    I have had the pleasure of knowing, working alongside and having a friendship with Jerry for close to forty years. He has consulted with many of my clients on supplementation and did many seminars together with my dad for my clients and staff, which were always well attended and very popular. My dad said that in the over fifty years he was in the business he had never met anyone who was as knowledgeable as Jerry Brainum. We had a lot of fun together working with the boxers. Every time I spend time with Jerry and hear him talk I always learn something new. I have learnt more from Jerry re supplementation and nutrition than anybody.
    A great interview Jerry you're a walking encyclopedia.

    Now that the weather is getting better here in the Midwest I'm able to start exercising again.
    My family is amazed that with 4 workouts per body part, I'm able to contract and flex the muscle again. So it's never too late. But no BS it isn't easy at all. However, the muscles have come back somewhat and I feel better

    I'm a scientist. This guy knows his shit. Unlike so many RUclips "experts" act like they know the science but they really don't. I'm super impressed. Obviously he isn't a complete expert on everything, his understanding of recombinant DNA drugs was slightly off for example, but you can tell he KNOWS this and isn't reading a memo on his screen. The important takeaway is how he understands what we do NOT know, and how few studies, especially human studies, back certain things. This is the same skepticism used in real industry, when you aren't consumed by bro science.

      ​@@joshgoesbananasprotein is always best from natural food. The biological value is way better. Just eat plenty of eggs. Creatin is something Jerry highly promotes and recommends. It is the only "non food" substance I use. I'm not a doctor but have been training my whole life and I'm a bit like Jerry, I love to read studies from multiple sources and use common sense. Most "man made" substances, even when they work, have side effects. After years of trying different diets I now eat a lot of meat, eggs, chicken, fish, some fibrous vegetables. No sugar and limited whey, pasta, rice, etc. My bowl has never worked this good, and my energy levels are really high.

    Cortisol fuels the "fight or flight response" in human beings. If you were in a wild place and came across a dangerous animal or another dangerous human being[s] from an enemy tribe, you decided whether you should fight if you had a weapon and guessed you could kill the animal [for food] or kill the human enemy [not having to encounter them again], or to flee the animal or human enemy if you decided you couldn't win in a fight. The powerful spike of cortisol when in danger is what fuels that "fight or flight" response.
    Cortisol is what has kept the human race from becoming extinct.
