Perfect chemistry w/ these 2, great mix of scientific research combined with fun topics like bbq, scotch, and camping. By the way I’m convinced now that camping is definitely not a vacation
I love that a question about intermittent fasting is backed up by these 2 with case studies and data to make a great point. Awesome content shedding light on current topics in the fitness industry.
