Most advice for women online is some version of "cycle sync your macros & training". But, what do men and women really need to do differently to reach their goals? Here's what I've actually seen work with 400+ clients (mostly women) over the last 6 years: most of that advice is noise. Especially if you're on birth control.

In this episode I break down the real differences (and the surprising similarities) between men and women when it comes to nutrition and training. No influencer hacks, seed cycling, or cycle syncing. Just what I actually do with my clients.

You'll learn:

• Why cycle syncing mostly goes out the window if you're on birth control, and what to focus on instead
• The universal habits that drive results for both men and women, and the parts that actually need to be individualized
• How I use symptoms like energy, hunger and mood to dial in a plan, instead of defaulting to generic advice
• Why "find what works for you" is the wrong framing, and what to do instead
• And a lot more.

If you want to stop guessing and start building what actually works for you as an individual, and you're curious how 1:1 coaching and the OCS Process can help you get there, DM "COACH" to @johanvesters_ocs on Instagram for a free Discovery Call.
