Iron Sights

In this episode of the Iron Sights Podcast, we’re diving into a unique conversation about nutrition and culture. This one’s a bit different—more esoteric and thought-provoking—as we explore the beliefs behind food choices, why we make them, and how they can help or hurt in the long run.We also discuss the impact of following specific diet tribes, what that means for your health and wellness, and how it shapes your mindset over time. It’s all about gaining perspective and thinking differently about how you approach nutrition and overall well-being.25% OFF!
