S 704: Beyond The Citations and Online Arguments: The Power of Integration and Application As A Fitness and Health Professional

I'll explain why a focus on implementation and application far exceeds mere theory and why I think this is a big problem. Topics include:   - One Of The Biggest Oversights In Functional Health - My Youtube Channel - Helping People Over Citing Studies - Irony Of Being The “Science” Guy - Integration and Application - Following The Science Means Still Being Wrong Sometimes - Please Share, Rate, and Review - Be Mindful Of The Ego ----------  Subscribe to My Youtube Channel:  https://youtube.com/@sammillerscience?si=s1jcR6Im4GDHbw_1 ----------  My Live Program for Coaches: The Functional Nutrition and Metabolism Specialization  www.metabolismschool.com ----------     [Free] Metabolism School 101: The Video Series http://www.metabolismschool.com/metabolism-101     ----------     Grab a Copy of My New Book - Metabolism Made Simple     ----------   Stay Connected:     Instagram: @sammillerscience     Youtube: SamMillerScience     Facebook: The Nutrition Coaching Collaborative Community     TikTok: @sammillerscience       ---------- “This Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.
