This episode is brought to you by ButcherBox and Cozy Earth


Our modern society doesn’t always allow daily movement, eating whole foods, and prioritizing quality sleep. Yet we know these factors, among others, are critical for preventing chronic disease and increasing longevity. With all the content on movement, calories, and body composition, it can be challenging to sort through what we must implement and what we don’t have to expend as much energy avoiding. Whether you are just starting your wellness journey or looking to move to the next level, this episode is for you. 


Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down for round two with personal trainer and co-founder of Mind Pump Media, Sal Di Stefano, to get his expertise on losing belly fat, calorie counting, strength training, and community. Sal shares the latest research on forming healthy habits, movement, and cancer prevention. He also shares his best practices for strength training for beginners or those looking to optimize their workout routines. He also discusses the importance of sleep, critical supplements for recovery, and how to change our algorithms for optimal personal growth.
