664: Jason Phillips

Dec 18, 2017

In this episode Sal, Adam & Justin speak with Jason Phillips, former cover model and professional athlete and founder of iN³ Nutrition. (www.in3nutrition.com)

Jason’s journey began in a battle with anorexia and has landed him in a position today where he has helped thousands of people achieve their goals. His formal background comes from Florida State University where he majored in exercise science with a concentration in fitness and nutrition. He has consulted for reality weight loss shows, traveled with the PGA tour, and has helped several functional fitness athletes improve performance.

You are going to find that Jason’s philosophy on nutrition and relationship with food fits right in with Mind Pump’s. In fact, after the podcast was over Sal and Jason recorded several YouTube videos covering topics such as IIFYM, how Paleo is a poor diet for CrossFit (Jason has coached numerous CrossFit champions) that have caused quite a stir on YouTube (read the comments!) Go check them out on Mind Pump TV.
