Description
Fitness and nutrition conversations from ordinary dudes for regular people. This podcast explores the confusing landscape of all things health, from the experiences and perspectives of two lifelong friends that have tried it all. With tons of experts in the space - some more qualified than others and some sharing better information than others - we are bringing a non-biased, proudly uncertain, experience-based voice to curiously explore the world of fitness and nutrition in an effort to bring more people into the fold.
