They break down performance-enhancing drugs, SARMs, bloodwork, testosterone, and the importance of coaching—while also addressing the real health risks tied to lifestyle, cardiovascular health, and misuse. The episode also covers supplements that actually matter, genetics, training fundamentals, fasting, mental health, and Dr. Pat’s pursuit of his bodybuilding pro card.
