Description
If you've got questions about various dietary protocols, hormonal health, the education system, and more, then this is the episode for you. Chris and I formally met at Keto Con this year, but it turns out he's been loosely following the Savage brand for a little while now. He has tried the gamut of nutritional protocols, experimenting in a smart, controlled way, and he has a wealth of information to share on everything from veganism to shoes.
