The Work Episode 17 - Natty or Not?

In this episode, Greg and I dive into the weeds of macro adjustments, cut phases, and how calorie targets shift as your metabolism adapts. Greg's in the thick of a prep cut and starting to feel it—so we break down how hunger and energy change over time and why pushing through is part of the process.

We also unpack:

  • What makes coaching actually helpful (and where most coaches fall short)
  • Why numbers without context can derail a client faster than under-eating
  • Lessons from tracking everything vs. learning to trust your body
  • The power of saying "no" to build confidence and clarity
  • Where we're headed with training, body composition, and long-term goals
  • This one's packed with real talk about mindset, data, and why we keep doing the work—especially when it's hard.
