In this episode of the Align podcast, Mark Bell talks to us about the changing nature of the fitness industry. We start with a brief discussion on the effects of psychedelics and its rising popularity. We dive deep into the benefits of exercise for mental wellbeing, and different ways you can develop a more holistic approach to training. We also explore the dangers of overeating for non-athletes and athletes alike, and cover Mark’s experiences with powerlifting and the culture of steroid use in the fitness industry.

Mark “Smelly“ Bell is a meathead millionaire who has leveraged a successful powerlifting career into a multi-million dollar business empire.
