While I love a spirited debate when it comes to health and nutrition, I think we sometimes lose the point of why we create content in the first place and do more harm than good with tearing other's down in the comments. I want to share my reactions to reaction videos, nutrition arguments, and what you should think about when creating content. Topics include:

- Talking McDonald’s Beef Patties

- Who Am I Helping? Who Am I Hurting?

- What Most People Want in Their Health and Fitness

- All or Nothing vs The Spectrum

- Remembering the Current State of Health in the World

- Lab Changes Before Scale Changes

- Key Reminders

- Metabolism School 101
