#Quah question #1 – I’m using a GLP-1 and doing the MAPS GLP-1 program, but I feel like it’s not enough. I’ve done Anabolic and Aesthetic before and love those. I already walk as well but feel like I need more strength training exercises. What should I do? (59:22)
#Quah question #2 – You speak about the 3-2-1 sleep protocol (describe the protocol), but what do you do or suggest people do in the last hour without screens? And for people who have made watching TV to fall asleep their routine, what suggestions do you have to fill this space until you’re ready to fall asleep? (1:04:16)
#Quah question #3 – If I don’t have access to places that have water tanks and DEXA scans, what is the next best-recommended way to test my body fat? (1:10:01)
