I'm joined on this episode by the wise and brilliant Dr. Kathy Dooley - anatomy fanatic, chiropractor, and all-around strong gal.

Listen in as she talks about how and why the study of anatomy can help you unlock new and untold levels of unrivaled brute strength by learning how to work WITH the natural design of your body rather than fighting against it.

I had the pleasure of once again chatting with the great retired Master SFG Instructor Geoff Neupert - author of "Kettlebell Muscle" as well as a litany of other excellent books.

In this jam-packed episode we go head-to-head on the topic of various muscle, metabolism, and fat loss myths and facts, and how they impact the very real troubles many Americans now face: obesity.

On this episode I am joined by none other than rising UFC star in the lightweight division Natan Levy - a black belt in karate and kung fu and a force to be reckoned with in the Octagon.

In this episode we talk about his humble origins, how he went from being a successful karate school owner, yet sought something more, which led to him closing his schools and striking out (quite literally) into the Nevada desert to prove his mettle in one of the most fearsome sports of all: mixed martial arts.
