🎙️ Episode 113: Why You Can't Eat Intuitively Until You Actually Learn How to Eat feat. Laura Savino

16.04.2026, 14:00

You’re eating “clean.” You’re trying to listen to your body. But somehow… you’re still hungry all the time.

So what gives?

Here’s the truth most people don’t realize:

👉 Your hunger cues aren’t broken…👉 They’re just being influenced by things you don’t understand yet.

In this episode, I sit down with coach Laura Savino to break down why your hunger signals might be completely misleading you and what to actually do about it.

We cover:

* Why you can’t intuitively eat until you learn how to eat

* How sleep deprivation can skyrocket hunger overnight

* Why meal timing (or skipping meals) leads to late-day binge cycles

* How your meal composition (protein, fiber, fats) determines how full you feel

* Why smoothies, “healthy foods,” and calorie cycling can make you hungrier, not leaner

* The real reason intuitive eating doesn’t work for fat loss

⚠️ If you feel like:

* You’re always hungry

* You’re “doing everything right” but not seeing results

* Your eating feels out of control by the end of the day

This episode will connect a LOT of dots for you.

Because fat loss isn’t about more discipline…It’s about understanding your body and the other inputs that affect it.

🎙️ Episode 112: Why Your Old Diets & Workouts Don’t Work Anymore

13.04.2026, 14:00

You’re not crazy…

And you’re definitely not broken.

But if you keep trying to do what worked for you 5, 10, or 20 years ago…

You’re going to stay stuck.

Because the truth is:👉 You’re not the same person you were back then👉 Your lifestyle, stress, and responsibilities are completely different👉 And your body’s ability to recover, adapt, and perform has changed too

In this episode, I break down:

* Why your “old plan” stopped working (even if it worked REALLY well before)

* How stress (work, life, kids, responsibilities) impacts fat loss and recovery

* Why doing more is often the thing holding you back

* The hidden reasons you feel stuck, burnt out, or constantly starting over

* What to focus on instead if you actually want results that last

⚠️ If you feel like you’re doing everything right but nothing is working…

There’s a reason for that.

And it’s probably not what you think.

🎙️ Episode 111: The Real Reason You’re Not Hitting Your Goals

09.04.2026, 14:00

You don’t need another plan.You don’t need more information.

You need to actually do the basics consistently.

Most people aren’t stuck because their body is broken…They’re stuck because they’re skipping the things that actually move the needle.

In this episode, I break down:

* Why doing more isn’t the answer (and often makes things worse)

* The fundamentals that actually drive fat loss, energy, and performance

* Where high performers tend to self-sabotage

* What “consistency” really looks like (it’s not perfection)

* How to simplify your approach so you can finally see results

⚠️ If you feel like you’ve “tried everything” but nothing is working… this episode is your reality check.

Because the truth is, it’s not about doing more.It’s about doing what works, consistently enough for it to actually work.

🎙️ Episode 110: The Dark Side of Getting Really Lean

06.04.2026, 14:00

Scroll social media for 5 minutes and it’ll convince you…

That this is what health looks like 👇🏼Super lean. Super shredded. Always “on.”

But what you don’t see?

What it actually takes to look like that.

And more importantly…What it costs you.

In this episode, I break down:

* Why social media has completely distorted what “healthy” actually looks like

* What it really takes to get that lean (and why it becomes your entire life)

* The impact extreme leanness has on your hormones, gut, sleep, and performance

* Why you’ll likely feel worse, not better, the leaner you get

* How chasing that physique can actually mess with your self-image long-term

⚠️ Here’s the truth:

The body you think you want…Usually requires a lifestyle you don’t actually want.

No flexibility.No spontaneity.No real balance.

And for most people?

That’s not health.That’s obsession.

🎯 Instead, we should be chasing:

A body that’s strong, energized, and sustainableA lifestyle that actually fits your real lifeAnd habits you can maintain without sacrificing everything else

If this episode shifts your perspective even a little bit—that’s the goal.

🎙️ Episode 109: How to Raise Your Testosterone Naturally (Before You Try TRT)

02.04.2026, 14:42

Low testosterone isn’t always a hormone problem…It’s usually a lifestyle problem.

And yet, so many people skip the basics and jump straight to TRT.

Here’s the truth 👇🏼If you’re not sleeping, constantly stressed, under-eating, overtraining (or not training at all)…your body is NOT going to prioritize hormone production.

In this episode, I break down:

* Why poor sleep can tank your testosterone (fast)

* How chronic stress suppresses hormone production

* The biggest nutrition mistakes I see (under-eating, low fat, extreme dieting)

* Why strength training is essential (and how much you actually need)

* The role of daily movement + sunlight

* When it actually makes sense to consider TRT

⚠️ Most people don’t need more hormones…They need better habits.

🎯 If you want to feel stronger, leaner, more energized, and actually support your body long-term—this episode is for you.
