In this episode of the podcast, I discuss my history with fasting, my exact fasting protocols, the reason for me changing protocols, the biomarker phenotype associated with extended fasts, and the implications of Valter Longo's work with the fasting mimicking diet. Along the way, I go on tangents about Vigorous Steve, Big Lenny, and Jason Blaha, and tell stories from my personal life.

This week, I had the pleasure to speak with Jerry Brainum a second time. I hope you enjoy the discussion, which nearly never stayed on topic.

This week, I had the pleasure to spend an evening speaking with one of the most prolific and influential writers on bodybuilding, fitness, and PEDs in history - John Romano.

This week, I had the pleasure to interview the former Bonanno crime family enforcer, Gene Borrello. Gene's story is compelling because it outlines the fall of the Italian American mafia, which for all purposes could be considered a defunct organization in 2020.

Jerry is a former golden-era competitive bodybuilder and former editor-in-chief for the Weider magazines. He is the most established writer on the subject of bodybuilding in its history.
