In this episode, Greg and I dive deep into our latest body composition numbers—DEXA scans, ShapeScale heat maps, resting metabolic rate, and all the nerdy metrics we love. Greg's mid-prep and getting leaner by the day, and I'm jumping into a new experiment testing a 4:1 ketogenic ratio to see what happens to my metabolism with super high fat and minimal protein. It's basically the opposite of the “sugar diet” everyone's talking about.We also get real about the mental side of all this. Having a show on the calendar makes it easier to stay focused—but when you're in a building phase with no concrete goal, things get tricky. We talk about that tension, the psychology of food, and what it means to stay dialed in without burning out.On top of that, we get into testosterone levels, stress, and why lifestyle matters more than people want to admit. Spoiler: I've got “low” T according to the labs, but I feel great, recover strong, and still have plenty of drive—because I'm living with purpose.We wrap things up with Keto Brick restock updates (PB Tallow is coming back!), a teaser for a new flavor we might launch soon, and a quick life update as Crystal and I get ready for baby #2.If you're into keto, training hard, or just trying to stay sharp in and out of the gym, this one's worth a listen.Register For My FREE Masterclass: https://www.ketobodybuilding.com/registration-2Get Keto Brick: https://www.ketobrick.com/Subscribe to the podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/42cjJssghqD01bdWBxRYEg?si=1XYKmPXmR4eKw2O9gGCEuQ
