So how many Instagram posts and YouTube videos have influenced your vision of fitness, overall health, and proper diet? How many have you tried that left you frustrated and pissed off? Probably too many to count or recall. We’re bombarded with misinformation about fitness, exercise, and diet at nauseum. It’s not getting you or anyone closer to the results you really desire, and it almost makes the results you want a bit unclear and confusing.
Sal DiStefano is no newcomer to the fitness scene. By the age of 19 he was already general manager at a local gym. Sal has over 20+ years of personal training experience, having worked with thousands of clients of all ages. Unfortunately for him, but lucky for you and all of his clients since, he had a health scare of his own from an autoimmune disorder which resulted in him losing 15 pounds of muscle! Sal refocused and started learning more about gut health, hormone health and how to prioritize health over appearance. In 2015 Sal co-founded Mind Pump Media in an effort to provide actionable advice for the everyday fitness enthusiast. And reveal the truth of the fitness industry. Today, Mind Pump is one of the most listened to Fitness and Health podcasts in the world.
His book, The Resistance Training Revolution, breaks down fitness misconceptions that social media and bad diet fads are flooding you with.
