Summary
This episode's guest is a returning guest and the absolute best person to talk about a topic we're very passionate about... Science vs. Experience! The truth is, being "Evidence Based" is the combination of these two things. Yet many people online nowadays do not practice in the trenches nearly enough to have the experience required to make truly educated decisions, especially when the coaching decisions needing to be made are in opposition of what the scientific literature might say.
So today, Chris Barakat runs through some touchy-topics with us and challenges the scientific literature... we discuss fasted cardio, reverse dieting, high carb vs. low carb diets, training intensity, and more…

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the tailored life podcast, the one and only fitness and nutrition |
| 0:11.1 | podcast that goes way beyond just training and nutrition and helps you create a life by design. |
| 0:18.0 | I'm your host Cody McBroom and with me today is the one and only Christopher |
| 0:22.3 | Barrackett. Chris is a scientist. He is a coach. He is a pro natural bodybuilder, and he's a |
| 0:29.1 | good friend of mine. I have known him since, shit, 2016. If you are a listener of the podcast, |
| 0:35.9 | or if you have been a listener of the podcast for a long time, |
| 0:37.9 | you have probably heard Chris on the podcast because this has got to be his like fourth or fifth |
| 0:41.6 | appearance. |

| 1:02.5 | But he's also in the trenches with people lifting and dieting. |
| 1:06.9 | And that makes his information much more valuable in my opinion. |
| 1:10.7 | And that's why I brought him on today, actually, |
| 1:12.1 | is because I wanted to have a candid discussion with him, |
| 1:14.3 | partially because he's my friend and I know that I can have this type of discussion with him, |
| 1:18.2 | but also because so many people liked my discussion with Jackson, Piaas, |
| 1:21.6 | that was on the podcast recently. |
| 1:22.8 | If you didn't listen to that podcast, go back and listen to that as well the most recent one with him as he's been on a couple times too um and these are two people that are very similar in the sense of their bodybuilders |
