Phil helped me with my workouts, I was afraid to push more weight because of my injuries but that’s what helped me feel a lot better. I listen to all of his podcasts now!

Phillip Pape does a fantastic job breaking down the fitness industry and helping listeners navigate weight loss more effectively. His recent episode on how carbs, fats, and proteins function in the body was especially insightful. I highly recommend this podcast for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of fitness and nutrition!

just found Philip and love the podcast. Terrific source to learn how to be a more efficient exerciser and find a way to maintain fitness in a different developmental phase of my life. Most recent episode about walking versus running was an eye opener.
Love the vantage point

Love the researched based advice and the vantage point from an engineer- feel like we speak the same language. Super informative if you’re looking to learn how to actually learn how the body works so you can create the adaptations you desire and not waste time on lies and fad diets. Def worth a listen!
