In this solosode, you'll get the latest research on the questions I hear most: whether the peptide BPC 157 can cause cancer, the body fat percentages people rate most attractive for men and women (and how low is too low), how a "dad bod" before conception can affect your future kids' health, how "myo-reps" deliver the same strength and size gains in a fraction of your gym time, and whether creatine is bad for your kidneys. You'll hear why BPC 157's blood-vessel growth is not the same as the way cancer feeds a tumor and why healthy tissue has nothing to fear from it, how excess body fat quietly lowers testosterone, and why the most attractive body fat ranges line up almost perfectly with the ranges that support healthy testosterone, fertility, and a long life. You'll also walk away with the body fat targets actually worth aiming for, a simple way to shorten your time in the gym, and the creatine myths you can finally stop worrying about.
