Remove, reduce, try to eliminate any physiological insufficiency, whether that is coming because of caloric restriction.

So we have dealt with a lot of people, whether this is, again, as our athletes or non-athletes, where caloric restriction is a thing.

I would prefer you to get all your stuff from food.

And then for the most part, I want to step away.
FoundMyFitness
#101 Dr. Andy Galpin: The Optimal Diet, Supplement, & Recovery Protocol for Peak Performance
