| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Brute Strength Podcast, bringing you worldwide experts from all areas of health and fitness. |
| 0:08.4 | We cover training, nutrition, coaching, and mindset. |
| 0:12.3 | Welcome your host, Strength and Conditioning Coach, 2012 and 2013 CrossFit Games Channel, Michael Cajou. |
| 0:19.6 | Mind, Body, brute. |
| 0:25.9 | Hello, hello. This is Mike Cashew and you're listening to the Brute Strength |
| 0:29.3 | podcast. This week, I've got Dr. Anthony Gustin back on the show. |

| 1:45.4 | We talk about my keto experiment that I've been doing. |
| 1:48.8 | At working against gravity, we just launched a keto coaching program. |
