Hey everybody, welcome back to the Muscle Intelligence Podcast.

I'm here with Ben Pekulski.

Today we sit down with Alex Kichel, a gentleman who's been taking the internet's by storm,

an incredible wealth of information.

This is one of the longest podcasts I've ever recorded because Alex has so much information in that giant brain

that he educates us on everything from peptides to mitochondrial function to his thought processes around longevity, M-Tor-A-NP-K. We even get into his training thoughts a little bit. And this podcast is mind-blowing. And there's a lot of stuff in here that Alex says that, to be honest, I haven't fact-checked. You're going to have to take it, listen to it, do your own research. But there's a lot of value to be garnered in this podcast.

Now I can't say that everything in this podcast is valid.

I don't know for sure that some of the things Alex is saying are clinically proven because he's often working outside of the lines of what is

clinical practice or what is FDA approved or what has PubMed verified studies behind it.

But Alex is working with some of the most remarkable athletes and the most remarkable people in the world.

And he's working with them over and over and over.

And I verified this.

So Alex is a very reliable source, a very trusted, incredible source to these people and getting

them remarkable results. So I do not recommend everything Alex says for you to use for yourself,

but I do recommend that you listen very carefully and learn to explore the things that he's saying

as possible tools for you. Again, this is not advice. This is not medical advice. I strongly suggest you listen carefully. Take an unbelievable amount of wisdom away from Alex because he's a very, very sharp, very, very smart man. But again, I don't want to say that everything that he says has been verified by me because it's not. And I can't always do that with a lot of my guests. But I know there's an unbelievable amount of wisdom here. And you may be able to guard one, two, or as many as 10 incredible key insights and wisdom you can take away to apply to transforming your life. Enjoy the podcast with Alex Kichel. Mr. Alex Kichel joins us today. Where are you coming from? Pennsylvania. Oh, yeah, that's right. What city? An hour outside of Pittsburgh.
