What up everyone? Welcome back to the fitness stuff for normal people podcast.

Honestly, the fitness industry, it kind of sucks.

Actually, it really sucks.

And we just want to make it suck a little bit less.

Instead of following every new trend that pops up almost weekly at this point,

the goal of what we're doing with this podcast is to actually give you the knowledge and tools

so you have the confidence

to apply the best possible training and nutrition into your own life.

Where today, everyone knows that lifting weights is the single best form of training

for building muscle, for losing fat, and for getting stronger.

But what about depression?

What about for enhancing your ability to learn,

your memory, and every other aspect of your cognition? What about the different measures of your

metabolic health, your endocrine or hormone system? And straight up, how long you actually live?

There's no such thing as a magic pill or panacea that can solve all of your health and physique

problems,

but lifting weights might just be the closest thing to it. Today, we're digging through the

science of all the other aspects of your health that lifting weights impacts, and even if you

don't give a flying about your physique, why lifting weights is probably one thing you shouldn't

live without. But before we get to that, if you aren't following us on Spotify and you're listening to us on Spotify, what are you doing right now? Pull over if you're driving or just sit back.
