Ep 100: 5 Lessons on Building Muscle and Losing Fat from 100 Episodes

This is the 100th episode of the Wits & Weights podcast, and it’s going to be epic!

Today, I’ll cover not just one topic but five, taken from lessons I’ve learned since publishing the first episode of Wits & Weights almost two years ago.

We will uncover 5 of the most important and recurring themes related to evidence-based nutrition, training, and mindset that come up on the show and that listeners are always asking about. I will also mention three episodes related to each lesson, and I’ll give you my current thoughts and strategies on each topic, including the main takeaways you can take action on today.
