It’s time for more Q&A!

Thank you so much to everyone for writing in—we have a ton of really interesting comments and questions that I can’t wait to work through in today’s episode. I really appreciate all your questions and contributions to this community (if you want to join in, email podcast@bradventures.com), and we thoughtfully read, consider, and answer every single email that comes in. 

In today’s show, we start with a question from listener Brian who wants to see more examples of a “common man” day—what about people who have to get up at 5am and have a desk job? What kind of workouts and lifestyle recommendations do I suggest to those who have to get up at “unnatural” times of the day and have certain lifestyle restrictions based on their circumstances? I also answer questions about optimizing protein intake, tips for keeping your healthy diet affordable, the foods that you can get non-organic when you’re on a budget, the importance of sleep and how sleep deprivation makes everything take 20% longer, how to ensure proper recovery in sprinting, my thoughts on a recent Instagram post from Dr. Andrew Huberman, and more!
