Think diet and exercise are the key to fat loss and muscle growth? Think again. Most people don’t realize that poor sleep could be the reason they’re struggling to see results. Bad sleep slows fat loss, increases muscle loss, spikes cravings, and wrecks recovery. In this episode, I break down exactly why sleep is just as important as diet and training, how it affects your metabolism and hunger, and the science-backed strategies to improve it for better results. If you’re training hard and eating well but still not progressing, your sleep might be missing. Listen now to find out why.

What if everything you thought about dieting was actually working against you? In this week's episode, I sit down with Joelle Cavagnaro, an expert in exercise science and founder of Levelution Coaching, to talk about the mental and physical traps that keep people stuck in the cycle of extreme dieting and frustration.

In this week's podcast episode, I break down the science of fat loss—not just the importance of a calorie deficit, but how your body actually processes and burns energy.  We dive into what calories really are, how your body converts food into energy, and why understanding energy balance is crucial for sustainable weight loss.  I also tackle common fat loss misconceptions, like whether hormones override calories, why eating "clean" doesn’t guarantee weight loss, and why some people think they’re in a deficit but aren’t seeing results.  Plus, I give you a step-by-step guide to setting up your calories and macros, tracking progress effectively, and adjusting when needed—so you can lose fat without extreme diets or frustration.  If you’ve ever been confused about fat loss or struggled to see results, this episode will give you the clarity you need.
