Dr. Mike Israetel joins Ralph Sutton and Marcus Antebi for a hilarious, uncensored conversation about fitness, health, weight loss, supplements, aging, and what actually works.
Dr. Mike breaks down the benefits of resistance training and cardio, whether running 30 miles a week is too much, which supplements may actually be worth taking, and why some popular health products might just be expensive urine.
They also dive into the rise of weight-loss drugs, why appetite may be one of the biggest factors in the obesity epidemic, what happens when people stop taking these medications, and how modern approaches to health have changed dramatically.
Plus, Dr. Mike talks about his rise on YouTube, anxiety, social media, longevity, bodybuilding, steroids, peptides, and why making healthy choices easier isn't necessarily a bad thing.
It’s health and fitness advice mixed with exactly the kind of chaos you’d expect from the goodsugar Podcast.
