231 Debunking Fitness Myths with Michael Ulloa


Listen Later

The internet is filled with fitness myths that promise quick fixes and magical solutions. From the carnivore diet to the “best exercise to make shredded abs!” - there’s a lot of 💩 out there.

So when UK-based Michael Ulloa (@michaelulloapt) came through my feed calling out lies on the internet - I knew I wanted to be friends and have him on the show.

Michael is a personal trainer and performance nutritionist with a unique talent for making health advice accessible and empowering for everyone, regardless of their fitness background.

And while we could have gone through the myths line by line, I wanted to empower you with your own BS detector.

So whether your feed is filled with the carnivore diet or some other nonsense - if you’re ready to bust some myths, today’s episode is for you!

You’ll learn:

  • How to spot BS on the internet
  • Why “it depends” is the best phrase to look for
  • How to bridge the gap between fitness professionals and regular people just wanting to move better and feel better
