I’ve recorded hundreds of episodes of Muscle for Life on a large variety of things related to health, fitness, and lifestyle, from diet and exercise basics like energy and macronutrient balance, progressive overload, training frequency and size to fads like the ketogenic diet, meat eaters, and collagen protein to Unfamiliar areas such as the point of setting body weight and rapid heart disease.
Some episodes resonate with my audience more than others, but all of them contain at least a few key takeaways that anyone can benefit from (that’s what I tell myself at least).
And as wonderful as it is, it is problematic for you, dear listener:
Nobody has time for that.
Well, some people make the time to listen to most or even all of my podcasts, but my wizbang analyzes tell me that while many listeners continue to listen on a regular basis, they don’t catch every bit of Muscle for Life and so you’re missing out on ideas that can help them On getting a little better inside and outside the gym.
People also say they want me to do shorter, multi-topic episodes, like my Q&A.
And so I had an idea: How about a “best” series of podcasts that contain some of the most practical and compelling ideas, tips, and moments from my most famous episodes?
This way, people who are new to the show can decide if it’s right for them or not, and those who enjoy what I’m doing but don’t have the time or desire to listen to all my stuff can take advantage of the discussions and find new episodes to listen to.
So, in this part of The Best of Muscle for Life, you will hear hand-picked crumbs from three episodes:

Clinically effective doses
Great ingredients aren’t enough to make a great product – you also need the right doses.
That’s why we use the exact doses of each ingredient that has safely delivered the desired benefits in peer-reviewed studies.
Made in USA
Where dietary supplements are made is important, because rules and regulations regarding quality and purity vary from country to country.
And if you want to make sure that the supplements you swallow every day are safe and effective, you want products produced in the United States.
That’s why all of our supplements are made in America in NSF certified and FDA inspected facilities that operate under current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) regulations.
We pay a premium to work with the best manufacturers in the country, but it’s the only way we can also produce the best natural sports supplements.
Lab Tested
Did you know that studies have shown that many supplements contain high levels of toxins such as lead, arsenic, and cadmium?
Not in our interest.
Every ingredient in every supplement we produce is tested for heavy metals, microbes, allergens, and other contaminants to ensure they meet the strict purity standards set by the Food and Drug Administration.
Flavored and naturally sweetened
While artificial sweeteners may not be as dangerous as some people claim, studies show that regular consumption of these chemicals may actually be harmful to our health and that more research is needed.
That’s why all of our supplements are naturally sweetened and flavored and contain no artificial food dyes, fillers, or other unnecessary junk.
Science-backed ingredients and dosages
Unlike some supplement companies, we don’t sell questionable formulas with white labels or ready-to-use labels.
Instead, our customized and unique formulations are the result of extensive reviews of the scientific literature to discover the most effective ingredients for each.
