Summary

For decades, the conversation about weight loss and weight gain has focused on your metabolism. But new research suggests it's time to focus on your brain. In this episode, Arnold explains the changes that happen in your brain that make it harder to keep the weight off. You'll also learn about what most people misunderstand about testosterone, and why it might not be necessary for you to cut out all red meat.

0:00.0	Welcome back to another episode of Arnold's Pump Club.
0:03.0	Today I wanted to jump right in because I was fascinated by a new study Adam shared with me in your writer's room.
0:11.0	Each week I meet with Adam and Daniel. I share with things I'm reading
0:16.7	and questions I'm hearing from people in our pump app or on social media. Adam will talk about the different studies he's been reading,
0:25.0	what people are overlooking and where people are getting misled.
0:29.0	Daniel will tell me all about the community,
