There’s a side of bodybuilding and performance enhancement that few people talk about—the reality behind the aesthetics, the sacrifices, and the mental battles that come with chasing the perfect physique.


In this episode, fitness expert and NASM-certified coach Dylan Gemelli talks about high-level bodybuilding, biohacking, and performance enhancement. He’s spent years studying SARMs, peptides, and steroids—and he’s got the experience to break down what works, what’s a bad idea, and how to think long-term about health and fitness.


If you’ve ever been curious about how elite athletes build muscle, the science behind metabolic flexibility, or what biohackers can learn from bodybuilders, this episode is packed with real talk and expert insights.




"The people that you think look the best, the bodybuilders, the people that model and everything, we're the worst. We've got the most issues, the most trouble with how we look, and the pressure." ~ Dylan Gemelli
