Excellent podcast

Recently found this podcast and really enjoy it! Loved your conversation with Maggie and Brad Jones about her journey surviving cancer after given a 1% survival rate. The information shared in this episode is so incredibly valuable and hopeful. What really resonated with me was the importance of our diet, especially a ketogenic diet. Looking forward to their documentary! Thank you for the tons of amazing takeaways to help people in this episode!

Great information and guests!

I was already using Peak Performance supplements when I learned about this podcast. The information and guests are great! I love the variety and relevance of the topics. The episodes are easy to listen to and not too lengthy. Especially loved episode 115 on how to sugar proof your kids. More kid-related episodes please! Thanks Peak Performance!
