MindPump exposes the RAW TRUTH about health, fitness, nutrition and more... Hosts Sal Di Stefano, Adam Schafer & Justin Andrews pull back the curtain on the mythology, snake oil and pseudo-science that pervades the fitness industry and present science-backed solutions that result in increased muscular development and performance while simultaneously emphasizing health. No fitness institution or fitness "truth" is safe from their quick wit and over 40 years of combined experience in the fitness industry. Produced by Doug Egge.

Customer Reviews
The only podcast I listen to
It's literally the only podcast I listen to.
I work as a truck driver and I listen to these guys when I drive and honestly they keep me entertained and engaged.
I feel like they're some of the only people in the world that keep me interested and sane.
Love the intelligent conversations, the banter and just the unfilteredness.
Some of the only people in the world I find to be authentic and that I would trust even amongst people I know.
Generational Game Changers
These guys are the change we need in the health and wellbeing world. Sensible and sustainable advice to get everyone to grow into the best versions of themselves, physically and mentally. Also love the conspiracy theories! Thank you Adam, Doug, Justin and Sal.
