The Case for Fasted Training (And Where It Breaks Down)Fasted training became popular for good reasons. In a fasted state, fat oxidation increases, insulin sensitivity is heightened, and some research suggests modest improvements in metabolic flexibility. For low-to-moderate intensity sessions — a morning walk, easy cardio, light accessory work — the tradeoffs are minimal.But that logic doesn't scale linearly. Once training intensity increases, the physiology changes entirely.What Actually Happens When You Push Hard Without FuelHigh-intensity and high-volume training relies heavily on glycolytic pathways — fast, carbohydrate-dependent energy systems. When glycogen stores are depleted or insufficient, the body doesn't simply switch...

Your Body Is Designed to Fight BackThe moment you reduce calories, your body interprets the deficit as a survival threat. This isn't metaphor — it's measurable hormonal activity. Ghrelin, the primary hunger-signalling hormone, increases in response to caloric restriction. At the same time, leptin — the hormone responsible for communicating satiety to the brain — begins to fall. The result is a compounding hunger signal that grows stronger the longer and deeper the deficit runs.This is why experienced dieters know that week three is harder than week one. The physiology doesn't adapt quickly. It pushes back.The Hormonal Mechanism Behind Diet...

The Problem No Coaching App Talks AboutThere are roughly 168 hours in a week. If you have a great coach, you might get one of them. The other 167 hours — the meals, the sleep decisions, the training modifications, the moments of fatigue and stress — those happen alone. That gap is where most people lose their progress. Not in the gym. Not in the plan. In the unsupported space between sessions.TroponinIQ was designed to close that gap. Not with generic advice, but with context-aware guidance built on the same methodology Justin applies to his in-person clients.What We Shipped This...

The Supplement Industry Has a Credibility Problem Walk into any supplement store and you'll find hundreds of products making performance claims. Most of those claims rest on a handful of small studies, funded by the manufacturer, conducted over a few weeks. The research landscape for most supplements is thin at best and misleading at worst. Creatine monohydrate is the exception. It has accumulated over three decades of independent, peer-reviewed research across thousands of subjects. Its mechanisms are understood. Its safety profile is established. Its efficacy is not a marketing position — it's a scientific consensus. How Creatine Actually Works During...
