EP 69: Dr. Mike Israetel on Fitness Fact...

Pat Flynn
About this episode

Dr Mike Israetel of Renaissance Periodization joins me for a no nonsense talk on fitness, strength, and health. We discuss a fairly wide range of bombastic claims that permeate (read: infect) the industry, and how a person can differentiate between fact and fiction when so many assertions are being made. 

Interestingly, we also get a bit into productivity, and how Dr. Mike employs periodization into his everyday life to achieve the most efficient stream of results.
