I’m spilling the beans on some health advice I used to dish out that I've since ditched! In this episode, we’re diving into the science of health—you know, that thing that keeps evolving faster than the lastest Instagram trend.

I’ll talk about how chronic calorie restriction can backfire and the importance of listening to your body. Plus, I’ll reveal my shift from calorie-torching HIIT workouts to muscle-building strength training.
