What is going on everybody? Welcome back to the Mind Over Macros Podcast as always. I am your host Mike Milner and I

apologize if you don't recognize my voice right now, I am recovering from a nasty little cold

that I had all week,

and I've been delaying as long as I can

because I didn't want to sound like a hot mess, which I'm pretty sure I still do.

So I apologize if you don't recognize my voice. It's still me just a little congested.

This is part of the issue with having young kids running around the

house as they like to bring lots of germs in. I thought I avoided it. It was I think I think Mel's youngest. She has three. I think it was her youngest who started or maybe her middle child. I don't know. Anyway, Mel got sick. Two of our kids got sick, and I was like, okay, well, I'm definitely going to get it.

because when you're in a calorie deficit, when you're dieting, that's another stress on the body.

So you are taking resources away from things like your immune system.

So I'm like, okay, for sure, I'm gonna get sick.

And then a few days went by, everybody was better.

And I was like, oh my God, I can't believe.

I didn't get it. And then course I spoke too soon and it's been it

actually wasn't that bad but I sounded like crap and was very congested and

now I am feeling much better but still there's that like

lingering you know when you have a cold and you finally get over it but then there's that

lingering effect that's where I'm at right now but we're not going to delay anymore. I wanted to do this

episode all about supplements, particularly for fat loss and body composition.

And I also wanted to explain my thought process
