Hello, friends, welcome back to the show. My guest today is Thomas DeLauer. He's a fitness expert, nutrition specialist, entrepreneur, YouTuber, and an author.

Thomas has devoted his entire career to understanding the science of training and nutrition, specializing in the connection between mental and physical wellbeing. Expect to learn how to build muscle while fasting, what is the easiest step-by-step plan for fat loss, what takeaways we can glean from 100-year-olds around the world, the zero calorie hack to kill your cravings, the extraordinary childhood that shaped Thomas, his best advice on how to overcome past traumas and much more. You might have seen earlier this week that I did an announcement saying that I am doing some live shows toward the end of this year and the rumors are true. I will be on stage in a venue not a million miles away from where you live and the way that we are routing this tour is based on where people that listen to the show live. So if you go to chriswilliamson.live, you can sign up there. Tell me your city, just tell me where you live. And this will determine where the show goes to. The more signups in each particular city, the more likelihood there is of me going there. chriswilliamson.live and you will be the first people to find out about tickets and dates and locations and all that stuff too. And it's gonna be incredibly exciting, terrifying, nerve wracking and everything else. I thank you. In other news, this episode is brought to you by Whoop.

One scoop of Athletic Greens contains 75 vitamins, minerals and whole food sourced ingredients, including a multi-vitamin, multi-mineral, pre and probiotic, green superfood blend and more that all work together to fill the nutritional gaps in your diet. It increases energy and focus, aids with digestion and supports a healthy immune system, all without the need to take multiple products or pills. Even more than that, it tastes nice. Most greens drinks are like kind of distilled swamp water and Athletic Greens genuinely tastes good. It's got a slight sort of tropical taste to it and I really enjoyed it.
