Not accepting any assumptions
I love the conversational approach Michael and Kate have to breaking down health and fitness assumptions. It feels like I’m sitting at brunch just chatting with them about the day’s topic. They are asking questions and seeking real answers here. Love it.
Such good info!
I love that I am being presented with facts and then allowed to figure out what is best for me in my life with the facts that are presented. I always leave each episode feeling educated and empowered to make small incremental changes that will improve my overall health. If you want a magic diet pill, get fit quick scheme, or the newest fad routine maybe listen to a different podcast because all you’ll find here is long term solutions backed by science.
Evidence based, down to earth
