#29 Brian Tanzer

Join me in this conversation with my friend and one of my favorite jiu-jitsu training partners, Brian, who serves as the head of scientific and regulatory affairs at Vitamin Shoppe. Not only does Brian bring 20 years of invaluable experience in the health, nutrition, and supplement industry, but he has also spent significant time teaching nutrition at both graduate and undergraduate levels. He's not just a respected professional, but also a man I deeply respect both on and off the mats. Passionate about education, Brian is dedicated to empowering individuals with the knowledge they need to make informed health choices for themselves. We discuss: - Consistency > Obsession - How to start your health journey - Brian’s Entry into Physical Health - Physical fitness as a pillar of mental Health - Debunking myths about supplements & extreme diets This was also my first episode recorded in person. Brian was kind enough to fuel us with some black coffee before we started recording. Expect more in person pods in the future Hope you enjoy and learned something from Brian like I did!
