Trensparent with Nyle Nayga

A self-improvement podcast using bodybuilding as a lens for frank discussions on PEDs, mental health, and discipline.

The brief

This is a highly technical, long-form interview show for the hardcore bodybuilding community. It bypasses surface-level fitness advice for frank, detailed discussions about performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs), contest prep protocols, and the psychology of elite competitors. The host and his expert guests dive into specific compounds, dosages, blood work analysis, and the unfiltered realities of pushing the human body to its limits.

The show's defining feature is its 'trensparency'—a commitment to openly discussing the specifics of PED use, including compounds, dosages, and side-effect management, which are often taboo topics in mainstream fitness media.
