What up family, welcome to episode 103 of the Genius Life.

What's going on everybody, welcome to another bonus COVID-19 themed episode of the Genius Life.

If you guys know that I put up episodes every single Wednesday, and those episodes are more sort of evergreen in their content,

but I've been really making an effort to put up these bonus episodes every Monday so that you can start the week with

topical relevant information as it pertains to COVID-19, the social distancing mandates that we are all subjected to the social isolation, self-quarantining, and the like.

Last week on Monday, I had an episode with Dr. Drew Ramsey who is a psychiatrist all about staying mentally healthy during this time.

If you haven't yet listened to that, you should definitely go and check that out.

And the week prior to that, I had Dr. Molly Maloof who is an internal medicine physician, and we talked all about ways of supporting your immune system during this time.

So this episode of the show is going to be another bonus COVID-19 themed episode, and on it, I welcome my very good friend,

Sal DeStefano who is a fitness expert, a bona fide fitness expert. He's been a personal trainer for 20 years.

He's one of the three fitness experts that make up mind pump media. So if you are a fan of the Mind Pump podcast, he's one of the one of the main guys over there.

And I always have a blast talking to him because he's so smart, he's so practical and pragmatic in his advice, but he's also he's a science nerd like me.

So we go deep and this episode is going to be all about how to keep up with your fitness goals while self quarantined and sell offers a ton of really great advice.

We talk about ways of making your home workouts more effective, which is super crucial because you know, we don't have access to gyms these days.

We talk about ways of not, you know, gaining the COVID-15, gaining that extra fat because we all are spending a lot more time in the house, a lot more time in proximity to the kitchen.

And look, I'm, you know, I'm just as guilty of eating when I'm bored.

Then anybody else. So I mean, this is a, you know, I gained a lot personally from this chat as well. We talk about ways to stay disciplined.

Even one motivation is lacking, which I think is super, super, super important. And then at the end of the episode, we also each share our five favorite processed food, COVID-19 shopping hall items.

So like, you know, the kinds of things that we each, the non-negotiables that we each reach for when we make that once a week or once every other week trip to the supermarket.

So this is going to be a great chat. Sal is love the guy and I'm excited for you to listen to it. Before we dive in, I want to give a shout out to the sponsor of this episode of the show. And that is Birch Benders.

Birch Benders makes a line of really, really cool products. If you have not heard of them, I recommend checking them out. They make pancake and waffle mixes.

And I know what you're thinking, Max, how, you know, why are you promoting pancake and waffle mix? Well, they make keto and paleo pancake and waffle mixes that have really solid ingredients.
