Description

You used to crush two-a-days, eat whatever you wanted, and still stay lean. But now? The workouts are inconsistent, the scale keeps creeping up, and nothing seems to work the way it used to. In this episode, I break down exactly why ex-athletes struggle with a slower metabolism after sport—and more importantly, the proven strategies to reset your body, burn fat, and feel athletic again.

We’ll cover:

  • Why your metabolism isn’t “broken”—but it is adapted

  • The biggest mistakes ex-athletes make when trying to get back in shape

  • How to eat MORE (not less) to fire up your metabolism

  • The training shifts you need to make to actually see results again

If you’ve ever thought, “What happened to my body after I stopped playing?”—this episode will finally give you the answers and the plan forward.
