| 0:00.0 | What is up, everyone? Today's episode, we are breaking down the five most misunderstood topics in |
| 0:06.0 | health and fitness, from sugar to inflammation to how your body loses fat and more. These are some of |
| 0:12.6 | the most talked about and heavily debated subjects in the fitness and health space. And today we're |
| 0:17.6 | going to break down each one, reviewing the actual data and research on these topics |
| 0:22.5 | to provide you with a clear picture of how these different aspects function and to what degree |
| 0:27.5 | they impact your health. But before we get into that, if you haven't joined FS Premium, what are you |

| 1:23.1 | ones can really help. Like taking a few scoops of their grass-fed weight protein to make it so much |
| 1:27.8 | easier to hit your protein goal. Using a clinically dose pre-workout to help you get so much more |
| 1:32.5 | out of your training or any other specific area you personally might need help with. Like getting |
| 1:37.2 | enough vitamin D, magnesium, or anything else that they carry, there's a lot of good supplement |
| 1:42.5 | companies out there, but there's a lot more |
| 1:44.7 | bad ones. Why we use and trust legion, because every single product is third party tested and |
| 1:50.5 | backed completely by a scientific review board full of MDs, dietitians, and molecular |
| 1:55.2 | biologists to make certain that each one is evidence-based, clinically dosed, and up-to-date |
