MindPump exposes the RAW TRUTH about health, fitness, nutrition and more... Hosts Sal Di Stefano, Adam Schafer & Justin Andrews pull back the curtain on the mythology, snake oil and pseudo-science that pervades the fitness industry and present science-backed solutions that result in increased muscular development and performance while simultaneously emphasizing health. No fitness institution or fitness "truth" is safe from their quick wit and over 40 years of combined experience in the fitness industry. Produced by Doug Egge.

In this episode the guys break down the exact five-step formula to lose 15 pounds of pure body fat in 90 days — lifting 1-2 compound movements daily, walking after every meal, eating only whole foods, hitting 1g of protein per pound of body weight first, and perfecting sleep every single night. They also get into Joovv red light therapy and how Sal is using it on his jiu jitsu mat burns, red light improving eyesight and macular degeneration, the guys turning into old men (AC wars, slip-on shoes, grunting when they stand up), Doug's Butcher Box chuck roast stew recipe, the viral booty-was-medicinal post that was actually about pirate treasure, ancient civilizations and medicinal booty (not what you think), a Mexican vigilante duct-taping motorcycle thieves to street lights, Lorena Bobbitt revisited, and Sal getting duct tape stuck in his little brother's hair as a kid. Then they coach live callers submitted through mplivecaller.com.
