Today's episode is also brought to us by Carbon.

Carbon is a diet coaching app built by nutrition expert Dr. Lane Norton.

I've used carbon for more than three years now, and I have to say it's among the most powerful tools for nutrition coaching and effective weight management that I've ever encountered, especially if your goal is like mine, which is to maintain or build muscle while also losing fat.

Now, I'm turning 50 years old this September, and even though I consider myself in pretty good shape and I've been training for a long time and trying to eat right, one of my goals is to hit 50 in the absolute best shape of my life.

To do that, I'm dialing in my nutrition using Carbon with the goals of increasing my muscle mass, increasing my strength, while also decreasing my body fat.

I've been raving about the Carbon app to friends and to family and to members of my Huberman Lab team over the last few years.

And everyone who's joined me in using it has found it to be tremendously useful.

In fact, some of those people are going to join me in my approaching 50 fitness goals and body composition goals.

My birthday is September 26th, and so I'd like to invite you to join if you would like to improve your body composition and fitness to also use the Carbon app.

Now, there are a lot of apps out there that are focused on fitness and nutrition, but what makes Carbon different is that it doesn't just hand you a one-size-fits-all plan.

It actually learns your metabolism over time, and it adapts your program based on your results.

It also allows you total flexibility in how you eat.

So if you're looking to take a smarter, more personalized approach to your nutrition, I can't recommend the Carbon app enough.

To try Carbon, you can go to joincarbon.com slash Huberman.

While Carbon does not typically offer trials or promotions, they've agreed to give a free seven-day trial to all Huberman podcast listeners.

Again, that's joincarbon.com slash Huberman to get a seven-day free trial.

Let's just, if you don't mind, I'll just want to take a slight step back and highlight a couple of things that you said and maybe clarify a few of them for myself and for the listeners.

The goal of going into the gym to train is foremost to create a stimulus that you need to adapt to so that the muscle grows and gets stronger.

In theory, one could do that by training the entire body once per week.

But that would be a very taxing workout, probably requires a coach to do properly.
