For as many problems that still exist in today’s world, in the past, there were a whole lot more question marks than there are now – especially in the field of nutrition and physiology. The biggest reason for this is the science behind how our bodies work and function becoming more sophisticated year after year. Nowadays, we’re able to zero in on how each of our bodies react to certain foods and lifestyle choices, allowing us to personalize our diets and other areas of our lives accordingly.

I’m always on the lookout for ways to take my nutrition and the overall performance of my body to the next level. That’s why, for this special episode, I wanted to bring together some of my all-time favorite SOG moments when it comes to this topic. We’ll be hearing from the great Dr. William Li, Dr. David Sinclair, and Dr. Casey Means. Please help me welcome all three of them back to The School of Greatness!
