Great pod but the young blowhard…

This is a great podcast, and it is my favorite when it comes out, but the young guy is quite the virtue singling blowhard. I guess that’s OK. It’s just an observation.

Great insight

I listen to a lot of health and wellness podcast. I just went to the KetoCon conference in Austin, listened to a lot low-to-no carb speakers. While there may be some people to excel in the no carb world, I can’t as a cyclist. This podcast does a good job of highlighting the difference between eating and fueling for endurance competition. Great job.
