In this episode of the Diet Doctor podcast, I sit down with Ahmad Hraiche, a childhood friend, bodybuilder, and now a community leader and public speaker. Ahmad reflects on his journey from bodybuilding as a young man to navigating the balance between physical health and spiritual well-being. We discuss the toxicity of body dysmorphia, the influence of social media on self-image, and the dangers of shortcuts in fitness, like unregulated performance-enhancing substances. Ahmad shares his insights from the unique perspective of working as a Muslim undertaker, providing powerful lessons about life, priorities, and what truly matters in the end. This episode is a thought-provoking exploration of health, discipline, and purpose, reminding us to focus on our holistic well-being while leaving behind a meaningful legacy.
