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

I'm your host, Cody McBroom, and today I have our chief science officer from tailored coaching method on the show to do a research review

slash Q&A. So we bring Dr. Brandon Roberts on the show once again, and we're going to

dive into three specific topics this week. So what we've been doing lately with these research
