Somewhere in the mix of cold showers and calorie trackers, the pursuit of health can feel heavier than intended. And you may just wonder, “Am I actually getting healthier… or just busier, without actual results?”

With quick fixes constantly peddled to us, clarity can seem elusive. But no-nonsense health and wellness programs like WILDFIT and 10X Fitness (both available on Mindvalley) can step in as your support system.

One rebuilds your rhythm with food; the other, your power through movement. Both have reshaped how thousands of Mindvalley students eat, train, and live.

More than that, they invite you to put aside one-size-fits-all ideals to discover what vitality truly means for you.

What is WILDFIT?

At its core, WILDFIT is a 90-day recalibration of how you eat and think about eating. Created by holistic wellness expert Eric Edmeades, the program helps you explore intuitive eating at your own pace. 

His ultimate goal? To help you attain food freedom by helping you remember your natural cravings and instincts before the food industry messed them up. Real work, he believes, begins not in restriction, but in self-awareness.

The program, as Eric sees it, facilitates what he calls “a conversation between you and your biology.” It’s designed this way because he believes real transformation begins when hunger becomes information, rather than a series of impulses.

As he says, “We don’t have a healthcare crisis; we have a self-care crisis.” In a country where the average American consumes about 17 teaspoons of added sugar a day, this level of awareness has never been more crucial.

So if you’re one to Google,What is the ancestral diet?lately, well… you’re in for a treat. (No pun intended.)

What to expect

Each week of the WILDFIT program blends behavioral psychology with evolutionary nutrition, prioritizing whole, nutrient-dense foods that once shaped human vitality. Participants will move through seasonal themes that mirror nature’s rhythm:

  • Spring for cleansing, where the body learns to release sugar dependence and reset its natural hunger cues.
  • Summer for abundance, a.k.a. the phase that reintroduces vibrant fruits and healthy fats to rebuild energy and metabolic balance.
    Fall for rest, a reflective period that teaches the body to sustain health without strict control, integrating mindful eating as a way of life.

“Anyone can change with willpower,” reminds Eric. The bigger challenge, he adds, is how long you’d stay motivated, which is what the program is ultimately about. “Real change happens when the mind and body begin to agree.”

WILDFIT reviews

For many people, WILDFIT feels like a full-body reset. The 90-day experience guides them to rework their eating habits and approach to food, often resulting in increased energy, improved sleep, sharper focus, and a steadier sense of balance.

Just ask these Mindvalley members, who are now happier to share how they’ve reconnected with their bodies with Eric’s ethos:

Finding freedom beyond the scale

When Ingrid Hardy from Sedona reached 195 pounds at the age of 63, she realized something had to change. “I was panicking a bit, as I did not want to see the number 200,” she shares. 

That’s when she discovered WILDFIT.

Over the course of 90 days, Ingrid followed the seasonal approach Eric teaches: easing in with fruits and greens before gradually letting go of foods that caused her inflammation. “It was beautiful to have so much support during the process,” she recalls.

By the end of her participation, Ingrid had lost 30 pounds, slept better, and felt lighter in body and mind. “My sinus congestion has disappeared, I’ve lost inches all over, and I’m constantly getting compliments on how happy and fabulous I look.” 

She now cycles through WILDFIT’s seasons year-round.

Rewriting the rules of nourishment

Josh Finkelstein, a former triathlete from Washington, found himself gaining weight despite years of training. What he discovered through WILDFIT was less about exercise and more about food psychology. 

In just three months of following Eric’s guidance, he lost 25 pounds and dropped four pant sizes. But the real change was in how he viewed eating. As he shares, WILDFIT helped me build a life around challenging the norms of food consumption as well as the emotions attached to them.”

Now, Josh feels 10 years younger and credits the program’s community for keeping him consistent. “I’m certainly in it for the long haul,” he points out, “as I feel better than I did in the previous year.”

WILDFIT helped me build a life around challenging the norms of food consumption as well as the emotions attached to them.

When awareness becomes strength

Johannesburg-based Peter Goosen didn’t realize how out of shape he was until one night, when his gate motor had failed, and he had to climb a six-foot fence. “I struggled like an old zoo gorilla to hoist myself over this minor obstacle,” he recalls.

At 1.68 meters tall and 105 kg in weight, he signed up for WILDFIT after exploring a free masterclass on Mindvalley. Three months later, he was down to 88 kg. “I feel stronger and more energetic than ever,” he expresses. “No more aches and pains when waking up—and best of all, I have no desire to go back to my old lifestyle.”

What is the 10X Fitness program?

Ask Ronan Diego for an introduction to 10X Fitness, his program on Mindvalley, and the holistic fitness expert will describe it as a pursuit to build strength, endurance, and metabolic health in the shortest time possible. You’re looking at two 15-minute sessions a week that promise to deliver more results than hours of conventional training.

Co-created with performance coach and industry peer Lorenzo Delano, the program is, as Ronan calls it, “the evolution of effort.” Here’s why: you focus on training your muscles and nervous system to do more with less. According to him, the philosophy behind this approach is simple: “We want to serve the body, not the ego.”

From this principle stems the program’s foundation: high-intensity, low-frequency methods that activate the body’s adaptive response to enhance muscle endurance, promote fat reduction, and promote longevity. 

Every session focuses on precision form, controlled tempo, and what he terms “momentary muscle failure.” It’s that sweet spot where your muscles are pushed just hard enough to trigger growth

What to expect

In the program, you will experience three progressive phases that mirror the way the body learns, adapts, and performs:

  • Phase 1: The foundation. Up to Week 4, you’ll learn to master posture, form, and breathing for injury-free strength while learning the essentials of the 10X Big 6 routine. These short, focused sessions train your body’s adaptive response.
  • Phase 2: Sculpting season. Once your foundation is set, you’ll increase resistance and target specific muscle groups to tone, define, and enhance your performance from Weeks 5 to 9.
  • Phase 3: Living your 10X lifestyle. This final phase, spanning Weeks 10 to 12, integrates recovery, sleep, and nutrition to make fitness effortless. By now, strength training has become a natural part of your routine, transforming movement into a sustainable way of life.

Don’t be surprised if you feel like giving up at any point in the process. Just remember that this is totally normal, and take a breath before you pick up your pace again. Ronan points out, “Consistency, not exhaustion, is what shapes your results.” 

Below is a glimpse of what Ronan has to offer in the program:

10X Fitness reviews

If you’ve ever wondered whether two 15-minute workouts a week can truly reshape your strength and stamina, these 10X Fitness Mindvalley reviews tell the story best. The program’s approach has helped so many members around the world reclaim confidence, rebuild energy, and learn how to train smarter.

Below, three Mindvalley students share what happened when they put Ronan and Lorenzo’s methods into practice:

Learning to trust the process

When Leilani Brown, a 48-year-old health coach from Brisbane, joined 10X, she wasn’t a stranger to the gym. But the weights section intimidated her. “I was an intermittent-fasting cardio bunny,” she says. “I preferred treadmills and spin bikes over weights.”

She decided to give the program a real shot and make the assigned gym sessions a non-negotiable part of her week. Ronan’s approach, she eventually realized, was doable, even enjoyable, which she chalks up to the program’s easy-to-follow design. “The videos were simple enough for me to understand,” she explains. 

Within four weeks, she began to see early gains. Today, resistance training has become part of her routine. “It’s taken me a year to understand how my body responds to food, hydration, and emotions,” reveals Leilani. “I’ve normalized resistance training; it doesn’t scare me as much.” 

Training smarter, healing deeper

For Barcelona-based Yamila Tudela Pol, enrolling in 10X Fitness meant regaining her time and comfort. “Before the pandemic, I used to train three hours in the gym,” she says. “Now my training time is just six to ten minutes.”

Despite working out less, she noticed real improvements. “I’m lifting or pulling more weight than before. My legs and glutes are more defined, and I feel younger.” 

But what surprised her the most was the relief she got from recurring pain. As she’s happy to note, “All the old injuries are gone.” 

Redefining strength after setback

After losing his right leg below the knee in 2020, Lawrence Tuazon from Fukuoka, Japan, spent more than a year in recovery. Traditional weight training didn’t help him rebuild his strength; Ronan’s version in 10X Fitness did.

“I started the protocol in October 2020 and joined the program the following January,” he shares. “My goal was to strengthen my legs and prevent muscle atrophy.” 

Six months later, his leg press strength had increased by 264%, reaching 190 kg for 12 repetitions. The result? He can now walk for long hours, jog, and climb stairs without his muscles becoming fatigued. 

And the benefits Lawrence is reaping extend beyond the physical. “My mood,” he reports, “is always good. I can actively play with my daughter again.” 

WILDFIT vs. 10X Fitness: Key differences

Both programs are built on the science of wellness, but they transform the body in different ways. One helps you tune into what your body truly needs through food awareness and behavioral change, while the other focuses on strength and longevity via efficient movement.

Here’s how they compare:

Think of WILDFIT as the nutrition blueprint that resets your system from the inside out, and 10X as the training framework that helps you build on that foundation. Each tackles a different piece of the wellness puzzle, and both are equally essential for feeling strong, energized, and in sync with your body.

Which program is for you?

To know whether you should go for WILDFIT or 10X Fitness, you have to first know where your body is at right now. Both Mindvalley programs lead to transformation, but they meet you at different stages of your health journey.

Here’s how to know which to go for:

Why you should choose WILDFIT

This program is for you if your immediate goal is to burn fat, rebalance your metabolism, and feel more energized. It helps you rebuild your relationship with food and tune into what your body truly needs. 

When body fat levels are higher, insulin sensitivity tends to decrease, making it more difficult for your body to absorb and utilize nutrients effectively. However, here’s where Eric helps you repair that imbalance by encouraging you to choose nutrient-dense foods to stabilize your blood sugar levels and restore your natural hunger cues.

Since diet plays a more significant role than exercise in shaping body composition, Eric provides you with the tools to create visible, lasting change from the inside out, which is ultimately about what you eat but also how you think about eating. 

“The body,” he posits, “is not the problem. It’s the environment, the habits, the signals we’ve stopped listening to.”

Anyone can change with willpower. The question is for how long.

— Eric Edmeades, trainer of the WILDFIT program on Mindvalley

Why you should opt for 10X Fitness

If you’re already at a healthy weight and want to get stronger, leaner, and more defined, 10X Fitness can be your next best step.

With just two short (yet no less effective) workout sessions a week, Ronan and Lorenzo guide you to activate your body’s adaptive response. The focus here shouldn’t be on doing more, but rather on doing what matters for your body. “You don’t need more time,” says Ronan. “You need the right stimulus.”

This is where each unique workout combination comes in. The goal is to push your muscles to the edge of their capacity, then give them the recovery they need to grow back stronger. That balance of effort and rest is the stuff of muscular endurance, which is what makes results sustainable long term.

You don’t need more time. You need the right stimulus.

— Ronan Diego, trainer of the 10X Fitness program on Mindvalley

When it’s good to do both 

When push comes to shove, WILDFIT and 10X Fitness work best together for lasting results. 

“The moment you start feeding your body what it’s truly asking for, everything begins to change: your energy, your focus, your confidence,” says Eric. This foundation prepares you for 10X Fitness, where nutrition supports performance instead of holding it back.

You can think of proper nutrition as the fuel for optimal movement. “There’s no chasing exhaustion here,” says Ronan. And fueling right is a matter of mindset. “We train the body to adapt,” he continues. “When your mind and muscles work together, the results multiply.”

Zooming out, you’ll see the connecting point: the food nourishes the system, and the training amplifies it. And together, they contribute to an ongoing cycle of vitality that supports you for life.

Frequently asked questions

What do you eat on a WILDFIT diet?

WILDFIT centers on whole, nutrient-rich foods that help your body return to its natural rhythm. 

The seasonal patterns it’s based on are inspired by how humans evolved to eat, guiding you through phases that emphasize fresh fruits, leafy greens, vegetables, quality proteins, and healthy fats. Gradually, you’ll start letting go of processed foods and refined sugars as your body begins to crave what truly nourishes it.

Many participants report improved digestion, increased energy, deeper sleep, and a more balanced relationship with food by the end of the 90 days. To this, Eric says, “When you start feeding your body real food, it starts to tell you what it needs.”

Can 10X Fitness help with weight loss?

The short answer is yes. Most students begin to notice physical and mental changes within the first few weeks. 

Measurable shifts often show up by the end of the first month. The short, high-intensity sessions stimulate your adaptive response, which supports fat loss by increasing muscle activation, improving metabolic efficiency, and encouraging better post-workout recovery.

But Ronan is always quick to remind his students that the real magic happens during the resting phase between sessions. As he says, “Your results don’t come from the workout. They come from what happens between workouts.”

How much do WILDFIT and 10X Fitness cost?

Both programs are available to you on the Mindvalley app, simultaneously when you sign up for a Mindvalley Membership. For the price of one subscription, you also get access to other programs in personal growth and development, spirituality, meditation, and more.

Pricing may vary by region and is subject to promotions. So do check the Mindvalley Membership page for the correct price tier and the latest offer.
