So you can check out all of our research on that.

We've recorded earlier podcasts on that, and I would encourage you to look that up. Okay, our

guest this week is the big, the powerful, the strong, Obi Vincent. Obie is a bodybuilder,

all things, mobility, fitness instructor. He's got a huge following on the internet. And what's powerful about this

conversation is just how transparent Obie is about everything he had to overcome to become

this super ripped fit looking human being. You know, I think a lot of times when people are

scrolling through

Instagram or YouTube and they see these shredded people, these fitness influencers, they just assume

that these people have some kind of gift and it comes so naturally to them and they put in the hard

work, but they're just, it's inevitable that they're going to be that

fit. And, you know, in listening to Obie talk about it, it's a real struggle. And he's very,

he's very honest about that. He talks about his relationship with food over time and how complicated

it was and various forms of eating disorders and in turn how all of us can have a more

healthy relationship with food. I found that quite powerful. We talk about some of his habits,

some of his training routines, where fitness and health are headed today and his whoop data.

So look, fascinating conversation. I think Obie's a good follow to out there
