Episode 16: How a Mother of 7 Climbed Mt Everest with ZERO Experience

In a world overflowing with conflicting health advice and fitness myths, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and unsure of where to turn. And if you visit any of the popular social media platforms, you will end up questioning the credibility of health advice being thrown around by most of the “expert” influencers.

In fact, most of them are just pushing products without scientific backing.

Today, Dr. Layne Norton, a renowned nutrition scientist, world champion athlete, and influential figure in the fitness industry with more than one million followers on Instagram alone, is here to separate fact from fiction and provide clarity on the most pressing health and fitness questions.

From debunking the infamous “anabolic window” myth to exploring the profound psychological impacts of nutrition and fitness, Dr. Norton shares valuable insights that will help you navigate the often confusing landscape of health and wellness.

If you’re a fitness enthusiast, a health professional, or simply someone looking to improve their overall well-being, Layne’s insights will teach you the need for personal responsibility and consistency in achieving one’s goals, rather than relying on quick fixes or fad diets being shared from perceived experts and influencers.
