Episode Details

Welcome to the Mind Muscle Connection Podcast!

In this solo episode, I talk about If You’re Above These Body Fat Ranges You Don’t Need A Surplus To Build Muscle or “Reset” Your Metabolism

I break down why that approach usually backfires, what actually happens to your body when you keep pushing calories up, and how this can impact your health, performance, and body composition over time. I also go through the most common beliefs I hear from clients and explain what’s really going on behind the scenes.

If fat loss has felt confusing or you feel stuck despite trying to “eat more,” this episode will help you understand what to focus on instead and how to move forward with a smarter plan!
