 On Episode 13 of the Philosophical Weightlifting podcast I was joined again by Greg Farris. Greg is the founder of Myobrain, an online coaching service dedicated to providing personable coaching with scientific, evidence-based plans for fat loss, muscle gain and performance.  Greg received his B.S. in Health Promotion from Emporia State University and went on to obtain a M.A. in Dietetics from The University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center.
