In this week's episode, I'm sharing my latest recommendations, recapping my low-key weekend, and answering your questions!
✨ Q: How much does nutrition influence the volume you gain and what about strength? I find it tiring to track everything but I have more or less an idea of how many proteins I need to eat and I do that?

✨Q: How should I handle nutrition when I’m awake for 2 hours in the morning before I’m able to work out If I don’t like working out on a full stomach? Pre-workout or small protein bar?

✨Q: I’m pregnant and OB said don’t lift more than 40lbs. I was already dialling in my training to not push too hard but this recommendation feels arbitrary. How do I keep lifting safely?

✨Q: If you could do anything else professionally, what would you do?

✨Q: Keeping in mind that lifting/fitness is equal parts health and aesthetics, why are coaches often triggered when someone like me that gets big with training gets to a point where they don’t want to grow anymore muscle?

✨Q: Is it bad to force myself to eat if I know I’m under-eating my maintenance (and I’m not trying to lose weight)?

✨Q: How much fat should the average female consume for healthy hormone levels? 5’4 130lb for reference.
