Summary

Hey, hey beautiful human! Today we are diving into something I know you’ve seen all over your feed—fitness advice from TikTok.

 

And listen, I love a good scroll just like the next woman. TikTok has brought a lot of awareness to fitness and nutrition, which is great… but it’s also spread a lot of confusion. And honestly? Some of the most viral tips you’ve probably heard… are just plain wrong.

 

So in this episode of Embrace Your Real, I want to set the record straight on three major fitness trends that TikTok has gotten totally wrong. Because I don’t want you wasting time, energy, or mental stress following advice that’s not actually helping you build the body you want.

 

What I discuss:

  1. The importance of structured strength training.

  2. How Carbs can actually help with recovery and sleep.

  3. Why Spot targeting fat loss isn’t a thing.

  4. Progressive overload and rest are key.
