## Resource

In this episode the guys break down the six fastest ways to lose muscle and get flabby — too much cardio, low protein, poor sleep, nutrient deficiencies, ignoring gut health, and alcohol. Sal shares how fixing a parasite he didn't know he had led to gaining 12 pounds of muscle doing the same exact things. They also get into the power of music and why kids instinctively dance, Lone Star ticks and Lyme disease conspiracy theories, colonoscopy talk, the progression of Paul Saladino's diet, and Adam's son comparing his biceps in the sauna. Then they coach live callers submitted through mplivecaller.com. Alex from Mississippi on chronic fatigue and suspected nutrient deficiency, Dale from Connecticut on building muscle with a herniated disc and CrossFit burnout, Elizabeth from Wyoming on rest periods and winning a gym argument with her boss's husband, and Jenna from Wisconsin on a recurring hip flexor issue during heavy lifting.
