How do you go about fine-tuning something like fat loss? Once you’ve made the major adjustments, where do you go from there?
This week we’ll be discussing just one part of the puzzle – hormone optimisation. The various ways to measure and adjust your hormone production, in order to achieve better body composition. Helping us tackle this fascinating area is Personal Trainer and Strongman Josh Hewett, alongside Personal Trainer Kirk Fontaine. Should be a great one – see you there.

There are three basic ways to watch this (depending on whether you want to join us on the Hangout and ask a question or two, or just sit back and take it all in) – full details here.
