Today’s ep is another episode. This time back to episode 2 of the show, We dive into some basic nutrition of facts about carbs.

Before it’s over, he also warns of the dangers of “PubMed Ninjas.”Eric has a BS in fitness and wellness, an MS in exercise science, a second masters in sports nutrition, a PhD in strength and conditioning, and is a research fellow for AUT at the Sports Performance Research Institute New Zealand.Our ideas
