Coach Tanner - Squatch Strength

𝐍𝐨 𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞.
Just a proud coach bragging.

This one has no deeper meaning.
No exercise science.
No nutrition tips.
Just me as a coach being genuinely proud of these clients.

Three and a half months in.
Phase two.
Every single one of them is learning, adapting, pivoting when life gets in the way, and not missing a beat.

I would brag on my entire roster at once, but nobody wants to sit through a video that long.

Everybody gets their rotation.
And nobody is doing better than anybody else.

I just happen to be really proud of these ones today.

If you're on HRT, especially a protocol with a testosterone component, this is a conversation worth having.

Testosterone, even bioidentical, accelerates red blood cell production.

The difference is that those cells don't come from the same regulatory feedback loop your bone marrow normally uses to keep things balanced.

That hemocrit level is important to keep an eye on.
And when it climbs unchecked, it becomes a cardiovascular risk most women on protocol aren't always told to monitor.

Because not every provider considers it.

Donating every eight to twelve weeks is one of the simplest things you can do to manage it.

It costs you nothing.
It helps someone else.
And it keeps your numbers where they need to be.

I started my own TRT journey six months ago after medications I was on as a kid quietly dismantled my endocrine system by the time I hit my mid thirties.

This isn't something I talk about from a distance.

If you have questions about your labs or your protocol, my DMs are open.

Let's build something just... Informed.

Meal prep blows [insert derogatory appendage]!

Straight up.
Almost NOBODY loves it, despite what they say.

Until you're standing over the counter on a week night, throwing together keto pizza with what you mostly already have.

Which is great, because I'm a disgusting human that likes weird flavor combinations.

So tonight is meat-prepped shredded pork turned BBQ pizza (with pickles) & a semi-supreme with said ground turkey.

I already had most of the veggies and sauces hanging around.

That just meant a quick trip for cottage cheese, keto bread, and pizza sauce.
That's it.

Tonight's dinner is basically free because past me did the one hard thing.

Cooked the protein.
Seasoned it multiple ways.
And waited for the mood for certain dishes to strike.

Let future you figure out the rest.
Future me is eating pizza tonight.
Future me is thriving.

Let's build something just... Prepared to be lazy.

Messy Action >>> Stagnation

Always.

'Nuff said.

Hashtag mic drop?

𝐎𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐕𝐨𝐬𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐟𝐚𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐬.
The bougie wellness practitioners won't let this one die.

This time comes back full circle every single decade.

Your body already has a detox system.

It's called your liver and kidneys.

They work around the clock whether you're "cleansing" or not.

And autophagy?

The research showing meaningful autophagy benefits is largely tied to clinical contexts.
Chemo patients.
Serious metabolic disease.

Not Linda trying to drop 10 lbs before her cruise.

You don't need to starve yourself to lose weight.
You need a calorie deficit that progresses in a manner that's in line with your goals.

That's it.

Save this.
Send it to someone spiraling down a wellness rabbit hole.

Let's build something just... Sustainable.
