Welcome to the Mind Muscle Connection Podcast!

Whether you need to eat before a workout depends on the type of training you’re doing. In this episode, I break down how I approach pre-workout nutrition with clients for both body composition and performance, including when training fasted makes sense, when it can hold you back, and what to eat if you do have something beforehand.

I also cover how your timing changes based on when you train and why heavy meals high in fat and fiber can hurt your session. I get into how lifting and cardio are different, what to watch out for in a fat loss phase, and why fueling for sports and events works a little differently. 

If you’ve always trained fasted, or you feel like you have to slam a big meal before every session, this episode is for you.
