WHY MOST DIETS FAIL, THE DRAWBACKS OF SWITCHING YOUR TRAINING PROGRAM TOO OFTEN & DOES CARDIO KILL MUSCLE GAIN | COACHING Q&A WITH JEFF HOEHN

Author: Brandon DaCruz May 18, 2026 Duration: 1:44:40

In this month’s Q&A episode of the Chasing Clarity Health & Fitness Podcast, I’m joined once again by Jeff Hoehn for Episode 4 of our monthly series.


Each month, we answer your questions and break down the strategies that actually move the needle when it comes to improving your physique, your performance, and your overall health.


This episode is focused on the principles that separate trainees who see real change from those who train hard for years and never look any different.


Because cardio doesn’t kill your gains the way the internet says it does.


Most diets don’t fail because of metabolism, they fail because of execution.


And switching your training program every few weeks is one of the biggest reasons your physique looks the same year over year. 


It’s about understanding the physiology underneath these decisions, applying the right protocols at the right time, and giving your body the consistency it needs to actually change.


HERE’S WHAT WE COVER:

DOES CARDIO AFTER LIFTING PREVENT MUSCLE GROWTH & HOW TO PROGRAM IT THE RIGHT WAY

THE MOST COMMON DIETING MISTAKES THAT KEEP PEOPLE FROM ACHIEVING A LEAN PHYSIQUE

HOW TO MAINTAIN MUSCLE WHEN LIFE GETS HECTIC & TRAINING VOLUME HAS TO DROP

WHY SWITCHING YOUR TRAINING PROGRAM EVERY 4-6 WEEKS IS HOLDING YOU BACK

A BELIEF WE’VE CHANGED OUR MINDS ON IN THE LAST FEW YEARS


As always, this conversation blends physiology, research, and real-world coaching application so you can better understand what actually drives sustainable results.
