What are common nutrition myths?
I'd love to have you on the show. It's real people going through real life stuff. Go to johndeloney.com slash ask ASK. Fill out the form, and we'll see if we can get you on the show. Today, we have a very special guest, fresh off his world championship weightlifting victory. World champion. This isn't the first time or the second time. I think it's the third or fourth. I don't know. He wins everything all the time. The strongest man in the world, and he happens to be one of the world's most renowned athletes. He happens to be one of the world's most renowned experts on nutrition, protein, getting beefcake-y, and taking down people who lie on the internet about nutrition. I'm talking about Dr. Lane Norton, who's also a good friend and big-time advocate for what we do here.
Over the past three or four years, Lane has helped me personally with some challenges I've had. We've navigated life together, and I'm so happy that we finally got the opportunity to sit down in person to talk through everything from what's it like being wrong, exercise and nutrition, like what's the chaos out there in the world versus what is actually real when it comes to nutrition, when it comes to exercise. We talk about... How can some people be so good in certain parts of their lives and then just be train wrecks in others? We talk about so much. We run the gamut here. This is one of my favorite conversations I've ever had from a true, not an Instagrammy or a TikTokky, but a true expert.
Somebody who coaches people, who performs themselves, knows all the academic insights, and who can distill it all down for knuckleheads like me to understand. So sit back and enjoy this conversation with my friend, Lane Norton. You are one of the most graceful people I know behind closed doors. And you have a thing in your guts about charlatans. Where does that come from? Like you... More so than most people I know. You have... I think of it this way. Me and a buddy are walking down the street and somebody mouths off. And they mouth off about me. I often wouldn't hear it. I have a... Thing in my guts. If I hear somebody mouth off about a kid, I snap. I get irrational to the point that I've had people grab my arm and say, keep walking. All right.
You and I can both be scrolling social media on the same thing. And one guy pops off and I'm like, what an idiot. And you have this thing in your guts where you're like, stop. I'm going to go burn that guy's house down. Where does that come from?
I think for me, when I first got into this industry, it was like early 2000s. And it was basically by posting on bodybuilding message boards. I started to get a name on there, started to write for different websites, different magazines, and then started my coaching business. And I was kind of one of the first people to do online coaching at scale. Okay. And you can learn so much through a PhD, but man, I learned the most by working with people. That's it. You know? And I just saw some of the information that was being given to people and the downstream effects of that, of the misinformation, of people just kind of winging it, you know? And... I think for me, going through the graduate school experience and having a really great PhD advisor, Don Lehman, I still got to give him a ton of shout out because... You know, he got a Lifetime Achievement Award this past year, and we were sitting down at dinner, me and him and a bunch of his old graduate students.
