In this episode, I’m joined by Andrew Coates to unpack the current state of the fitness industry and the explosion of health information online. We discuss why even experts don’t agree, how social media rewards status games over nuance, and why over-optimising your approach can stall real progress.
We also dive into the future of trends like the carnivore diet, the evolution of GLP medications, and why many people wrongly believe they’re the exception when it comes to calorie expenditure.
