Today I have a guest all the way from the Netherlands, and the owner of Iwannaburnfat.com, Mounir Azegra. You may have seen me share a fair amount of his content on my instagram story, but his website and his Instagram contain a lot of well researched topics and studies on everything fitness and nutrition.

He spends a great deal of time reading through studies and research journals in order to turn it into a more understandable and digestible form of literature so that the average person can learn it without having to understand research jargon. His content is pretty fantastic and I have been following him and reading his stuff for some time and think that there is a lot that can be learned from someone that is constantly digging through the mud of the fitness industry. Today we talk about a wide range of topics including dieting, exercise, supplementation, fitness programming, developing an online business and so much more. I will warn you all, this is likely one of the more dense podcast conversations I have recorded, so hang in there! There is a ton of excellent info within this episode. Without further ado, I hope you enjoy my wide ranging conversation with Mounir Azegra.

Show notes can be found in the future at my website: www.lifeandfitnesswithdbanks.com

The Banks Audio Project was born out of a never ending quest for knowledge in fitness, health, business, and life. This podcast is a compilation of conversations I seek consistently to enrich my life and hopefully it can bring value to your life as well!

The Banks Audio Project was born out of my never-ending quest for knowledge and enriching conversations. I realized that much of what I ultimately shared with my audience was coming from the conversations, so I decided to cut out the middle-man and bring these conversations directly to my audience!

I realized that I often pursue conversation with others to learn, grow, and become better every day. I thought I'd share the quest for knowledge to all of my listeners.
