Used to be Worth While
This podcast went tremendously downhill in the last few years. If you want to listen to nonstop advertising and shilling of things that they sell, this is a great show for you. I can’t trust anything they say because it’s all just to sell you something. Save your time, don’t listen to this hour long advertisement.

2941: Are Artificial Sweeteners Bad for You | The Real Problem Nobody Talks About

Q: What is the practical takeaway for someone trying to manage weight with artificial sweeteners?

Use zero-calorie options as part of a larger strategy that focuses on consistent protein intake, overall caloric balance, and behavioral strategies, rather than relying on artificial sweeteners alone to drive weight loss.

2923: The Exact Formula to Build the Most Muscle You've Ever Built in 90 Days

Q: Is there a strategy to reduce protein farts when increasing protein intake?

If gas is due to dairy intolerance or a specific protein, switch to a better-tolerated protein (e.g., egg or beef protein) and consider using digestive enzymes that contain lactase and proteases; also ensure overall fiber intake supports digestion.

The Story Behind the Skincare Brand That Changed What Men Put on Their Face | Mind Pump

Q: What role did podcasts and direct-to-consumer marketing play in reaching men for skincare?

The Story Behind the Skincare Brand That Changed What Men Put on Their Face | Mind Pump

Q: How did the product development process differ from typical brands, and why did you choose proprietary formulations?

The Story Behind the Skincare Brand That Changed What Men Put on Their Face | Mind Pump
