In this week's podcast episode, I dive deep into the debate between animal-based and plant-based proteins for muscle growth.
Is one truly better than the other? Many believe animal protein is superior, but there’s more to the story. I explore how protein density, amino acid profiles, and bioavailability differ between these sources, and why total protein intake might actually be the most crucial factor.
I also break down the role of leucine in muscle synthesis and discuss why getting enough of this amino acid is key—no matter where your protein comes from. I

In this week's podcast episode, I dive into the top 10 muscle-building myths I used to believe, and why they were totally wrong.
One of the biggest? The idea that you need to “bulk” to gain muscle—when in fact, you can build muscle at maintenance or even in a slight deficit if you focus on key factors like training intensity and recovery.
I also debunk the myth of “muscle confusion” and explain why constantly changing exercises can actually slow your progress.
Plus, I cover the truth about the anabolic window and why more sets and volume don’t always equal more muscle.

Have you heard of Gary Brecka before? You probably have...
He's been making waves in the health space lately, but honestly, some of his claims are just plain ridiculous and not backed by science.
One of the most shocking is his statement that "Celsius energy drinks contain 4x the daily allowable amount of cyanide."
Basically, he's calling it pure poison!
In this week's podcast, I break down this wild claim and explain why it's completely false, using solid science to back it up.
I dig into how our bodies detoxify cyanide and get rid of it through urine, why it's crucial to understand that the dose makes the poison, and how avoiding all toxic compounds is nearly impossible.
Plus, I do a deep dive into the actual cyanide content of Celsius drinks to see if there's really anything to worry about.
I hope you enjoy it!
