Kicking off our last episode before the Bali retreat, the boys go way deeper than macros and step counts. MG shares a big health win after years of battling haemochromatosis and scary blood markers, then opens up about panic attacks, anxiety, medication, and how all of this ties into bodybuilding, prep decisions, relationships and “being selfish” as an athlete.

We cover:
✅ MG’s haemochromatosis update: iron, liver health, sleep & stress finally improving
✅ Why sleep and life load can wreck your bloodwork more than training or creatine ever will
✅ MG’s history of severe daily panic attacks, hiding them at work & finally getting help
✅ Therapy, medication & breathing tools: what actually helped vs what didn’t
✅ How prep can become an escape from life problems – and red flags you’re “revenge prepping”
✅ Breakups, job stress & using the stage to fill a void vs competing for the right reasons
✅ Where the line is between committed and straight-up selfish in prep
✅ Partners who don’t “get” bodybuilding, insecurity, jealousy & setting expectations early
✅ Handling guilt as a parent in prep while still being present at home
✅ Season B vs Season C 2027: how we think about timing, recovery and international shows
✅ Being honest when you’re not coping with the structure & how a good coach should respond

🎧 A heavier, more personal episode of the Prep Coach Podcast that might be the nudge someone needs to get support.
