Just isn’t the same level of vibe and knowledge without Chris. These guys seem like they’re more in it for monetary gain as opposed to a true desire and love of sport.
I listen to nearly ever show these guys put out. They’re fun, interesting, informative, knowledgeable, and have great camaraderie. I never feel like I’ve wasted my time listening. My only complaint is that the titles of the episodes lead me to believe that they are about to discuss some highly relevant topic in great detail. However, what general happens is that they start in on a topic and end up rabbit trailing on various aspects of it. Thereby only staying very surface. Don’t get me wrong, it... more
Great to hear the excitement of living purposefully and in a healthy mindset. Getting older it’s vital to stay moving and limber. Listening to the kids episode I have some feedback about family dinners. You guys glaze over its importance ( or unimportance) and state that the kids don’t sit still or throw food or knock chairs over. I have three boys 2,4,5 and we have had family dinners since day one. I knew that with hard work and repetitive behavior the kids would learn to eat their foods in a c... more
As an open-minded, academically trained endocrinologist who aggressively promotes lifestyle changes to optimize hormonal health I was disappointed by the episode on menopause. There was enough misleading info in that episode that I won’t be recommending this podcast to my patients. Please avoid making sweeping statements about hormones and conventional medicine - it weakens the potential power of your intended message.
I just listened to the episode about menopause and fitness with Dr. Abbie Smith-Ryan. I have weight trained for over 30 years, but I am realizing I definitely need to up my game with protein and also supplementation now that Im post menopausal. The entire episode was incredibly helpful and informative.
