Hello and welcome to Sigma Nutrition Radio. This is episode 150 of the podcast. And today's episode is a shorter format episode,

where again, we take one specific topic and try and dive into some practical takeaway information

for you in a more concise format. So today's topic is going to be around the idea of people who find it difficult to gain

weight, to gain muscle mass, or who typically classify themselves as a hard gainer.

And this is a quite significant degree of people who have applied for coaching with us or

who will send in questions just asking for some general

advice. And it's something that comes up time and time again. And really, a number of the different

aspects that relate to why someone may find it difficult to gain weight or why they feel that

they're not making progress despite thinking that they're at least doing what they should be doing. There's a number of different factors related to that. And we've discussed some

of these on the podcast in interviews before. We've discussed them probably in the future. We might

take a couple of these and go a bit more in depth into kind of the science and the specifics of it.

But really the idea for today's episode

is to kind of lay out four or five key things that if you, or maybe potentially even one

of your clients typically will state that they find it very difficult or a hard gainer,

some of this should be just serve as a nice, concise, short, 10, 15 minute

listen where you can get the information and understand exactly what's going on and hopefully

give you a better direction of what you might need to change. So I'm going to bring on one of our

coaches here at Sigma Nutrition and Performance Garben, who is going to run through

this whole issue of hard gainers and what we typically advise and why these things pop up,

and hopefully this information is useful to you. So enjoy this episode. The show notes will be
