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 lay out an exact meal plan — breakfast, lunch and dinner — to get lean fast with whole foods, very high protein, berries, rice and greens. They also cover a wild brief history of bad medical science including heroin cough syrup for kids, radioactive water prescribed for vitality, thalidomide causing 10,000 birth defects, Crisco replacing lard on doctor's orders, and OxyContin — and why historical context should make anyone skeptical of anyone who says "just trust the science." They also get into Adam taking his sons to Laguna Seca for Monterey Car Week, F1 driver athleticism and the physics of brake force at 120 pounds, how Sal uses Ketone IQ to extend his energy window past his caffeine cutoff, a new study showing red light therapy produced more fat loss than diet alone while improving lipids and inflammatory markers, a hydrogel wound healing technology that speeds recovery by 90%, and a nuanced breakdown of cold plunge data showing less muscle growth but potentially more training volume capacity. Then they coach live callers submitted through mplivecaller.com.
