Description

I discuss the things that most people worry about when it comes to losing weight/fat and body transformation, but these don’t actually matter that much—cortisol and coffee, hormone imbalance, cutting out sugar, etc. I explain why these concerns are overblown and share with you the things you should focus on so you can make real progress toward your goals.
