0:00.0 | Yeah, and I think it's a common misconception of expertise that experts just know, for me, really good decision-making experts, |
0:24.6 | they don't have a set answer, a stock answer, that's off the shelf for a given situation. |
0:30.6 | They have a process to arrive at an answer, and that's a very different thing. |
0:35.6 | And I think as practitioners, that's what we need. |
0:38.3 | It's what's my process rather than what's my go-to answer in this particular context. Hello and welcome to another episode of Sigma Nutrition Radio. We're at episode 247 of the podcast today. And as ever, I am your host, Danny Lenn. Thank you so much for taking the time to listen. I hope you enjoy today's episode. And before we get into the nuts and bolts of things, just a couple of things that I want to mention to you guys from the outset. First of all, if you are listening pretty soon after this episode is released, |
1:29.7 | then you'll know that this week is Fight Week for the lightweight title fight between |
1:34.4 | Connor McGregor and Kabib Nurmaka Madov. |
1:37.3 | That is happening this weekend at UFC 229. |
1:41.5 | And to mark that occasion and because of the excitement that's going around at the moment, |
1:45.3 | I thought I would give you guys a chance to get a considerable discount after Sigma weight |

1:57.6 | So essentially the whole system will bring you through how to plan nutritional strategies |
2:02.6 | for performance, recovery, for combat sport athletes, as well as addressing some of the |
2:09.3 | strategies that we use for making weight with those athletes in the days leading up to a weigh-in. |
2:15.2 | So if you just go to Sigma Nutrition.com, |
2:18.2 | you will be able to see in the menu tab |
2:20.0 | the weight cut option. |
2:21.7 | Go there and use the code UFC 229. |
2:25.3 | So that's all one, no spaces, UFC 229, |
2:29.1 | and that'll get you a massive 35% off the Sigma weight cutting system. So if you or maybe someone you know might be |
2:36.4 | interested in that, then please let them know. You can get that until Saturday night this week. |
