We are not what we eat. We are what we digest.
In other words, you can eat all the steak in the world, but if your gut can't break it down and absorb it, you're just making expensive s***s.
If you're trying to put on real size but you're bloated, crampy, or just not growing no matter how much you choke down, this one's for you. Kara and I break down how to fix your digestion so the food you're eating turns into muscle instead of misery, me on the training and getting-big side, her on the gut and clinical side.
Here's some of what we get into:
The stomach-acid myth: why the Tums, Nexium, & PPI habit leaves big eaters absorbing LESS, plus the "betaine challenge" to build your acid back up
Why the 6-to-8-meals-a-day rule muscletech and the OG fitness YouTubers sold us all quietly wrecks your absorption, and why fewer, bigger meals grow you faster
The frankenfoods (SPAF: S*** Posing as Food) quietly bombing your gut, and Kara's dead-simple 90% one-ingredient-foods rule
Leaky gut in plain English: what's actually leaking, and the morning gut cocktail we start clients on
How to run your fiber & whole foods totally different on a cut vs a bulk
The enhanced-guy reality: how GH, insulin, & reta slow your gut down, why "HGH gut" happens, and how to eat around it
Why a short walk after meals helps you grow, and why the TikTok "walking kills your gains" take is nonsense
Fix the gut first, and everything you eat and everything you run finally has somewhere to go.
