NLP664 - TRT Acne, Fat Loss Soreness, Deficit sleep issues, Coaching vs Therapy & More Q & A

In this month's Q&A episode, Brad and Craig dive into your questions and keep it real with no fluff—just honest insight and actionable advice.

We cover a wide range of topics, including:

Why you might be getting extra sore in a calorie deficit and how to adjust your training accordingly
What to do when life feels like you're chasing your tail and stuck in circles
The hardest things we've ever done—and what we learned from them
How to deal with acne after starting testosterone replacement therapy (TRT)
What to do after a bad day (or weekend) of eating—without spiraling
The key differences between therapy and coaching and how to know which one you need
Whether it's time to reverse back to maintenance calories if your sleep is seriously suffering

This one's a mix of mindset, hormones, lifestyle, and coaching wisdom. If you've ever had one of these questions cross your mind, this episode is for you.
