This conversation is with Ryan Sadilek. Ryan is the creator of Minus The Gym, a health and fitness brand centered around bodyweight fitness and plant-based nutrition. Ryan is a certified personal trainer (ACE-CPT) and nutrition specialist (ACE-FNS) whose teachings on YouTube alone have helped literally thousands of people improve their level of fitness and overall health and wellbeing. Ryan's goal is to help people understand that everyone has the power to turn their health around and get on a better track. Fitness is always accessible and nutrition doesn't have to be confusing.
