They explain why cutting calories through carbs is easier, why low carb makes workouts feel bad, how to plan high carb days with purpose, how to run a cycle, and the best carb sources. They also talk about how alcohol affects sleep and anxiety, Sal's Brick phone experiment, peptide rules and the black market, and how body temperature changes your sleep. Then they coach live callers submitted through mplivecaller.com.
