RNT Fitness Radio Ep 270 - The War On Obesity, Technology & The Future Of Fitness w/ Dr. Rusha Modi
This episode was originally recorded for the Alchemy of Politics podcast, hosted by Dr. Rusha Modi, who also happens to be a long-standing RNT member based out in California. I enjoyed the conversation so much we decided to share it across both platforms. In this turning of the tables, Rusha took a whole different approach to this interview, where we talked about the government’s response to Covid-19, the war on obesity that we’re losing, the future of the fitness space, plant-based eating, and who our real competitors are. A fascinating conversation I’m excited for you to dive into!
