Hi, everyone, real quick before we get into today's episode. This podcast is a labor of love,

and I do it for free. I spend hours each week researching to create these episodes, all with the

goal of spreading science-based fitness information. And I want to continue releasing episodes

one to two times per week, but I need your help to grow it. So if you could do me a huge favor

popular episodes and topics and put them into a few episodes. And y'all loved those. And they were

really helpful for you, I think. And I also, in those episodes, kind of updated some of my

thoughts on things. So I wanted to do

that again, but for the 200th episode. So this episode will be about metabolism. I personally

love this topic. I think it's really interesting. And you all clearly think it's interesting, too,

because we, the metabolism episodes that we've done
