Why does the diet that transformed your husband do almost nothing for you?
Christine Hronec is a food scientist and chemical engineer who has coached tens of thousands of women, and she says most of them were failing at nutrition for reasons no calorie app ever flagged.
She sits down with Tony and Effi to unpack why women can't eat like men, how carb tolerance and hormones decide what belongs on your plate, the testing window most doctors skip, and why walking beats punishing cardio for fat loss. Along the way, she breaks down macro types, the calorie math people get wrong, and where supplements actually earn their place.
If you have been eating clean, training hard, and still feel tired, foggy, and stuck, this one hands you the reasons and the fixes. Listen now.
