We also discuss which peptides are gaining the most attention in pro sports, the risks athletes need to consider, and how regulations and testing are evolving around their use.

On top of that, we break down the long-term conversation around GLP-1s, how that space is changing fast, and what supplements are important to take while using them to help support muscle mass, recovery, performance, and overall health.

One of the most detailed episodes we’ve done yet on performance optimization, recovery, longevity, and the future of modern health science.

This week we’re joined by one of the most respected bodybuilding minds in Kansas City, Will Moxley, alongside returning guest and IFBB Pro, Christian Miles.

In this episode, we break down Will’s full coaching philosophy, the biggest do’s and don’ts competitors need to understand, and what it really takes to guide athletes at the pro level.
