0:00.0	Hi everyone, Drew Brod here.
0:02.5	Today I have a very special mashup episode for you.
0:05.6	As many of you know, over the last few years,
0:08.0	I've been prioritizing strength training and exercise
0:11.5	in a way that's made it a foundational piece to my life.
0:15.6	This means changing my routine, changing my schedule,
0:19.4	hanging out with more friends who are going to the gym
0:22.1	that I could work out together with getting a trainer,
0:24.3	eating more protein, all because I've been totally convinced that this is an area of my life that I've

1:30.3	Today I'm sharing some of the favorite advice that I've taken away that we've featured in past episodes from three body composition experts.
1:38.0	Dr. Gabriel Lyon, who's been a huge influence in my own world in this area,
