What's up, everyone? Welcome back to the fitness stuff for normal people podcast. I'm Tony,

and this is Mariana. It's no secret. The fitness industry sucks, whether it's the corrupt

multi-billion dollar supplement industry or the endless supply of influencers promoting anything

to drive page use. The bottom line is, we're not trying to provide just another fitness podcast,

but completely change fitness for the better by providing you with the knowledge and tools to give you confidence in applying the best possible training and nutrition into your own life.

Where today we have another special episode, one we actually haven't done in a couple months in studies that blew our mind where Mariana and i both picked handpicked two individual

studies that absolutely changed our way of thinking whether it be in the past few months or even

one today over a decade ago that's what we're getting into and as always thank you so so much to

everyone who gives us a five-star review on Spotify, on Apple. That 10 seconds that you take right now, or as Marianna is about to go into it means a ton to us. I think we broke, do we break a thousand yet on Spotify? We're freaking close. I feel like a broken record. So I keep saying that, but we're close. So thank you all who have done it. And if you're the 1,000, 5 star screenshot it, send it to me and we'll send you some Legion protein or something like that. But Mariana, before we get started, tell them about what we got.
