Summary
Mike Catherwood returns for a second conversation to talk about his new book, A Meathead’s Guide to Salvation , and the thinking behind it. Known to many as Psycho Mike from Loveline, the iconic radio show he co hosted with Dr. Drew Pinsky , Mike reflects on recovery, fitness, discipline, and what it actually takes to build a sustainable life. The conversation moves through nutrition without dogma, why protein matters more than most people think, how tracking food briefly can recalibrate habits, and why simplicity usually outperforms obsession. Mike also shares how fitness became a cornerstone of staying sober for over two decades. Along the way the discussion drifts into music, comedy, culture, and recognizing talent before fame arrives. This episode is thoughtful, wide ranging, and grounded in lived experience rather than rigid systems.
