Summary
It’s Microdose Monday on Fitness Stuff for Normal People which means Marianna and Tony are rapid fire breaking down multiple topics you guys have been asking about instead of spending the whole episode on just one. This week, they’re diving into reverse dieting, why creatine might actually be one of the most underrated tools for fat loss, how coffee can impact your gut health, and the sneaky things nutrition labels hope you don’t notice. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by conflicting health advice online, this episode is packed with quick, practical breakdowns that actually make sense. Shorter topics, real explanations, and plenty of little “wait… WHAT?” moments along the way.
