Science of the 6-pack with Adee Zukier

Episode 18Brute Strength

  • LISTEN ON

This week’s podcast is pretty special to me because I got to interview my rockstar girlfriend Adee Zukier, founder and CEO of Working Against Gravity. Adee has worked with Games athletes, World Team weightlifters and Olympians, as well as thousands of other athletes. Men, women, young, old, overweight, underweight, etc. She’s seen it all.

WAG has the most incredible transformations I’ve ever seen, and there are tooons of them. So we talk about what it is that sets those people apart (the ones that have huge transformations). We talk about the most common mistakes people make and strategies for preventing them all.

Sure I am biased, but Working Against Gravity has the potential to truly change the world with it’s approach. They don’t just focus on nutrition, but on helping people be happier in general. If you want more information about Adee and WAG go to www.workingagainstgravity.ca.
