How about this, you guys? We're outside, outside of the black void. It's like another dimension out here. The sun is shining. It's a beautiful day.

And I'm back with another solo episode of the podcast. The first two that I have done have been received with overwhelming positivity. Thank you for that. I'm going to be doing more of these. When I put the word out that I was looking for questions to answer, thinking I was going to do

an AMA, maybe answer four or five questions. The vast majority of the responses that I got pivoted around my diet and my fitness routine in the wake of spinal fusion surgery as I engage with my recovery and am in this sort of rebuilding. process. So this AMA is going to be singularly focused on that because I have a lot to say about this. And in addition to a lifetime of training experience, experience with nutrition, I've also learned a lot over this past year.

That is the first couple of minutes. The rest is $1.
