366: Carbs, Creatine, and Muscle, How I Support Body Composition | Solo Q+A
In this solo Q and A episode, I’m answering your most asked questions about how I actually support my body day to day. I walk you through my real morning routine, how I’m moving right now, why heavy lifting matters for body composition, and how I fuel workouts with protein, carbs, and whole foods without blood sugar crashes.
I break down how I think about carbohydrates for different activity levels, why lifting heavy changes your nutrition needs, and how I personally cycle starches to support muscle, energy, and long term metabolic health. I also share what movement looks like in this season of life, how I fit workouts into a full schedule, and why consistency beats perfection every time.
Topics Discussed:
→ What should I eat to support heavy weight lifting?
→ Do carbs help build muscle and improve workouts?
→ What is the best morning routine for body composition?
→ Which supplements support muscle, energy, and recovery?
→ How do I fuel workouts without blood sugar crashes?
