I'm a strength and nutrition coach of over 15 years, and I help turn everyday people into everyday athletes by taking a longer term approach to their training and nutrition... but I'm also running an 8 Week Kickstart (it starts Monday 11th, check it out HERE). Am I a massive hypocrite? Or is there more to this kickstart than meets the eye? Obviously I'm biased, but listen to this episode to learn why this isn't just another short term transformation or fat loss challenge.

I'm back answering your weekly questions, how to training and eat around your menstrual cycle, are BCAAs and creatine worth it? Top 5 "naughty" snacks and how to fit alcohol within your nutrition plan.
