Listener Q&A: Correcting Overstressing and Questions About Carb Cycling, Hormetic Stressors, and Cholesterol (Breather Show with Brad)

View descriptionShare

We hit the Q&A hard with some really thoughtful and interesting questions on topics like:

How to correct feeling overstressed after workouts and does my Morning Exercise Routine run counter to the recommendation to avoid working the same muscle groups day after day? We also go over how MOFO can help boost testosterone, answer questions like is carb cycling an effective strategy?, and touch on second guessing hormetic stressors, as covered in my previous shows with Jay Feldman. Finally, one listener asks if an animal-based eater should try green powder and another asks about the myth that cholesterol increases in relation to egg consumption.
