Welcome back to the ancient health podcast. I'm super pumped to introduce our guest today.

Dr. Jay Tita is an integrative physician, author, and expert in the realm of natural health,

of strength and conditioning, hormonal metabolism, and the psychology of change and success.

He's written five books on metabolism and co-authored the exercise and sports nutrition chapters
