How to Build Muscle and Shed Fat with Personalized Fitness
High effort does not always lead to better results.
In this episode, I sit down with Gianluca Boldarin, also known as Coach Bold. With over 20 years of experience coaching elite athletes, he now works with high-income business owners and executives. We break down why eating less and training more stops working when stress is high, why many men under-fuel with protein and nutrient-dense foods, and why tools like TRT, peptides, and GLP-1s fall short when the basics are missing. This conversation is about building real strength, improving body composition, and staying healthy in a way that actually fits a demanding life
Tune in now for a smarter, long-term approach to training, nutrition, and performance.
