Starting GLP-1 therapy is not a small decision. It sits closer to relocating to a new city than it does to trying a new supplement. You rebuild routines from scratch. Habits that used to fit your life stop fitting. Your relationship with food shifts in ways you don't fully anticipate going in. None of that is bad, but it is a lot, and it deserves real thought before you commit.

Which is why going in informed is the whole point.

Our Registered Dietitian Camille Nicole put together a thorough breakdown of the clinical trial data on semaglutide vs. tirzepatide, the criteria she applies before supporting a prescription with a patient, and a readiness quiz you can bring to your doctor to start the real conversation.

We're not here to advocate for GLP-1s or to argue against them. Just the research, the data, and a starting point.

A Registered Dietitian breaks down tirzepatide vs semaglutide for weight loss, what the trials show, and when a GLP-1 prescription actually makes clinical sense.

Your training plan at AFS is built in four phases. Each one builds on the last, and the order is not an accident.

We just published the first in a four-part series that explains the science behind how your program works without any jargon or guesswork.

Issue 1 breaks down the foundation phase: what your body is building in those early weeks and why it sets up everything that comes after. Issues 2 through 4 cover hypertrophy, strength, and absolute strength.

If you've ever wondered why your program looks the way it does, this one's for you.

Learn why every AFS strength training plan begins with a strength endurance phase and what those first 6 weeks are actually building toward.

Protein powders. Greens powders. Creatine. Fat burners. "Detoxes."

The supplement aisle is confusing, and social media makes it worse. Health hacks, influencer stacks, and miracle claims everywhere you scroll.

So what does the science actually say?

Join AFS CEO and exercise physiologist Mike Stack and Registered Dietitian Camille Pearce for a free, live, myth-busting conversation on which supplements have legitimate value, which are mostly hype, and how any of it fits into the bigger picture of your long-term health.

If you've ever wondered "do I actually need supplements?" or "is this influencer product legit?" this one's for you.

"Stop eating after 8pm or you'll gain weight and sleep badly."

Most of us absorbed that rule somewhere along the way. When you look at where it came from, it turns out to be an oversimplification of a few real findings about portion size and food quality, not the hour on the clock.

A small, well-chosen snack can actually help you sleep. Tart cherries, two kiwis, a little oatmeal, a handful of almonds. And yes, warm milk really does contain melatonin.

Our Registered Dietitian Camille breaks down what helps, what to skip, and how to find your caffeine cut-off time in the full guide:

A quick recovery cheat sheet from Camille Nicole: pair a carb with protein within 30 to 60 minutes of finishing. That post-workout hunger is your body asking to refuel. Full guide linked in the comments.

Not all hunger is created the same. Your body is sending you hints about what it needs, and it can be difficult to translate sometimes. Camille Nicole created a Rosetta Stone to help you recognize what your body is telling you after a workout, and what to do about it.

Ravenous an hour after the gym? Post-workout hunger is normal. Learn what it means and what to eat to recover well, from an AFS dietitian.
