In this podcast, recorded in January 2024, we discuss various subjects with Isa Pecini. We delve into Isa's future competing plans and goals, as well as her past struggles with anorexia. From my coaching perspective, we also analyze Isa as an athlete and we compare her previous preparations to the methods we currently use for her offseason, preps, and peak weeks. Isa shares her emotional journey, from the highs of winning to the lows of losing the Olympia. This podcast was particularly enjoyable for me because Isa is a very kind and genuine person. It also marks her first English podcast, allowing listeners to experience her sweet personality firsthand. We hope you enjoy it!The Atlas Podcast is available on:

In this episode of The Atlas Podcast, we dive into the world of weight management and body optimization with Kelley Wright, MD, and IFBB Bikini Pro. With her 25 years of medical experience, Dr. Wright illuminates the science and myths about Semaglutide, Liraglutide, Ozempic, and Wegovy. We share personal stories, discuss the effects of hormones like leptin and ghrelin, highlight the true benefits, and clear up myths, such as muscle loss and 'Ozempic face.' Furthermore, Dr. Wright offers insights into the specific challenges bodybuilders face, from reading bloodwork and managing liver enzymes to balancing hormones. The conversation also covers PEDs, female fertility, TRT, gut health, and optimizing sleep.
