Welcome to the tailored life podcast, the one and only fitness and nutrition podcast that takes it way beyond just training and nutrition.

I'm your host, Cody McBroom, and today we have our monthly research review, except today we did it a little bit differently.

And then we recorded a podcast on it. He broke down the science and then I gave my explanation

from my experience in coaching and he usually rebuttled, either agreed or debated what I was

Is it just a waste of money so

we dove into these five topics we took all the research we could find on it and then we just

kind of spit back and forth on these topics so i think you guys are going to get a lot out of

this i really enjoyed the style of conversation when it comes to a research review because it was
