What's up, everyone?

We know the last thing you need is another fitness podcast to catch you up on the newest trends

and fad diets based off of popular opinion and not research.

Enter myself, Mariana, and Tony.

We made the fitness stuff podcast to make exercise and nutrition science practical.

Our goal is to expose misinformation in the industry by providing only evidence-based education.
