We like the idea of doing something that’s scientific.

We want to know that the choices we make to lose weight, gain muscle, and live longer are based on good evidence.

Unfortunately, the "science" that's presented in the media and elsewhere is often misleading, irrelevant, or untrue. It's easy to be confused.

You might not have a Ph.D. in research science and maybe you don’t have time to read research papers every day. However, you can still become fitter, healthier, leaner, and happier by taking a few minutes to learn what to look for in a scientific paper or news report. 

In this podcast, you’re going to learn how to critically evaluate research as it's presented in the media and in the academic literature. Evelyn Kocur, also known as “Carb Sane," comes on the show to teach you what to look for in a scientific study and how to avoid being fooled by yourself and others when evaluating research. After mastering the concepts in this podcast, you'll be able to interpret, understand, and use (or decide not to use) the health science information you see online and elsewhere.

Whether you like it or not, you have to deal with email. It’s a part of life.

It can also start to take over your life if you don’t manage it well.

You know the feeling — that horrible feeling you get when you know there’s over a hundred unread emails in your inbox. You know that eventually, you’ll have to waste an afternoon answering them all.

So you procrastinate. You stress about your full inbox, and you go nuts thinking about whether or not you missed something important.

It doesn’t have to be that way.

In this podcast, you’re going to learn everything you need to know to make answering email easy, painless, and productive. You'll hear from Ari Meisel, a productivity coach who specializes in mastering email overload.

You're sick of getting misled by false information about health and fitness.

You're sick of getting distracted and disappointed by pseudoscience and unproven ideas.

You’re not alone. There’s a lot of misinformation on the internet. Luckily, there are some simple principles you can use to find the good stuff.

In this podcast, Bryan Chung teaches you how to use the internet to educate yourself about health and fitness without getting duped. Bryan runs EvidenceBasedFitness.net, a website dedicated to “Defying the Madness of Fitness Mysticism.” Bryan is an intelligent, skeptical, and funny guy who really knows what he’s talking about. Make sure you listen to the end of the interview where he shares some of his best tips on how to navigate the online fitness world.
