Episode 119: Best calorie tracking apps 11:49

Play Pause

1h ago11:49

11:49

I get asked all the time about calorie counting apps. What’s the “best” one? Honestly, it’s not about which app is the most accurate. The best app is the one you’ll actually stick with. I’ve played around with the big names like MyFitnessPal and Chronometer. They both have their pros and cons, different features and different vibes, but the key is …

7d ago11:19

11:19

I’ve been noticing electrolyte supplements popping up everywhere lately, so I wanted to chat about them. There’s a lot of hype, but also a fair bit of misunderstanding.

3M ago10:00

10:00

In this episode, I’m diving into a question I get all the time: “Is now a good time to try and lose weight?” And honestly, it’s such an important one to ask.

Episode 102: Will creatine make you bald? 8:14

5M ago8:14

8:14

I get asked about this all the time—does creatine cause hair loss? So I thought I’d clear the air.

Episode 94: Parasite Cleanses 6:41

7M ago6:41

6:41

So in this chat, I’m talking about parasite cleanses and some of the big misconceptions around them.
