Welcome to my first solo AMA episode in quite some time! 

I recently submitted the second round of edits for my book. That excited me and inspired me to reach out on social media and invite questions from my listeners and community.

In my conversation today, I dive into weight loss resistance and reverse dieting, and I also share what I have been doing over the past year to build muscle. 

Join me for a transparent and candid conversation, interwoven with questions from listeners and social media followers, where I answer many of the questions that matter most to you.

Why the death of my father inspired me to back away from fasting and focus on strength training
