    In this livestream, Scott McNally breaks down a powerful perspective from a medical doctor who is also a bodybuilder and PED user — sharing how to actually work with your doctor instead of against them. If you’ve ever been frustrated trying to get bloodwork, labs, or testing ordered, this episode explains why doctors push back — and more importantly, how to approach the conversation so you get taken seriously. Learn how to communicate your concerns, understand the system doctors operate in, and increase your chances of getting the testing you need as an enhanced athlete. After the main topic, Scott opens the floor to a full live Q&A covering bodybuilding, PEDs, diet, training, and more. If you’re serious about your health and progress, this is a must-watch.

    Ask Me Anything 7 How I Set Up a Fat Loss Diet & PEDs for Beginners | Live Q&A w/ Scott McNally

    If you’re not currently following a diet but want to start losing body fat, this livestream breaks down exactly how I would set up a fat loss diet from scratch. I design diets for clients every day, and in this stream I walk through the step-by-step process I use to get someone started the right way. After the main discussion we open things up to a live Q&A covering dieting, training, PEDs, and real-world bodybuilding questions. In this livestream we cover: • How I determine starting food • The first nutrition changes I make with clients • Protein, carbs, and fats for fat loss • Structuring meals for adherence • When to add cardio • When to add PEDs • The biggest mistakes people make starting a diet • How I adjust a diet when progress stalls This stream is especially helpful if you’re not following a plan yet and want to get lean for summer or start a proper fat loss phase. I work with bodybuilders and physique athletes helping them improve their training, nutrition, and PED protocols. This is the same approach I use when setting up diets for clients.
