Episode Description

Are you working out harder than ever but still feeling sluggish? The culprit might not be your effort; it’s the "Ultra-Processed Trap."

We break down the exact 90-day framework to detox your system, reclaim your energy, and shift from declarative knowledge (knowing it’s bad) to procedural mastery (knowing exactly how to eat for life).
