Calories tell only half the story. In this episode I uncover the real drivers of stubborn fat, cravings, and stalled muscle: estrogen, cortisol, insulin, and leptin. Learn how these four hormones decide whether you burn fat or store it, and hear the food, stress, training, lab, and peptide strategies that bring them back into balance so body recomposition finally makes sense.

Can you have a healthy gut on a low-carb or even carnivore diet? This episode with Certified Holistic Nutritionist and Herbalist Ashley Sauvé is packed with insights on how to support digestion—even if plants don’t love you back.

Whether you're dealing with bloating, fatigue, or food fears, this conversation is the gut reset you didn’t know you needed.

Healing doesn’t always feel good—and that might be a good thing.

If you’ve ever felt discouraged on your health journey—this one’s for you.
