Happy Micro-Dose Monday—Today we tackle 4 juicy topics in one episode instead of dedicating the full hour to just one. Fast-paced, research-backed, and designed to hit you with the good stuff right away.

Here’s what we cover:

🧠 How to Train Like an Athlete (Even If You’re Not One)
Bodybuilding builds size. Athletic training builds function. We break down the real differences between the two—and how to start blending them for a stronger, more capable, and actually useful body.

🍭 Why Some Lifters Eat Candy While They Workout
Yes, it’s real. And yes, there’s a good reason. We’ll explain the science of fast carbs, workout fuel, and why Sour Patch Kids might beat out your protein bar mid-set.

🧬 The Hunger Hormone You’ve Never Heard Of: Neuroestrogen
A brand-new rodent study found that estrogen made in the brain may play a massive role in appetite control—and it could reshape the future of obesity treatment. Wild? Yes. Relevant? 100%.

💉 GLP-1s, Influencers, and the Missing Truth
We talk about the real problem with influencers taking Ozempic or GLP-1s. Spoiler: it's not that they’re using them—it’s that they’re profiting off courses while hiding it. We break down what’s ethical, what’s misleading, and why transparency has to be the standard in the fitness space.
