You Think You’re Healthy… But Your Bloodwork is Lying

For customized coaching and accountability: https://app.youform.com/forms/db9hpmyz Can bodybuilders actually be healthy? Most guys think they are—until their bloodwork says otherwise. In this episode, I sat down with Dr. Dwayne Jackson (PhD in neurovascular physiology, former open-class bodybuilder) to break down what’s really happening inside enhanced athletes. He didn’t just study this—he lived it. And it cost him a kidney. We cover: ✅ The one test that actually tells you if your kidneys are failing ✅ Why your blood pressure protocol probably isn’t working ✅ What’s actually killing bodybuilders (it’s not what you think) ✅ Why getting bigger eventually starts working against you ✅ What retatrutide is really doing to your nervous system Follow me on Instagram:   / ajbuuck   Dr. Jackson:   / drdnjackson   Timestamps: 0:00 – Teaser 0:38 – Why “healthy = more muscle” (and where bodybuilders get it wrong) 7:22 – Bubble gut, nerve damage, and why physiques decline over time 18:26 – Identity shifts across a bodybuilding career 19:21 – The best way to actually monitor kidney health 26:44 – Fixing high blood pressure (diet, habits, drugs) 33:52 – Why bulking may be more dangerous than cutting 41:19 – Retatrutide and sympathetic overdrive 45:52 – Why this catches up with you later 51:15 – Risk-taking and addictive traits in bodybuilding 56:00 – The strength vs longevity tradeoff 1:01:07 – Adapt or break: long-term success #Size #Fitness #Transformation #Bodybuilding #Strength
