Meal Timing, Protein Timing & Time-Restricted Feeding Strategies For Muscle Gain & Fat Loss: Solosode #491

Episode description
In this podcast, I kick things off by sharing a behind-the-scenes highlight from my recent trip to Washington, DC, where I attended the Make America Healthy Again Commission report presentation at the White House.
This experience was powerful, but also sobering, as the report shone a harsh light on the health crisis among our nation's youth—more than 40% of children have at least one chronic illness, and a staggering 70% of their daily calories come from ultra-processed foods. I discuss not just the causes of these issues, like environmental toxicity, digital addiction, and over-medicalization, but also my thoughts on where real change can and should occur.
By the end of this episode, you’ll have a clear blueprint for dialing in your nutrition, optimizing your training recovery, and using smart timing to boost your energy, fat loss results, and longevity.
