In this episode of The Iron Perspective, JD Denham breaks down the exact fasting, nutrition, and discipline principles he’s used for over a decade to stay sharp, lean, focused, and consistent mentally, physically, and spiritually.

From sobriety to fitness to leadership, JD explains how fasting became more than a body-composition tool it became a weapon for clarity, discipline, and self-mastery. He walks through how his approach to food, training, and structure evolved with age, and why most people never reach their potential simply because they can’t control themselves.

JD covers:

• How fasting rewired his discipline after addiction

• Why most people eat too often and think too small

• The difference between feeding hunger vs feeding purpose

• His real-world fasting schedule (no fluff, no trends)

• Why discipline creates freedom not restriction

• How structure, faith, and consistency compound over time

This episode is for anyone who knows their body, mind, and habits need tightening and is ready to stop negotiating with weakness.
