Welcome to the Ben Greenfield Fitness Show. Not just any show, but today a show about pooping.

If you want to fix your gut, fix constipation, optimize your digestion.

I'm gonna trademark that term, optimize your digestion.

You're gonna want to keep listening. And a few other things.

First of all, we are switching the podcast format up a little bit in case you didn't hear, meaning in case you aren't stalking Ben Greenfield Fitness on Facebook.

Basically, we're gonna do one kind of like slightly longer interview every Wednesday.

And then also alternate that with our normal Q and A super specials every other Wednesday.

That will be something that we slowly gradually roll into here, going into whatever it is, the fall of 2016.

Or as all my cool business friends say, the next quarter.

This also means that when I release these longer, slightly more detailed interviews for you, I will have a chance to go over a few things prior to giving you the actual interview.

And I promise, these will be super quick, but I have been getting some questions.

Specifically about Michael Phelps and Cuppying.

That is question number one. I've been getting a lot of feedback on it.

And then the other thing I've been asked about is this new study about something called HMB and ATP for getting 20 to 25% gains in power and strength and lean muscle.

So we'll talk about that in just a second.

But before we do that, I want to ask you a question about succotash.

I grew up when I was a kid watching Looney Tunes cartoons and I'll, I always remember Sylvester used to say,

for the fuck attached, for the fuck attached.

And I never knew what succotash was.

I know what succotash is now because a blue apron, a sponsor for today's podcast on this week's menu, they sent seared cod in summer succotash with fairy tale egg plant.

I don't even know fairy tale egg plant existed, but it does.

And pickled grapes.
