NLP717 - TRT Not Working, Getting Back in Shape, Cold Plunges Overrated, and Breaking Self-Limiting Beliefs + more. Q&A

In this episode, Craig and I dive into our monthly listener Q&A — covering a mix of mindset, fitness, and lifestyle topics that hit close to home for a lot of people.

We covered everything from testosterone therapy and self-limiting beliefs to training styles, getting back in shape after falling off, and whether cold plunges are actually worth the hype.

Some of the questions we tackled include:

Testosterone only went up 10 points after 9 months on TRT — does that seem off?
What are our own personal self-limiting beliefs and how have we learned to work through them?
Which is more optimal: circuit-style training or traditional hypertrophy work?
If you were in great shape years ago but have since fallen off, what's the very first step to take to get back on track?
Our honest take on cold plunging — effective or overrated?

This episode is a blend of science, experience, and real talk — no fluff. Whether you're curious about optimizing your health or just looking for a little direction, this one's packed with insight.

Listen now to hear our raw, unfiltered answers and practical takeaways to apply in your own life.
