5 Fitness Influencers Worth Following (And Why Everyone Else is Lying to You) | Mind Pump 2834

Sal, Adam, and Justin name five fitness influencers they actually trust — and explain exactly why the rest of the space is mostly noise. Then they break down a compelling new study on creatine and anxiety/depression, share the latest on BPC-157 coming back, and go deep on the gray market peptide problem. Plus: a surprisingly heated debate on homeschooling vs. public school, family life tangents, and three live coaching calls covering lower body definition, post-brain-surgery recovery training, and vegan protein quality.
