EP 2: Build Muscle, Boost Longevity & Balance Hormones w/ Brad Davidson

In this episode of The Loop Podcast, I sit down with my personal trainer and wellness mentor, Brad Davidson, a renowned performance coach and owner of The Weight Room in Newport Beach. Brad has worked with high-level executives, elite athletes, and—most recently—me, as I recovered from ACL and meniscus surgery.

We dive deep into:

• The real reason high-intensity workouts might be sabotaging your health
• How to build lasting strength and muscle mass without burning out
• Why stress is the #1 enemy of metabolism
• The power of peptides, amino acids, creatine, and personalized recovery tools
• How emotional wellness and mental resilience are the secret ingredients to physical success
• The truth about red meat, protein needs, and food sensitivity
• Tips on finding the right personal trainer—and what most fitness programs get wrong

Brad also shares his personal journey, his experience coaching through The Loop Way, and the top recovery tools (like cold plunges and saunas) he uses for peak performance.

📌 Whether you're navigating recovery, looking to optimize your health, or want to understand how peptides fit into the bigger picture, this episode is full of actionable wisdom and inspiration.
