Summary
The GOAT of GOAT's. Alan Aragon. Tony and Marianna had the pleasure of sitting down with a pioneer of the industry. Diving DEEP into the plant vs. animal protein debate, talking about who would thrive most off of high - moderate - and low carb intake, and the flexible dieting approach overall. This episode starts by talking about how Alan got started in the industry with an entrepreneurial take - and sails into the nutrition talk around the 30 minute mark. We hope you enjoy.
