Fitness myths abound, but few are as persistent as the idea of "starvation mode." In this Fitness Friday episode, I get into the truth of this myth with Jordan Syatt, a 5x world record powerlifter. We discuss the science behind metabolic adaptation, why meal frequency doesn't matter for fat loss (if calories are in check), and the potential risks of intermittent fasting. We also share the top two essential supplements for overall health. Jordan Syatt is a 5x World Record Powerlifter, Founder of Syatt Fitness, and Gary Vaynerchuk’s Personal Trainer. He’s charismatic, undeniably knowledgeable, and insightful in ways you might not expect.
