In this Q&A episode, I’m answering some of the questions you have sent in recently, and we are covering a little bit of everything.


We talk about what I personally use for bloating and gut support, the smart scales I’ve used, and the app I use regularly for tracking food and macros. I also share what my deload weeks look like, especially because I do have to train a little differently and really pay attention to what my body needs.


We also get into glute growth…because no, you do not have to only train lower body if you want your glutes to grow. But you do need to train them intentionally. I break down the difference between working your glutes in lengthened and shortened positions and why both matter if you want continued progress.


And of course, we cover some of the bigger questions too: recovery, intermittent fasting, “fat-burning mode,” and my honest thoughts on GLP-1s.


As always, the goal is to help you cut through the noise, understand what actually matters, and build a body and lifestyle that feels strong, sustainable, and supportive.



In this episode, we cover:

  • The prebiotic/probiotic supplement I use for bloating
  • The smart scales I have used and recommend
  • What my deload weeks look like and why I listen to my body
  • How to train for continued glute growth
  • Why “fat-burning mode” from intermittent fasting is overhyped
  • The truth about fasting windows and fat loss
  • My honest, unfiltered thoughts on GLP-1s
