• #ListenerLive question #1 – Would I see better results sticking with this new approach, where all 3 phases repeat every 9-day cycle for 12 weeks, or is it more effective to dedicate 4 weeks to each phase across the 12-week program? (53:08)

• #ListenerLive question #2 – I'm having trouble staying asleep, and I'm looking for any advice on what I can do? (1:04:52)

• #ListenerLive question #3 – I'd like to shift my focus from weight loss to body composition: reverse dieting, building muscle, maybe even doing my first bulk. But with the GLP-1 and HRT, I'm unsure how to approach maintenance calories, whether to taper off the medication, and how to set myself up to build muscle. What would you suggest as my next step? (1:14:27)

• #ListenerLive question #4 – Are there specific exercises or strategies you recommend to improve balance and maintain an aesthetic look despite this permanent limitation due to my trap injury? (1:24:44)
