Ever wonder how to maximize your muscle growth and strength? Ever thought about the effects of the food you consume on your health? Join us on this journey where we delve into everything from personal travel experiences to insights into the US food industry. We engage in a hearty discussion about our recent escapades, Dave's trip to Palm Springs, and our thoughts on a billion-dollar cookie company's CEO winning the Entrepreneur of the Year award.

Fitness enthusiasts and health buffs, this one's for you! We crack open the intricacies of weightlifting, emphasizing the importance of hitting failure in each set for maximum muscle hypertrophy. Our experiences and anecdotes underscore the value of understanding muscle contraction, pushing through challenging sets, and always striving for improvement. We also unravel the effects of folic acid on our health, revealing how this common ingredient in US food can cause issues like ADHD, brain fog, and high blood pressure.

Finally, we delve into a promising new peptide, MOTC, and its potential role in promoting longevity and preventing age-related diseases. This episode is packed with insights that will make you rethink your training program and food choices. So, gear up for an exciting episode that takes you from the gym to the kitchen, and even to the longevity lab. Don't miss out!
