Summary
In this Iron Culture, Sigma Nutrition Radio, SNA crossover, Dr. Joe Klemczewski returns! Dr. Joe, possibly the first online bodybuilding coach and person to advise clients to track macros before IIFYM was an acronym, joins us to reflect on the past and help us navigate the future. In the modern information age, there is more information than ever, which is a good thing, right? Perhaps, except that there is also more misinformation and disinformation than ever as well. While the evidence-based movement solved the problem of information inadequacy, we now face a much more complex problem of information illiteracy. What can you do to better navigate the “fake news” littering all aspects of social media, especially the nutrition space, and how can you facilitate better critical thinking in your clients and followers to reduce the likelihood they will undertake harmful diets? In this episode we tackle just that, discussing how paying attention to history and social changes can provide protection against modern fads.

| 0:00.0 | Danny. |
| 0:08.2 | Eric. |
| 0:10.3 | We're back. |
| 0:12.0 | And by weir, I mean, a very confusing change to the hosting schedule across many different days. The listeners are still in morning |
| 0:24.3 | after the announcement that Omar was leaving Iron Culture. And then they were in shock at the shift |
| 0:33.6 | to where Mass is taking a more involved approach to hosting Iron Culture |
| 0:39.2 | and being a little more of that science forward perspective, but of course still focusing on |
| 0:45.1 | history and culture. And now we're coming back with another episode where it is Iron Culture |
| 0:51.1 | presented by Mass, presented by SNA in partnership with Sigma Nutrition Radio. |
| 0:56.5 | And we actually are hitting up against the limits of what the podcast server will actually be able to hold. |
| 1:04.0 | Not because of the multiple gigabytes of data files, but actually the length of the titles are starting to create too much of a problem. |
| 1:12.4 | So if you're listening right now, just be grateful because we're not sure we can keep doing this |
| 1:18.3 | with this podcast title issue we're running into. Yeah, I think the next solution is we've got to have |
| 1:24.2 | like an appendix for the podcast title itself people can download that |
| 1:28.7 | as needed and that should be our workaround but uh yeah sad news about omar i want to send my |
| 1:37.2 | also my heartfelt um condolences to all the iron culture audience in this very sad moment. |
| 1:45.4 | You know, there's a lot of things going on in the world right now, and I think that's |
| 1:48.7 | probably the most pressing one that everyone is is thinking about. And in all seriousness, though, |
| 1:55.7 | it is a big shift. And at the start of every episode, when I think about the intro, I'm going to have this |
| 2:02.1 | paying in, uh, in, in the cookies in my heart, uh, anytime I don't get to hear Eric and get to |
| 2:09.8 | respond to Omar. So yeah, my sincere hope is that, uh, we get to have him on as, as a guest |
