Episode Summary:

Nick Walker opens up about the darkest period of his career - from injury and family loss to missing the 2024 Olympia. But this isn't just another comeback story. Nick reveals the shocking truth about what really changed everything: his mindset, environment, and a completely different approach to training and supplementation.
