Ep. #34 — Tommy John — GLP-1s, Bodybuilding & The Reality of Fitness
Description
Tommy John is a coach, bodybuilder, and former powerlifter who’s spent over 20 years in the trenches of strength and nutrition. He’s coached lifestyle clients, athletes, and competitors, and he’s seen the best and worst of what the fitness industry has to offer.
In this episode, we go deep on the reality of bodybuilding, coaching, and the rise of GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic. Tommy talks about eating 10,000 calories a day, walking away from powerlifting when his health started to fail, and why “boring and consistent” always beats hacks and shortcuts. We also dig into the pros and cons of GLP-1s, the mindset most people are missing, and how social media is changing the way we train.
It’s raw, honest, and full of real-world perspective from someone who actually lives it. Whether you’re chasing strength, trying to lose weight, or just figuring out how to take control of your health, this one will hit home.
