The secret?

Certain foods trigger this exact same hormone response (minus the $1,000 price tag or the "Ozempic face.")

Here are 6 ways to maximize your natural GLP-1:

I've spent over 2000 hours in the gym over the last 8 years.

Here are 41 Training Tips I wish I knew when I first started.

🧵

1. Use the gym to build muscle and nutrition to drop fat. For best results, ensure every part of your training is optimized toward this.
Too many people confuse the two and get mediocre results.

2. Stop 'winging it'. With no plan, you will spin your wheels and waste months or years with little to no progress.

After 8 years Training and Coaching, here is every piece of fat loss advice I could come up with:

1. Stop drinking alcohol. Alcohol kills your metabolism, messes up hormones, increases hunger, and wrecks sleep. Minimize where possible to maximize results.

2. Discipline is the most overlooked asset for crushing your health and fitness goals. Learn to prioritize long term goals over short term gratification.

Pull Up Strength is an indicator for health and longevity.

But most people can't even do one.

Let's change that.

Here's the simple process I used to go from zero to pumping out weighted pulls ups:

= Thread = Pull Ups are a fantastic bodyweight exercise

Being able to do these is a show of strength, health and longevity...

But also they also develop your lats, traps, delts, and biceps.

But most can't even do one pull-up

Never fear. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Here's 21 fat loss mistakes you must avoid to get lean:

=Thread=

1. Using cardio instead of nutrition to lose fat. 2. Use Cardio as the key lever to get lean. You'll spin your wheels. Nutrition is always the primary answer for fat loss.

3. Changing the way you train. Training is to stimulate new muscle tissue and strength, NOT to lose fat. Why would you change this when leaning down? Avoid.
