    In this one, I break down how to actually build a training program that works—something that supports both muscle growth and fat loss without wasting time doing random shit from Instagram.

  • 006 | 6 Essential Supplements Every Man Needs for Health, Strength, and Performance

    In this episode, I break down the truth about supplements—what actually works, what’s a waste of money, and where you should be focusing your attention first. I cover six supplements that I actually recommend.  Stuff like creatine, fish oil, vitamin D, and more—but I also make it clear: none of this matters if your sleep, nutrition, and lifestyle are trash. Supplements are just the extra 5%. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the supplement aisle or just want to stop getting scammed by flashy labels, this one’s for you.

  • 001 | Flexible Dieting: The Skill Every Man Needs to Master for Strength, Performance, and Freedom

    In this episode, I get into the concept of flexible dieting and why it beats the hell out of strict meal plans and crash diets.

I also dive into diet periodization, how to adjust your intake over time, and how to handle eating in real life without blowing your progress.
