Welcome to the Mind Muscle Podcast where there is nothing new, except all that has been forgotten.
In this episode Simon takes a deep dive into nutrition, more specifically, the philosophy of science and how it relates to what we eat everyday. It's so easy for us to see the tree, but miss the forest when analyzing the rhetoric often found within nutritional studies. Simon wants to help us get a better picture of what's actually important in not only your diet, but in your everyday life.
