Summary
Welcome to a very special holiday episode! We started with our thoughts on a new study on protein intake that challenges everything we previously thought about protein metabolism. It's one of our favorite studies of all time, and it's destined to reshape the field of nutrition science! But the bulk of the episode was reading from "secrets" sent in by listeners. Some were on athletics and running; many others were about different things entirely. We think these secrets provide a beautiful window into what we're all dealing with in life, and hopefully it makes you all feel a bit better about existence.
We're talking running, relationships, confidential crushes, bodily fluids, and so much more! Get ready for lots of laughs (and maybe some tears), before we finish it off with the greatest love story from a listener.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS! We have so much gratitude for you all. For a weekly bonus episode (and bi-weekly newsletter, plus merch), make sure you're subscribed to our Patreon. We love you all! HUZZAH!

| 0:22.3 | podcast listeners, from everything else so we are |
| 0:24.7 | glycogen loaded right now it is so good for my energy levels I was reflecting on just |
| 0:29.1 | how great I feel and I'm pretty sure it's that cookie energy. We are glycogen loaded I feel like the cookie ratio around terrorists I'm pretty sure it's that cookie energy. We are going to get unloaded. |
| 0:33.2 | I feel like the cookie ratio around here is someone delivers as a plate of cookies. |
