🎙️ “I Feel Better When I’m Fatter” Let’s talk about something most fitness pros don’t say out loud…

For years, I chased being leaner.

Under 15% body fat? That was the goal.

But instead? I felt like trash when I tried to stay there.

Sleep sucked. Mood crashed. Hunger never left.

Turns out, getting ultra-lean might look good… but it doesn’t always feel good - especially if your body’s fighting you to stay there.

In this video, I open up about:

Why 20% ish body fat is actually my optimal (not a failure)The science behind healthy body fat ranges for men + women

Why “shredded” ≠ sustainable for most people

Where the real risks of body fat actually lie (hint: it’s not a soft midsection, in fact the opposite)

How to reframe what success looks like in a world obsessed with aesthetics

This isn’t permission to throw in the towel. It’s permission to stop chasing extremes that break you — and build a body that works with you, not against you.
