Show Notes

In this Q&A episode, I answer ten of your biggest fitness, nutrition, and lifestyle questions, covering everything from losing fat without tracking calories to whether cheat meals help or hurt your progress.

Some of the key topics I cover:
✅ How to know if you're training hard enough to build muscle
✅ The biggest diet myth people still believe
✅ How to adjust training & nutrition for staying lean after 40
✅ The best way to make progress at home with minimal equipment
✅ How much cardio do you need for fat loss?

Plus, I dive into some fun topics, like a book, movie, or show that stuck with me, a hobby I’ve always wanted to learn, and the historical or fictional character I’d love to have dinner with.
