| 0:05.2 | And I'm Mariana. And let's be real. The fitness industry right now, it kind of sucks. |
| 0:10.4 | It's become something that is entirely based on doing whatever you can to drive page views or clicks. |
| 0:16.4 | Really just directing attention away from the things that actually matter. So no, we're not just trying to provide you with another fitness podcast, but actually |
| 0:24.2 | give you the knowledge and tools so you have the confidence to apply the best possible |
| 0:28.6 | training and nutrition into your own life. |
| 0:32.0 | Where today we are talking about the five most misunderstood topics in health and fitness, from seed oils to sugar |
| 0:40.2 | and insulin, to cortisol and fat burning. These are some of the most talked about and heavily |
