1. What to do when TDEE calculators recommend 1200 calories—but that's just not sustainable.
2. The best training and nutrition strategies to reduce your risk of chronic diseases like cancer and heart disease.
3. When to use a mini cut vs. a traditional cut for fat loss.
4. Is it possible to "ruin" your metabolism, or is it just a myth?
