I know it's affecting our business and people are like, hey, should I just be using AI to create diet plans and work out plans and maybe do blood read?

And there's a lot I want to caution you about in this episode.

0:31.6

So whether you're a personal trainer or someone who's been using AI to optimize the way you would feel and perform or try to optimize

0:37.8

your training program. I'm going to give a lot of insights on this one specifically for training.
