Grow or Die

Today we're joined by the hormone expert himself, Sam Miller. Sam is a business owner, nutrition coach, podcaster and so much more. Today we get very specific and nerd out on a very common topic across the industry today - birth control. This one isn't only for women either. We do our best to take our gender-bias out of the equation while teaching you how birth control affects your hormones, performance and recovery as a fitness enthusiast or bodybuilder. We're talking endocrine system, progesterone, SHBG, birth control variations. We learn how Sam got into fitness and why he focused his attention on overall hormonal health and wellness. We discuss how our bodies respond to different forms of stress, how often you should be getting blood work done and what birth control is really doing to women internally.

Then we discuss how to pick a training style best for you, and why specificity is so important to understand for your recovery and performance. Then we discuss Nick's mental approach to training while finding your peace in bodybuilding.

There's a lot of negativity and pain in the world right now. This episode is going to help you elevate as we discuss our experiences with bullying at a young age and how it has molded our mentality throughout the years. We talk about the importance of removing yourself from negative people as well as a negative mindset. It's surprising that we're still experiencing these things but they need to be addressed. We need to continue becoming better. Let's do this together.

Are you dating a bodybuilder? Have you ever? Today we talk all about what it takes to date a bodybuilder. We dive into several topics including nutrition and food, managing mood swings, managing time for training and sleep, handling the narcissism, supplementation requirements and the value of loyalty, support and training goals. Then we get into a discussion on jealousy and why you shouldn't let it overcome your self worth or your relationship.

Today we discuss why your age does not equate to experience. How to truly enhance your education, fitness, relationships and more through experience by removing your ego during reflection. Experience is not determined by age, but is based upon fact or events from a previous moment in time. It's up to you to learn and pivot from that experience to continue growing. We discuss self reflection and what it means to live an evidence based life. Strive to become an evidence based coach.

We open up today's episode with something very important to us. Always remember this podcast is meant to challenge you so we can all become greater together. Then we dive into our thoughts on proper research. Are you a "research based" coach? We dive into how to properly conduct research both anecdotally and with studies, how to pivot and challenge that research and why you should never shy away from things you don't agree with. You're going to get a lot from this. Let's get into it.
