  • Excellent podcast, thrilled to see it return

    In a digital ecosystem filled with fantastic claims and low quality information, FitMind podcast remains a beacon of clarity and insight. This show rocks, it’s a rational inquiry into some of the most interesting and useful areas of human experience.
