In this episode the guys break down how to heal body dysmorphia — what it is, why it's especially common in the fitness industry, and five practical strategies to work your way out of it. They also get into Adam's appearance on Chalene Johnson's podcast and the conversations around gray market peptides and Retatrutide, a new study showing vitamin D and calcium supplements do nothing for bone strength without resistance training, the nuance around blood lipids and saturated fat, and how Scotland fans drank Boston out of beer during the World Cup. They also cover a fascinating discussion on Super Patch haptic technology, how Mind Pump first partnered with Vuori before anyone knew who they were, and Japan's incredible cultural approach to cleanliness. Then they coach live callers submitted through mplivecaller.com.
