In today's episode, I give it to you straight and debunk a few myths surrounding protein so you can consume this building block of the body without a care in the world!

Today we discuss what holding yourself accountable to progression in the gym really looks like. What is progressive overload to you? We can't simply say "harder than last time" and expect results. Thing are more nuanced than this. Let's challenge the conventional idea of progressive overload because honestly... it sucks

Carbs have been defamed worse than Johnny Depp. Is there justification to this? Are they simply being scapegoated for a broader picture that happens to involve carbs leading to weight gain? Correlation is not the same as causation. Let's unpick this and get clear once and for all on carbs and whether they can help you or hinder you

Are you choosing the hero's path? Or simply existing near the bottom of the credits? I am always mentioning the term "The Hero's Journey" and today's episode explores this in depth.

I'm not a fan of fad diets. In today's episode, I explain why there's a good reason you shouldn't be either. And for the keto nuts out there, I'll be covering that soon too. And I may surprise you...

Me - Wait... you actually followed the plan right? Take pictures, send me pictures of your meals. Thinks to self - are they sending me everything or just cherry picking?

Whether it's bodybuilding, powerlifting or just chasing the butt gains for the 'gram, eventually, somewhere, muscle groups get left by the wayside.

So when hiring a PT... what should we expect them to say when considering a fat loss plan? Some know the answer but play into the HIIT narrative anyway in order to make an easy sale.
