0:00.0	Welcome back. Today I sit down with my good friend and exercise physiologist Drew Harrisburg.
0:07.0	We talk about a bunch of new studies including a meta analysis looking at how plant-based diets affect aerobic performance, strength and power.
0:16.0	And I think people have the assumption that it's a trade-off.
0:18.7	It's like I'm going to trade off my strength and power for my endurance.
