SLAY You’re Not Tired — You’re Weak (The Truth About Strength & Fat Loss) | Dr. Andy Galpin | Ep 161
What if the reason everything feels hard… isn’t your fitness — but your strength?
In this episode of Slay, Louise Hazel sits down with world-renowned performance scientist Dr. Andy Galpin to break down the real physiology behind strength, recovery, fat loss, and human performance.
This conversation will completely change how you think about training.
We cover:
• What strength actually is (and why most people misunderstand it)
• Why things feel “hard” — and how to fix it
• The biggest mistakes women make in training
• Strength vs cardio (and why they’re NOT opposites)
• The truth about fat loss (no fluff, no gimmicks)
• Why calorie counting isn’t the answer — but energy balance is
• How to get stronger without getting “bulky”
• The science of macronutrients explained simply
• GLP-1 drugs (Ozempic): truth vs hype
💥 Key takeaway:
You don’t get stronger by doing more — you get stronger by adapting better.
