What's up everyone?

We know the last thing you need is another fitness podcast

to catch you up on the newest trends in fat diets

based off of popular opinion with little to know research at all.

Enter myself 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.

We're doing something new today. I'm very excited about it. We are going to be discussing

and reviewing research that absolutely blew our minds. So this is going to be a new segment

and I know I'm excited. Tony. We're playing around with it. Yeah. How are you today?

I'm good. I think we're a little tired, we're a little tired, but that's not going to get us because we're talking about stuff that excites us. We're talking about these studies. I'm pumped for this idea, but we'll see how people like it. If they hate it, we probably will never do it again. but yeah so we're going go back and forth. We're going to be reviewing four different studies today, which across the board are pretty different. That's true. That's what I like about it. We're going to go four different. That's going to be the setup now, which will probably change 100 more times. But I think this is a cool theme of episode. We each pick up research that we truly have read, found ourselves that over time has just,

we've had to reread and reread and be like, wait, wait, wait, wait, what?

Like, changes the way we thought about things previously.

Yeah. Sometimes research does that, which I think is cool and I think people like to hear about it. So I'm excited to see the response we get from the episode, which, by the way, let us know either in the ratings in the comments or just DM us and be like, hey, did you like this? Did you not like it? Because we're not just speaking in domains of purely fitness or purely. We're talking about a lot of different things because we like reading research. We like going out. So we got four pretty cool ones today. And we want to go, I'll start with this. I'll start with this. This one's cool.

Now, what I think caused me to reread and get into it was watching the Netflix documentary,

How to Change Your Mind, which was directed by Netflix, but I think people don't realize this.

It was a book written by Michael Pollan years and years and years ago, which when I first read it, I think it was

just out of high school, blew my mind. It was talking about the different applications of psychedelic

drugs and different psychedelic drugs in terms of mental health and the new research coming on the forefront,

which that's probably where I'm most excited about now, even though I just understand so little of it. I think in the terms of just how complicated mental health is, and that's just not my circle of competence. Unless I spent the last 10 years there, it wouldn't be. But I think it's super interesting because I know more and more it seems like today more people are struggling with mental health. And I think are opening up about it. We're starting to realize that this is a problem we need to pay attention to more at least that's how I see it so this is why this study
