In this episode I'm speaking with Dr. Stephan Guyenet about the science behind what is driving fat gain. We also cover the "is a calorie a calorie" question, address the role of sugar/carbs in obesity and diabetes and the role of the brain in regulating all of this.

Dr. Bret Contreras, a PhD in sports science and a renowned strength training expert, dives deep into the intricacies of fitness. He discusses the Smith machine's value, challenging traditional barbell methods. The importance of the mind-muscle connection in maximizing gains is highlighted, along with the complex relationship between training to failure and muscle hypertrophy. Bret also examines new findings on training volume, advocating for personalized approaches to optimize muscle growth and overall strength while tackling common fitness misconceptions.

In this episode I'm speaking with nutrition researcher and Director of Examine.com, Kamal Patel. We discuss the ethics of veganism, the potential benefits of a vegan diet and its pitfalls. We also cover topics like eggs, red meat, processed meat, omega-3s, the carnivore diet, advice for vegan lifters and much more!
