Description

Are you doing all the "right" things in the gym but not seeing the results you want? You're not alone. And chances are, you've been misled. This week, we get real about what actually builds muscle, how much protein women really need, and whether Pilates and Emsculpting are worth the hype. 


Dr. Shannon Ritchey, a physical therapist and founder of Evlo Fitness, joins us as we cut through misinformation, misleading marketing, and muscle myths with evidence-based clarity. We break down strength training for women, the role of creatine and protein, and why consistency beats perfection.
