On this episode, I had the privilege of speaking to Tyler Minton who is a highly regarded Sports Coach and Nutritionist. He has worked with over 200 athletes including the likes of Khabib Nurmagomedov, Daniel Cormier and Max Holloway. (Tyler was actually in Daniel Cormier's House while recording this conversation!) We had an eye opening conversation about various topics including his career, nutrition, weight cutting and he also did a Q&A for us. Thank you to everyone who sent me questions!
