We are coming in spicy today. I might start screaming once or twice.  I may go on a tangent or 7.  Is fitness really any better that it was 20 years ago?  Have we turned it into a democratized exploitation with real people representing brands?  Are we still overly focused on aesthetics?  Am I part of the problem?  Thanks for listening!

This candid episode covers my complete 180s (or 90s in some cases) on meal timing, m...

But alas, everything ends on a positive note. Lov...
