What do you feel is the biggest issue that we're dealing here in the US? This is my first question to our guest today.  The founder and creator of MAPS fitness program and Host of Mind Pump Podcast. Obesity is really a tsunami of a problem that literally threatens to bankrupt modern societies. It contributes to so many different health issues. It reduces productivity, innovation, it contributes to mental illness.   It really can't be overstated in terms of impact.  Obesity is a very visible effect of how our changing lifestyle is affecting us. And obesity itself contributes to some of these health issues; rising rates of chronic illnesses, heart disease, and diabetes, for example, which are all connected to obesity.   Sal wanted to shift the direction of the fitness industry from an aesthetic insecurity-based industry to a self-love and self-care health industry.   Through the conversation we discuss nutrition and how it affects weight loss, processed foods and everything wrong with the food industry.   Sal brought up a study that was done where they tested college aged males, grip strength, maybe eight years ago, and they found that college aged males today have the grip strength that 65-year olds had in the 1980s.  Things are going the wrong way   Time to eat better, exercise properly and listen from a few of the best in the fitness industry!   Connect with Sal: https://mindpumppodcast.com/ Get expertly programmed Mind Pump training protocols at https://www.mindpumpmedia.com/maps-fitness-products Or Grab a copy of Sal's book Resistance Training Revolution Resistance Training Revolution - The No Cardio Way To Burn Fat And Age Proof Your Body In Only 60 Minutes A Week ----- Follow me on Instagram and feel free to DM about 1-1 online training @krisgethin Do you need elite sports supplements you can trust to help you achieve your goals in the gym and in life?  Click here https://bit.ly/kgkaged Use the code Healthkik for 15% off all supplements For my preferred Biohacking and anti-aging supplements, go to https://bit.ly/kgbiostacklabs ------- The outcome from using, what is now known as the Visual Chemistry Athletic Skincare range is very clear - your skin will look cleaner, brighter, smoother, younger and will age far better.  Visual Chemistry Gstack Get 20% off and get your G-stack by using code Gethin20 ------- For a range of organic CBD tinctures, bath bombs and muscle recovery creams that I use for sleep, anxiety, joint/muscle pain and relaxation, go to https://bit.ly/kgeliteprocbd
