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.

They also get into Sal's Collective shoes situation that led into an unexpected swinger conversation, the new federal income brackets and what it says about inflation, why owning a home is quietly becoming a luxury not a right, a massive 236-country demographic study showing global fertility has fallen below replacement rate for the first time in 60,000 years, why going to church is the biggest predictor of economic upward mobility, and the guys sharing their personal Caldera Lab favorites.
