from The Mind Muscle Connection Hosted by Jeff Hoehn
Welcome to the Mind Muscle Connection Podcast! A lot of people spend years trying to find the “perfect” calorie target and then stay there forever. The problem is your body adapts over time, and what works in one phase of the year may stop working in another. In this episode, I break down My Case For Periodizing Your Nutrition. I also dive into metabolic adaptation, stress load, body recomp, muscle growth, fat loss phases, carb intake, and how to know when it’s time to push calories up or pull them back. If fat loss has stalled, your energy is low, or you feel stuck trying to maintain progress year round, this episode is a must-listen.
