In this month's Q&A episode of the Next Level Health and Fitness Podcast, Craig Smith and I tackle a variety of listener-submitted questions, including the timing of cardio before or after workouts, the ins and outs of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), when to transition from a home gym to a regular gym, and tips for balancing a busy schedule as a new therapist with fitness, family, and other priorities. We also share our greatest fears and how these impact our fitness journeys. Tune in for practical advice, personal insights, and more!
