Most people think they need to train five or six days a week, cut out every “bad” food, and take a small pharmacy of supplements to see results. The truth? You don’t.

In this episode, we break down the difference between the minimum effective dose and chasing the “perfect” routine - and why doing less (the right way) often leads to more progress.

We talk about:

• The trap of the “rise and grind” mindset

• How office culture quietly ruins your health (looking at you, Brenda and your biscuits 🍪)

• Why three solid workouts a week can beat six half-hearted ones

• The role of supplements for busy people

• How your environment - from the office to the gym - shapes your results and relationships
