Welcome to a special Thanksgiving edition of Weird Q&A, where I answer three offbeat questions about health and fitness, covering nutrition, training, and mindset. Have a weird question you'd like answered? Send me a text message, and I'll tackle it on the show!

Today's questions:

  1. Does eating turkey on Thanksgiving really make you sleepy because of the tryptophan?
  2. Can you gain weight just by smelling delicious Thanksgiving food all day?
  3. Is pumpkin pie a good pre-workout food because of its carbohydrate content and spices?
