a powerful sense of self through inner child work and emotional fitness.

Your Brain's Survival System is Destroying Your Peace w/ Dr. Stephen Sideroff

On this episode of the Men’s Therapy Podcast, host Marc Azoulay welcomes Dr. Stephen Sideroff. He is a clinical psychologist, UCLA professor, and author of The Nine Pillars of Resilience. Dr. Sideroff brings decades of experience in neuroscience. He focuses on addiction recovery and stress science. This conversation is practical for men navigating the complex terrain of emotional health.
Dr. Sideroff begins by recounting how a relatively positive childhood gave way to the emotional challenges of early adulthood. “I quickly realized that stress was one of the primary modulators of how we feel and how successful we are,” he explains. His journey from neuroscience to clinical psychology is rooted in a desire to work directly with people. He wants to help them cope better with life’s challenges.
The conversation explores how men often lack the tools for emotional regulation. This is due to a mismatch between evolutionary biology and modern life. “Our stress response doesn’t match the needs of our everyday life,” says Dr. Sideroff. “We’re overreacting to things like a bill or a meeting as if we’re facing a predator.” This realization led him to develop a comprehensive approach to resilience training. It emphasizes the importance of emotional balance, self-awareness, and recovery practices.

It is a form of manipulation that’s deeply misunderstood yet increasingly visible in today’s society.
Reflecting on how the book came to be, Simon shares. “I was meeting with people… experiencing what we today call the gaslighting effect… but we didn’t even know it as a real thing back then.” That firsthand exposure to relational manipulation pushed him to uncover the covert behaviours. The ones that are hidden beneath a polished surface.
What makes covert narcissism so insidious? Simon explains that these individuals often appear charming, empathetic, and kind. It is only until the facade breaks. “They’re good impression managers,” he notes. “But underneath it all, they were very controlling, dominant, seeking, and underhanded.” Simon offers more than a diagnostic overview. He explores the intersection of personality, morality, and the culture that allows dysfunction to thrive.
