Doomscroll 34: Mike Israetel
Update: 2025-11-03
Description
My guest is Dr. Mike Israetel, a PhD in Sport Physiology and a co-founder of Renaissance Periodization. We discuss RFK, seed oils, endocrine disruptors, xenoestrogens and every other “based” twitter health meme in your news feed. We explore Dr. Mike's background growing up in the crumbling Soviet Union and his life-changing encounter with libertarian philosophy. Later, we investigate the so-called pipeline between far right politics and weight-lifting. Is there any truth to this narrative?
