Welcome back to the Stronger by Science Podcast. My name is Eric Trexler. I'm the host of the show, but today I am going to be joined by a special temporary guest co-host. His name is Greg Knuckles.

Greg, thanks for joining me. Thanks for having me on.

How are you doing today?

Doing well, how are you? I am doing great. The weather's been warm lately. We're getting those first like nice sunny days of the spring, which is always great to see.

We've got a lot planned for the show today. It's going to be a great show if I were to guess but before we get into that a couple reminders

Okay, so moving on road to the stage how are things going?

Things are going well and they have been going well for quite a while so this is my ever so slightly preemptive one year retrospective

Macro Factor launched in October or September, late September, but the

internal Alpha Build dropped in February, so I have now been using it for 364 days

tomorrow will be the one-year anniversary which will have already passed by the

time this episode comes out. And so over the past year, where I've been in a somewhat dedicated fashion focusing on my diet and nutrition more. I'm down slightly in excess of 35

pounds which I'm pretty stoked about and I'm feeling I'm feeling truly and robustly in control of my weight for the first time,

probably in my adult life, probably the first time since high school it was much easier to manage because I had so few demands on high school it was much easier to manage because I had so few demands on my time that you know if I wanted to lose 15 pounds between

football and basketball season like whatever I would just be on the court

for 10 hours a day and just melt the weight off.
