Cutting Through the Nutrition Negativity with Dr. Layne Norton
With so much false information out there for us to consume, how do we know what's "right" when it comes to fitness and nutrition? Today, Dr. Layne Norton and I discuss the toxicity on the internet when it comes to health and wellness and why it's dangerous to fall into a "one size fits all" mentality.
Dr. Layne Norton has a PhD in nutritional sciences and is currently killing it as a bodybuilding coach, powerlifter, and has recently created a training and nutrition app as well as a line of supplements. He has a ton of knowledge in the fitness and nutrition space and it was a pleasure to talk with and learn from him. I look forward to welcoming him back to the podcast at a later date so we can dive further into his work and knowledge base.
