If you've been cutting calories and grinding cardio to lose weight and it still isn't working — this episode is for you. Sal, Adam, and Justin break down why the cut-first approach is not just ineffective, it's actively working against you.

The message is clear: muscle is the variable that matters most. Then four callers join live for coaching on everything from Lyme disease and exercise anxiety to running a half...

Plus: California's new home kitchen law, rage rooms, the work-life balance myth, and four listener Q&As....
