| 0:00.0 | Thanks for tuning into this episode of the Human Performance Outliers podcast with Zach Bitter. |
| 0:09.8 | All right, folks, welcome back to another episode of the Human Performance Outliers podcast. |
| 0:15.9 | I am Zach Bitter, your host, and today I am coming to you solo to do a little bit of a question answer segment |
| 0:24.3 | as well as some topics. I guess you could call it questions or topics that have kind of come |
| 0:28.9 | into me through email and social media over the weeks. I will target three of those for today's |
| 0:34.7 | episode as well as walking through a sample day of training and |
| 0:38.0 | nutrition in my life. One question I get a lot is, how often do you run or how much do you |

| 1:39.3 | going to be free at some point when it gets released. So the ones that are sitting on Patreon waiting |
| 1:43.6 | get released include my interview with Dr. Nick Norwitz and Dave Feldman. They came on |
| 1:50.5 | the show to discuss a paper that they just recently released on lean mass hyper responders. |
