This week we’re taking a flamethrower to some of the fitness world’s most persistent myths. From the holy commandment of never skipping leg day to the Hollywood chicken-broccoli-rice illusion—they’re not just eating clean, they’re likely on more gear than Big Alan at the gym. We’ll tackle the protein absorption myth, why soreness doesn’t equal success, and why warm water isn’t going to melt your fat away. Plus, we’ll clear up the confusion about muscle turning into fat

We’ll break down good fats vs bad fats, and explain why your brain loves healthy fats. So put down the low-fat yogurt and tune in.

In this week's episode, we're lifting the dumbbell of truth on alcohol and its effects on muscle gains. I'll be exploring gender differences and how women, due to body composition variations, experience faster alcohol absorption, raising health risks. I'm also looking at the time it takes for alcohol to leave our systems and the legal threshold for impairment. I'm also discussing how alcohol disrupts muscle protein synthesis and triggers hormonal imbalances, affecting muscle growth. Nutrient absorption suffers as alcohol damages the gastrointestinal tract, pancreas, and liver, urging moderation for optimal health. Hydration takes a hit with alcohol's diuretic effects, affecting temperature, joints, and nutrient transport. I'll be addressing fat burning too, looking at how alcohol slows metabolism and introduces empty calories. All of these factors can negatively impact your muscle-building progress. You can't lift heavy and drink heavy if you want to see real progress. So next time you're at the bar, just remember, you might be toasting to gains lost in the fog of alcohol.

This week, we're diving into a topic that might be weighing you down—quite literally! We've all been there—You wake up, drag yourself to the mirror, and you have a puffy marshmallow face.

Or maybe it was that second salted caramel brownie you just had to have yesterday? Well, don't worry, my bloated friends, because today, we're gonna explore how everything from diet, hormones, illnesses, medications, and even your favourite salty snacks can turn you into a human sponge.
