Glute Nutrition Exposed: The Scams, Science, and Surprising Truths About Carbs, Protein, and Supplements

Welcome to the Glute Nutrition Revelation!

Episode Description:

🍑 Want to grow your glutes without falling for fitness lies? This episode is your anti-BS guide to cutting through the noise, myths, and shady marketing plaguing glute nutrition.

We’re tackling the top 10 myths that sabotage your gains—from toxic protein obsessions and carb-phobia to detox scams and overpriced “glute pills.” You’ll learn:

Why eating 200g of protein daily is a waste (and how to hit the exact amount your muscles need).
The truth about carbs (spoiler: your glutes crave them for explosive growth).
Why “grass-fed” and “organic” labels don’t matter for muscle-building (but your wallet will notice).
The only 3 supplements worth your money (and the $50B industry lying to you about the rest).

With science-backed truths, hilarious myth-busting, and actionable takeaways, we’ll expose:

🔥 How the supplement industry preys on your insecurities.

🔥 Why keto influencers are wrong about carbs and glute “flatness.”

🔥 The real reason detox diets are a scam (your liver is already a pro).

Spoiler: Your glutes don’t care if your chicken is grass-fed or your diet is gluten-free. They care about protein timing, glycogen stores, and leucine thresholds—and we’re breaking it all down in plain English.

🎙️ Perfect for you if:

You’ve wasted money on “booty builder” supplements.
You’re confused about how much protein you actually need.
You want glute gains without the bro-science or bullsh*t.
