163: Martin Macdonald (@MartinNutrition) - What makes MNU different? + A discussion on PCOS

Today I have the pleasure of speaking with Martin Macdonald, founder of MNU (Mac Nutrition Uni). We talk about what makes MNU different from other courses, why it occupies a very special place in the “nutrition education” space, and frankly why it does so better than anyone else. Am I biased? You bet your ass I am 🤣. I am an MNU certified nutritionist and can’t speak highly enough about the course. If you’re interested in taking your career in nutrition seriously, there’s no better place to go....

Josh + Zac from Data Driven Strength Hypertrophy nerds unite. This one was super fun.

150: Bryan Boorstein - Two meatheads doing cardio - Why and how we're incorporating more zone 2 work into our routines

There’s going to be a good amount of overlap between this episode and last week’s episode with Dr. Alyssa Olenick but I think that’s fine since some of the content can be a little dense. Reinforcement won’t hurt! . Bryan and I go through the basics of zone 2 physiology and application and talk about WHY we’re starting to incorporate more of it at this point in our lives. . Since we’ve both spent the majority of the last decade training to be a full-time meathead, this gentle shift in goals has h...
