Hello, everyone. We know the last thing you need is another fitness podcast to catch you up on the newest trends, fat diets that are based on popular opinion and not research. Enter myself, Mariana, on the other end. We made fitness stuff for normal people podcasts to make exercise and nutrition science practical. Our goal is to expose misinformation in this industry by providing only evidence-based education where today we're doing another one of our favorites, which is studies that blew our minds.

We're going to be talking about studies that overlook dietary fiber intake and different health metrics that come along with that.

And then on the other end, going into the strength training and hypertrophy world and looking at different rep range, just total volume and things like that.

Yes, but first, we want to give a special shout out to one of our sponsors of the podcast, Legion,

they're recent sponsors, so we're really excited about that. We have both used Legion for quite some

time. So it's a great fit for a variety

of reasons beyond just them having amazing products. They also work with an entire scientific

review board. Every article, podcast, video they produce is vetted by a team of medical doctors, those with PhDs, and other professionals.

So this is actually great for the studies that blew our mind episode as they fund scientific

research into nutrition, exercise, supplementation to help advance our collective understanding

of how we can live a fitter and

healthier life. So their ethics and goals completely aligned with our own, which is so huge

for us, as you know, if you've been following us for a long time, that's extremely, extremely

important. You can use the Legion link in our show notes. They're on our bio

on social. And you can also type in the code FS pod at checkout for 20% off your first order

or double points on every order after that. I didn't even realize how perfectly that lined up

with today's episode. I was going to say to say can we take like it's so cool because like how many supplement companies out there I'll give you a hint less than like two or three yeah actually give portions of their proceeds to fund future scientific literature they fund a lot of Bill Campbell's research at the University of South Florida to keep pushing this industry forward. I mean, just us being big on evidence-based to really help just cut through the BS. It's just huge that a company actually takes part of their dime and actually put your money where your mouth is. They care about evidence-based. They care about it. They actually give money to it, which is so freaking pretty. It's huge and it's rare. So today.

Oh, extremely rare. It's even more rare. Having two cool people like us talk to you about this.

That was stupid. Don't cut that up.

But today,

keeping that today, big episode. I know it's late East Coast time, Marianne's, I'm getting a little shut down. How are you feeling? No, we're just ready to go. It's like I've just woken up. I'm ready to begin. Oh. Now we're getting a little goofies. Okay. The goofies are picking in the giggles, but we got this.

I'm actually so excited to talk about these studies today. I know the ones you pulled, I'm excited to look forward. Because, again, I hope you guys know, we don't look at these separate, the studies that each of us pull. We don't look at them separate until they kind of come up here. So this is first time that we are actually being and told and walk through these so i i saw just the titles that mariana is using and she's seen mine and i know i got pretty freaking excited because yeah it's a
